If you told me that of all the Flames pending UFAs to be traded Tanev would have the best impact in the POs.... I'd have said "that makes sense".
Seriously, Tanev is the kind of guy you want to add to an already successful team. Not a guy you have to wedge into your top 6 that presumably is good. Not a Dman who is useless when not producing points. Just a guy who can fill a shutdown role, throw out in all situations (he is an underrated puck mover) and a great character guy.
