Sign with a team that can afford to give him 4M and will give a NMC.
Be able to rest and rehab any injuries instead of playing through them fighting for a playoff spot.
Get moved at the deadline to one of his preferred teams at a massively reduced salary allowing them to load up.
Trying to pick a cup winner is tough at any time but it's a lot easier in March than it is on July 1st.

Yeah...but I think he's going to take a place that treated him and his family well and still has a shot at winning.
By all accounts he loved Calgary but we are nowhere close to competing much less within Tanev's career window.
So. He didnt throw the Flames or Calgary under the Bus, so credit to him for that, but we're just not a fit and realistically for his career? Probably never will be.
The Tanev trade is one that I have a lot of respect for.
He went to Conroy and told him that his priority was to win while Conroy was burning the team to the ground. And Conroy respected that.
Thats all I ask for. Honesty. Both Tanev and Conroy have my respect for that.
