Yes it was Tanev, it was also Sutter who put him and that pairing in good situations. And that translated into a better looking OK, and, rejuvenated Tanev 's career to an extent as well.
Same went for Gudbranson and Zadorov, and both of those men also owe Sutter some of their subsequent pay checks for the way he deployed them to help set the team, and the players personally, up for statistical success which lead to much more lucrative contracts years later.
