I've seen some posters insisting that Tanev has lost a step and is playing poor defensively since the season started.

Yeah, visually he looks a step slower than last season, and has had some noticeable bad give aways. But this chart is a good reason why it's important to balance eye test and advanced stats. He's doing better than I and others have thought from watching.

When you have to pay players more than other teams it will always be an uphill battle

He also has always played in man systems, not zone. I am sure that isn't helping.

Trade Tanev before he gets injured. I'm sure some team would want some defensive help right now

One of the only trades I can see us making that any team would accept is Markstrom for Nylander.
Might have to add to get him but salaries are close enough and helps both teams, Wolf and Vladar might not be as good as current goaltending but won't be far off, while Nylander might have chemistry with Huberdeau or Kadri, only hope I see going forward to get these guys going.

Why would Toronto ever do this ?

Nylander is a skilled PPG player (with some flaws but still) and Markstrom is an inconsistent #1 goalie.

If Toronto deals Nylander you would be looking at at least Hanifin and even then I think Nylander is worth more.

Toronto is forever in search of a goalie, Markstrom has been better this year and Toronto probably can't afford to keep Nylander, hey man our options are limited, maybe not the best deal but what else can we offer?

Markstrom might get a 2nd or something. Nylander would get a similar return to Lindholm.

If a team called and asked for Markstrom, you give him to them and buy them a steak dinner for taking him off your hands.

I think Markstrom is well on his way to rebuilding his value. With 2 years of term left if he can have a good year I think there will be a market there for him. No need to rush Wolf into the tank

The Nylander proposals make me smile. I mean, ignoring any valuations, the Flames acquire Nylander. They instantly re-sign him to an 8 year extension, prompting an 8 year extension for Lindholm.


Huberdeau - Lindholm - Nylander for the next 8 seasons (well, 7 plus the rest of this season). Just make them a line, no matter what. I would bet that by year 5 together, we would probably start to see some chemistry forming.
