I expect him to be an option. If Tanev had more offensive upside I might think differently. How many times was Tanev hit hard by Winnipeg yesterday? That is the book on Tanev from what I can see. Not unusual when teams look at video and see him as a superior puck mover. The issue becomes how well will he stand up, physically, in CUP play. He gets by in regular season but we all know that CUP play is a different game. It is about attrition. If Benning is building a CUP contender he might decide to move Tanev while he has max value and get that forward help the team needs.
