Tanev is a third pairing d-man on this team and takes too much abuse from opposing teams.
I often wonder how he gets back up after some of those hits he takes but he does (but for how long?).
Don't get me wrong, he's young, one of our own guys and shows some potential to be a top 4 d-man but...
He's not Hamhuis, Beiska, Edler or Garrison.
Yes, he's a steady 3rd pairing d-man that can make a nice outlet pass for sure but at what cost?
It should be at a 3rd pairing d-man wage.
So then, what's he worth... a 3rd pairing d-man wage I say,
so let MG and LG play hardball as 3rd pairing d-man aren't that hard to find.
