I see a lot of analysts compare Tanev and Hamonic and although Tanev is a slightly better defender its not by much at least from what they say. I do agree though but I don't really see much comparison between Schmidt and Tanev as they are different types of defenders I see the puck being moved out of the zone more with Schmidt which means the Goalies are taking less shots and Vegas lit up the goalies to exhaustion in there series together during the playoffs.
