Personally I feel that at some point, if a player is valuable enough, he should maybe assess the constantly changing on-ice situations and figure out how to contribute to the team while minimizing injuries to himself.
Of course this is easier said than done, and I'm absolutely not saying Tanev is at fault or anything stupid like that. What I do think, however, is that Tanev should take some time to reflect on the numerous times he's been injured over the last year or so, and think about what could've been done to avoid them. Forget trade value, this is about his own value as a player.
Injuries suck, no doubt about it.
Fwiw, I seem to recall the commentators talking about Chris doing something like this last summer. It was very early in the season. I can't recall exactly what was said, but iirc, it was something to the effect of consulting with someone about how to be less vulnerable to injury and/or how to train differently to that end
I shall see if I can dig up some kind of a link.....
Edit: Seem to have found one. It's an interview from last May on 650. I can't be bothered to tinker with the link too much atm but here it is:
Chris Tanev on getting 'beefed up' and other strategies for injury prevention - Sportsnet.ca
Good thing we didn’t trade him. Management continues its run of brilliance.

Not his fault as he’s quoting our very own hfboard poster DL44 (aka Literally).Is Gudbranson your nickname for Stecher?
This is why I laugh when people expect value for Chris Tanev via trade.

This is why I laugh at those who didn't want Tanev traded in the past. And this is also why I laugh at people who want to re-sign Edler to 3+ years.
To think of all of the future assets a competent GM could have brought back by selling at the right time on these guys. So much missed opportunity.This is why I laugh at those who didn't want Tanev traded in the past. And this is also why I laugh at people who want to re-sign Edler to 3+ years.
Mikey?The tank is on, brothers.
Start whats-his-face instead of Marky.
