Tanev is fine as a "supplemental" physical player, such as he was with Winnipeg, where the actual big boys did the heavy work.

But if you're counting on Tanev to be the #1 (and only) physical presence on a team of punching bags, such as he was with the Penguins, that's way too much to ask of him even at his inflated salary.

Given his age, background and style of play -- traits which were identical to a player acquired in a significant trade several years earlier -- I still maintain that JR was thinking "ZOMG!!1! Chris Kunitz 2.0!!!!" when he signed Tanev to that deal.

I just hope some team is like wow we don't have enough LHD we need Marcus Pettersson.

It's my only hope for some salvation at this point.
