I was low key hoping the Leafs could make something work with him.
Ah well.
Damn, wanted the Panthers to grab him.
Solid fourth liner who can get hot and score in bunches. Always hustles. As long as your coach doesn't overplay him he's a great add.
If I know anything about NHL coaches, it's that solid North American fourth liners who hustle will always be overplayed...
Either way Tanev is the exact kind of bottom sixer the Pens needed.
If you're a Pens fan, you need to pray for reasonable deal.
You can have 1 or 2 slightly overpaid depth players. You can't construct a team like that.
I like it, the Penguins have too many vanilla bottom-6 forwards and Tanev is anything but vanilla. He may not be super great offensively, but he's fast, feisty and physical.
