I know that Tanev has been one of the favorite whipping boys along with Myers on these boards, however I think the guy is a tireless worker, and an inspiration to the team. He never stops hustling, creates turnovers in the offensive zone, and also hits guys all over the ice. He's also very fast, one of the best skaters on the Jets, and is great on the penalty kill. He is somewhat of a fearless player, and blocks a lot of shots.
Right now Tanev is making $ 1,1 mil, and his contract is up at the end of this season. Tanev has 7 Goals, and 6 assists as I write this, so he already has 13 points in around 31 games. Lowry on the other hand is making around $ 3 mil per year, and he has 5 goals and 5 assists, so he trails Tanev in the point production area.
Every championship team usually has a guy like Tanev, who's an agitator, continually delivers hard body checks, and his motor is turned on high all the time. I think this guy is great for the Jet's and he should be extended right now, before he get's to expensive. If we wait, I'm sure we'll lose him to another team. he's an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, and if we sign him now we'll get him at a good price.
Right now Tanev is on pace for about 16 goals and 14 assists, so that would be a 30 point season. Really a very good point contribution from a 3 rd line player, who also comes up big in the playoffs.
I'd really like to hear from other posters, as to what they think of Brandon Tanev, and his value to the Jets ?? I say sign him now to a 3 year contract in the $ 1,5 to $ 1,6 range. What do you posters think ?? You can give your feedback in the poll as well.
