Tanev hasn’t played well for a lot of this season and that has reflected in his advanced stats. But the reason he hasn’t played well is because he’s been playing through an injury.

Apparently the injury has healed now, and that actually makes sense because he’s looked good the last 2 games.

Coming into this season, Tanev has averaged about 48 regular season games in the last 2 seasons.


Last summer the press reported Vancouver shopping Tanev and getting lowball offers of 3rd liners and grinders. Canuck fans blew off this report, continued to insist Tanev was worth a similar return to Hamonic's (1st + two 2nds).

Imo his value is higher to Vancouver then other teams.

Tanev's shot share numbers have been dropping steadily for 5 seasons now. They've plummeted this year, but fair enough, you said he's playing through injury, so we can forgive that in the discussion.

But if shot suppression is your thing that gives you value, and it's been getting worse for years, it's not unfair to say his value is headed the same way. He's 29, and often injured to go along with it. Not saying he has no value, but I think a late-1st is the best piece in any return. Any accompanying prospect is farther down the depth chart imo
