Trade

If the leafs were willing to make that deal it would already be done - no one is paying a first for unretained Tanev. The asking price is a 2nd and a prospect, that is likely with 50% retention unless the flames take back a similar contract.

Now if the deal also had Hanifin retained, the 2024 1st ++ would most certainly be in play...

Tanev will go for a first if he’s healthy just have to wait on teams to get desperate cuz there’s not much options for rd besides Lyubushkin and walker or someone that carries a huge contract like parayko

Tanev for a 1st would be cool but, I think it's unlikely without retention

Dallas has a need for cheap players up front if they want to compete for more than this year so moving Bourque or Stankoven for a rental isn't happening IMO, and Dallas can't afford Hanifin next year even if they had him for this year.

Switch Nosek for Vanacek and maybe NJD think about that trade but, I doubt the Flames would get a 1st + 2 high end prospects more likely it's one or the other. I personally hope Calgary keeps Marky and have Wolf back him up until Wolf is ready to start

No one is trading a first for Tanev, keep dreaming

If Tanev was going for a first, the trade would have been made already. No one is paying a first
