Tanev isn't overrated he's simply unreliable - his style of play causes his injury history and without that style of play he's overrated
Some fun facts to consider.
Hanifin has been playing for a MUCH better team that last 3 years.
Hanifin has 87 pts and 20 goals +/- -14 and Montour has 85 pts and 22 goals +/- -7
Hanifin is more physical and hits more.
Hanifin scores less on a much better team with a worse +/-
Please give it your best shot now to convince me who is the better of the two.
One is left handed, one is right handed.
Buffalo may over pay to balance the pairings.
Oh yes let me add, last year Montour had the best +/- among all Buffalo skaters and only Ristolainen had a higher TOI/gm.
I should also add that Montour played about 65% of the time on his off wing, seriously impacting his performance.
