Calgary’s obviously trying to go all in right now. They’re not pressed against the salary cap having already dumped Monahan, why would they make themselves worse this year by trading away their best defensive D?

Because they have signed Weegar and they will get Hamonic as 6-7th D-men. Also they save 4.5 millions in cap space next year to bring in another impact player or someone similar to Tanec for a lower price.

Don't think he would really be available but Tanev is probably the best possible Chabot partner.

So in a year where they’re clearly going all in, where Weegar can walk for nothing next offseason, just like Gaudreau this year, you’re saying they should trade their best defensive d for a much worse d making just a bit less than him and some scraps that won’t help the team in the next few years. Then you’re proposing they take the money they saved trading the last year of that contract to go out and find another player to replace the one they just traded the year before. Also, we live in a world where Ben Chiarot signed for 4.75 mil and Erik Gudbranson signed for 4 mil. You are never going to find someone as good as Tanev for a cheaper price. You ever see the Family Guy mystery box clip? That’s this situation here.

there's very few players to replace Tanev, if any. one of the best defenders in the league. Calgary does not do this.

Bro, Crooker is UNTOUCHABLE.

10/10 name cannot be traded.
