Quoting: rktkt66
Not a chance.......
Below are the GSVA's for the defense on Calgary and Buffalo last year. Other than Weegar, Tanev had the highest defensive component of any player. His overall GSVA was also Higher than Owen power and anyone not named Dahlin on Buffalo. Considering Buffalos D line had only two player with positive GSVAs, yes they would jump at that trade to provide stability on the back end.
