<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>There’s a lot more to hockey and what makes a good player than just their offensive statistics. In Hockey you have Offensive Defensemen, like Tyson Barrie and John Klingberg, Defensive Specialist Defenders like Chris Tanev and then Two-Way All-Around Defensemen like Noah Hanifin &amp; Rasmussen Andersson who do it all

Tanev is considered one of, if not, the best shut down defenders in the NHL against elite/top players.

Yes, he’s a Top-4 (Top-2 on the Leafs) and I’m not sure what age has to do with it, he’s still playing at his peak and hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down any time soon. He plays 20mins/night on Even Strength and Penalty Killing to prevent goals against and get the puck out of the d-zone, which is his main focus and purpose, it’s not producing offence</div></div>

He's TJ Brodie that shoots right. Charlie Mcavoy is what most people consider a top defender. Writing on cap friendly isn't increasing his value so you don't need to try and convince anyone he's more than an aging 4th defenceman.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>Nah, Tanev is the most in demand player on the trade Board and has several teams bidding for his services

There’s a reason most GM’s don’t pull the trigger till Trade Deadline Day. They’re all playing chicken and Conroy’s just being patient and waiting for the absolute best available offer. It’ll come and Teams will also want to ensure they’re not playing against Tanev just as much as they’d like him on their Team</div></div>

Yeah every team is just quaking in their boots over having to play against Tanev. I wouldn't be shocked if Conroy convinces himself to keep the players for a playoff push and then miss the playoffs and lose them all for nothing. Hard to go full rebuild with some of their other terrible contracts
