I know were both in agreement that Tanev is too expensive for the cash strapped Leaf's, but that doesn't mean he might not be worth that, and there are likely plenty of teams bidding up the price.

<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/seven-trade-destinations-to-watch-for-calgry-flames-defenseman-chris-tanev" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Matt Larkin DFO</a> - Outlines 7 teams with potential interest and the potential cost to those teams.

<a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/canucks-afford-chris-tanev-ditching-defender-first" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Canucks Army</a> - Stephen Roget outlines the Canucks interest and the hoops they would jump through to get him, he believes Tanev starts at a second and gets bid up from there.

Those last two I consider to be clickbait trash, but just help to prove the point that there's a ton of interest, granted that doesn't mean there's actually any interest amongst teams front offices, but I have to believe there's some fire behind all that smoke.

Go google Chris Tanev trade, I think every writer in the industry has an article about him. Trying to be objective, I have to recognize that's just a product of the "echo chamber", Friedman or Seravalli mention his name and everybody will write an article about that article.

Flames fans are more than justified in wanting a 1st for him based on what's being crammed down their throats, I didn't even include articles from Flames fan sites because it felt like cheating.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>You just are ignoring the fact that he says this is what they are going to be a that very least. Besides that, not being a super star doesn't make someone useless. Being an effective middle 6 forward is an awesome prospect. You're just a silly fool looking to fight. Why anyone would enjoy being seen as a pointless troll is beyond me. What a waste of time</div></div>

He also didn't say that;

"<em>Fraser Minten, Forward

Minten started this season with the Leafs after a solid training camp and he will be turning pro full time next season. He was traded from Kamloops to Saskatoon in the WHL shortly after Toronto sent him back to junior. Minten has produced seven goals and 16 assists in 17 WHL games this season. <strong>He projects as a third line NHL forward who can penalty kill and pitch in with some secondary offence as well</strong>.</em>"

"<em>Easton Cowan, Forward

The Leafs' first-round pick in 2023 (28th overall), Cowan is scoring at a very high rate in the OHL with 16 goals and 34 assists in 28 games. Cowan plays quick and fast. He’s not shy about battling in the trenches and driving to the net. <strong>He projects as a middle-six forward who can be deployed in a variety of roles and produce, at worst, secondary offence.</strong></em>"
