Flames Rumors: Surprising Team Continuing To Show Interest In Chris Tanev

Monday, February 26, 2024 ,

As the NHL trade deadline looms, the Ottawa Senators persist in their pursuit of Calgary Flames defenseman Chris Tanev.

Reports suggest that despite ongoing negotiations, a deal has yet to materialize, with the Flames reportedly prioritizing the trade of Noah Hanifin before addressing Tanev's potential move.

Despite these obstacles, Senators' management, led by Steve Staios, remains resolute in their pursuit of Tanev, recognizing the seasoned defenseman's value in bolstering their blue line.

Tanev's veteran presence and defensive prowess make him an enticing target for the Senators as they seek to strengthen their roster for the challenges ahead.

With all the trade rumors swirling around him, the 34-year-old has scored one goal, 12 total points, a +13 plus/minus rating, and 169 blocked shots across 55 games played this season.

Despite the complexities of mid-season trades and the reluctance of playoff-bound teams to part with key assets, Ottawa remains undeterred in their efforts to secure Tanev's services.

With the trade deadline approaching, all eyes are on whether the Senators can navigate the negotiations successfully and add Tanev to their lineup to fortify their defensive core.

Even as speculation arises regarding the possibility of pursuing Tanev as a free agent in July if a trade doesn't materialize, Ottawa's focus remains on exploring all avenues to bring the experienced defenseman to their team before the trade deadline expires.
