INSIDE THE LEAFS: Was Chris Tanev the right signing for Leafs? How the Maple Leafs fared on day one of NHL free agency.

JULY 3, 2024 • TORONTOSUN.COM

Grabs six-year deal Tanev (ankle) signed a six-year, $27 million contract with Toronto on Monday.

Impact Tanev will head home to his native Toronto on a deal that almost certainly will be his last considering he is 34 years of age. The veteran blueliner split last season between the Flames and Stars, making a combined 75 regular-season appearances in which he garnered two goals, 17 assists and 207 blocks. Offensively, Tanev won't offer much to the Leafs or fantasy players but he should be a mainstay in the lineup, playing around 20 minutes per night.

Negotiating rights dealt Tanev's (ankle) negotiating rights were acquired by the Maple Leafs from the Stars on Saturday in exchange for Max Ellis and a 2026 seventh-round pick.

Impact Tanev is set to become an unrestricted free agent Monday, but this will give Toronto an exclusive window to negotiate a contract with him before that date. The 34-year-old defenseman is coming off a four-year, $18 million contract. He had two goals, 19 points, a plus-22 rating, 24 PIM, 45 hits and 207 blocked shots in 75 regular-season outings between Calgary and Dallas while averaging 19:41 of ice time in 2023-24. He was also leaned on heavily during the Stars' 2024 playoff run, averaging 22:17 while recording two assists, a plus-7 rating, six PIM, 30 hits and 73 blocks across 19 contests. The blueliner is recovering from a tendon injury, but he didn't miss any time during the postseason and will likely be fine for the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

Dealing with tendon injury Tanev is recovering from a tendon injury, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Friday.

Impact Tanev had two goals, 19 points, 24 PIM, 45 hits and 207 blocks in 75 regular-season outings between Calgary and Dallas in 2023-24. He also recorded two assists, 30 hits and 73 blocks across 19 playoff contests with the Stars. The 34-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July, so depending on the severity of his injury, it might complicate his contract negotiations over the summer.

Chips in with helper Tanev logged an assist, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

Impact Tanev avoided missing time after suffering an injury in Game 4 versus the Oilers. The defenseman did his job this postseason, picking up two assists to go with 73 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-7 rating over 19 playoff contests. Even at 34 years old, Tanev should have a healthy market as a steady and reliable shutdown defenseman if he makes it to free agency July 1.

Dallas Stars defenseman Chris Tanev is active for Game 5 of the Western Conference Final after taking a shot off his right foot in the previous game

Game-time decision Friday While coach Peter DeBoer is optimistic that Tanev (lower body) will play versus Edmonton on Friday, Tanev will be a game-time decision, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

Impact Tanev was injured blocking a shot Wednesday in the second period and was unable to return. Tanev is a stud defensively and if he is unable to go, the Stars will need to fill a big hole on the blue line. Look for Nils Lundkvist to play if Tanev is unable to go.

Departs Wednesday's game Tanev (lower body) did not return to Wednesday's Game 4 after blocking a shot in the second period.

Impact The Stars initially labeled Tanev as questionable to return, but his inability to get back on the ice in this contest is not a positive sign. The 34-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Stars' defensive structure, so a potential absence for Friday's Game 5 or beyond could spell trouble for the team. If Tanev is unable to play, Nils Lundkvist is the most likely player to draw into the lineup, though he has seen very sheltered minutes when he's played during the postseason.

Chips in with helper Tanev logged an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

Impact Tanev helped out on Esa Lindell's empty-net goal. The assist snapped an 11-game point drought for Tanev, who continues to be a defensive force with little scoring upside during the postseason. He's posted 35 blocked shots, 12 hits, eight shots on net and a plus-5 rating through nine playoff outings following a 19-point regular season across 75 games for Dallas and Calgary.

MAY 9, 2024 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Assist streak at three games Tanev notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Tanev had a shot attempt tipped in by Joe Pavelski in the second period, and that goal stood as the game-winner. This is the third straight game with an assist for Tanev, who has remained steady as ever on defense since he was traded from the Flames to the Stars. The blueliner has five points and a plus-7 rating over 16 contests with Dallas, and he's up to 19 points, 52 shots on net, 201 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating through 72 outings this season.
