The Calgary Flames made some changes over the off-season, seeing top pairing defender TJ Brodie head to scenic Toronto as a free agent. To fill his void on the right side, the Flames signed veteran defender Chris Tanev from the Vancouver Canucks.
But what can Flames fans expect to see from Tanev in the upcoming campaign? Here are some reasonable expectations for the 30-year-old.
How he got here
Originally from the Toronto area, Tanev came up through local minor hockey and grinded his way through junior A before moving onto college hockey with the NCAA’s Rochester Institute of Technology in 2009-10.
