After going undrafted, Chris Tanev signed a contract as a free agent with the Vancouver Canucks in 2010, and over the past four years he has risen quickly through the orginization all the way to the Canucks' first defense unit. The 2014/15 season was probably Tanev's best in the NHL, and general manager Jim Benning rewarded him for his strong play with a five-year contract extension.
