Button: ‘Tanev is exactly the type of defender the Leafs need to be successful in playoffs’



Ryan Rishaug was joined by TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button to get his thoughts on the Maple Leafs trading for defenceman Chris Tanev, the flurry of moves made by the Lightning on Saturday, and the spectacle put on by the NHL having the draft at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

  1. Good move I just hope it’s only for a few years not 5 or 6 like what I’m hearing

  2. I think this was a good move yes he's 34 but that not old and he's a right hand defence like we need

  3. After watching the most recent Stanley cup it should be more obvious than ever that goaltending is extremely important.

    Joseph woll is an amazing back up because he can string 3/4 good games in a row together but that’s it. He’s not reliable, he’s never played more than 40 games, stop wasting season after season and go get a real goalie.

  4. Yes ,Tanev is “Exactly” what the Leafs need. Another oft injured part time player. Tanev’s only had “One” full season played in his career, and that was the 21/22 season.

  5. First check out the 13th pick in the draft on Youtube. Funny !
    Having said that Leafs have the Hype machine in full gear and the player isn't even here. Treliving hired him before so they have a history. He will be 35, in a few months and I am hearing a 5 year deal ?
