NHL Insider Leaks Chris Tanev's Contract With The Dallas Stars
With the NHL trade deadline on the horizon, conversations around player contracts are heating up. Dallas Stars new addition, defenseman Chris Tanev, is at the center of such discussions, reportedly aiming for a contract that some might say stretches beyond his market value.
Tanev Eyes Hefty Contract
Pierre Lebrun has shed light on Tanev's contract aspirations as he heads towards free agency, suggesting the defenseman is looking for a significant pay raise.
"Lebrun thinks Tanev would be in the 5-6 mill dollar range if he's a UFA.
(Got Yer Back pod)"
This revelation has sparked a debate among fans. Tanev's current cap hit stands at $4.5 million, but given that he's 34, questions arise about the wisdom of investing in a higher salary for him.
The uncertainty surrounding Tanev's tenure with the Stars adds another layer of intrigue. Will he just be passing through Dallas, or is there a longer-term plan in place?
As the trade deadline approaches, the answer and whether Tanev can command his desired salary remain to be seen.
