Analysis:

Brandon Tanev is an energy guy that has good chemistry with Adam Lowry and Andrew Copp so this signing makes sense for the short-term.  Fans either love him or hate him.  Tanev is what he is.  What I like about Brandon Tanev is that he can skate and he competes every night.  At times it scares me how Paul Maurice uses him but that’s his prerogative.

Final Thought:

I’m okay with Brandon Tanev as a fourth liner and a one-year contract is a no harm, no foul type of deal.

This contract gets: ?

Chevy gets a:  B
