The Maple Leafs are facing some regrets having missed out on Zadorov but there are some reports out there confirming that they are seriously considering trading for Chris Tanev. He would easily become one of the team's top three blue liners, especially as a 20 minute a night defenseman. The question is what's the asking price?
Pierre Lebrun shares what he's hearing :
The Flames seem in no rush to part with Tanev and want a solid return. It might be a high price possibly involving salary retention to fit Tanev under the Leafs cap. Tanev is a top-three defenseman and is in the last year of his $18 million contract, becoming a free agent on July 1.
The real question is :
Is he worth a first round pick to secure him now or should Toronto wait for the trade deadline which could become more expensive with a bidding war?
