Earlier this week, Ottawa Senators general manager Steve Staios expressed the team's focus on acquiring complete players and seasoned professionals to support their young squad. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, one such player on the Senators' radar is veteran Calgary Flames defenseman Chris Tanev.
Friedman highlighted Tanev as a top name when considering experienced professionals in the NHL, making him a logical target for the Senators.
However, Friedman suggested that Ottawa might not be Tanev's preferred destination due to the team's current position in the standings.
Tanev has been a subject of trade rumors throughout the season, especially with the Calgary Flames facing a slump. As the March 1 trade deadline approaches, Tanev could become a sought-after target if the Flames decide to make moves.
In the current season, the 34-year-old defenseman has recorded one goal, eight assists, and boasts a plus-7 rating in 45 games.
Where do you think Tanev ends up?
