Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev: Grabs six-year deal
Christopher Tanev (ankle) signed a six-year, $27 million contract with Toronto on Monday.Tanev will head home to his native Toronto on a deal that almost certainly will be his last considering he is 34 years old. The veteran blueliner split last season between the Flames and Stars, making a combined 75 regular-season appearances in which he garnered two goals, 17 assists and 207 blocked shots. Offensively, Tanev won't offer much to the Toronto Maple Leafs or fantasy managers but he should be a mainstay in the lineup, playing around 20 minutes per night.

Chris Tanev: Negotiating rights dealt
Christopher Tanev's (ankle) negotiating rights were acquired by the Maple Leafs from the Stars on Saturday in exchange for Max Ellis and a 2026 seventh-round pick.Tanev is set to become an unrestricted free agent Monday, but this will give Toronto an exclusive window to negotiate a contract with him before that date. The 34-year-old defenseman is coming off a four-year, $18 million contract. He had two goals, 19 points, a plus-22 rating, 24 PIM, 45 hits and 207 blocked shots in 75 regular-season outings between Calgary and Dallas while averaging 19:41 of ice time in 2023-24. He was also leaned on heavily during the Stars' 2024 playoff run, averaging 22:17 while recording two assists, a plus-7 rating, six PIM, 30 hits and 73 blocks across 19 contests. The blueliner is recovering from a tendon injury, but he didn't miss any time during the postseason and will likely be fine for the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Game-time decision Friday

Stars' Chris Tanev: Departs Wednesday's game
Christopher Tanev (lower body) did not return to Wednesday's Game 4 after blocking a shot in the second period.The Dallas Stars initially labeled Tanev as questionable to return, but his inability to get back on the ice in this contest is not a positive sign. The 34-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Stars' defensive structure, so a potential absence for Friday's Game 5 or beyond could spell trouble for the team. If Tanev is unable to play, Nils Lundkvist is the most likely player to draw into the lineup, though he has seen very sheltered minutes when he's played during the postseason.
