Maple Leafs acquire rights to UFA Chris Tanev

While the addition of Tanev wasn't possible at the deadline it would appear that the 6'4 193lb thirty-four-year-old may be on the verge of joining Toronto as early as Monday when free agency opens.

While there are concerns about Tanev who has not been able to complete a full eighty-two game schedule since the 2021-2022 season due to injuries, the addition of him could be the boost the Maple Leafs sorely need on their back end, but at the right price & term.

Fans will have to wait and see about the length and term of the contract but it seems like GM Brad Treliving is on the cusp of getting his man.
