TANEV TRADED TO WINNIPEG
The Winnipeg Jets acquired winger Brandon Tanev from the Seattle Kraken for a second-round draft pick in 2027.
What does it give the Winnipeg Jets
The Jets know Tanev well, since they were his original team. He is a great penalty-killing winger with forechecking ability and boundless energy. He will help Winnipeg down the stretch.
What does it give the Seattle Kraken
The Kraken are clearly sellers at this point in the season, so moving pending unrestricted free agent Tanev was always the right move before this year's deadline. Good deal for Seattle.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Tanev is a bottom-six winger whose intangibles and real-life value overshadow his fantasy impact by large amounts.
