Columbus Linked To Seattle Forward Brandon Tanev

TheFourthPeriod.com has linked Seattle Forward Brandon Tanev to the Columbus Blue Jackets as a trade target.

Tanev, 33, has played in 521 career games for the Winnipeg Jets, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Seattle Kraken. He has 173 career points.

In the recently updated article, it also has Toronto, Washington, NY Rangers, and Vegas listed as being linked to Tanev as well.

At this stage of his career, it can be assumed that Brandon Tanev would want to go to a Cup-contending team. He is in the final year of his contract and will be UFA. He also has a 10-team modified no-trade clause, which could complicate things.

Tanev seems like a player GM Don Waddell would go after if they were to make a serious run for the playoffs. If the Jackets can get hot and stay in the hunt, he could be perfect for this team. Waddell has the picks to pull this small move off.

What's Next: The Blue Jackets have a four-day break and will travel to Vegas next Thursday to play the Golden Knights.
