With the playoff season fast approaching, the Calgary Flames' defenseman Chris Tanev is a hot name for teams aiming for a deep run.

Tanev's experience and grit make him a valuable asset for any team heading into the postseason.

Despite already being 34 years old, Tanev is expected to command a significant return in the trade market, and Oilers GM Ken Holland must be ready to meet the Flames' price.

Tanev is set to become a free agent at the season's end, and his contract includes a 10-team no-trade clause. It remains uncertain if Edmonton is on that list or if Tanev would consider waiving it for this opportunity to play with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
