To BUFFALO:
Chris Tanev
To COLUMBUS:
Michael Anderson
LAK 2nd 2021
Sabres agree. We've experimented with different 3rd pairings on defense and while Heinola shows promise and has been steady, we think he still needs a little more seasoning on the farm (though could feasibly play with Tanev if it comes to it).
Hopefully Tanev will give us a real solid defender that will give us stability on that 3rd pairing. He's an ideal candidate for in-season talks if he continues to play well.
Anderson should be a real solid D in a couple seasons. Fortunately we have plenty of depth in the future department at this position, and ideally, this move will allow us to keep that depth in reserve now, in lieu of using it for pro D upgrades. Thanks Tommy!
