Full details of Leafs Chris Tanev's contract are finally revealed
Chris Tanev has been linked to the Toronto Maple Leafs since Brad Treliving arrived, and now the former Flames GM has got his man once again.
Chris Tanev, signed 6x$4.5M by TOR, is a high-end defence-first veteran defenceman who combines stabilizing play in his own end with excellent puck-moving skill. Sacrifices the body to block shots and plays through pain. Was terrific in the 2024 playoffs. #LeafsForever
After some time, the Toronto Maple Leafs have now officially inked a deal with 34-year old veteran defenseman Chris Tanev, a major boost to their struggling blue line. Now, NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman has revealed the details of his new contract, and it's safe to say that Tanev will be quite happy with the AAV.

The contract will carry Tanev through to his 40's, as well as having a full no-movement clause throughout, something that Maple Leafs fans haven't been a huge fan of in recent times. Still, it's a major boost for Toronto, who now land one of the NHL's premier shutdown defenders, and if he can stay healthy for the next few years, he'll be a huge pickup for a team that is once again chasing a Stanley Cup.
