As the NHL trade deadline approaches, players are starting to discuss potential contract negotiations more openly. One such player is newly acquired Dallas Stars defenseman Chris Tanev, who might be seeking more than what some consider his market value.
Fans seem to have mixed opinions on Tanev's demands. While his current salary cap hit is $4.5 million, some believe that, at 34 years old, he may not be worth the higher price tag.
While Tanev's future with the Stars remains uncertain, it's unclear he will be a clear rental or whether he decides to sign with his new team. Only time will reveal if he secures another contract at the level he desires.
