A trade between the Red Wings and Seattle Kraken accelerates for Brandon Tanev
Recent news claims Detroit is interested in taking an NHL veteran under their Red Wings with his placement on the trade board, days before the deadline.
A 500-game veteran's name has been floating around social media as of late, as his organization looks as though they're in desperate need for a trade.
Brandon Tanev, a left winger for the Seattle Kraken is seemingly available with an incredible offer.
«Hearing that the Kraken are willing to eat 50 percent on
Brandon Tanev's $3.5M cap hit to help facilitate a deal. Which makes sense. Strong interest from both Cup contenders and bubble teams in the pending UFA winger.»
This is where the Red Wings come into play.
As the trade deadline race continues, Detroit has held a current cap space of $13 million, leaving the team with more than enough room for a new and improved player to take this team to a new extreme.
Brandon Tanev might just be the guy the Red Wings organization needs
With a total of 59 games played this 2024/25 season thus far, and a whopping 532 throughout the duration of his career, this veteran might just bring this organization the knowledge they need to elevate their overall strength and success.
However, the Detroit Red Wings general manager, Steve Yzerman, is heavily known for keeping quiet until his moves are completed, but by the looks of it, Tanev is a strong competitor with a huge fan base and would be worth bringing into the Red Wings' roster, but only time will tell.
«If he's gone, it was a great run. Nobody on the roster worked harder than Brandon Tanev. Megaprops to Turbo.»
With unbelievable heart and drive portrayed by this 33-year old, and Seattle willing to retain 50% of his cap hit in order to make a trade happen, Detroit would be crazy to discard this opportunity.
But will Steve Yzerman hop on this incredible offer?
