Tanev signed a three-year, $7.5 million contract with Utah on Tuesday, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

The Mammoth have a plethora of skill in the top six, so it's not surprising they wanted to add more grit to the bottom half of the lineup in the form of Tanev. The 33-year-old winger recorded 10 goals, 22 points, 168 hits, 105 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 79 regular-season outings with Seattle and Winnipeg this past season.

Tanev logged an assist and six hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev snapped a five-game slump with the helper. The 33-year-old continues to operate on the Jets' fourth line, so his offense is likely to be limited barring injuries to other forwards. He's at 22 points, 95 shots on net, 164 hits, 103 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 76 appearances between the Jets and the Kraken this season.

Tanev notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev has a goal and three assists over his last seven outings. That's all of his offense in 10 contests since he was dealt to the Jets at the trade deadline. When accounting for his time with the Kraken earlier in the season, the winger is at 21 points, 92 shots on net, 142 hits, 98 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 70 appearances. He remains in a fourth-line role.

Tanev scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

This was Tanev's first goal since he was traded to the Jets by the Kraken. He took some time to settle back in with the team that gave him his NHL debut in 2015-16, but he's picked up three points over his last four outings. He's added a little more oomph to the fourth line since the trade. The heavy-hitting winger has 20 points, 89 shots on net, 137 hits and a minus-9 rating over 67 appearances this season, making this his fourth campaign to reach the 20-point mark.

Tanev notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

This was Tanev's second helper in the last three games. The 33-year-old winger looks to be settling in on the Jets' fourth line after filling a similar role -- albeit with more ice time -- during his time with the Kraken this season. He's at 19 points, 89 shots on net, 136 hits, 95 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 66 appearances. Tanev can help fantasy managers chasing hits, and he adds a strong number of blocks for a forward, but his offense is likely to remain fairly limited.

Tanev notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev picked up his first helper in four contests since the Jets acquired him from the Kraken. The 33-year-old winger has slotted into a fourth-line role, and his ice time per game is down by more than three minutes from what he was seeing with the Kraken. Tanev will likely take the reduced role since it comes with playing for a competitor. For the season, he has 18 points, 87 shots on net, 132 hits, 95 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 64 appearances.

Tanev, who missed Thursday's 5-3 loss to Nashville for roster management purposes, was acquired by Winnipeg from Seattle on Friday in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick, per Darren Dreger of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev has nine goals, 17 points, 122 hits and 91 blocks in 60 appearances in 2024-25. Although he doesn't do a lot offensively, his physicality is sure to be appreciated by the Jets during the playoffs. Tanev is expected to be utilized in a bottom-six capacity.

Tanev won't be in the lineup against the Predators on Thursday for roster management, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Tanev is bogged down in a seven-game pointless streak, he should still be an intriguing trade piece around the league. The speedy winger plays a physical style and is solid on the penalty kill, attributes that never go out of style. Wherever he lands, the 33-year-old Toronto native figures to slot into a bottom-six role.

Tanev produced an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev has a point in each of the last two contests after snapping a nine-game slump. The winger set up Chandler Stephenson's game-tying goal late in the third period. The 33-year-old Tanev is at 17 points -- surpassing his 66-game total from 2023-24 -- and he's added 74 shots on net, 111 hits, 86 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 53 appearances in 2024-25.

Tanev scored a goal, added two hits and blocked three shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev snapped a nine-game point drought with his third-period tally that brought the Kraken back within a goal. The 33-year-old winger has struggled to get much offense going from the fourth line this season, though he's doing better than he did in 2023-24. He's at nine goals and 16 points through 52 outings, matching his point total from 66 outings last season. Tanev has added 74 shots on net, 109 hits, 85 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating. His 85 blocks are most among all NHL forwards, nine ahead of Sabres two-way star Alex Tuch.
