Tanev (hip) is considered day-to-day and won't play Thursday against the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old blueliner's injury isn't believed to be overly serious, so he could return to the lineup as soon as Saturday against Pittsburgh. Alex Biega will take Tanev's spot in the lineup against Arizona.

Tanev notched one assist in a 3-2 overtime win Thursday against the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old Canadian now has three assists on the season, his most recent helper having led to Tuesday's OT winner. Not known as a heavy point producer, Tanev holds little fantasy value and should be ignored in virtually all formats.

Tanev is on the trade block in Vancouver, Rick Dhaliwal of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's no surprise the Canucks wish to move Tanev's contract, which will pay him $4.45 million for each of the next two seasons. Tanev hasn't lived up to the expectations those numbers dictate, as he hasn't posted over 20 points in any of the first three seasons of this contract. The Canucks are $22.2 million below the salary cap, but the departure of Tanev's contract would allow them to make multiple offers to high-end players to replace the Sedin twins by complementing young studs Brock Boeser and Bo Harvat

Tanev (knee) is likely to be retained by the Canucks, Rick Dhaliwal of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
"We are not looking to move Chris Tanev," said Canucks GM Jim Benning. The 28-year-old defenseman has been with the team for the first eight years of his career, so there's obviously a sense of loyalty between the two sides. Tanev's 2017-18 campaign was cut short by his knee injury, but he was impressive in limited action, having accumulated 11 points, 21 hits and 70 blocked shots to complement a plus-7 rating through 42 games. Vancouver should be able to keep him until his contract expires following the 2019-20 season.

Tanev (knee) will be healthy in around three weeks.
EDGE Analysis
One of the elder statesmen of Vancouver's defensive corps, Tanev missed four different stretches of at least seven games this season, suiting up for just 42 contests. While on the ice, Tanev provided the steady play that has come to be expected of him, and with 11 points, he produced at a rate that was similar to his career average. Despite being an effective player on the ice, Tanev's skillset and lack of power-play time on ice prevent him from being a viable fantasy option.

Tanev will miss the rest of the season with his knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
We've reached the point in the season where teams with lost playoff hopes will start being more open about injuries to their regulars. Tanev's campaign comes to a close after the defenseman added two goals, nine assists and 70 blocked shots over 42 games. This news isn't likely to cause a stir in the fantasy realm, but Vancouver's netminders will undoubtedly miss Tanev.

Tanev (knee) will not play Sunday and has no timetable for his return.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev has just 11 points in 42 games this season, so this shouldn't be too meaningful in standard leagues. The 28-year-old blueliner has played just four games without registering a point since his 17-game absence with an undisclosed injury.

Tanev (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup Saturday against the Sharks, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Ben Hutton missing Saturday's matchup due to a foot infection, Tanev will logically replace him in the lineup. Although he doesn't partake on the power play, Tanev has supplied the Canucks (two goals, nine assists) over 38 games this season. Still, his fantasy impact is limited mostly to deep leagues and daily lineups.
