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.
