Look for Chris Tanev to play alongside Alexander Edler Thursday. His teammates think a lot of the undrafted 23-year-old. "He's a smart player," Kevin Bieksa said. "I see a lot of similarities to Alex Burrows. When he came up, people were saying the same things about him. He wasn't a good enough skater, he didn't have a good enough shot. But he just thinks the game so well. [Tanev] is really smart. He's really high percentage. And really poised. He gets the puck, and he has pressure on him, but he holds on to the puck and he makes the best possible decision every time." While we cannot recommend Tanev in fantasy pools as he has only a goal and three points in 15 games to go with a plus-three rating and six penalty minutes, he does make for a nice story.
