Media Release - Chris Tanev has been recalled from the Chicago Wolves of the AHL. #Canucks
If you watched last year's Stanley Cup Finals, you are probably acquainted with Tanev. The poised, young defender registered 12 assists in 25 games in the AHL.
After a scary hit in a game on Sunday against the Toronto Marlies, Canucks’ top defence prospect Chris Tanev has been cleared to play and may return to the Chicago Wolves lineup on Thursday when Abbotsford visits.
Tanev's status is a relief for the team's brass as he is the first call up from Chicago. With Keith Ballard and Aaron Rome already hurt, we could see the youngster back in Vancouver shortly.
Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks President and General Manager Mike Gillis announced today that the Canucks have assigned defenceman Chris Tanev to the AHL Chicago Wolves.
Tanev loses all of his immediate fantasy hockey value with this demotion.
