With the playoffs just around the corner, Calgary Flames defenceman Chris Tanev would be a perfect add for any team looking to go on a deep run. Tanev is an on-ice presence to be reckoned with, and takes his game very seriously. One expert believes he's going to end up in a shocking destination before the trade deadline hits.

Daniel Nugent Brown of The Athletic predicts Tanev will end up with the playoff bound Edmonton Oilers, adding an interesting twist to the ongoing Battle of Alberta.

Nugent-Brown added an exchange for Tanev would be the biggest between the two rivals in the NHL's history.

Again, Tanev is exactly the type of player any team wants on their side going into the playoffs. The postseason is an absolute grind and will test the grit of any team that manages to make it. And, the further you go, the more of a grind it gets. The 34-year-old will like fetch a good return on the open market, so Oilers Ken Holland better be prepared to face the asking price if he wants to be involved in negotiations.

Tanev will become a free agent at the end of this season. His current contract does allow him a 10-team no trade list. No word on whether Edmonton is one it, or whether he'd be willing to waive it if it is.
