Tanev isn't available, according to multiple sources. He's been injured for a little while now and he's still young for Vancouver. I highly doubt they'd move him, but even if they were going to, I don't think the Leafs would move any of their new core and I think people can agree that the Hall for Larsson trade is a bad benchmark for a top four defense-men trade since Larsson - Although Larsson is decent - isn't worth Hall. That's not my opinion, you can look at different articles that feel the same way. I think Tanev is a great defender and I'd love to see him in a Leafs uniform, but I don't think the Leafs are willing to pay with their core yet, especially since we don't know what this lower body injury has been or what it could do to the longevity of his career, and I don't think Vancouver is ready to move him before they move a player like Edler.
IMO, though, this trade might be a pretty decent one. I don't think Carrick is going anywhere yet because the right hand pipeline is lacking but they might be willing to move from him. Maybe throwing in a third round pick would even it out more for the people who think he's worth more? I think it's a good deal. Hard one for me to make but a good one.
