Flames trade defenceman Chris Tanev to Stars for prospect, draft picks in 3-team deal

The Calgary Flames traded defenceman Chris Tanev to the Dallas Stars for prospect Artem Grushnikov, a 2024 second-round draft pick and a conditional 2026 third-round pick.

The deal announced Wednesday happened with some financial lubricant from the New Jersey Devils.

Calgary retained 50 per cent of Tanev's salary, while New Jersey agreed to cover half of his remaining salary this season.

The 34-year-old is scheduled for unrestricted free agency this summer.

To obtain the Stars' fourth-round pick in 2026, the Devils agreed to kick in money for Tanev's contract and also traded to Dallas via Calgary the rights to unsigned drafted goalie Cole Brady currently playing for the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.

Chris Tanev, you are a Dallas Star.
