I agree that Tanev has been ineffective BUT he is not an expiring UFA. Also, if there is any plan to trade him this offseason, healthy scratching him will definitely impact the return.
My guess is Tanev is still dealing with injuries. But if he is, then just put him on the shelf for the rest of the year and let him recover. Parts of roster management always confuse me but without knowing what is coming down from Francis to Hakstol, it is hard to know who the real dick is.
