Unrestricted free agent Chris Tanev has signed a four year deal with the Calgary Flames, according to multiple reports, the first of which came from <a href="https://twitter.com/DhaliwalSports/status/1314759662038773760">TSN1040&#8217;s Rick Dhaliwal</a>.

The full breakdown of the deal isn&#8217;t known at this point, but Tanev will be joining forces with Jacob Markstrom in Calgary, as the goaltender signed a 6 year deal worth $36 million earlier today.
The Canucks&#8217; <a href="https://twitter.com/DhaliwalSports/status/1314759938351132747">reportedly</a> offered Tanev a two-year deal in the $4 million range.
When Canucks general manager Jim Benning spoke to media this afternoon, he said that Tanev planned to sleep on it and make the Canucks aware of his decision by Saturday morning. It now appears as though Tanev had an afternoon nap before coming to a decision this evening.
