Tanev underwent core muscle surgery Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign.

Tanev should be ready for training camp in September. His six-year, $27 million contract runs through 2029-30 and comes with a no-movement clause, so it's fair to believe he'll still be a member of the Leafs for the 2026-27 season. The 36-year-old defenseman will complete 2025-26 with two assists, eight shots, two hits and 15 blocks in only 11 appearances.
