The Utah Mammoth have reportedly signed winger Brandon Tanev to a three-year deal worth $2.5 million annually.<\/p>\n
Tanev, 33, is a veteran forward who split last season between the Seattle Kraken and the Winnipeg Jets after being traded at the deadline for a second-round pick.<\/p>\n

His new salary is $1 million less than his previous deal.<\/p>\n
Tanev is perhaps best known among casual hockey fans for his unique headshots at the start of each season. He\u2019s a character guy who will bring just as much off the ice as he brings on it.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got some bang in his game, and that\u2019s what we love about him,\u201d said general manager Bill Armstrong in a press conference Tuesday afternoon. \u201cHe\u2019s got determination. He wants to make a difference physically. He can kill some penalties. He can play on your second, third line, he can get out there and give you some energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 79 games last season, Tanev scored 10 goals and 22 points. He\u2019s the younger brother of Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev.<\/p>\n
