He had received interest from at least three other teams, including the San Jose Sharks
, Ottawa Senators

of the American Hockey League
(AHL), he scored his first professional goal against the Rochester Americans

pushed him head-first into the end-boards. While recovering from the upper-body injury, he was returned to the Moose on April 7, as several regular defencemen were set to return to the Canucks lineup from injury, as well. Averaging 13 minutes of ice time per game over 29 NHL contests with one assist, Tanev was commended by Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault for being "very dependable...making the high-percentage plays."

were both injured. Tanev was inserted into the lineup for the following game, making his NHL playoff
debut on May 22, 2011. As the Canucks moved on to the Stanley Cup Finals
against the Boston Bruins
, Ehrhoff and Rome returned to action, temporarily sending Tanev back to the sidelines. Following injuries to Dan Hamhuis
and Rome's suspension, Tanev played in the final three contests of the series, which the Canucks lost in seven games.

. After dressing for three of the team's first five games, he was re-assigned to the Chicago Wolves
, Vancouver's new AHL affiliate (the Moose were relocated to St. John's, Newfoundland, after the Winnipeg Jets
returned to the NHL). Vigneault explained that the organization wanted Tanev receiving more ice time than he was while competing for the "No. 5 to No. 8 spots on [the] team."
. An unagressive player, Tanev relies primarily on his positioning to check players. Following his performance in Game 5 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals
, teammate Kevin Bieksa
