My list also included Aulie. Apparently it was a crime when Sutter gave him up. Now that he's progressing nicely, he's not worth a 3rd round pick anymore?

I can't see Tanev ever being a top 4 guys since he struggles with the minutes he is getting now. It isn't just the 2nd pick it is the stupid contract you give up as well.
Aulie was bad when Sutter gave him up and is still slow as molasses and a bad defender at the NHL level. I wouldn't want him here as a UFA let alone giving him a stupid contract and giving something up for him.
