That has to be part of your argument in justifying your negative opinion of Tanev’s contract.
I’m just saying, if a veteran Hamonic type on a similar contract costs a 1st and two 2nds, and still makes close to $4M, I’m at peace paying a slight premium in UFA to acquire them in lieu of the alternative.

We’re not dealing with an Alzner deal here - we’ve got a solid, if flawed, veteran defenseman on a mid-term contract and all it cost was money we had to spend anyway.

Look at the way this defense is built. Gio, Andersson, Hanifin, Kylington, Valimaki, that group NEEDS a Tanev. They don’t need another show pony.
