We aren’t 1 Tanev away from being cup competitive. There will be a lot of similar D signing cheaper and shorter deals
I would rather have an 80% of Tanev for less money and less term and focus on strengthening other positions as well

I agree there are bargain d-men in UFA right now. But it is looking increasingly likely that Treliving isn't going to be able to shore up other positions through free agency. A Hall contract is going to require them to move a big name and I suspect the returns there aren't good enough to warrant the move. That leaves who? Hoffman?
I'm not a Treliving fan, but I also can't ignore his options. He wasn't going to get Pietrangelo or Krug. Have to assess these moves on what's realistic given his position.
