Definitely some overreactions in here.
Had to replace Brodie. Tanev came in cheaper than Brodie, is roughly the same age, produced the same number of points last year, and is a bit better defensively.
Canuck fans allegedly were sad about him leaving, just as we were with Brodie.
Is it more than hes worth? Maybe by ~1M (top four players tend to go for this range though). Is it too long? Maybe by a year. But those are the concessions you make in free agency. We plugged a hole with a capable player that will probably at the end of the day be an upgrade on the defensive side from Brodie & Hamonic.
Cool your jets. Calm your bits.
