Think of the extra $600k as the price we pay for not including draft picks to acquire a flawed, but functional defenseman that fills a much needed role on the team.
Every other D on the team is a good possession player, and every other D has all his teeth.
You can’t have a defence corps that has all its teeth.

And yet, metaphorically, Tanev is the one who gets his face smashed. "Tanev replaces Hamonic, not Brodie" is a condemnation. There is no requirement to have a guy who is useless outside of his own end. Better to have punchers than punchees.
