I think Brodie was leaving regardless.

Tanev is fine. I'm okay with it, actually more than okay now knowing that he has a limited NTC and can be exposed to expansion. So I dont get the guffaw here.

Theres still a lot of work to be done. They have to figure out if its gonna be worth going to arb for Mangi. If its a contentious negotiation I can see Tree going nope not two years in a row of this and trade him for another RFA.

As for ppl thinking they need one more D man to sign, I disagree. Its time to sink or swim for the kids. Adjust accordingly throughout the season. Its just time. Enough half measures of bottom pairing vets.

I still would like to see some work done to the top 6 FW group as well, but that requires a lot of cap management.
