I think Tanev is much better defensively and fits what the Flames needed more...but I’d rather bet on one year of Barrie at $3.75M than 4 years of Tanev @ $4.5M
For the Oilers though it’s funny because the off-season priority was improving defensively and improving goaltending...and they end up with Barrie, Turris, and Smith. That couldn’t be more opposite of what they needed to achieve.
