Probably echoing some thoughts in here but I'd give it a solid B+
Goaltending was a need and we addressed it big time. Hard not to complain about that, and from what I've read, signing here means he didn't sign in Edmonton so that's an extra win.
Tanev, I love the addition. A player that addresses a need and shores up the right side. Should do for us what we were hoping Hamonic would. While the contract is about $750k too much and a year too long for my liking, I'll still take it.
Would have liked to see a top 6 forward added but with the salary cap, it was likely a choice between a forward, or Markstrom. Flames decided goaltending was a bigger need and I'm inclined to agree.
