I can see why some teams on the cusp like Buffalo or Ottawa would covet a guy like Tanev to be a veteran presence.

It’s the way I see this playing out also. Kinda a combo of what Nashville did and what Vancouver did to acquire Miller and hronek. It’s not what I would do. I would do full rebuild, but absolutely nothing that has been said or rumoured suggests they will go that path. Hopefully their plan works.
