I’m not taking a shot at Tanev, but at 34 he is the wrong player to bring in at this stage via trade.
It’s such a bad idea that I actually think they will do it.m

Ottawa already tried to do the Richards and Carter moves by trading futures for Debrincat and Chychrun.
I mean Ottawa is a cautionary tale for those that want the tankbuild. I think Ottawa has a bunch of high end young guys but are still a trash team. Embracing losing makes flipping the switch to winning difficult.
