What I don't get from the GMs and the media, is if they think Tanev is the best D available, how is he not worth a 1st? Same goes for Hanifin. Especially in a year where the draft is relatively weak at a certain point. Add to it good defencemen are seen as the backbone of a winning team, plus the scarcity. I just don't understand how the GMs are not paying the price when all the stars seem to align that this is easily the price that should be paid. In a weak draft year, and in a year where there isn't a lot out there, it should more easily be paid. The whole situation seems bizarre. Sure teams could wait and see, but they risk someone paying the price. I just don't get any of it this year.
