And maybe he addresses the defense and goaltending in the summer. Maybe he trades for someone with term, or someone younger.
All Tre has said over and over again in Toronto was that he wasn't giving up his 1sts and top prospects for rentals and short term solutions. I don't really see a problem with that.
Again, if all Tanev gets you is to Game 6 of the second round, I'd probably just keep the 1st. There are more problems in TO than just getting Tanev. I'd start by breaking up the top 4 forwards on mega contracts and spreading out the depth, something they can address this summer.
