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.

He just gave half of the top 4 forwards on mega contracts more money and more years. Not saying that was a bad choice, but he didn't do anything about it.
He has one top prospect (Cowan) and four total picks in the Top 4 rounds over the next 3 drafts. Their time to cash in and go for it was this year. I doubt you see their top players have seasons like this again.
