Tree has had a pretty solid off-season, but I think he made the exact same mistake with Tanev that he did with Neal and with Brouwer. Hoping I’m wrong.
I’m not that crotchety towards Tree as a whole, what I am crotchety towards is the weather is changing and my elbow is sore and I have a headache and I’m getting old and some fans are really underrating Andrew Mangiapane.

The difference between the Neal/Brouwer signings and the Tanev signing is that those two were brought in to be top 6 scoring forwards and neither guy could score anymore.
Tanev has been brought in to be a top 4 defensive defenseman. I don't foresee him being unable to fulfill that expectation.
