When you give 30 year old Tanev his 6 mil contract remember that before last year he averaged 50 games a year exactly for the previous three years.

In his 10 year stay he has played 514 out of 820 games. Averages 51 games a year over 10 year span.

Lottery pick.

lol with Hughes/Pettersson here now you won't be seeing a lottery pick for awhile. Get over it.

He's part of the apprenticeship program. So many players owe him for getting a shot or more ice time. Stecher is one of them for example. Will Rafferty or Rathbone be next?

I am sure the contract talks between his agent and Chis Gear will include the clause that he needs to get injured 30 games a year so prospects can get time in the NHL.

I am sure that is a standard clause in most contracts.

They will be if they use 4 players from Utica to fill out the defense.

There is another way to look at his injuries from past years.

lol Sarcasm in support of your post was the point. The added was until there is a better alternative we all know someone will get a limited role of a shot to prove what they got.

It would be awesome if that money could attract someone better but who? The prospects at best ease into a bottom pair role.

Play in gymnasiums & save $$$’s lol

RHD Depth isn’t great til a signing(s) occurs..

Tanev UFA
Myers
Stetcher RFA
Rafferty AHL
Woo AHL

Tryamkin RFA
Benn
- both can play the right side

I’d resign Tanev 3/5.5m
Trade Stetcher
Tryamkin I’m undecided with e-draft looming

Easy. Make a trade or sign a free agent or pick up some one on waivers. No problem.

I don't know why fans are unwilling to try something else. I like Stechers passion but he is an undersized player who averages 18 points a year. He doesn't have a good shot and I think he has average speed. If he does come back I hope it is as a 1 mil 6/7 guy.

Tanev I just quoted how many games a year he misses . He has had a very good contract year

Which UFA can play 22+ minutes and defend well that you would sign?

He had a very good last 5 years, he just happened to stay healthy this year.

so move out your best two defenders and hope for the best, back to a top5 pick we go!

Too bad the season isn't 50 games . We would be in the playoffs every year .
