so the leafs top 4 is who?rielly,brodie and mccabe,who else.im telling you tree wants tanev,and yes hes the perfect fit.it makes perfect sense.especially if cgy has to eat half tanevs salary.
I dont know yet. We will see who ends up in Free agency this year. Dumba, Tanev, Hannifin, Skeje, Pesce, Montour, Hronek, Gostisbehere, Dillon, Zadorov, Edmundson, Roy, Demelo, Lyubushkin, Walker, Fabbro, OEL... the list goes on. This is a very good stock of free agents D men this year. By the time next season starts, i see the D looking more like Rielly- Pesce McCabe-Brodie Liljegren-Gio. Then at NEXT years trade deadline, IF the team is working out well and things look good from the FWD group, THEN you make a move. Move Gio to the 7 hole. Drop Brodie to the third pair with Liljegren. And find a good new partner for McCabe. Like a Tanev. But trading for him now does nothing. This D corps is more than 1 player away from success. If you make that trade now, it doesn't change this seasons out. Then what if Nylander walks? Or Domi and Bertuzzi and Gregor walk? Then what? Now your FWD group is in shambles and the assets you threw away on Tanev were for nothing.
