Tanev isn’t a cap dump, he’s a valuable 4th liner and great penalty killer

A bit of an overpayment for Murray especially with Detroits picks. Hes worth about a 2nd and a 3rd or to some teams a 1st or maybe 2 2nds

Detroit would just go after a stopgap FA goalie if this is Murray’s price. There is no rush for Detroit in this scenario.

Tanev makes way too much money for the 4th line.

He could be their goalie of the future at only 24. Just a thought.

He’s 26 and what are his demands for his next contract? Why would Detroit pay 2x 2nds and a 3rd for a goalie that just had a down year due to injuries? Could those injuries linger? What leverage does Pitt have with the expansion draft upcoming and a hard cap for the next few years? We need to build out the rest of our team before trying to acquire a goalie through trade.

Not the way he has played the last two years.

easy to fix.
Trades Tanev.
Resigns the mop.
Put always injured Bjugstad at 3rd line
And places slow as hell Horny next to malkin.

Clearly, problems solved.

Tanev was one of the bright spots for the Pens this season. I figure that you didn't watch a single Penguins game this year and just wanted to do a Pittsburgh AGM?
