Quoting: BenjaminWalder
Seattle would take blueger
they won't get the chance. Tanev will be left unprotected. Seattle will not take him. He's having a career year. They won't bite.
Seattle will have a choice of McCann, ZAR or Matheson. They will not select ZAR, he's a good player but he's not the kind of guy you take. He's a 4th liner kind of guy.
McCann or Matheson will be their choices. Matheson is having a better year.
McCann struggling isn't going to help Seattle pick him. He's still young, he has upside. But that is a 3 mil contract for the next 2 years for a guy that hasn't played like a 3 mil player in some time.
I know everyone here hates on Matheson. But you got to take the best player available or the move that's best for the team.
If they don't want to take on cap they take ZAR. If they don't care about the cap and want the best player they take Matheson.
