Tanev had 1g and 1a in 10 playoff games with the Pens
More importantly he got neutered in both series. He had the big goal in Game 3, but aside from that he got dunked just like McCann.

With talk like that, you're on the fast track to the Pittsburgh Penguins' front office!I just have no idea what the plan is for this team.
Jared McCann isn't f***ing Sidney Crosby
Jared McCann is a nobody, he's a pimple on Crosby's ass. To compare him to Crosby is just insulting towards Crosby. McCann's a nobody who's on his 5th team by age 25 (although I feel disingenuous including the Leafs here).
I just have no idea what the plan is for this team.
Don't be disingenuous. You know that I wasn't comparing Tanev and Crosby.
My point was that the team has looked like ass in the playoffs for several consecutive years, including the leaders. So to say, "well we can't keep [Player X] because they have sucked in the playoffs," is poor logic because by that logic we should also be getting rid of Sid/Geno.
Jared McCann is not a nobody. He's a cost controlled guy in his mid-20s who is finally realizing his potential. Hell, I'm not losing any sleep about trading him. I'm just failing to understand why would go out of our way to trade him only to *also* lose McCann when we could have just lost one of them.
1. Get rid of the shit JR left this team at
2. Balance winning now with also building for the future
3. Get tougher
Currently, I don't see them building anything.
Maybe that's because the off-season hasn't even started yet and they've made a grand total of 2 moves so far.

I'm talking about a lot more than this week, take it easy. I don't like the direction the team has taken for some time now.
I'm so confused why people are so upset.
Hextall has made a grand total of 5 moves as Penguins GM so far:
1. Claim Friedman
2. Trade for Carter
3. Re-sign Blueger
4. Trade McCann
5. Expansion draft
Again, have some patience. We literally haven't even hit the first off-season with Hextall yet.
I'm not upset, I'm just not sure what the plan is. Why are you guys so confrontational?
The plan is we were going to lose McCann for nothing so we got an asset for him.
We were always going to lose someone to the ED. Would you have rather lost Carter / Blueger or Tanev to ED?

I don't like moving Mccann and Tanev. None of these moves help the Penguins win in the future, and the way the roster is being built, it isn't going to win now either.
I think some people are saying they would have preferred to lose just McCann for nothing over losing both McCann and Tanev for a 7th rd pick and Hallander.The plan is we were going to lose McCann for nothing so we got an asset for him.

You're by definition comparing Tanev/McCann to Crosby/Malkin by making this statement.
Crosby and Malkin get a boatload more rope for struggling. McCann and Tanev are freaking 3rd liners.
