Confirmed Signing with Link: [SEA/PIT] Kraken select Brandon Tanev

[DesertPenguin]

Tanev and McCann out clears cap. Zucker and Pettersson are available for trade, presumably (though with 2 Ws out already, I probably keep him another year).

Hextall is going to have ammo in the UFA market if he wants to remake the team to his liking and the kids are going to have spots available if they are ready. Given the recent lack of playoff success, that might be a good thing.

 

[Canadian Game]

Something to keep in mind, there could be a trade in the background as well. Especially if it’s surprising Seattle took the contract. Trades supposed to be announced tonight

I like Brandon Tanev a lot. Especially for an expansion team.

Speedy and feisty, can never go wrong with that combo.

You can when it comes with 4 years at 3.5 million for a 30 year old.

From the looks of things they’re barely drafting the required min. cap

Besides, i have a hard time seeing Tanev not still being a faster than the average skater any time soon

He plays the type of game that erodes quickly. I dunno. GL Seattle.

 

[KrisLeturnover]

Will miss him but not the contract.



Regardless, my profile pic lives on.

 

[Son Goku]

**** I didn’t want them to take him. Damn you Seattle it’s war now

 

[Son Goku]

Really would suck to see him go as a pens fan. People complain about his contract, but he was worth every penny. Always showed up, always played hard and had underrated skill

My thoughts are this and I’m a pens fan

 

[ChrisKuuuunitz]

I liked Turbo, the guy is menace and hits a bunch, but his hands are never there. He would score 20 goals if he could get stick on puck sometimes.

Tanev is also rocking the road jersey along with Eberle, so we can certainly pencil him into the final roster.

Someone put his headshot on a kraken t-shirt

 

[llamateizer]

That was nice from Tanev. interesting to see him in person

 

[K Fleur]

Love the player hate the contract.

He’ll be a fan favorite instantly in Seattle.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Good bye.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Fan favorite

Over zucker?

No GM in their right mind woukd have taken zucker off the pens hands......I predicted tanev or pettersen going a few weeks ago.....the only grit the pens had is gone , softest team currently in the NHL

...... I raise you the Maple Leafs, who are about to lose both Bogosian and Hyman. The remainder of the leafs sleep with night lights.

Maybe when the leafs and Penguins meet and players gets frustrated, the refs will throw pillows onto the ice to encourage players to let off some steam and fight it out

 

[jetsforever]

Pittsburgh escaped that weird contract

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

This man is officially a Krackhead

Leafs lose nothing off their roster for the expansion draft. Penguins lose 2 top 9 forwards. Point leafs ...leafs have the best goal scorer in the NHL. Point leafs ... leafs have more forward depth...point leafs ... leafs fleeced penguins twice in recent deals..leafs have better playoff goaltending...TJ brodie is a better defender than any any penguin D not named dumo... penguins stuck with zucker...simmonds has more grit than the whole penguin bottom 6 combined ...your gonna need to try harder ..both teams soft , penguins are softer

Hahhaha you understand zuckers value is alot lower than when the penguins traded for him right??? What do you expect to get back ??? Pettersson as well. These are marginal players who bring back well marginal returns. The penguins biggest prize would have been Zack Hyman but it appears he is leaving for the west coast. The extra cap spent will be spent on a goalie and will have little effect of the skating roster . Dubas fleeced hextall for McCann who really had more trade value than pettersen. He could have easily got a D for him yet it cost them 2 forwards and their only asset is a prospect and cap space that needs to spent to fill a gaping hole created by your goalies poor play....the free agent they wanted left for the west coast.....after the draft, one must ask themselves what team has suffering the most and with the exception of the champion tamap bay lightning its the Pittsburgh penguins.

 

[deakka]

Pens were always gonna lose a player to Seattle. So you can look at it as they were losing McCann to Seattle and traded Tanev for Hållander and a 7th.

And thats bit too bad. Pens, like a lot of teams, need to cut salary due to the flat cap. And Tanev at 3m+ is a luxury for a 4th line player the pens can't afford atm.

Yeah, that pretty much nails it. The only relief is the contract being gone when he might've been on IR alot towards the end.

Other than that, the Pens lost a guy who was all heart and brought it every shift. At a time when the org needs so many more guys like that. Hands of stone or not, he played with a huge heart, and I'm going to miss him.

Good luck, Turbo. Hope Seattle enjoys him.
