Yeah too bad, seems like a good guy who just couldn’t figure it out here. Good luck Tanner!I'm a Jeannot fan, sucks to see him go without getting some redemption, but I get it.
I think he'll "rebound" in the west and with LA. He just wasn't a fit here. We moved the heavy game and were left with him. Just didn't mesh at all. The pressure of going for 5 picks and high expectations probably didn't help at all.Overpay at the TDL aside, I never really seen much out of him to think he'd be anything more than a bottom 4 enforcer. Got the exact same thing out of Chaffee except for the pugilism.
Different player than his 1st year in Nashville.

I'm happy with the trade. Glad to see Brisebois hasn't lost the plot in all this.
I think rather than thinking why he wasn't that player here, we should ask why he was that player for one year. Remember he already had 50-something games in Nashville after that season with very poor production.Different player than his 1st year in Nashville.

Imo, until proven otherwise, he's a 4th liner who had an insane fluke season.
Like the Finnish flash said above, he probably had an outlier season. Something to prove, right place right time. He's a commodity because he potted 20. When you look at those goals, he stole XP from Pavelski for tip ins and hit some Killorn wristers from afar. I think he'll settle at a 10 goal guy that brings the pain and not much else. His skating can't be masked. He has to learn how to use those stone hands on the boards.Perhaps. I just watch the 20g Jeannot season replay on youtube and it's like, "who the f*** is this guy?"
Guy was a bull in a china shop, here he seemed completely lost. Maybe injuries? IDK. He had the look of an up and coming power forward at one point.
And not having to add anything to trade him as wellProps to JBB for admitting his mistake and getting this done when the chance was there.

Ya I don’t get it he had absolutely no scoring touch here could fight and hit and that’s itPerhaps. I just watch the 20g Jeannot season replay on youtube and it's like, "who the f*** is this guy?"

While a good indicator, that doesn't always translate.his juniors point totals were
5, 33, 52, 80
everything about his career before and after that season showed the type of player he was
i'll just never understand how smart people can be so wrong
