Pretty much. I suspect the Leafs had to beat out a 6Mx4 price point. The extra 3M saw him choosing Toronto and allowed for the AAV to get down to 4.5M.What I want to know is why we had to offer Tanev $27m to play here. The guy is a good player, but if we're going to get ~3 years out of him, we had to pay him 9m per? The circumvention is besides the point, we had to give him $27m???
It's expensive and there is risk, but still one of the better UFA's signed over the summer. Building through free agency is tough.
