We got lucky with Stecher and Tanev, not sure we'll be that lucky again. And frankly we need higher quality D-men anyways. We've got enough depth guys and bottom 4 guys already. I was just thinking the same thing. If we have the contract room, fine... whatever. Free prospects. But at the end of the day, we have lots of low to mid pairing guys already. If we want to truly bolster our d (and we do. We MUST), then we need to get high end draft picks in there or trade for high end prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they see what Stecher did, and that motivates them to sign here? And Tanev for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the fact that they've made our roster makes us a better team to sign for. Tanev actually signed with us when we were at our most recent peak, so the odds were against him but also shows players can crack the top rosters given their play and determination.

I feel like a trouba for tanev deal would be fair both players have had bad luck with injury and could both benefit from a scenery change and tanev is more help to jets current playing style imo and flyers could use some forward prospect(s) where there deep on d, I could see a gadj and goldobin or virtanen for sanheim deal going down with our current forward prospect depth I wouldn’t mind seeing both of them trades happening.
