nice

 

[Afterburner]

Jets sign Brandon Tanev to one-year contract

 

[Derfel]

Good value!

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Rocket skates!

Good for him. Not a huge fan, but I actually don't mind Tanev as the obligatory try hard glue guy. He can play a bit.

 

[Saintb]

Tanev seems to be gradually improving. I like the guy.

 

[Jets4Life]

I love it. Good work, Chevy.

 

[Afterburner]

I like him. He's got grit and determination. He surprises me sometimes with his moves, and I think it's a good contract

 

[puck stoppa]

Dominos might fall quicker now that he knows the Trouba number. I still see a Jmo bridge.

 

[kittiecarlyle]

He is contrary to most of the opinions on here a while back, improving.

Adds some elements that are quite beneficial for the Jets. Solid deal that helps.

Ya, he had a good year on that line. They were effective all season.

I do as well and believe it is the right move to bridge him unless the number would greatly favour the Jets and I doubt that is happening.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Not as bad an overpay as I was expecting.

This means the Jets have ~5.5 million left to sign Morrissey long term.

 

[kittiecarlyle]

Ya, he had a good year on that line. They were effective all season.

He really did and the mesh of Lowry Copp and Tanev was a key element. As they say the sum is greater than the parts at times and this is an example I believe.

He can play either wing and that helps as we are more loaded at LW than RW , like how he is effective in on the forecheck overall but especially with that line. Enables Lowry and Copp to cycle the puck extremely well.

 

[bustamente]

Nothing wrong with that contract Tanev is a useful player as long as you don't depend on him for more than he is capable of doing.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

But is it time to panic yet?

 

[Flair Hay]

Pretty much what I expected

 

[surixon]

150 k over my projection of 1 million. If he plays like he did last year then it will be decent value.

 

[blues10]

Small overpay but he has shown improvement each season. He’s no Tim Stapleton but he has a role.

 

[10Ducky10]

Would have liked to see a 2 year deal as he is an UFA after this deal.

 

[DJBiffWPG]

Too much money but at least it's only 1 year.

 

[DJBiffWPG]

If you can lock Morrissey up long term on a decent number you absolutely must do that.

 

[kittiecarlyle]

But is it time to panic yet?

Why wait till spring, Do it now.

 

[kittiecarlyle]

If you can lock Morrissey up long term on a decent number you absolutely must do that.

Decent is ambiguous, under 6 for 8? sure. But a bridge helps as dollars are needed for current players and if a player becomes available that would be a challenge otherwise to fit in, it leaves options open.

Unlike Trouba, I don't think a bridge deal precludes a long term deal with Morrissey. Key is if it is faourable or not for the Jets imo.

He's going to Florida.
