Confirmed with Link: Penguins sign Tanev for way too long and way too much

[Gurglesons]

Are you against the Tanev signing?

Ha.

I just don’t get why it’s okay to say Tanev is going to have a Hagelin like effect, but you’re against the signing or out to lunch by saying we could have easily just signed Kuhnhackl for 6 years at 3.5.

I would never say that about any such depth player

Someone has to be good cop

Just as long as its not you, right?

 

[Tom Hanks]

Tbf, there was a bunch of whining about Hagelin's contract, and he also happened to be a possession king who made our best players startlingly better, which makes things very easy to forgive.

Plus the hair.

I thought that was just @Clare2904

My favourite gif combo in the GDT’s (was a big fan of Hags and @Peat mentions part of the reason why, he was just a pressure king too. No easy outs of our o zone when he’s on the ice).

I think she felt a little attacked one day and she had enough.
We'll miss her dearly.

Oh man is she really gone. I forgot to mention where is she as haven’t seen her on here in a while. Must of happened while I was offline for quite a while. She actually emailed me to see if I was ok. Such a good heart. All the best to her if she ever checks in here @DegenX

Are you really French Canadian? You don’t have the stereotypical personality of a male French Canadian. You’re too level headed. I’ve met and lived with quite a few. All great people but they seem to have the temperamental edge like Letang does. Some I’ve lived with go way beyond what we know of Letang’s personality

Before DeGen left they asked me about you during your hiatus. I told her you probably were so content once you got me to have a JJ av your time here was done.

Awww .

I really want you to change it. It’s disturbing now

Brandon Tanev And The Myth of Needing To Be Active on July 1

Relative to the rest of the league over the last 3 seasons, their shooting, penalties taken, and percentage of team shots at even strength aren’t very different. On the defensive side of things, ZAR is a machine, making teams a negative overall Threat.

Offensively, he’s a standout too, finding himself on the positive side of the Threat Analysis, leaving Tanev in the dust.

Things were slightly different for ZAR this season in terms of what he saw with his teammates relative to the league. It should be noted that his Threat analysis, though negative, is still better than that of Tanev's

Moreover, the Penguins with ZAR on the ice still generated more from higher danger areas of the ice compared to the rest of the league while Tanev did not. Location (and the red color) is key here.

 

[Turin]

Tanev is massively improved from when he first entered the league, so taking into account his first seasons, especially his first, is not telling you who the Penguins are getting.

 

[CrosbyMalkin]

Ha.

I just don’t get why it’s okay to say Tanev is going to have a Hagelin like effect, but you’re against the signing or out to lunch by saying we could have easily just signed Kuhnhackl for 6 years at 3.5.

How are you even seriously comparing Tanev to Kuhnhackle.

I don’t know if you are trolling us all just to get off or you are serious. I hope it is the first just for your sake. These are the kind of posts that used to get me in trouble a decade ago. That post just got you blocked to save my sanity.

Tanev and Kuhnhackl basically have been in the league during the same ages and have a difference of 3 career points in a span of +/- 9 games.

Kuhnhackl for the majority of his time in Pitt played largely more defensive oriented minutes than Tanev.

Obviously the career arc are different, but acting like they are light years apart is also a little disingenuous.

Yeah but Das Kuhn is more like a Jay Pandalpho and Tanev is a Hagelin\ Talbot mix.

Tanev pushes back with tempo and speed like Kuhn never could.

Let’s give the guy a chance here. By year 4 this contract will look very reasonable as the cap and salaries go up so if we need to ship him it shouldn’t be an issue.

Yes. She certainly helped from the women's angle to keep things real around here.

Same, hope all is well @DegenX. Hope family life isn't too hectic.

Go to 2:30 @Tom Hanks

Was JR betting / planning on the cap increasing with the new tv deal?

 

[Fordy]

just look at the playoffs. zar has never done shit to make me think he deserved to be in a playoff lineup, but tanev has. he's done quite a bit actually

 

[Riptide]

Her family is more important. Up side is we got @Scandale du Jour as a Mod

But is that really an "upside" ??

 

[Clare2904]

But is that really an "upside" ??

For me, YES!

Chucky - Malkin - Bjugstad
Tanev - TB - Horny
Simon - Mccann - Rust

I'd like to see something like this to start the season.

not sure how bug's will fit with geno. rust/tanev might be much better fits.

There are a few different potential major influxes coming up... the TVDeal is one of them... also the next expansion and sports teams may be getting a cut of now legal sports gambling...

I believe people used the “we can ship him out” argument when we signed Johnson. You might be able to ship him out but at what cost?

I’m sick of this team signing free agents to horrible deals.

I don’t like McCann on the fourth line. Bjugstad kind of sucks, so I’d prefer to keep him in the bottom six.

Bjugstad kind of sucks? HFBoards in a nutshell, my goodness.
