Josh Tessler: Hey Justin, I need you to do a write-up on the Brandon Tanev signing in Pittsburgh.
Me: Sure, I really like Tanev. He is a fantastic penalty-killer with amazing speed. He can really help shore up the bottom 6. What’s the specifics of the contract?
JT: 6 years/ $21M $3.5M AAV
Me: **spits coffee all over my keyboard**
You read that correctly. 6 years for a 27 year old forward that has yet to play 200 games in the NHL. This leaves me to speculate, as to whether or not, Jim Rutherford has worn out his welcome with Pittsburgh Penguins fans.
