SEATTLE -- Brandon Tanev insists that he didn't take it personally.
That he enjoyed and appreciated the two seasons he spent with the Penguins, and that he still has lots of pals among his former teammates.
Well, they're buddies outside of the three-hour window Monday night when Tanev's new club, the Kraken, will be taking on his old one at Climate Pledge Arena.
"During the game, there are no friends on the ice," he said following Seattle's practice at Kraken Community IcePlex Sunday.
The Penguins exposed -- and lost -- Tanev to Seattle in the expansion draft this summer.
