The Winnipeg Jets would be making a large mistake by letting Brandon Tanev go. Unfortunately, they also would be making a mistake by overpaying him to stay.
He’s a great fit for the team and the kind of depth player the team will suffer from losing. The NHL is big on depth, especially in the playoffs. He provides premium depth at (currently) a non-premium cost.
The Jets have seven true unrestricted free agents (players that were in the lineup at some point) and of them, I could do without Par Lindholm and certainly without the aging (or aged) Matt Hendricks.
