In the first paragraph under Winnipeg Jets, can you mention he played in three games. It currently reads like he just made his debut. This could likely be added in the contract sentence.

- ALT1: ... that Brandon Tanev claims to have seen a ghost while his head shot was being taken for the Pittsburgh Penguins? Source: Tanev’s headshot with the Penguins, in which he has a frightened expression, went viral at the end of training camp last season. Once it gained national attention, he told reporters in Pittsburgh, “I did actually see a ghost. It was walking behind the gentleman that was taking our pictures. It kind of caught me off guard. I haven’t seen one of those things yet. It was pretty rare to see that. That’s why I had that facial expression.”
