Confirmed with Link: NYR/STL - Tarasenko to NYR

[Raspewtin]

I think Mikkola sucks a big one but we got a guy who's still a top line RW at 50% for a non-prospect, negative value in Blais, and a 1st/4th

Good trade. The idea we were just gonna add a 4th liner or two was fantasy.

 

[LOFIN]

ah, it's on the main board
Tarasenko 50% retained, Mikkola <---> 1st, 4th, Blais, Skinner
how do we not do this trade?

I think it's good value, and fills exactly the needs we had. Obviously expecting they are retaining the better 1st rounder.

 

[Daves a mess]

I won't lie....that lineup looks so much better now.lets go to war indeed

The hole on RW prior to this move was fn HUGE.

 

[Gardner McKay]

I don't know that they've solved anything yet but yeah, they've made the attempt.

Glad that Drury watched leshitshow and Harpur try their hardest to lose the game yesterday and was like "yeah, no... Enough of this."

NGL. Leshitshow is one of the best nick names this board has ever created.

What’s most enjoyable about this trade is knowing how many stupid media guys were mentioning Kakko and Lafreniere as returns for Patrick Kane. Yes I am looking at you John Scott. But you weren’t the only one.

We need a wellness check on @EdJovanovski

 

[haohmaru]

It’s a fair trade for both sides. Hopefully bread and tank have chemistry and we hoist some hardware in June.

 

[nyr2k2]

I mean just adding Tarasenko is big, but if he's able to spark something with Panarin, it could be enormous.

We also upgraded Harpur.

Addressed two areas of need in one move, basically for a first. For me it's hard to dislike.

I dont see Sammy Blais having much value in the market. Same with Skinner. So it's basically a late first + 4th for retained Tarry + Mikkola. Not bad.

Funnily I joked that Skinner might be trade bait a week ago

 

[BBKers]

Panarin Zibanejad Tarasenko
Laf Chytil Kakko
Kreider Trocheck Bjugstad
Goodrow Watson Vesey

Kravtsov

We are not done either. More to come.

 

[mas0764]

really thought we could get it done without using our 1sts.... guess not.

We have to stop giving up firsts now.

This is how you get old fast.

STOP GIVING UP FIRSTS FOR RENTALS.

No more.

Cause we are going to be in the same position next year (non-elite playoff team).

Still might add a 4th liner or two

 

[Machinehead]

I like this.

Price was less than I thought.

Mikkola has to be the worst offensive player in the league but he can keep his head above water defensively. It's an upgrade.

This was good for us.

 

[Leonardo87]

I'm going to say that Kravtsov ends up going to Chicago for Lafferty.

Wouldn’t mind Kravtsov getting a chance in Anaheim , have several young players who could use chance of scenery like Comtois. Who is a healthy scratch for next game.

It's a lot more ok when you still have a 1st in reserve. Not like we won't pick in the 1st round this year

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

really thought we could get it done without using our 1sts.... guess not.

I mean you give up one of the firsts but you keep all of you valuable prospects. I'm sure that was the choice right there, maybe it was either give us one of the 1sts or we want one of Othmann, Sykora, BMB, Berard, Jones, Kravtsov etc.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Will Troch be off the top unit now?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Value is fine. Always wanted Tarasenko so that’s cool

Also somewhat miserable that we traded a top line RW for 30 games of Tarasenko, Copp and Mikkola lol

if this leads to a cup though I’ll stop complaining

Kudos!

 

[mas0764]

At least they didn't Kane. They got the other washed up RW. They got another D who isn't very good. Upgrade over Harpur.

People going on about this like Tarasenko is a 70-80 point player.

He's on pace for like, what, a 52 point season this year? 62 if he was healthy?

For a guy we have no hope of re-signing.

 

[RangerBoy]

CONDITIONAL

 

[will1066]

Tarasenko alone should be > all of last year's rentals combined

 

[Raspewtin]

no and he shouldn't be
