Rumor: Tarasenko fires agents

[Kranix]

Shayna Goldman was wrong, then?

She was right, until he fired his agent, and erased the etcha-sketch of offers.

So she was wrong. Gotcha.

 

[Kranix]

So she was wrong. Gotcha.

It was being reported by multiple sources that he was signing in Carolina, that the league had been informed of the deal, and his agent at the time was carrying that forward, so she wasn't inaccurate at the time. What's your beef

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Leafs need another winger.

If there was a way it would be awesome but there isn't.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Sure, that was not what you wrote. It was "But they thought they were smarter than everyone else so they didn’t do anything." So they knew they needed to add, swung and missed and decided they didn't need to anything after all? You also fail to acknowledge the Svech injury was post-deadline. You backpeddled into a corner.

Going all in on Meier is not punting regardless of how you want to revise it now. Contradicting your own words isn't a good look. But hey, if you are committed to the self-clowning then you be you.

I’m sorry. Did they trade for someone? No. As yoda said, there is no try only do.

The hate that people are throwing at her in this thread since this tank thing went sideways is very weird. It's like they are so thirsty to be able to throw out she was wrong.

It's a woman in a hockey world.

She can't be right.

 

[tarheelhockey]

No, she was right. She didn’t even say he HAD signed with the Canes, she said it LOOKED LIKE HE WOULD sign with them. That was a true statement.

If you say it’s not rainy when the sun is shining, and the next day a storm rolls through, that doesn’t mean you were wrong.

Agreed with @Forge that there’s a weird energy in here in trying to catch her in a “gotcha” for reporting the same thing everyone else was. David Pagnotta tweeted a video update 4 hours ago giving a much more detailed version of the same report, but not a word of negativity about that. I don’t know what the backstory is between her and a subset of fans, but it‘s odd to see it playing out in this thread.

Pagnotta was wrong on Chychrun to LA and got called for it. Big time.

I know everybody wants to be first to announce something, but when you jump the gun and it burns you, then you have only yourself to blame. Friedman/Dreger said nothing about Tarasenko's final destination, it should have been the tell sign. Takes year to build an insider reputation, but you can lose it fast.

Nothing against her at all, but that is what happens sometimes.

 

[KevinRedkey]

She implied something was a done deal when it wasn't. Her reputation deserves to take a hit it but it's a little harsh to consider her an unreliable source. I have no ill will towards her but I will probably want to double check her next few claims before believing them, that's all. After getting a few more right, it'll be like it never happened.

Technically, Tank could still sign with Carolina and she'd be right BTW. lol

She said, "sounds like Tarasenko will be signing with the Hurricanes." Unless his signature is inked on the paper, is it a done deal? She then retweeted Friedman's tweet saying the process reset after he fired his agent.

Again, several sources reported the same thing. She was one of the several. Why is she the specific person being called out? Especially when what she reported was technically correct -- it did look like Tarasenko was going to end up with Carolina, until he abruptly reversed course and fired his agent.

She implied something was a done deal when it wasn't.

No, she didn't. She reported that it sounded like Tarasenko would end up signing with the Canes. Pagnotta doubled down on that with specifics about the salary range that the Canes had offered, and specifically said that they were negotiating details. Brooks also reported that Carolina was one of several offers on the table.

I don't even know who she is, so I have no dog in the fight. But we had a whole group of reporters making consistent reports on the same thing, and then Tarasenko dramatically re-set the dynamics by switching agents at the last moment. That doesn't make all of those reporters wrong.

A very simple way to read the situation is that the original agent/agency leaked that a deal with Carolina was in the final stages. Of course the agent doesn't know he's going to be fired the next day -- he even reportedly denied the firing after the fact, apparently blindsided by the decision. Was the agent wrong in saying that it looked like he was almost finished with the deal he himself was working on?

Pagnotta's reputation has been boosted lately, but he was notoriously a clickbait artist for years, and deserved to be slammed for some of the shit he tweeted.
I also still subscribe to the notion that unless one of the original insiders tweets it's done deal, it's not safe, but she didn't even state it was a done deal, she echoed what a bunch of other sources (a pool in which more and more people are actually breaking trades in recent years) were saying about it.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Just to chime in, Isles fans still make fun of Dreger to this day for his false report on Sorokin's rights being traded to CHI

 

[KevinRedkey]

Sounds like she was wrong.

According to you, I'm neither implying nor saying she was wrong. Simply stating that's what it sounds like.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Would love to have him but there's no cap space even with Murray and Muzzin out of the picture.

Murray still in the picture. In HD.

Did not follow the whole saga, but I remember Pagnotta saying there was multiple offers on the table, among them Ottawa and Carolina.

Then she tweeted it sounded like he was going to Carolina, and given her recent track record, everybody said it must be true.

Did not hear of anyone saying before here that Carolina was the winning bid before her doing so, but I could be wrong.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Come back to the Rangers for cheap for 1 year and then get paid after, Vlad.

her source probably was someone on his old agent payroll.

many had said he got multiple offers and was mulling thrm over and then later she says he appears to be going to Carolina.

carolina seemed to be the leading candidate with the cap space and being a cup favorite.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

There's some batting average effects here. Higher average, higher expectations. Iginla to Boston in part killed Aaron Ward's Insider career.

The likes of Pagnotta/Garrioch/Brooks throw a lot against the wall. Enough sticks that the rest falls by the wayside.

 

[dirtydanglez]

I rather have Tatar than him

why? tatar is playoff poison.

 

[redfire11]

Seattle

 

[Stickpucker]

Don’t be obtuse. Everyone knows they tried for timo. But I missed the part where after they missed on timo they couldn’t do anything else with all their cap space. They took their puck and went home early. As they do every year in playoffs.

Tell me where the naughty man touched you.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

I'm guessing what happened is- old agent got a bunch of offers, Tarasenko wasn't in love with any of them but liked Carolina's the best- or hated it the least. Then instead of going with Carolina he fired his agent and got a new one who promised he could get better offers

 

[Sparksrus3]

My guess is the Islanders (if they have any cap left). I can see them giving him term.

Lou Lams insists on 7 years . Tank only wants 5 year deal
