Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun · Follow Ottawa retains 50 percent on Tarasenko in the trade with Florida. Going to Ottawa from Florida: 2024 4th RD pick (which becomes 2026 3rd RD pick if Panthers win Cup) 2025 3rd Rd pick What the fuck was Drury doing for this to go down!!!
Totally agree, that does not seem like a lot, a 4th and 3rd (which could maybe be two 3rd's but only if FLA wins the Cup). Drury better have something big cooking to add at least two players to this team, otherwise he can get out after this season, and we need a Pres/GM that can actually do the job. Panthers look good, and that Atlantic bracket is going to be a battle. I look forward to facing the beaten-up winner in the ECF.
Yeah, thats not a ridiculous price to pay, although he is a UFA after this season so if they don't win the Cup or resign him it's not great.
Well, so far so good now it’s our turn we will pull off something nobody thought Go rangers f tarasenko, did shit for us
The trade kinda sets the market....anyone with a non-expiring contract is gonna be pretty pricey between picks/prospects.
How I see it, giving up a 4th and a 3rd for a guy like Tarasenko is an absolute steal for trade DL prices. No 1st round pick, no 2nd round pick, and Ottawa ate 50% of his money. That is normally a 1st round pick in return, but not even a 2nd.
He wasn't the issue, not adding some grit and toughness was the issue. Tarasenko played well. With that said, not adding him isn't the end of the world, assuming Drury gets some other trades done.
Henrique to the Oilers for their 2023 first-round pick and a 2025 conditional fifth-round pick to Anaheim, one that becomes a fourth-rounder if the Oilers win the Stanley Cup this season. The Oilers also received a 7th-round pick from the Ducks. *EDIT - Sam Carrick, a C also included w/ Henrique.
Yeah, I didnt have him on my list of targets for the Rangers...He seems to me to be the type of player who would show up for the Rangers and do absolutely nothing for them. Im sure my opinion of him is tainted by his prior Devils association...
Prices are absurd. Thus why I said Jones for a guy like Sturm to give Jones a chance to play. Eberle which shouldn't cost more than a 3rd and a middle of the road prospect. Tarasenko to me is a player that needs to be the focal point of his line. Not what the Rangers need. They need some guy to quietly fit in with dipshit Zibanejad. Tarasenko's price was cheap but there is baggage with him. I still think Berard is going to get the call.
Glad Henrique gone too… he scored a lot on us , doesn’t mean he’d score for us .. still waitin , c mon drury pull that rabbit out
Prices are not absurd; they are normal for the trade DL. Do people think this is abnormal? This is BAU, and Henrique going for a 1st is not crazy. Tarasenko was a steal IMO with no 1st and no 2nd in the deal. We'll see what Drury does, but other teams will get better, and already have started to, and either Drury needs to improve the team clearly, or sell.
Tarasenko publicly said he felt the panthers were his best chance of winning, so let’s assume he felt the same when he came to us.. That’s a plus for us
I feel like Drury is the Rangers version of Cashman. Thinks he’s the smartest man in the room and will sit around and trade for trash and think it’ll be a difference or will trade away the future for an over the hill player. Let’s see if he proves me right or wrong.
Tarasenko wasn’t the problem last year. When we got him initially he was a GREAT piece. Then the moron Drury traded for an injured Kane and THAT is what fucked this team up. I said when the trade happened it was unnecessary and wouldn’t help but certain posters said that if Kane wants to be here you take him. That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard in my life still. Kane played the Rangers and made us a worse team. Still hate that trade. We were such a better team without Kane.
