We’ll break down the trades of today’s busy NHL pre-trade deadline day with a focus on the Ottawa Senators giving up Tarasenko for basically nothing. All that and more on today’s NHL video!

  1. At THIS PRICE, why on Earth could the Rangers not have gotten Tarasenko, in place of Wennberg???????????🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

  2. I played a game or two in that arena. Thanks for putting the Metro Centre in the background.

  3. The Devils version of this title got you 321K views. Might as well try it with Ottawa. (NB: Nobody is laughing at Ottawa.)

  4. I couldnt wait to see the Twitter flood of all the inbred Ottawa fans who were chirping the Habs and the Leafs as soon as Ottawa looked like they were on the rise.

    Oh boy how karma comes fast. Thats another year their captain wont make it to a playoff 😂 i think its what? 10+ years since they’ve done anything? I really dont understand how any Sens fan talks crap about ANY other team than themselves.

  5. Yeah I’m not sure. Thanks to the league Ottawa isn’t competing for a few years anyway. I don’t see the harm in shifting a one year no trade player who we were never gonna get to keep for draft capital. Until the league takes it from us or something. We should try and begin developing prospects and trying to see if we can find a diamond in the rough (and for the love of god a goalie) to build up around. Until then build up the war chest

  6. If the Tarasenko trade happened an hour before the deadline, it'd be fine. But you still had a couple of days to see if Florida would up the offer even a little, or see if the player would consider another team to chase a cup rather than being "stuck" with Ottawa until the end of the year. That's what makes it a bad move to me. The one resource you had in the deal was time, and you squandered it. I can't imagine the offer would have got worse, and even IF the deal fell through entirely would you really miss what you did get in the trade? Hell, I think just having him play out the season with your young core would be better for the team than the return they got.

    If they'd showed some patience and played hardball I think they could have at a minimum got a 2nd round pick. Even that still would have been less than what similar players have gone for. I'm not a Sens fan, but I understand why a lot of them would be pissed at this. Florida had more to lose if this trade didn't happen than Ottawa did, Sens should have waited.

  7. Nonsense. The NHL is not laughing at a GM who had no leverage in sending a player anywhere other than to where he went. GM extracted what he could. Florida isn't flush with picks anymore. You also might have mentioned the Sean Walker to Colorado, since you mentioned Byram for Mittlestadt. Walker has been great for Philly this year, taking tough defensive assignements and and is a big reason they are sitting in a playoff spot. Guy has been continuously underestimated, even when he was Drew Doughty's partner before he blew out his knee in October of 21. There was a legit question as to whether Walker would be able to come back from that severe of an injury. Guy made a statement this season. His skating is beautiful, and he'll fit in really well in Colorado.

  8. If Ottawa kept Tarasenko until trade deadline Ottawa could have got more or just not made any trade. Pressure would have been more on Tarasenko and other teams. Ottawa was better gambling than getting what they got.

  9. I’m intrigued. Been looking for healthy ramen options since the Costco tonkatsu, while delicious, is laden with sodium and calories.

  10. He has a full no trade clause. They either trade him to where he wants to go and take what they can get. Or, keep him and get nothing at all, even though their season is already wasted. Easy choice. Ottawa did the right thing. As for retaining salary, so what? It has zero cap implications on their future. $670k is half of his salary remaining this year. They essentially SAVED the other $670K that FLA will now pay and also got third and fourth round picks. Also helped their tank giving them a better shot at Celebrini.

  11. Shout out Vite Ramen they are an awesome company. Super nice owners. Early adopter of Overwatch esports, cool to see them getting into sports media too.

  12. I never heard of Vite Ramen, but I do love noodles especially top ramen, here in a few weeks I get disability benefits as SSI finally has deemed me 100% disabled after a 19 year long war with them. And I will definitely be trying out Vite Ramen. I will try all their flavors and let you all know what I think. The biggest reason why I like too ramen is because it’s easy to make and being disabled I am limited a lot on what I can make by myself. And healthy foods are not an option for me because I can’t do everything to make healthy foods, so I’ll take a healthier version of ramen as I don’t exactly eat healthy

  13. I can’t imagine the return being much better maybe turn the 4th into another 3rd. You said it yourself, he had all the cards, the retain aspect is redundant as he’s a ufa in the summer. Ottawa didn’t give anything up to get him last year either. Underwhelming but not embarrassing.

  14. anyone that thinks this was a stupid deal, has no idea what they are talking about. the Sen's got 2 picks and half their money back (he already played 60% of the season) for a player that had an NTC and was going to walk for nothing.

  15. If I was Staios, I would have told Florida “Yeah I know Tarastinko only wants to be traded to Florida and you think you have the upper hand to lowball me BUT I could just not trade him at all and your chances to win the cup decreases without him, so either make me a fair offer or take your chances winning the cup without TaraStinko”

  16. Get ready, Rob Blake of the Kings is about to put Ottowa to shame in the shame department. He has gotten fleeced pretty much every trade since the Fiala trade. He has been letting assets go for pennies.

  17. American sunbelt &/or low tax states just basically have a massive advantage. It’s not a level playing field. It is what it is.

  18. it is floridas scummy gm…he stifarmed staos……if bedard only wanted to be traded to toronto…and chicago was only offered a 3rd round pick…what would you thing of the toronto gm…?

  19. That Sens front office should look at other teams and take advice from other Franchises on how a re build should be done. This team been in re build mode forever it seems. The Florida Panthers front office took the meat directly off the bone with that Trade with Ottawa
