From Ottawa's perspective, you make this deal look incredibly stupid for them to make (no offence meant).
You call Dadonov a poor man's Tarasenko, okay fine everyone has their comparisons.. but if he's a slightly lesser version of the player they're getting, is he really that much worse than a guy with untaped potential as you say, a high end offensive prospect, and a very early 2nd? .. I think if there's that serious of injury concerns around Tarasenko then the return wouldn't be this high. It's more likely around Brown and the 2nd, maybe make it a lottery protected 1st. Smaller parts could be negotiated, but this deal as is for Ottawa is still a lateral move. The big return for St.Louis should be the cap space since they have guys that need to be re-signed that will likely cost quite a bit, not the players coming back.
