In order to make this trade, Ottawa would have to get an X-ray of Tarasenko's left shoulder.

Also, he might not waive his NTC for Ottawa.

Dadonov is of no great interest, they are not taking him AND retaining. Pick one or sub something more desirable in there.





1- He's 100%, check with his doctor.
2- You're right about that.

As long as Tarasenko would waive his NTC to come to Ottawa, I'm sure GMPD would accept.

Honestly I would do this trade. When healthy , tarasenko is elite lol

I'd trust a doctor employed by the Ottawa Senators before I'd trust a doctor employed by Tarasenko.

An X-Ray of his left shoulder would do so much for determining his trade value.

"When healthy" is a key phrase here.

Worth noting, Tarasenko's doctor is different than the Blues doctors

If the Blues could somehow package Vova and the 16th overall and get into the top 10 (via LA) then I think they should. Retain salary also to get a young player as well.

That may be, but they both have one thing in common.

They all want to present a clean bill of health to expedite a trade for Tarasenko.

Even if it means whitewashing.



Like I said, an X-ray of Tarasenko's left shoulder is the most effective tool for determining his trade value.

Well the teams involved would get the medical records which include x-rays. Based on his game 4 performance against the Avs, his shoulder seems fine

Are you legit suggesting that these doctors would flat lie about his health? Really?

"What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about"

---- The Hippocratic Oath

Not sure what the point is, but okay.

The Hippocratic Oath is the standard code of ethics for anybody seeking to practice medicine.

It's been around for centuries.

If you ever studied Ancient History in high school, this would have come up.



The quote basically implies that any negative detail about Tarasenko's left shoulder is going to be swept under the rug.



Also, his doctor is based somewhere in the U.S. and Tarasenko dishes out hundreds, if not thousands, for every session.

His doctor is essentially his employee.



If you were Tarasenko and you wanted to be traded to another NHL team ...

What would you tell your doctor to say to every team that is interested in you?

Yes, I know what the hippocratic oath is. Still don;t see the point, because no doctor is going to crash their entire career and open themselves up to lawsuits for this. He's healthy now. Period. Get on board the reality train. May we offer you a complimentary mimosa for your ride?

How kind of you to misconstrue my entire quote.

You're a very honest person

Dude, I still don't even understand how you got from wildly suggesting that the medical report offered by the doctor the other day could be fudged in the favor of "good news" to quoting the Hippocratic oath, but it doesn't matter. There's trades and drafting afoot, a far better use of our minds.

But yet you're still replying to my comments.

Hmm.

(sigh)

You said that I was misconstruing what you said, so it seemed proper to explain that I actually had no idea where you went with that in the first place. Chill.

You literally wrote "blahblah" when quoting me.

If that's not misconstruing what I said, I don't know what is.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
