Why would Buffalo do that. Asplund has value to Buffalo and Barbashev was an one hit wonder who already peaked

Whoa whoa whoa, he MIGHT be a one hit wonder. Not yet confirmed lol.

Canes aren’t moving morrow for a rental

Canes aren’t overpaying for Tarasenko. If it was going to happen, it would have happened last off-season, and the Blues would not get anywhere close to that return.

Something of value that can help now or no deal.

The blues wouldn't get anywhere close to a good prospect and a 1st.... what are you even saying lol. Maybe the Canes don't because they don't need him but He just came off an 82 point season with 34 goals.

Clearly you didn’t read how I put it. If a Tarasenko to Carolina trade were to happen, it would have happened last offseason. And because his value was in the toilet at that point, he wouldn’t have gotten anywhere close to what you are proposing.

Clearly I misunderstood because you clearly don't know how to clearly convey a thought through text lmao.

I don’t understand how you can get much clearer than that, but whatever. I guess not comprehending others thoughts through text is a problem with this generation. But hey, everyone has their own quirks.

Glad we cleared that up hahaha
