This is laughably bad for the Senators, they couldn't even pry a decent prospect out of Florida. I get that the trade protection on Tarasenkos deal allowed him to dictate where he went, but that doesn't change the fact that this trade is horrible. For crying out loud, Anthony Mantha cost the Knights more than this.

This is highway robbery for the Panthers who add another lethal offensive weapon to their already loaded forward group. At only 2.5m, he is going to be extremely valuable. If they want to buy more, they easily could (granted they don't have the money). This was a masterclass of a trade from Zito and a complete blunder by Staios

Considering how many posts there were saying Tarrasenko was gonna get Ottawa a first, easy win for the Panthers.

This will be the biggest fleece job of this year's TDL.

Fleeced

You can lock the thread, this is all that needs to be said.

Sell the team!

Comically bad trade. The Senators should've considered just not moving Tarasenko at all if they were wedged into this kind of return.

Florida wins though I feel bad for Ottawa, they've been shafted so much this year, Pinto suspension, losing a first due to Dadonov shenanigans and now Senko only waiving for 1 team has cost you a chance to get significantly better assets

On one hand the return is terrible, but on the other the Sens did what they wanted: Turned money into futures without having to spend futures of their own. The return is just not what they were looking for, so still a landslide win for the cats.

At this point you just let him walk for free. Hilarious.

Huh??? Was there really no better offers than this?

For Tarasenko half retained, this is embarrassing ngl…

Easy Florida win Ottawa had no leverage

Stop the vote! First unanimous fleece in a long time.

There are always cheap wingers...

Did OTT not see what Mantha got?

Why would you trade Tarasenko for so little return on Wednesday, when you can wait 2 days and maybe see the market shift in your favor? Its not like Ottawa was going to get less for him on Friday...just an epically stupid trade by Ottawa. And frankly, Vegas is also a loser here, given they gave up more for Mantha...

lol

Lol.. yeah Ottawa is cooked - this is a disgusting trade for Ottawa and a beautiful acquisition for Florida.

Vladimir wasn’t even demanding to leave - and this is what Staios trades him for????

Even considering OTT had little leverage this still a steal for Florida

Wow...a 4th seems standard to retain salary (50%) for the rest of the season...so that's a 3rd for Tarasenko. Yeah, with a condition that improves the 4th to a 3rd in 2025, but also make the other 3rd pick the worst in the round.

Unless Tarasenko said I will waive for no one but the Cats, this was down-right awful for the Sens.

The guy had a NTC. He wrote his own ticket out of town. That's why it's bad for GM's to hand them out like candy. Handcuffs them. Good for him and Florida though.

Ok, who is lying to themself saying ottawa won this?

Wait that's not a first round pick! And 2 of you accidentally hit Senators for who won, you meant to hit Panthers.

This is bad even by Dorion's low standards... Ottawa will never be a serious club.
