<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawkisles</b></div><div>I feel like I’m in the minority of Isles fans here, but this isn’t a hard pass for me. For me, it’d depend on whether or not Tarasenko is willing to extend at a reasonable price. If he comes extended anywhere around 6m aav, I’d do this trade. Bailey’s contract isn’t worth his production, and giving up a 1st and a 2nd to switch out a bad contract for a good one (Odelius is behind an LHD logjam and Newkirk is a depth prospect for sure) is worth it to me.

Now, my guess is Tarasenko does NOT extend at that low of a price (though given his age and injury history, that’s what I think he’d be worth), so without that favorable extension, I don’t do this deal. But I do think there’s something to this deal.</div></div>

I'd rather keep Odelus and swap in Salo, but I don't really see the need for Leivo and I'm not a big fan of sending out *another* 1st round pick. It's the type of trade where I'd roll my eyes and go "predictable Lou" but if VT would be open to signing a shorter-term, higher AAV contract that doesn't kill the cap I don't think I'd lose sleep over it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawkisles</b></div><div>I’ve heard rumors that those two might be on the move, but my impression was that would depend on if they were in the playoff picture by the TDL. Though if I’m wearing and the Isles can pull this off, no complaints here. I know St. Louis fans will object, especially after seeing what Horvat got.</div></div>

I think the similarities between Horvat and Tarasenko end at they are both UFAs this year. Horvat is younger, healthier, and plays a premium position. He also had zero trade protection which allowed VAN to shop offers for what they thought was the best return. Tarasenko has a full NTC and everything else I just mentioned going against him. I think this trade is pretty fair for STL if they are landing Wahlstrom as the centerpiece. Tarasenko's return should rightfully be less than Horvat's
