Not even remotely close. And this is not the law - what one GM does is not precedent setting.

I enjoy the "They didn't take him for free!" argument, as if there wasn't a certain 24 year old defenceman also available.

That package isn't worth tarasenko let alone a retention

As an innocent bystander, and taking the Leafs out of the equation here (Or not, if they actually attempt to get him), I'm curious to see what the return ends up being on him. I certainly wouldn't be blowing my prospect wad to get a guy that's only played 34 games in the past 2 seasons.

Are there comparable trades out there? Tarasenko, when healthy, is a beast, but there's a whole bunch of question marks there that could end up making a GM look like a total fool.

Honestly, I'd say "what's Dunn worth, then take off 5-10%".

By the way Seattle paid 21+ million dollars for each of those picks

Lol

Holy over pay Batman. As the leafs I wouldn't pay that

The Blues aren't going to retain half of Tarasenko's salary just to take on all of Toronto's dead weight. They are up against the Cap and need to resign Robert Thomas.

This isn't even possible.
