Before going crazy on terms with Tarasenko, I think if he had better than that offer, he would have taken it, and the Sens give him the best term taking him to 35. Pinto is a bridge deal to wait for the cap to go up. And the Power play instead of a 1/2 will depend on the opponent - one will shoot a lot and accurately, and the other can move the puck around any team while taking fewer but skilled shots.
I also belive Brannstrom will be used at deadline with Tyler Kleven replacing him at some point to bring in reinforcements for play offs
This would be a legit playoff team with the required spread of wealth for a good run.

Is there any latest rumour on him? Pretty sure Dorion is in waiting mode till Tarasenko decides before doing anything else. Tatar and Pius Suter should be on his list too

Tarasenko isn't getting no 4 year offer from any team, And that AAV needs to be much higher than $3,000,000 per season.

Think it’ll be a 1 year deal. Probably around 4/5m

Are we really at the "random Podcaster makes a tweet = rumour" part of the summer?
