I like that you laugh. It only makes you look more foolish to be that overconfident on something you clearly know nothing about. So let's save this so I can laugh when the Sens get a 2nd for him.
You're also oversimplifying what he brings. He's on pace for 23 goals. Previously to his trade to the Rangers, Tarasenko was coveted for his goal-scoring. Being on pace for 23G/59 points, is not worth a 1st.
lol "
something you clearly know nothing about"... I have been watching closely every single NHL trade for 30+ years.
Tarasenko got traded for a 1st and a 3rd not even a year ago and guess what? He had exactly the same stats, 29 pts in 38 games at that moment, difference is he was -18 instead of +12 and had 1 less goal than this season.
It's laughable to think that no team is going to pony more than a 2nd round pick for a proven player like Tarasenko when they're trying to gear up for the playoffs.
Players traded for a 2nd round pick last deadline : Nino Niederreiter (had 28 pts in 56 games), Lars Eller (had 16 pts in 60 games), Mikael Granlund (had 36 pts in 58 games), Jordan Greenway (had 7 pts in 45 games)
We could do this for every deadline
Stop acting like you know more than others and call them foolish, homers, delusional, etc because you see things in your own biased ways.
