i doubt u get one of the prospects without you adding lmao

Tarasenko getting a first sounds wild to me, but I also said that last year so who knows.

Similar numbers to last year if not slightly better on an arguably worse team team. Good defensive numbers considering where he is in the lineup. I could absolutely see a team give a late first for him (DAL or VGK). Ottawa is also willing to retain 50% as well. Considering what Monohan got, a return worse than that would be a bad start to Staios' tenure. The hinderance is the NTC as it will limit the options and handcuff Staios.

Doubt you'd get Stankoven or Bourque this way but yes, Tarasenko is returning a 1st

Where did this whole Tarasenko to Dallas thing even come from? Dallas is currently the highest scoring team in the league and have pretty massive holes in their defense that need to be addressed before they even look at adding a forward that they don't need. Why would they spend any assets for Tarasenko instead of going after someone like Tanev or Hanifin?

Also, Bourque and Stankoven are off the table here.

1. Dadonov is out long-term.

2. Because Tanev and Hanifin might cost more.

If it were Duchene, or Robertson, or Johnston, etc. then I'd be more inclined to try and add a forward. I like Dadonov, but he was not a major offensive contributor in Dallas' top-9. Shoot, Sam Steel is almost producing at the same rate as Dadonov. It just doesn't seem worth it for Dallas to use a 1st Round Pick (or equal value) to replace a 3rd line forward when they can either slot in someone like Steel to that role or simply just use Stankoven/Bourque to fill that role.

Tanev should not cost MORE than Tarasenko either. Hanifin, very likely would (and should), but it would also be more worth it for Dallas in the long run. Shoot, if I'm making a deal with Ottawa, Chychrun is probably at the top of my list, given my needs. If I'm Dallas and I'm okay moving some of the assets you have listed here then I'm not going for a middle-6 winger. I want a true top-4 defenseman like Chychrun.

If Dallas is looking at Ottawa it's probably Chychrun, not Vladdy. And Chychrun is the only way they'd be able to land one of Stankoven/Bourque. If they're moving him, I'd rather them go for one of them who can contribute soon than a late 1st who needs 3+ years to develop

Yeah I have thought this before, Chychrun might make sense for Dallas. He was never really the right target for Ottawa. They need a physical RHD and 2-way wingers to replace Tarasenko and Kubalik

What can you propose?
