Yeah, this. Mantha got more than Tarasenko did. So, seems like GMBM struck when he needed too.If tarasenko got mid round picks then mantha was a steal
Where are the haters now??

He didn’t pick FLA persay at all, but he could veto destinations for sure.Tarasenko picked his destination so naturally the return wouldn't be absolutely top notch.
If I were a GM i would only sign players with proven fat cat disease to 1 year deals only. And otherwise avoid them altogether.
@Ridley Simon said GMs already know players when I said sell him as a power forward. Duh. But some GM is going to grossly overpay 'Mo Money Please' this summer with far too many years so we'll see who knows him or not. Book it Danno!
Hockey GMs are often former players. That didn't graduate... high school. Even if they did many heads were punching bags. They aren't all the sharpest knives in the drawer.
I don’t think it impacted value much, if at all.
Uh.. unless I'm missing something, I'll happily take the return we got for Mantha over this!
I think it's with the agents, like McClellan will tell the guy Remember how we put Siegs or Chandler in these great spots because we wanted them to have success, you give us cost certainty now we'll do right by the player. But for rental deals that don't impact the trajectory of players careers, I think they're going for the highest picks.I have long suspected many deals are done with future considerations.... not shared with us, because they are not finite. Throw in a 7th if he plays 80 games. Sure, we will hear about those. Others are... I owe you one, GEORGE.
We all remember McPhee doing deals with the same GMs - others never. St Louis IIRC was one... may help explain that historic Oshie for Shankapotamus fleecing. I remember goalies coming and going.

His first shift with Vegas?
4 minute double minor high sticking.
He’s good at f***ing up his hands while fighting.Let him fight again too.
