Id still be good with tarasenko for up to 3 years. Would solidify some depth and allow us to not feel rushed to bring kemell in

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Seems like Tarasenko wants to be in NY and there's no realistic way that happens and he's throwing a bit of a tantrum over it. Would not want to be the place he "settles" for when he wants to be elsewhere.

Not me, I give him 1 year and that's it. I can always find another fill in the next season if I think I need too.

Exactly. Guess what buddy, no New York team has the Cap space for you. Firing your agent isn't going to magically give them the Cap space.

Oh, now you're ok to take $5M from us to spin your wheels until you get your next chance to go to New York? Take a hike.

So what's with New York? Lots of Russian hookers?

Supposedly his wife is a fashion model who needs to be based in NY (or Paris but they don’t have a team yet).

There's also a fairly concentrated community of Russians in Brighton Beach.

The language arizona is using in the tweet is a little ominous

Yeah will be interesting to see what the cause is.

Preds should claim him on waivers.

Then terminate him again 3 days later, breaking their own record for "shortest period of holding Galchenyuk's rights".

Whats the current record for "days without incident" at the Yotes club?

Joel Ward hired as an assistant in Vegas

I'm guessing he got a better offer overseas but could also be something bad

It does not seem that way, not a mutual termination. It could still have been as tame as failing a condition for a physical or something routine like that. But then the followups refer to "an off ice situation" also?

REAL rough summer

REAL rough summer

The resisting part has my interest. I wonder if he could show up on an episode of Cops

 

[BigFatCat999]

REAL rough summer

That's...a deportation...

EDIT: if he was born in another country

 

[Kat Predator]

REAL rough summer

He should fire his agent.

 

[hockey diva]

Wasn’t he a first round pick?

I hope he gets some help, he obviously needs some.

3rd overall.

He's American. Heck, he played on Team USA in the World Championships just last year.

What I want to know is if he was driving a golf cart when he did all that.

It was actually a Zamboni

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

It could not have been. If he did all that driving a Zamboni, I'd probably give him a raise instead of terminating his contract? You can't buy that kind of publicity and CHARACTER.
