Wait you don't think Christmas turkey springs into existence after Thanksgiving??? /grin and no it's not as funny as I thought it'd be.
Rumor: Tarasenko

That’s an odd statement re. Gold. It’s fine to not like him, that’s simply an opinion, but to think he doesn’t have connections with the Canes is … well, that doesn’t make any sense.
The new agent could have Bob Sugar'd the old agent. Not really a conspiracy theory, more of a mission statement.
His interviews with Dundon seem to indicate they’re actually buddies and not just colleagues.
Maybe but he doubled down on digging and sharing his "intel," which was literally nothing. He only said there was no contract in place in an effort to refute Shayna, even though that's not what she even tweeted. It wasn't until later that a Devils beat writer claimed an agreement had been signed. He was being territorial and pissy.

They are buddies in a professional capacity, I'm sure, but I kinda doubt they're actual buddies.
TD has grown into the public part of team ownership. Remember how stilted he was speaking publicly when he first bought the team? He's a smart guy who figured out that doing interviews was part of the deal. And smart enough to feed the public just enough and to use it to promote his agenda.
Plus, it's not like AG is throwing gotchas at him...

Damn this fell off faster than rouble.
I thought his post was an informal PSA for our fans who tend to go a bit overboard about rumors or the idea of landing a big fish. I didn't see anything pissy but more of a word of caution and guidance to temper the expectations. I do think he is an option that the org uses to drop certain hints on things when they don't wish to comment on them directly - at certain points or in some cases, ever. It's a common PR practice.

I think we're probably out here. sometimes, agents get fired for not being fully transparent about the offers their client has gotten. I think the agent change goes well against the incumbent favorite to sign him under previous representation. I would say that about anyone
blackhawks sign taresenko 1 year and 7AAV with a pretty big signing bonus (3.5) and then trade him 50% retained to CAR for phillys 2nd with a 5th going back. CAR gets him in 1.75 real dollars and 3.5AAV.

That would be unprecedented.
That actually reads like some sort of obscure federal crime, though I admire your earnest attempt at cap circumvention
its basically the same as the hawks did last year with Domi, but in this case we trade him now not at the trade deadline. the only thing I can find is you cannot trade back to a team that traded you for a year. delango issue that is going on right now with carolina.
It's an interesting idea at legal selling of cap space. But I think Tarasenko is looking for longer term than 1 year right now, and I think someone will give it to him. Maybe Ottawa as a DeBrincat backfill.
No, because Tarasenko has never actually played here, let alone within the past year.
TDA is only being held up because he was traded <1 year ago.
That said, the possible contract being signed with Carolina could lead to a collusion investigation by the league.

I don't think it is cap circumvention. Three-way trades are done all the time where the inbetweener team takes a considerable amount of cap hit for a player immediately flipped away with retention. I think the idea is that the inbetweener team knows how to charge properly of such service according to their needs (in picks and prospects for an undergoing rebuild, for example).
Why Deangelo trade got under scrutiny was that in a way Canes gave away a player they already had and now are taking him back with salary retained. Transfer of players is ok, but you can't transfer a player and then do a takebacksy on the same player just for the apparent purpose that some of his legitimate cap hit disappears en route.

It doesn't make sense if he's going to cost 6+
They need a Tatar type, not an older offensive player that has had a lot of injuries and is worse defensively than DeBrincat...
They currently have $9,170,953 with only 8 forwards signed. Greig ($863,333) will be there, Pinto is RFA and will be there (2.0?) so that's 10
They can't even afford Tarasenko

When you're a good work husband, she hits on you.
Mine used to bring me homecooked meals and kept telling me what she liked...it was literally as I'm in the car moving to NYC as she was planning to move to CO that I figured out what she had been unsubtly pursuing. Me.
She was a former Disney princess too, super adorable. Oh well...

Men are stupid, stupid, stupid creatures. I talked myself out of some ridiculous opportunities when I was younger. Alas.

The worst is when the guy after you isn’t so stupid.
