Skinner also only had 1 year left on his deal, which affected his return.
Tarasenko has a lot of term left.
I understand it's not easy but I don't think you trade someone just because his NTC is about to kick in unless you know for sure they're not in your long-term plans. We are certainly not at that point yet with Tarasenko I don't think. That's just bad business and would probably lead to a poor return in itself.
I think Shattenkirk was a very unique situation. Rarely do you see a player that is dead set on signing with their childhood favorite team and nobody else really.
I doubt there'd only be one team Tarasenko would be willing to go to.
I agree. I would not be looking to trade Tarasenko. I would want to see how he responds to the next coach.
Just saying those clauses most definitely do constrain you and limit your abilities to negiotiate effective returns.
