Tarasenko just signed with OTTAWA...?

Vladimir Tarasenko just signed with the Ottawa Senators in a move that honestly surprised me. We'll talk that and more on today's NHL hockey video!

A very good top 6. A much improved and legitimate top 4 defense. Solid goaltending. Worried about depth but I'm excited.

[maekoh]

The sens really do look good going into next season

[jtnauss]

Even as a Toronto fan I think ottawas line uo looks really fun rn. They can have a top 6 of Tkachuk, giroux, teresenko stutzle, Norris, batherson. In no particular order. And the left side on d is stacked enough to bring in a depth forward they'll probably need numbers wise or sign someone and make a a trade to upgrade the right side on d.

So Ottawa basically traded DeBrincat for Kubalik, Tarasenko, Sebrango (a pretty interesting prospect) and a 1st Rounder... pretty nice... pretty nice.

Looking fwd for Ottawa this season. GL

As a leafs fan who lives in ottawa and loves tarasanko, I'm excited

[benderbendingrodriguez]

As a Leafs fan, the battle of Ontario got a little more interesting!

[Redden]

3rd favorite team. hope they do fairly well this season

[teenchy]

Sens fans need some good news once in a while. Hope he helps them get back in the postseason, even if he's not with them in the postseason.

The pick Ottowa traded to St Louis for Rundblad was the pick used on Terasenko. Ottowa just trying to reverse one of the worst trades in history.

[J.A.]

Disappointing but expected. Hope Vladdy does well!

[jamestoop]

Sens are pretty stacked if they can stay healthy. Don't have to run chabot for so many minutes anymore either. If they put some chemistry together they are going to be very difficult for any team to beat. If they keep this core going forward and they're all buying into the system, they're going to be very dominant. They also have a few guys under the radar right now who could potentially be very very good.

[KingCtm]

I really hope the sens can get competitive so I can finally give up on the leafs and jump teams

[JaredLS]

God the Atlantic is going to be a bloodbath this year.

[skotty]

Honestly didn't know you were a Rangers fan, sweet lol

[chemguy]

There has been talk of him going to the Sens since they trade Cat

[bamboograssburned]

This should not surprise you. Ottawa is a great place to revive your career! Look at guys like Kyle Turris, Matt Duchene, or even someone on the tail end stretching it out like Alex Kovalev.

And like you said, if Ottawa has problems they can dump him. The only problem will be if Tarasenko doesn't perform... but he will and Ottawa will win the cup by beating Toronto in the first round.

[ninchubs]

ottawa originally offered 5.5x4 to Tarasenko, sharks offered a 6x1 and canes offered 5.25x1

[westonflus]

Why does this remind me of the Taylor Hall Buffalo deal? LOL

[keithck]

Definitely didn't see that coming.
