I debated several people here that Tarasenko would have been a great signing for the Sabres.
His 13 points and +10 in 14 games in Ottawa might translate well right about now in Buffalo. Better than signing Kane.
I was confused too. First fumble this year, and he only fumbled once last year.
I think it shows how off-kilter McD has become. His judgment in various areas is clouded by uncertainty and pressure.
Seems likely that Ottawa screwing up the Dadonov trade to Vegas and having it subsequently costing them a first round pick was a straw-that-broke-the camel's-back moment for the new Ottawa ownership relative to Dorion, or simply a good catalyst to replace him as they may have wanted to do anyway. Something like that.
No way these two events being announced on the same day are a coincidence.
