i thought hitch coached teams only played defence...

they do

i think someone forgot to tell the kid that

i was being sarcastic.

tarasenko's not the only one.

I know they really have no correlation but watching this kid tear shit up makes me excited for when Kuznetsov finally makes his way over. Wish I had both now.

In the spring of 2011 I traded my Tarasenko, Ryan Johansen, Jake Allen and a first round pick that ended up as Malcolm Subban to get Nicklas Backstrom, Shane Doan and a pick that got me Jakob Silfverberg. I know it's been almost two years and I wouldn't want to reverse the trade because of how good Backstrom and Doan are and Silfverberg most likely will be... but damn it would be nice to still have Tarasenko

Anxious to see if the kid gets a shot in the shoot out and if so what he does.

Yes he does look better than Brown offensively. And I;m not complaining, I have him on my team. But it's still too early to judge either way. These Ruskies like to tease.

While I think he will be better, it's not been proven that he is as of yet.

Our draft is 12 guys, 10 rounds. So that's 120 players that are taken. We already protect 5 players, so that's another 60 gone.

I got Tarasenko with the 120th pick of the draft. Funny, he will more than likely be one of my best players this year.
