They're interested in OEL also? Berube and Tocchet are buddies and Tocchet jettisoned OEL because he wouldn't block shots. I do think Toronto's getting Zadorov though. He's got the right mental makeup to handle that media insanity and his suit choices could give them another fashion icon to add to their Matthews sartorial obsession.
If they go long term with Tanev, they just squeak in under the 35+ contract rule--if he's 34 when he signs it, they can still buy him out down the road. Might be nice for him to be closer to his parents, but it would also be hilarious if Ottawa pulls off the rumoured plans to sign both Tanev brothers after Toronto traded for his rights.
