Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDO cast. My name's Detra Filipovich. And joining me, he's my good buddy,

Shane Agoleman. Shane, what's going on?

Hey, thanks for having me.

So here's the plan for today. We're going to do the belated Vladimir Tarasenko trade breakdown.

I know what happened five days ago. It feels like it's been an eternity now at this point with all the other trade rumors that are circulating around the NHL.

But, you know, we've had the benefit, I guess, of seeing him and seeing the Rangers in their new look formation with two games so far under their belts.

And I knew I wanted to do this breakdown with you.

So I was like, all right, I got to book Shana for the PDO cast.

I'm going to wait until then.

So I apologize to all the listeners who have been waiting patiently for it. But you know what? I don't know about you, but I like this trade

because, you know, Teresenko in terms of his name brand value and it involving the Rangers is going to,

like that connection is going to gather a lot of the sort of like interest

or headlines for this trade.

But for me, I actually think there's a couple other layers to it that are interesting,

especially from the Rangers perspective in terms of how their lineup shakes out now, that

go beneath the surface.

And that's what I love deals like this, right?

Where it's not just like, all right, there's one player involved.

It's kind of like the trickle down effect for it.

So hopefully today we're going to be able to get to all that and provide some context.

But I don't know, what were your initial impressions when this trade broke last week?
