Tarasenko signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Senators on Thursday ending his brief time with the Blue Shirts. And with that, Vladimir Tarasenko’s tenure with the Rangers is over at least for now. Tarasenko, 31, split the 2022-23 season with the St. Louis Blues and the Rangers. New York acquired the right winger on Feb. 9 in a trade for Sammy Blais, Hunter Skinner, a conditional first-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2024 draft. The Rangers also received Niko Mikkola in the deal. A four-time All-Star, Tarasenko finished last season with 50 points (18 goals, 32 assists), which included 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) while with the Rangers. Tarasenko’s acquisition was to bolster the Rangers’ chances at making it to the Stanley Cup Finals but the team was eliminated by the Devils in the first round. In that seven-game series, Tarasenko registered four points (three goals, one assist). After the Rangers’ season was over, Tarasenko spoke about his time in New York and the organization as a whole. “I like everything. Thanks to the organization for believing in me, bringing me here. It’s a very good group of guys,” Tarasenko said. “Me and my family were taken care of very well and I can’t say a single bad word about my time. The way it ended up is not good hockey-wise, but I enjoyed everything. “I’m enjoying being here. It’s one of the top organizations in the league, maybe if not the best. They do everything for players to just play and enjoy the work.” However, once Tarasenko reached free agency it seemed less and less likely the Rangers would be able to bring him back. Teams like the Senators, Predators, Sharks and Hurricanes were reportedly all vying for Tarsenko’s services.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
