Highly doubt the Blues resign him, I think they deal Tarasenko by the deadline to a contender as a rental. Who do you see getting him and what would the Blues want?

1st + B-prospect for Tarasenko. 1st + A-prospect for Tarasenko @50%?

people will say 1st+. The problem is the real money owed. It’s $5.5M this season

Kane/ Toews is $2.9M in real money.

if you try to include a pass through team in lowering cap, the real dollar owed matters.

25% of 5.5 is near 1.4M
25% of $2.9M is near 725K.

because thst real dollars matter…if you include a third team they will be asking fir a 2nd/3rd to retain. Thst will cause a 2st to become 2 2nd+ prospect or 2+3+ prospect. The third team takes thst 2nd/3rd in the deal.

Yeah, no ... Tarasenko's real dollars due at the deadline will be under 1.4M and is not even slightly a barrier. Evidence that someone else is even cheaper does not change this fact. If the Blues retain 50% then a team can get him for 700K real dollars. The Blues can also take an expiring contract back if needed.

Would venture to guess at the minimum he’ll get a 1st and a prospect in return. Not sure if the value of the prospect or if an additional mid round pick would also be added. I also highly doubt the Blues would have any issue retaining half as it gets closer to the deadline if necessary to facilitate a trade. Same probably goes for ROR if they move him like they should

I disagree. Cup contenders are more concern about fitting the cap hit onto their team .

Edmonton was reported interested in Kane while being up against the cap. Kane cap hit or 10.5M at 50% retained is still a 5.25M cap hit which is problematic for the Oilers. It would take double retention.
Tarasenko is 5.5M with 50% retained that is a 2.75M cap hit so the Oilers could send back a 3M contract to make it work so no need to involve a 3rd team.

If they sweeten the deal for Stl to retain salary, why would they not? Not bringing in any more dollars to improve this tear? Correct?

50% would only be relevant for the close to cap teams like boston, but I don't see them getting rid of an a-prospect and their first when they are doing so well already.

I would assume other teams of the Boston's caliber would feel the same way and be up to the cap as well. Didn't look at capfriendly, so don't know.

I am not so sure he gets a first and a prospect if he is indeed not going to be signed by STL with their history. Of course they are going to try and get that for him, but it might just be a first or a second and b-level prospect.

No it isn't that much of a return, but the alternative is him walking for nothing like gaudreau.

Tarasenko is 5.5M with 50% retained that is a 2.75M cap hit so the Oilers could send back a 3M contract to make it work so no need to involve a 3rd team.

therr is a difference between cap hit and real money owed

kane has a 10.5M cap but with bonus money paid out his actual pay in season is $2.9M
Tarasenko Carrie’s a $7.5M cap hit and is owEd $5.5M n real money this season

at 50% both are high hits of 5.25 and 3.75
so they need a third team fir additional retention to get them down to 2.125 and $1.375 thst many teams could afford near the deadline.

the issue is what does the third team get? It has nothing to do with cap hit. Instead it has everything to do with actual money out of their pocket. Kane will be near half that of Tarasenko.

based on past trades $500,000 in actual owed money equates to a 2nd round pic…otpr around what Tarasenko could be owed when traded. Kane is less so he will cost a middle team less to do…like a 4th.

the other factor at pkay is fitting him u der the cap. Some teams might need to send out a cap dump not many teams have this to unload at the deadline that is expiring this year. If it’s an actual good player then that will affect picks/ prospects

As a Blues fan, I'll take a first and Matt Coronato for a 50% retained Tarasenko. If that's too much, I'll take a first and the best defense prospect you're willing to move.

When you leave your job, do you hand back all the money paid by your old employer and then stick out your hands for your new employer to pay you the full, yearly salary?

If the Devils are still in the running come TDL I'd do 1st + prospect like Nolan Foote. Think its important to show the locker room that management has belief in the team as well as bring in another vet with experience.

I am surprised that people are thinking a 1st in a Tarasenko trade... he hasn't been great at 5v5, granted the Blues haven't been great but still a 1st seems like overpayment.
