Rumor: Vladimir Tarasenko requests a trade

[finnishflash13]

I get that he's big mad and his trade value is the lowest its ever been, but I hope the Blues don't just trade him for a bag of pucks. If they can't get any fair trades, expose him -- to clear up his cap space -- or keep him and have him get over it.

 

[ColbyChaos]

He was injured lol last few years. Look at his pre injury stats. They are pretty much un matched. Lol

He could be the GOAT pre-injury it doesnt mean a damn thing if you only have 30GP across 2 seasons and 3 shoulder surgeries. No one should be giving a first rounder for him unless there are conditions on it. No sane GM is going to give a first for Tarasenko to play 7 games and reaggravate his shoulder and be out the rest of the season with surgery

 

[Price is Wright]

He was a - 8 in the playoffs? That's excessive. Likely needs a change of scenery. I could see him as a Ranger.

 

[HellOnIce]

Devils offer the 2022 Kinkaid 5th rouder ;P

 

[DrDangles]

What is your offer. If you have a first and prospect then sold if not no since in getting a middle sixer or bottom sizer from you we have it in spades. Feel free to drop your offer prove me wrong. Just got my coffee now so maybee things get better lol

I don't see how any contender can take on Vladdy without sending cap back, and I also don't see how a re-building team justifies a 1st + a prospect for a guy who likely doesn't fit their timeline to compete. I'm assuming STL is still trying to re-tool and remain competitive so the only real move in my eyes is a lateral trade between teams that need a change.

Maybe if Pittsburgh offered the most valuable piece in the trade like Guentzel there could be a bigger shakeup that benefits both teams. How highly do STL fans value guys like Thomas and Dunn?

Tarasenko + ??? for Guentzel + ???

Lol did you watch the last 35 games he played 24 end of season 4 playoffs and 6 international. That's almost half season and he was getting better every game
I get the narrative you and everyone else want low risk high reward and that's just not happening. So when the trade happens we can revisit this if I am wrong I will admit it. If you are wrong will u

Thomas isn't going anywhere Dunn is available.

I sent I pens proposal gruden and Pierre Joseph for tank with retention.

Source is ESPN.

Apparently the ESPN source is a single comment by a local radio host in St. Louis. This rumor has been making the rounds but it's hard to know whether the radio guy's source was legit or not.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

It's both. There have been rumors for years that players haven't liked how Tarasenko has received preferential treatment at times. It's not a surprise that his name came up in 18/19 before the season got back on track. Both sides need to move on, it's a mutual decision.

Kind of moot if the team wants him gone once the player decides he wants out. Teams want to trade players all the time - players letting it leak they want to leave while under contract is a big outlier.

Montreal could use a scoring winger

How about Kucherov?

 

[PensandCaps]

Montreal could use a scoring winger

A guy like Tatar.

Zero reason for the rangers.

I believe this is correct, been seeing a lot of people cite "ESPN St. Louis" without a link to whatever that is and it's been driving me up the wall.

Crystal ball says Carolina or Florida

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

He could excel in Montreal.

Tarasenko Dunn.

[Vladys Gumption]

Gallagher
Kulak

For

Tarasenko
Dunn(RFA)

I’d easily do that.

 

[Colt55]

I’d easily do that.

Why kulak has no value and Gallagher is 29. We need to use tank and Dunn to get younger.

Montreal wont be trading their top prospect.

 

[IGGY2JOHNNY]

Rangers make the most sense to me. Can see Panarin recruiting him to come play with him. A Panarin,Zibanajad,Tarasenko line would be quite dirty

 

[These Are The Days]

Don't sweat it Blues fans. That Bedard kid is really damn good and if your management team decides on a rebuild I'd say he's worth the gamble.

 

[Colt55]

Blues are not taking scraps or salary back. I see them only trading for futures.

Yeah but arr you willing to actually trade something of value. Cause this he ain't worth nothing but he would be so dangerous here thing that's been going on in this thread is laughable. I am not saying you are doing that. I am just saying

 

[Ainsy01]

Monahan for Tarasenko 1 for 1. Blues retain 1 million to make the cap the same.

They are both coming off injury and have had a bad year or two behind them. Blues are looking for something down the middle and flames have needed a top line right winger for about 4 years now.

Lindholm moves to the middle where he has excelled already.

Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tarasenko
Tkachyk - Backlund - Mangiapane

We aren't looking for centers though. We have O'Reilly, Schenn, and Thomas. Besides that, I'd be fineish with Monahan
