Rumor: Vladimir Tarasenko requests a trade

[s3antana5757]

I think Boston would be happy to build a deal around DeBrusk and one of the young LHD not named Gryz. Picks would be included too. A top 6 of Marchand-Bergy-Pasta and Hall-Krejci-Tarasenko would be the envy of the league

 

[jay from jersey]

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

he’s also got a sizable cap hit and a NTC to go along with his injury history. If he’s only willing to waive for 2-3 teams I don’t expect him to get a lot of value back. Blues will be happy to get his hit off the payroll

Think more Taylor hall when buffalo traded him as a comparable, rather then him snagging a mid- late 1st.
Tank will prob get a 2nd, a bottom 6 grinder prospect, and blues won’t have to hold any cap back. IMO

guhle 1st 2021 and Lehkonen

Tarasenko Dunn.

Posted this last night

Switch Lehkonen with Drouin and I think Habs do it.

 

[Ainsy01]

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

Stick em on the wing

 

[TruBlu]

The idea that some team won't pay a hefty sum for him is ridiculous. Despite what some say, he's not "injury prone." The last two years have been the result of a single issue that wasn't caught and corrected until the last surgery. DA will get a decent offer for him or he won't trade him. If Tank truly wants out he's in no real position of leverage other than to open up his list of teams he'd go to or toil in agony for two years and hurting his future trade value. Some team will take a chance on getting a 30+ goal scorer for a little lower than what would normally be expected; bank on it. My personal opinion, I'd trade Tank for futures/prospects and start the rebuild early. Sell off some of the older core at the TDL this coming season for picks/prospects and then reevaluate the year after. Hopefully MK will be ready to come home to the LOU as a UFA at that point and you can start to build a new core.

Stick em on the wing

Has Monahan ever played wing? We can't really have another Schenn situation where they can technically play wing, but are much more comfortable and better in the middle.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

If it's true that the Caps are looking to trade Kuznetsov this summer, they can get Tarasenko and re-unite him back with Oshie and not lose much of a step.

 

[Colt55]

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

No thanks we don't need Monahan.

Adam Ruzicka and Connor Mackey

For tarasenko

Add picks if you want retention no dead cap coming back unless the first is included

The 2 3 teams was debunked in the article the list appears to be ten teams.

Lol what

We need cap space too, so no thanks on that offer.

 

[Colt55]

We also have barbashev sundquisr and alexandrov

Ok sounds good. No reason to trade you the best player in the deal.

The best thing in the deal is the cap space

This is just a solid no

 

[Habs Halifax]

Switch Lehkonen with Drouin and I think Habs do it.

I don't believe we are trading Guhle until we know how good he is. I'd offer 1st, Harris, and Drouin (cap reasons). If they laugh at it, so be it.

I'm interested in Tarasenko but not desperate. He is not tracking well recently with his injuries and he is 29/30 next year.

 

[Colt55]

No it's not 1 mil and a guy we don't need. Sounds amazing. Army will use tarasenko to get younger prospects to fill out barron cupboard. If you guys want tank then make a other move. It's not up to the blues to deal with your cap issues unless you pay for that cap. Like the jori lehtera 2 1sts for Schenn

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

The Islanders can't take on ANY salary. They are already in cap hell, with a lot of older players who cannot easily be moved because of their contracts. Any Tarasenko deal with the Islanders would have to see the BLues taking on more salary than the Isles.

We could take Eberle if you made it worth our while. Clutterbuck or Bailey too. We have lots of $ coming off the books this year.

 

[WeWentBlues]

One thing to keep in mind is Armstrong has never retained salary so it’s unlikely.

We retained on Stasny. However, retaining at the deadline in the last year of a contract vs. retaining with 2 full years left is a big difference in $$$ Blues would be paying for someone to play for another team.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Say hi to Nick Leddy and Leo Komarov then

I would take Leddy and pick.

 

[Colt55]

We could take Eberle if you made it worth our while. Clutterbuck or Bailey too. We have lots of $ coming off the books this year.

Yeah but they don't have a 1st round pick this year. We would need some projects from them. Ones they won't want to move.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Injuries are a bitch, he was a great player

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Yeah but they don't have a 1st round pick this year. We would need some projects from them. Ones they won't want to move.

I’d take Dobson along with Eberle and a 1 year cap dump from them.

Yeah no thanks Harris is a small defender blues want to get bigger on the lhd.

Maybee brook 2021 1st no retention for tank.

 

[Colt55]

I’d take Dobson along with Eberle and a 1 year cap dump from them.

Yep works for me

 

[Colt55]

Injuries are a bitch, he was a great player

He still is a great player. Seriously watch team Russia and blues 4 playoff games. He was playing well. Don't listen to the negativity here.
