Nuxfanabroad Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 So the Blooos couldn't propagandize/drum up any buyer's interest for this fast, fading force?..Shocking! Sorry StLoo, you shoulder the cost on this overpriced-asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrissex95 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Blues replace Pieterangelo with Krug and Faulk then they lose Tarasenko for nothing but cap space. Show's you what's at a premium it is nowadays. Cap space is gold right now and the Kraken will be stacked. 3 years from now they'll be whooping our rear-ends in front of everyone.

As much as it would bug me if Seattle won the Cup in year one, I'd rather see Seattle than Vegas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I think Tarasenko is the first slam dunk to get picked by the Kraken. That's a gimme if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could trade him at 50% retained to a contender and probably get a serious asset back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfgang Durst Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 8 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: that shoulder tho. some teams have requested medical reports from the St. Louis Blues and after examining them they were comfortable with Tarasenko's shoulder. Here is a quote from David Pagnotta on this subject: David Pagnotta: Was told that teams were good with Tarasenko’s medical reports but just couldn’t get the trade details worked out. 4 teams were willing to take on Tarasenko's cap hit of 7.5 M $ for the next two years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfgang Durst Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Here is some more info about Tarasenko's shoulder - interesting stuff - : Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic: Multiple sources have said that St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko has officially requested a trade. The request came earlier this offseason. League and team sources are saying the Blues GM Doug Armstrong is trying to find a deal. The 29-year old Tarasenko has two years left on his deal at a $7.5 million salary cap and a full no-trade clause. His salary is $9.5 million next year and then $5.5 million during his final year. Sources are saying that Tarasenko isn’t happy with shoulder surgeries he had in 2018 and 2019 that were done by Blues physicians. He’s had three shoulder surgeries. There is a lack of trust. During his third surgery in 2020, the non-Blues surgeon determined that the ligament damage wasn’t corrected in the first two surgeries. Tarasenko had some issues before the playoffs last and feels the team waited too long for more testing. There had been a report that he was disappointed in not being named captain as well. After talking with some GMs it appears that the Blues have been shopping Tarasenko for a while. Sources say Tarasenko has given the Blues a list of up to 10 teams he’d consider a trade to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
