yave1964 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Great add for the NYR. I watched the game last night, they were listless and I like miller but he has no business with as much power play time. Also their depth is dreadful, he gives them three legit tough lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewin Flames Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 It's not official yet, he's in the process of waiving his NTC and the Blues are retaining some salary... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Also, this means no Patrick Kane to the rangers. My feeling all along is Kane is going to the sabres or devil's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewin Flames Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod Sounds like the Blues are retaining a big chunk of Tarasenko's $7.5M cap hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 According to seravelli it is two picks, as prospect and Sammy blais. Blais is a mediocre 4th line body who is obviously in the deal to make the money work. Wow. Rags keep the kid line intact. Kravtsov might be the prospect going the other way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Mikkola also going to the rangers. Young veteran third pair blueliner with a snarl to his game. Little offense but fearless style. Perfect playoff player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewin Flames Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 TO NYR Vladimir Tarasekno and Defensemen Niko Mikkola To St. Louis Sammy Blais, Hunter Skinner (prospect) and a 2023 1st rnd pick Blues retain 40 % of Tarasenko's cap hit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is all, the rangers just won the lottery. Wow. Skinner is slow and cannot skate and even demoted to the echl. The rangers are loaded with young kids and they kept them all? Wow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Sooooo...... the BIG question. What line does he play on? I would make the assumption he goes on the 1st with Zibby and Panarin. The BIGGER question is who does he bump off PP1? (Zibby / Trocheck / Panarin / Kreider / Fox) Does Tarasenk bump either Trocheck or Kreider off PP1? 2nd line for Rangers now look like LaFrenchy / Chytil / Kakko Or does Tarasenko go on PP2 with LaFrench / Chytil / Kakko / Trouba. In his prime from 2014-19, there were few better goal scorers in the NHL than Tarasenko. Since his injury and surgery he's still a productive forward. His points per minute this year grade as an upper-end second-liner, and that was with a shot-rate crash. If he can add some more shots to his profile, he can easily produce at a first-line rate. All told, it’s a good move for Tarasenko. It gives him a better scoring environment, better line mates, and all that should help his shooting (and shooting percentage) rebound. At worst, the Rangers got an offense-only 25-goal winger. At best, they may have gotten a game-breaker if Tarasenko can really create magic with the likes of Zibanejad and Panarin. Consider this a win for the Rangers ....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did Chuck Fletcher take over in St. Louis? You gave up two players, retained salary and got that? A bust, a who? and a lower half 1st round pick. Makes me wonder what Chuck's going to give away with JVR... 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the shrewd negotiator at work: OK, guys, I'll take the lower of the two firsts, but if you guys make the playoffs I want next year's 4th to be a 3rd - victory! Here's $1.4M. Dallas' first could not unreasonably be bottom five. If that's the market for Tarasenko, we take you now to the booming market for JVR... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping this makes the Devils feel the need to add a JVR before the deadline. Not sure for what is return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Damn...the Rangers only had to give up a first and a fourth, Blais and Skinner, AND they got Tarasenko. Not only that, they got the Blues to pay half of Tarasenko's salary. On top of that, the Rangers got Mikkola. too. Really impressive trade by them.

Icechipper Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Tarasenko fastest skater I've ever witnessed in hockey, U18s in Fargo. Not as fast but shot lethal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Rick Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Say it ain’t so! Hockey Guy, who I am now fed up with, has reported this. But he says Sammy Blais goes to Blues? Blais was a Blue on their Cup team? I have to research this Yes it’s true. Stupid ass Blues just made Rangers major contenders Edited February 10, 2023 by Hockey Junkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
