You also have to take into account that Tarasenko is comfortable where hes at. The Blues have a pretty good idea of what to expect from him. Theres a comfort level between him and the organization. When/if Tavares gets traded, you really wont know what your getting for a while. The Isles have been dreadful his whole career. And although hes a star there, it is the only home hes known. He might not be the same player when he changes environments. I also think the fact that they arent gonna have a place to call home is a huge negative for NY but a huge plus for the teams trying to attract Tavares. Thats a huge blunder that probably helps make that decision for JT. Kind a makes the Blues not having an AHL affiliate seem like a minor oversight.
Well at least just for this season we don't have a true affiliate. Starting next season we'll be fully taking over San Antonio.
