Rumor: The battle for Tarasenko is heating up

[miscs75]

C'mon down to Lou's Island, Vlad.

Vlad (50% retention for):
Uncle Leo
Thomas Hickey
A 2nd round pick in 2022
Random prospect not named (Wilde, Salo, Raty, Bolduc)


Yeah, as an Islanders fan I can’t see this happening as much as I’d like for that to be the offer. Vlad is good but not what the Islanders want on the cap for this year at full contract.

Tarasenko vs. Eichel

The "battle" for who can pay the most for the most broken player. Coming soon to a theater near you.

 

[miscs75]

Tarasenko + Sanford + 2 mill retention for Beauvillier

Lou laughs, hangs up and 3 days later Armstrong is never heard from again. The last anyone knows of is seeing him going fishing with some random guys.

Tarasenko has played nearly 20 games in the playoffs and with Russia since being cleared. He’s healthy now. He’ll score 30 with a good center and pp time.

Random guys later identified as Zach Parise, Lou and Dustin Byfuglien on a northern Minnesota lake.

 

[MNRube]

Zuccarello for Tarasenko if Zuccarello is willing to waive NMC

Actually, it was Evander Kane plus 2 guys who can only be identified as Ivan.

 

[Richard88]

Avs need a top 6 winger and have ~$4m capspace so would need some serious retention. Send Compher in the other direction and Avs would need less retention though. Could be doable but I doubt St. Louis are interested in sending Tarasenko to a division rival in case he heats up again.

 

[north49er]

Rangers need him to ride shotgun for Reaves.....

You sure it was 2 guys? Maybe it was Ivan Ivan at eliteprospects.com

Yeah sure, until the next shoulder surgery. That'll be what, number 4?

Per @TheFourthPeriod, the #NJDevils, Rangers, and Islanders are “in a battle” for Vladimir Tarasenko.
He adds that there “has been progress” on a trade.

Where is this posted? I don’t see it on Twitter or TFP’s website.

He would be a great fit on the Isles. When healthy this is a dominant goal scorer.

Would be glad for NYR to get him at the right price as well.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

He's probably gonna get moved for another thicc contract. So, not much of a battle

 

[Mike Liut]

The two prior surgeries didn’t fix it, that’s why he’s upset. But he’s been given a clean bill of health now. All indications are that it’s fully repaired. He’s playing without limitations.

Army won’t do that.

 

[cheech70]

Why would you go from Buch to Tarasenko?

because in between they may trade K2

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Army won’t do that.

I think it will be similar to the Cam Atkinson for Jakub Voracek deal

 

[miscs75]

Quite possible.

 

[OilersCoffeeArtBeer]

The Devils could be a decent powerplay team if they get tarasenko. Just need some Centre's.

 

[BB88]

Who?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Have you heard of Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier, or?

The last thing we need are Centers lol
