If SJ puts Tarasov on the 4th line he's going to fail. He really needs to be with offensive minded players, otherwise he'll be out of his element.
Cool
Hopefully they'll play him in TK's spot on Hertl's wing
My guess is he'll get into the lineup just as soon as John Scott gets suspended again for concussing/name-calling Tim Jackman.

This is interesting. Tuesday, Kurz quoted McLellan on Hertl: "Based on our injuries now and the way we move people around, he’ll play the wing for a couple games again..."
Then Wednesday, TMac says Kennedy is injured. Tarasov called up.
I'm assuming Hertl goes back to center, but the whole "he'll play the wing again" made me rage. Hertl was doing fine at center and they blew his 4-day break apart to get him AHL time at center. Then TMac plays Rubik's cube because... he's bored?
Maddening. But oddly, thank you Kennedy for forcing TMac to do the right thing.
TK getting injured isn't going to move Hertl back to center. They like Sheppard at C so until they get healthy enough to go with 4 good likes Hertl is likely to stay at W.
Fascinating. Frustrating, but fascinating.
I hope Tarasov skates circles around someone. Anyone.
With Jackman not playing tonight I hope Tarasov gets to play. Scott can sit and goodrow can slide to the 4th line.

Looks like Tarasov won’t be playing tonight, judging from morning skate here #SJSharks
