Confirmed with Link: Tarasenko re-signs with the Blues! (8 years @ $7.5m)

[Blanick]

Tarasenko's new wife must be loving this as much as him. Jk

If she is anything like my ex she has probably already spent the first paycheck..

Armstrong can sign players. He just doesn't know how to trade.

Some players lol


I'm so glad he didn't **** this up, and I'm beyond thankful Tarasenko wants to be here long term.

I'm bit puzzled that price, but maybe every contracts are going sky high nowdays.

But overally big relief that Tarasenko stays on Blues and Army did handle his job.

If he does exactly what he did this past season, no better, no worse, it's already a good deal for a 35+ goal scorer. With his release, it's hard for me to imagine him potting less than 30 goals in any of these seasons, barring injury obviously. This is a great deal for the Blues.

If he develops chemistry on a line with Stastny then I think he'll score 40+ goals

Kessel makes 8M, Kane makes 10.5M, Perry makes a shade over 8M. That's the going rate for elite RWers. He could've gotten more if he really pushed for it.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Wasn't worried one bit. Love the term and hit.

Which makes me believe that he's a true team player, and was willing to give up the extra money so the rest of his team could be good.

 

[STL fan in MN]

Great deal.

I was originally projecting $7M but once Saad got $6M, then Tarasenko is worth way more than $7.5M comparatively. Great price given the circumstances.

I'm glad they've got him locked up for max term.

They now have about $2.4M in cap space left with 2 forward spots open. Assuming Fabbri ($925k cap hit) takes up one of the spots that leaves $1.5M. Someone like Rattie, Porter or similar type player will likely cost in the $600-800k range. That would leave the Blues approx. $700-900k in cap space, which would allow them to afford Wolves injury callups and to possibly make a trade deadline deal.

 

[uncommonsense52]

Fair dollars, good years.

 

[Colt 55]

I just realized I'll be 30 when his contract is up. Crazy when you think about it like that.

And me over 40. Jeesus christ.

The way hockeyscap has the last 3 seasons listed re: NHL salary is really strange

5.5 - 9.5 - 5.5

I wonder what that is all about.

The first one of those is year 6, when Pietrangelo's deal is done. Who knows about the other, but Armstrong is good at contracts.

It's about the CBA, protection incase there is another lockout.

It's a higher number than I expected, but I'm surprised he went the full 8 years. He'll be 31 when this deal ends, so we'll be getting all his prime years. Happy with this deal.

 

[Ranksu]

Yet I forgot this. I have hold up this long time.

And the one song I still hold up for bigger.

What the hell will Schwartz want now? He's as good as Tarasenko IMO - but I know sizzle sells over the steak sometimes.

7x7 probably

So I watched the video thinking it was safe to watch it. After all, I wouldn't want to scream "Fire Armstrong" at my computer monitor like a crazy person when he just signed Tarasenko to a good contract. That didn't work out so well. When he tried to justify the horrific trade for Brouwer by saying it would allow Tarasenko more minutes. That is pure BS. If Hitch wanted to give Tarasenko more minutes, he gives him more minutes. You don't have to lose a trade in order to force the coach's hand into having to give Taraenko good minutes because we have nobody else.

I think we'll find out the answer to that question fairly soon.

Forcing Hitchs hand may have changed results recently :/

Which is obnoxious

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Just curious does he have a no trade clause? Just in case things turn sour.

He disappears in the Playoffs. He doesn't raise his game the same level that Tarasenko does. I'd guess around 6-7m.... it would be fair as he's flirting with elite production...
