JR source please so I can believe!

What does New Jersey have that would honestly help us? I can't see them giving up a roster player.

They have solid pieces, but at this point, who knows what a return could look like or when a deal would even be completed. Looking clearer and clearer that every source has just been Tarasenko's agent trying to push a deal.

 

[Meatball]

There's still a ton of time between now and training camp (let alone opening night), but Armstrong told Tarasenko to come to St. Louis prepared to play, and I'm of the same mindset at this point.

 

[Blueston]

Devils signed Tatar. Does that take them out of Tarasenko sweepstakes?

I wouldn't say it takes them out, they still have room, and we likely won't know if they maintain interest or not.

I'm not sold that is the case. It could have been a Blues source (or a league source doing Army a solid) attempting to create the appearance of a bidding war in an effort to drum up the value. If I were betting, I'd guess that it was the agent, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was Army trying to create some value for his asset. I fully believe that Army is comfortable dragging this into the season in order to get a good return, but I'm also confident that he would prefer to get that value right now. If he can drum up a marketplace, he will.

Hey Tarasenko, nobody is willing to pay the asking price for you, so I’d advise you to swallow your pride, report to camp in great shape, and show everybody the beast you can be when healthy.

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Honestly keeping him is our best case scenario at this point. I'm guessing his value (around the league) is basically one 2nd rounder or a B prospect. I also honestly do believe he will have a bounce back year. And instead of going on the main boards and arguing round-and-round his 'true value' and that he is (should be) finally healthy. Why not just let him flourish here and reap the rewards at a later date? I just would hope that Tank reports.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I honestly just want him gone now. I'm so tired of hearing the Tarasenko chatter right now. There's no one in the UFA market I'd really be interested in signing and we can clear cap in a trade if we were trying to acquire a top 4 LHD in a trade. He doesn't want to be here anymore? then kick him to the curb. Let the players who actually want to be here like Perron play.

Funny how people turn against player if he is feeling bad. It's on Army if he can't find trade for him.

Blaming player in this manner is absolutely painful to see. Also note how important he was/is in Blues.

Same goes with Pietro.

So many Army's boys in Blues board.

He's not going to no show camp. That would cost him $9.5M and he would not be allowed to play in the KHL unless he retires from the NHL.

He could retire, play in the KHL for 6 years and then make his NHL return at 35. Or he could retire, sit out from pro hockey for 2 years and then try to make an NHL return after that. Or he could just come to camp and try to look like a 25 goal scorer for the first 6 weeks of the season. Seems like an easy decision to me, but if he decides to destroy his career then we can take the free cap space. A player suspended for no-showing camp gets taken off the books (as does a player who retires).

He could also keep his Agent from passing off information. This is the type of thing that should be happening behind closed doors. Not out in public. I feel the same way with Eichel thing going on. 1/2 the information going on should not be in the eyes of the public.

Well if team isn't handling situation correctly it's only way to push things to make it happens. This is Tarasenko's career. 2 times failed surgery's unacceptable.

Have you really go deep in to Eichel case? Buffalo has done it even worse vs Blues.

I really recommend listen this, open up things.

I no longer think he’s getting moved. Nobody is taking on his 7.5 x 2 with his unknown shoulder and Army isn’t eating salary especially without a decent return.

He’s still under contract, so it’s also on Vlad and his agents to know that Army doesn’t HAVE to trade him at all, especially for a low ball offer and/or one involving big money coming back. And Army has proven, for better or worse, that he’s gonna stick to his guns.

Vlad and his agent totally screwed this up.
He better perform well this season and build his value

How Blues has handle situation and clearly Vlad has asked earlier trade. Go in public was his last chance.

 

[BlueDream]

With Tatar signed, I’m pretty sure the only guy left on the market that could possibly play in a top 6 is Marcus Johansson. So hopefully a Tarasenko trade happens soon.

Not sure where he goes though. Maybe New Jersey still.

I was always expecting the Islanders but if the rumors are true that they’ve signed Palmieri, Zajac, Parise and Cizikis, they don’t really need him.

Blues screwed 2 times Vlads shoulder. We wouldn't see this if they would have fix his shoulder.

Thank you doctor.

 

[Ranksu]

Thank you doctor.

Well, you happy how our doctors fix his shoulder? 3rd doctor fix it who wasn't Blues own doctor.

I can't believe you guys defend this too. Wtf

But the sentiment is on point.

I don’t see 91 ever being what he was again and him needing to be moved is a necessity for us and that locker room. That’s fair to all involved. The bigger problem is the teams medical staff and why they still have a job with the Note instead of being fired into the sun.

I don’t mean one person, I mean all of them. If I’m a player I absolutely don’t trust them and Army should remove any questions of distrust in the front office before anything else happens.

We’re spending to the Cap, protect what we’re paying for!
