Melnyk/Sens don’t do Russians..If Stone doesn't want an extension, would Ottawa be enticed to a 1 for 1 swap with Tarasenko?
Contracts AAV are similar so Melnyks payroll is relatively unaffected and Tarasenko has term, similar age, same position.
Something isn't right in St. Louis so a shakeup may be in order and this idea popped in my head.
I'd like to keep Tierney and Demelo another year at least. I think both have been steady.I would be in favor of trading Tierney, Boedker and Demelo at the trade deadline. They started out strong but they have been a lot more mediocre lately. I am not convinced that they are log term pieces and if someone is willing to overpay then I think we should trade them.
I'd do this in a heartbeat.If Stone doesn't want an extension, would Ottawa be enticed to a 1 for 1 swap with Tarasenko?

The Blues would not.
I'm pretty sure they would do that easily if Stone would agree to an extension.
Stone is probably the best two way winger in the game and has been better than Tarasenko last year and this year at least. They are both young and although Tarasenko is a better goal scorer he is not nearly as good as Stone all around and Stone still produces more.
Stone getting massively overrated again.
Tarasenko is signed at 7.5 cap hit unti 22-23. He is far more valuable than Stone.
Over the last 3 1/4 seasons.Tarasenko is overrated he's not been the same player he was a couple years ago and Stone has just been better and better.
Don't agree at all. There is no way in hell Tarasenko is more valuable than Stone and even less "far more" valuable that's just false. Especially considering we we're talking about an extended Stone. Their game away from the puck is not even comparable on top of Stone being better offensively. Tarasenko has a better shot but that's it.
Stone carries far more value as a hockey player, even at 8.5M cap hit. But if Stone isn't re-signing Tarasenko would be a steal in a deal.Over the last 3 1/4 seasons.
Tarasenko is 20th in scoring for Forwards with 118 goals and 231 points.
Stone is 34th with 74 goals and 201 points.
Tarasenko is locked into a 7.5 cap hit.
Stone will sign for significantly more.
Tarasenko has more value.

You really think tarasenko is trending down ? Truthfully.Nah he doesn't.
Stone will sign for 1.5M more per and is worth more as well. Tarasenko will be more valuable when he can start playing like he did 3 1/4 seasons ago.
One is trending up and one is trending down.
If we can't re-sign Stone I'd take Tarasenko but I'd much rather keep Stone.
Also Stone is not a goalscorer, he's more of a playmaker stealing pucks and transitoning the game from the Dzone to the Ozone. Tarasenko is a sniper.. No point in comparing goals.
Absolutely.Nah he doesn't.

I definitely like Stone's all around game better. The fact that he makes other players better is huge.He's not playing as good as he did a couple years back just ask Blues fans or go on the Blues board. He's still a good player let's not kid ourselves but Stone is in another tier right now and has been for 100 games while playing with Pageau, Smith, Brassard, Tierney.
There are rumours somethings up between him and St-Louis maybe that explains it but he certainly has not been as good as he had previously been.
Tarasenko is an ethnically Ukrainian name.Melnyk/Sens don’t do Russians..
I'd like to keep Tierney and Demelo another year at least. I think both have been steady.
Its true he is trending down, not the same player I am afraid some Russians really mail it in at 30 too. I have no interest in trading Stone for him id rather go for futures, but really any Stone trade at this point I am going to stop following this team there is no point.He's not playing as good as he did a couple years back just ask Blues fans or go on the Blues board.
