I would put Draisaitl as the more valuable player, there’s no reports out of Edmonton that they’re unhappy with him.
He's not more valuable than Tarasenko. Now, unlike a lot of other Blues fans Tarasenko's value isn't absurd, but a consistent 30-40 goal scorer is harder to find than a 70 point player. Only Ovechkin has more goals than Tarasenko the last 4 years, and Tarasenko leads in even strength goals. Draisaitl and a conditional pick isn't a terrible ask.
