Team: 2021-22 St. Louis Blues
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 12, 2021
Published: Jul. 12, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Islanders' fans are going to say that Blues need to retain on Tarasenko. Blues are taking an extra year of Eberle who is a lesser player and 2 years older. The prospect and pick make up this difference and Bortuzzo would be a Trotz/Lou type player and very serviceable for a year. This is pending on Tarasenko's medicals checking out which should since Blues are readily sending to interested teams. NYI were a goal scorer of Tarasenko's level away from making the finals this year.

I guess you are serious so:

Tarasenko
Reg Season GP 531 / Goals 218 / Assists 224 / Points 442 / Pts/Gm 0.83
Postseason GP 78 / Goals 35 / Assists 16 / Points 51 / Pts/Gm 0.65

Eberle
Reg Season GP 779 / Goals 241 / Assists 310 / Points 551 / Pts/Gm 0.71
Postseason GP 62 / Goals 13 / Assists 23 / Points 36 / Pts/Gm 0.58

Eberle Career high in points and goals was 10 years ago 34/42/76. Has never topped 59 pints since joining the Islanders.
Tarasenko carrer high 39/36/75. Just 3 years ago had 33/35/68.

interesting. I don't give a f*ck what Tarasenko did 3-5 years ago. Unfortunately for him, his shoulder injury has affected the best part of his game, his shot. He was brutal this season and the blues were a better team when he was off the ice. He tanked Schenn/Oriellys numbers.

Eberle had 14 even strength goals this season, which ranked 11th among all wingers. Tarasenko had 2 even strength goals in 24 games and he had trouble getting shots off from prime scoring areas. It's highly unlikely he returns form as a 1st line winger.

If the Isles are going to take the risk on Tarasenko, it will be something like Eberle + Bellows + 3rd for Tarasenko (2mill retained). If not you can keep him and hope he gets taken in the expansion draft!

1. Tarasenko doesn’t play on O’Reilly’s line so not sure what you are talking about.
2. He shot the puck just fine. Watch his playoff goals from last year. He had 2 in 4 games. Eberle had 4 in 19 games.
3. Hard pass on your offer.

The reason Isles fans are going to say the Blues are going to need to retain is because the Isles can't take more cap on. This trade adds over 3 million on the Isles side, so even if the deal were to be fair value it literally can not be done without retention.

When can we please stop with all these nonsense trades involving Tarasenko????? shakes head
We are not trading for damaged goods, 30 yr old winger with 3 consecutive surgeries in the last 3 years. Who had played 34 games in the last 114 games. Who has 7 goals in the last 2 years!!!!
AND, has $7.5M per year for the next 2 years

PLEASE STOP THE MADDENESS

He had 70 min of ice time with Orielly this season. The line improved when Orielly was taken off.

Nope he didn’t shoot just fine. He was a liability the entire season, the blues can keep him. Isles have no interest in overpaying for damaged goods.

Well if reversekneebar (a Twitter acct with 113 followers) says so then it has to be true…

It’s weird that Eberle is so great that it seems like every AGM done by Isles fans trades him away. You can keep the hangman king. Blues will do better for Tarasenko.

actually this data is from Naturalstattrick, one of the best platforms for evaluating players.

There were Isles fans who wanted to trade away Devon Toews after a bad playoffs last season, he finished 11th in Norris voting this season. The numbers don't lie , there's a reason why Eberle finished 11th among all wingers in 5v5 goals this season.

No one is giving up significant assets for a washed up Tarasenko who's due 9.5 mlll in salary. Best case scenario for the Blues is Seattle takes his full contract so the Blues can allocate their money towards better forwards that can play more than 30 games in a season.
