Two players who have questionable futures involved in a trade.
I had to circle back to this post after thinking about it.
Buffalo is the big winner if Tarasenko completely recover even if Jack does the same.
On the other hand Tarasenko has had two underwhelming seasons due to his shoulder injury.
I make this deal if Vladimir would waive for Buffalo.
Imagine top lines of:
Skinner Cozens Hinostroza
Olofsson Thompson Tarasenko
Quoting: Dannywalters
Zach bolduc was a 2021 first round pick...
Quoting: Radu47
...Just needs a blue chip asset in the return Tho maybe the 2023 1st is that The BLUE CHIP is Tarasenko, if he bounces back Buffalo wins by a wide margin.
Quoting: Aidian1
Good on Eichel...LOL the Blues top two centers are gifts from Buffalo.
Quoting: LetsGoPens69
Probably and overpay for Eichel...Only if Tarasenko completely recovers, then it is a HUGE win for Buffalo.
Quoting: BuFfaLOFaN
...they probably can but they shouldn't and won't. I mean 1.5m retained is 7.5m. Let's look at the draft pick for the retention. The trade is a gamble for both teams IMO.
Quoting: TheEarthmaster
It depends on how badly he wants to get out of St. Louis...I agree.
