Tarasenko, arguably, has been one of the Senators forwards who has generally played to his identity and strengths this season.
He's a pending UFA who carries a cap hit of $5M
His contract is armed with a full no move clause - meaning he can chose his destination at the trade deadline
Continues to average 16 minutes per game TOI - deployed at even strength and the power-play.
Through 57GP he contributed 17G - 24A
15G - 18A at even strength.
Generally responsible defensively - certainly average at worst - a (+13) on the season
Pace remains NHL caliber. Still enough game to play in top six if required
Clearly not done producing offense. Could add a secondary layer for a contending team.
