The Athletics Tarasenko trade idea

A second rounder please. Tarasenko is not a star, just an average first line winger

When healthy, he is a star. The only question mark is whether or not he can return to his previous form.

I find it unlikely that he will. He missed most of this season, and he doesn’t have the greatest numbers around the league to begin with. I’m okay with Domi and a second.

I bet there’s the possibility of modifying that trade abd adding Jake Allen to the deal. MTL would have the cap space IF they can unload Alzner in a deal similar to the Armia trade, OR with the Blues retaining some of Allen’s salary.

...but...all the Blues have to do is put him on LTIR, which gives them the opportunity to sign Pietrangelo, and then they can deal with the cap issues down the line...They proved through the regular season that they were just fine without him-why the sudden need to move him for Max Domi (Who will actually affect their cap immediately)?
