Rapport de dépistage de Vladimir Tarasenko

In his first 45GP with Ottawa Tarasenko averaged 15:50 TOI - 13:25 ES - 2:23 PP - No PK
Curiously - in a five game segment before the All-Star break - his time on ice ranged from 12:30 - 17:30 - with his power-play role remaining intact but his even strength ice time declining
On balance he has had a productive year - 13G-20A (+11)
His compete ranges at times, but he has the skill and pace to impact the game offensively.
On the PP he's a threat rotating high off his strong side and directing pucks on net.
Although he doesn't play with a ton of physicality (only credited with 35 hits and 19 shot blocks) he's heavy set and sturdy along the wall and around the crease / hard to move off pucks with his strength and weight.
One year deal in Ottawa - Pending UFA - $5M AAV - Full no trade clause
Lands somewhere between a second and third line forward at this stage of his career. Element is offense - but he's been one of the better Senator forwards defensively this season.
