Rangers acquire former cup-winner Tarasenko in trade with Blues
in a trade that answers another big move by a rival and sets the stage for more to come before the March 3 deadline.
Tarasenko gives New York even more of an offensive boost in the hopes of making another deep playoff run following a surprise trip to the Eastern Conference Final. The 31-year-old Russian has 29 points in 38 games this season but is also a proven scorer who has surpassed 30 goals six times in his NHL career.
The Rangers targeted Tarasenko among the top wingers available, given the high asking price and salary cap ramifications of acquiring Meier or Chicago’s, the latter of whom still has not decided if he wants to be traded from the Blackhawks. St. Louis retained half of Tarasenko’s salary and $7.5 million cap hit, giving New York some flexibility to make more moves over the next three weeks.
Dealing Tarasenko could be the start of a selloff in St. Louis with the Blues on track to miss the playoffs for just the second time in 12 years. Captain Ryan O’Reilly and gritty forward Ivan Barbashev are also pending free agents who could be valuable rental pickups for contenders.
