IN “New York Rangers ” in the front Vladimir Tarasenko will have a better chance of winning the Stanley Cup than in “Saint Louis “, believes the hockey official Leonid Weisfeld .
On Thursday, the 31-year-old Russian joined the St. Louis Rangers on a trade.
– How do you assess Tarasenko’s transition?
– As far as I know, Tarasenko has been asking for a trade for a long time. He will be comfortable with the Rangers. First, the city, second, Panarin. Or it could be the other way around – first, Panarin, and second, the city. The news is not unexpected, it is expected. Tarasenko wanted to leave for two years.
Will Tarasenko have more chances of success at Rangers?
– I think it’s just a new challenge for Vladimir. I can’t say the Rangers have a lot of chances to win the Stanley Cup, but even more than St. Louis,” Weisfeld told .
Tarasenko has been playing for St. Louis since 2013, in the 2018/19 season he won the Stanley Cup. In total, Tarasenko played 644 matches for the Blues, scored 553 points (262 goals + 291 assists). In the playoffs, the Russian has scored 41 goals and provided 19 assists in 90 playoff appearances.
