Exchange of a Russian hockey player Vladimir Tarasenko from the St. Louis Blues to New York Rangers – a very successful deal, the agent of the hockey player Alexei Dementiev told Metaratings.ru.
Tarasenko made his debut for the Rangers in the NHL regular season game with the Seattle Kraken (6:3), in which he scored a goal.
Wladimir scored on his debut for Rangers. Can we now say that this is definitely a successful trade for Tarasenko?
– With the way the stands chanted his name, then of course it’s a bargain. Rangers fans are a distinct category of people who understand and understand hockey. You should also understand that Vladimir entered the Original Six organization – these were the six clubs that started the NHL. The New York Rangers are one of them, so there’s no doubt that it’s a bargain.
– How did the teammates accept Tarasenko in the new club?
– He has a lot of friends there and good friends play, including Panarin and Shesterkin. In general, there were no problems with the transition. He crossed paths with All-Star Game players. There could be no problem here.
– Today he came out on the front line with Artemy Panarin – is this what Tarasenko himself wanted?
It’s what everyone wanted to see. From the first time, when they played in the first three Tarasenko-Panarin-Kuznetsov, it was clear how well they understood each other. If you remember Buffalo’s golden youth team (we’re talking about the final of the World Hockey Championship among youth teams in 2011 – approximately), then Bragin only made these three in the last game , then the guys decided the outcome of the match against the Canadian team. You yourself saw that today, in the first half, Tarasenko scored on Panarin’s magnificent pass. Everything was read there – that Vladimir was aiming for a nickel, and no matter how difficult it was for Panarin, he made this transfer, and no matter how uncomfortable Tarasenko was, he gave up this puck.
– Now the Rangers have an increased chance of winning the Stanley Cup?
Hypothetically, yes. We must understand that there are objective and subjective factors, God bless everyone. If all goes well, it will be a very serious backlog.
– Did Vladimir have other options to pursue his career outside of Rangers?
— Yes, there were, there are always options. We have to focus on his arrival at Rangers and it’s a very good deal.
Vladimir Tarasenko has been playing in St. Louis since 2013. In 11 seasons, he scored 553 (262 assists 291) points in 664 games with 60 (41 assists 19) points in 90 playoff games. Louis, along with Tarasenko, won the Stanley Cup in 2019. This season, Tarasenko scored 29 (10+19) points in 38 games.
