Athletistic/Hockey. The North American portal ESPN hailed the move of Russian striker Vladimir Tarasenko from St. Louis to the New York Rangers.

Tarasenko scored a goal against Seattle and was recognized as the game’s first star. VIDEO

“The trade of one of the most coveted forwards before the deadline was a move that signals serious playoff intentions for Rangers and also adds another forward to the top 6. A source told ESPN that New York was eyeing Patrick Kane and Timo Maier, but is worried about the impact of the salary cap and Kane’s hip injury. Acquiring Tarasenko, who already holds the Stanley Cup, will make the Rangers even more formidable for the rest of the season and possibly in the playoffs.

Coach of the Russian national hockey team: “The exchange of Tarasenko will do him good”
