Sergei Konkov, two-time winner of the Gagarin Cup, believes that after the exchange of “Florida” of the Russian attacker Vladimir Tarasenko will have a chance to win the Stanley Cup.
On Tuesday, the Russian joined Florida following an exchange with Ottawa. Tarasenko will make his debut for the new club in the match against Philadelphia, which will take place on Thursday.
— “Ottawa” is not going anywhere – penultimate place in the Eastern Conference, and now there is an opportunity to show itself in the best team in the regular season. Most importantly, Florida took a step forward in the regular season. It seems to me that now they are repeating the Vegas story – first they did not reach the finals from first place, then they had a super reliable season and won the Stanley Cup.
Florida has a much better chance of competing and winning the Stanley Cup this season. This is a great opportunity for Tarasenko to win another trophy. As for the fourth club in two seasons, the trade with the Rangers was an attempt by the club to strengthen itself before the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup. And now Vladimir is not having the brightest season, the team is last, and Florida is looking for an opportunity to strengthen. And here any player over 30 years old will take advantage of this opportunity,” Konkov said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
This season, the 32-year-old forward played 57 regular season games in the NHL and scored 41 (17+24) points with a plus-13 rating.
