Olympic champion Andrei Kovalenko appreciated the transition from two-time Stanley Cup winner Vladimir Tarasenko from Florida to Detroit.
In early July, Tarasenko, 32, signed a two-year deal with Detroit.
— It was clear that he did not come to Florida for a long time, because he did not sign a long-term contract. He needed to revive his career and himself a little after St. Louis. He rebooted himself, showed that he was a cup fighter, that he could play and win. Naturally, there was a huge demand for him, and the choice was already Tarasenko’s. I think the Detroit team is pretty good, it almost went through perestroika, where young people play, so he chose it for himself. This transition is just a plus for him, “Kovalyenko was quoted as saying by Soviet Sport.
Last season, Tarasenko won the Stanley Cup with Florida; in 2019, the Russian won the trophy with St. Louis.
