Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic: Multiple sources have said that St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko has officially requested a trade. The request came earlier this offseason.
League and team sources are saying the Blues GM Doug Armstrong is trying to find a deal.
The 29-year old Tarasenko has two years left on his deal at a $7.5 million salary cap and a full no-trade clause. His salary is $9.5 million next year and then $5.5 million during his final year.
Sources are saying that Tarasenko isn’t happy with shoulder surgeries he had in 2018 and 2019 that were done by Blues physicians.
