Vladimir Tarasenko has made it known he wants out of St. Louis. Will the New York Rangers be a contender for the elite, but often injured forward? It would be typical of the Blueshirts to invest in an aging player who has had chronic injuries, but would be a marquee acquisition. Does anyone remember Pavel Bure or Eric Lindros?
The Hockey News had this to say when they listed the Rangers as a possible destination:
“Owner James Dolan wants to the team to win now and acquiring Tarasenko would be a big splashy move for new GM Chris Drury and form quite the duo with Artemi Panarin.
