The St. Louis Blues have decided to move on from star winger Vladimir Tarasenko ahead of next month's trade deadline.
Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff reported Thursday that the Blues agreed to trade Tarasenko to the New York Rangers. Compensation going from New York to St. Louis was not initially reported.
Tarasenko has often been the subject of trade rumors in recent years, but the Blues kept holding into them while they were in Stanley Cup contention.
The Blues aren't out of playoff contention, as they trail the final playoff spot in the Western Conference by nine games, but they have been disappointing this season with a 23-25-3 record.
