The St. Louis Blues sole purpose is not to make Vladimir Tarasenko happy and that’s a good thing. If that was the case, they would have either signed Artemi Panarin from the start or traded the farm for him this summer. You cannot simply cater to your stars or you let them have too much power, which Tarasenko really does not even want.
That said, if you have a happy player, they are more likely to play better. We have to hope that Tarasenko is going to be happy with the team’s additions in 2018-19.
