The St. Louis Blues always maintained that Vladimir Tarasenko might be able to return by March, but it might not have been until April. Yet, as time went on, many fans figured it would be closer to the end of the season than anyone wanted.
From a fear standpoint, it makes sense. Tarasenko has already had far too many shoulder issues for someone of his age. You don’t want him to push it too much, too early, and re-injure it, possibly ruining his career.
However, the Blues made a roster move that makes one wonder if a return is coming sooner rather than later.
