Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic: (mailbag) The Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers could still be interested in Vladimir Tarasenko. If the Blues were willing to retain some salary they likely could trade him. If they don’t retain money, they’ll likely will not be able to trade him.
The New York Islanders could still be interested but nobody knows how much salary cap space they have available since they haven’t really released any signings.
Do believe that Tarasenko will be traded before the start of the season. Some people believe it’s 50-50 that they will trade him but thinks it’s higher.
