The 2021 St. Louis Blues are struggling to score with any consistency and struggling to field a team with depth and NHL experience right now. We should all welcome the potential return of Vladimir Tarasenko with open arms, right?
As Lee Corso often said, not so fast my friend. In a vacuum, Tarasenko’s return could not come at a better time, but nothing exists in a vacuum except those things floating through deep outer space.
The reason this issue even comes up is because the team announced his return will be sooner rather than later.
