This was the right move at the right cost and at the right time.
after Thursday’s acquisition of Vladimir Tarasenko
Note to the coach: That means constructing a first line consisting of Tarasenko on the right, Mika Zibanejad in the middle and Artemi Panarin on the left and sticking with it. That also means inserting the left-hand-shooting Tarasenko onto the first power-play unit in place of Vincent Trocheck and reimaginingTarasenko is 31 and has a history as an elite goal-scorer who was a significant factor in the Blues’ 2019 Stanley Cup championship.
Panarin doesn’t particularly love change. But that’s been the hallmark of his season following sympatico centerman Ryan Strome’s free-agent exit to Anaheim. No. 10 has played on 13 different line combinations — five centered by Zibanejad, five centered by Trocheck and three centered by Filip Chytil. This is a pure rental deal with both Tarasenko and Mikkola — who will usurp Ben Harpur’s spot across from Braden Schneider on the third tandem — pending unrestricted free agents. The first-rounder that went to St. Louis had been intended as deadline currency from the moment Drury acquired it in September from Dallas in the exchange for Nils Lundkvist. Blais and Hunter were easily expendable.
