Rangers acquire Vladimir Tarasenko in trade with Blues
Associated PressVladimir Tarasenko is going to the New York Rangers in a trade that answers another big move by a rival and sets the stage for more to come before the March 3 deadline. The Rangers acquired the prolific scoring winger and defenseman Niko Mikkola from the St. Louis Blues on Thursday for conditional 2023 first- and 2024 fourth-round picks, forward Sammy Blais and prospect Hunter Skinner. St. Louis retained half of Tarasenko’s salary and $7.5 million cap hit, giving New York some flexibility to make more moves over the next three weeks. Asked if he was done trading, Blues general manager Doug Armstrong laughed and said, “Finished for tonight.” He declined to answer about the possibility of signing O’Reilly beyond this season. Obviously New York’s a marquee city for all players in the league, so I was comfortable that when I called, I would have been surprised if that had have been an issue.” Blues coach Craig Berube got to talk to Tarasenko after the trade and told him, “Good luck moving forward thanks for everything.” “Tough situation, for sure,” Berube told reporters after practice.
