Tarasenko re-signs with the Blues (60 mill/8 years)

Recommended Posts

At first I thought that comparing Tarasenko to Datsyuk was ludicrous but then I looked at their careers and I don't think it's really that much of a stretch. Tarasenko is a unique player with a very, very high ceiling. He is young, talented and there is nothing to suggest that he is a liability in any way. Seems like a great deal to lock up a guy like that. Should be one of the most productive guys in the league for years to come IMO.

FWIW, Tarasenko has put up quite a bit more points than Datsyuk does at even strength. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see Tarasenko put up 90 points this season.

Have you seen some of Tarasenko's goals?

He's sure made some guys look bad.

Regardless, comparing him with Datsyuk is incredibly high praise and probably unfair wrt hockey IQ for anyone but Tarasenko is still only 23 and he's clear cut to me the best offensive player on St. Louis (who are very good) and should continue to improve.

He will be scary good in a couple years IMO.
