Major trade concluded and announced yesterday by the Rangers: bad news for Kent Hughes and the CH
As you know, we had another major NHL transaction yesterday, as star forward Vladimir Tarasenko was acquired by the New York Rangers.
He already knows his place in the lineup:
Kreider-Trocheck-Kravtsov
Lafreniere-Chytil-Kakko
Vesey-Goodrow-Leschyshyn
Solid! Anyway, let's recall the full trade, and more importantly, the return obtained for a Tarasenko:
- Vladimir Tarasenko (RW)
- Niko Mikkola (LHD)
At the Blues:
- Sammy Blais (LW)
- Hunter Skinner (RHD)
- Conditional 1st round pick 2023
- Conditional 4th round pick 2024
According to many experts, this major trade is bad news for the team we care about most, the Montreal Canadiens:
As you know, every trade influences the market and asking prices, and clearly, this trade involving Tarasenko will have a huge impact on the ongoing negotiations.
Recall that several excellent sources have reported that Kent Hughes turned down a first round pick for Josh Anderson.
Is Anderson still worth a first round pick today? Is a Joel Edmundson still worth a first round pick? To be continued.
Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton really want to go after another high pick in this solid 2023 draft, they've made that clear, but it's getting tougher.
The next few weeks could be very interesting.
