The New York Rangers have acquired four-time NHL All-Star Vladimir Tarasenko from the St. Louis Blues.
The Rangers did more business with the Blues Thursday afternoon, this time as buyers in acquiring forward Vladimir Tarasenko and defenseman Niko Mikkola in exchange for a conditional 2023 first-round pick, a conditional 2024 fourth-round pick, Sammy Blais and prospect Hunter Skinner, the team announced.
By waiving defenseman Libor Hajek on Thursday as well, the Rangers freed up even more cap space to accommodate Tarasenko and Mikkola’s $1.9 million cap hit. Tarasenko may be in a down year in terms of offensive production, but that’s likely a testament to the Blues’ overall struggles this season. With 10 goals and 19 assists in 38 games, the 31-year-old is still within the Blues’ top five point producers. In 2021-22, coming off of a slew of shoulder surgeries, Tarasenko posted a career high of 82 points with 34 goals and 48 assists.
