According to multiple sources the three teams with the most interest in Tarasenko are the three NY Metro Area teams. Mainly the Islanders and the Devils. The Rangers are more focused on the Eichel trade, and most feel they will likely miss out on Tarasenko in the process...
It sounds like the Devils, who are being ultra aggressive, are leading the way right now, while the Islanders are involved as well, but I keep hearing that Lou Lamoriello has another big name he is trying to trade for...not names Eichel or Tarasenko...
