Teams growing frustrated with the Tarasenko Situation. One team described the price as a “moving target” while the Flyers got tired of the back and forth and turned to Columbus where the Voracek for Atkinson deal came together easily and quickly.

Why would any Intelligent GM have any Interest In Tarasenko?

You’d have to trust that 3rd times a charm on that shoulder.

Even if they’re saying it’s repaired, well, is it? That’s a lot in two years on the same concern. Rumor is Tarasenko was pretty unpleased with the med staff, so how can we be sure?

I’m sure a lot of GMs would take a shot if he was cheap, but that just isn’t the case.

My guess is they want quarters on the dollar instead of the dimes they’re being offered.

But who knows? Can only speculate.

This story sounds like more third grade bullish/t put out by Tarasenko’s agent. Armstrong isn’t exactly a new GM, so I doubt very much he is jerking the price around and messing with teams. Not hearing this “rumor” anywhere else, for what it’s worth.

Sounds to me like this is going to uglier before it gets better.

Perhaps Tarasenko's agent might want to have a frank discussion with both Vladamir and the Blues.

How the Flyers/Tarasenko trade fell through is kind of beyond me......

Could have seen the Flyers offering Voracek for Tarasrnko, but the Blues not wanting the longer contract without additional incentive and the Flyers feeling that hey, healthy Tarasenko that’s not a problem, but 3 shoulder surgeries in a row Tarasenko? That’s different.

The Flyers got tired of the back and forth on Tarasenko. So they traded everything they had for Risto Risto. No traction on Eichel. Landeskog is a possibility. MAF is on their radar. Hi kids.

It's really funny how all this crap with Tarasenko started when he changed agents! He decided to dump Mike Luit for this IDIOT who is Panarin's agent. If you look at history with Panarin and his agent, he went from Chicago to Columbus with bull dung about his wife's acting and modeling career, because Bowman was not going to put up with it! Now, another Russian has a female dog about a midwest city and wants out. If I was Doug Armstrong I would tell him where he is going or send him to Siberia for the remaining 2 years left!

Glad Tarasenko isn’t on the flyers.

If his shoulder is healthy, he's quite the asset. If he could be had for not an arm and a leg, probably worth the risk.
