VLADIMIR TARASENKO - Right Winger - 27 - $7.50MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2023-2024
LAST UPDATED 8/20/19
While Vladimir Tarasenko hasn't scored 40 goals in three seasons, and probably isn't the Ovechkin-lite elite prospect that he once was, he's still one of the game's most consistently good goal scorers. Tarasenko is supremely skilled. He's a great skater with great edgework, and can turn on a dime to be able to protect the puck. Tarasenko isn't the biggest forward, but his puck possession and skating allows him to create time and space with the puck to unleash his deadly shot. Tarasenko is more of a shooter than a passer, but he has phenomenal puck skills and great offensive instincts, so he can still set up others as he can finish chances himself. Taransenko is an elite offensive talent. Defensively, Tarasenko is still not incredible, but he is far better than he once was. He brings intelligence and speed to the back end, so while he may struggle in coverage he does have the capability to pickpocket an opponent for a puck here and there, making him a neutral defensive impact, rather than a negative one. Tarasenko is an elite goal scorer and offensive generator who can be a foundational pillar of a first line.
