Vladimir Tarasenko Signing

i agree hes gotta be better than last year but tbh how much faith can we put in him at 32 yo man? @section7edm

@section7edm dont count him out yet he played some pretty big games for stl in the past and has been productive before man

yeah dont count him out yet, hes been productive for a long time now and tarasenko is tarasenko imo, whatever team he's on he brings that kind of edge @Oilers4Life

yeah and i think age is a factor, tbh his pace last season was noticeably slower compared to some of those highlight reel years man @jake_oilers

@jake_oilers: yeah pace can be deceiving man, he's always gonna be that guy who finds ways to score even when hes not lighting it up otherwise imo @Oilers4Life

he's still got that magic ability to conjure up a goal when you need him most man ngl his career numbers arent lying

ngl i see where he could be that guy again man, but idk if hes still a top 6 forward at this point honestly @jake_oilers seems like hed take up a lot of cap space for his expected output imo

tarasenko still got that clutch gene and his career numbers arent nothing to sneeze at tbh @section7edm i think he's worth the cap space if theyre trying to bring some veteran leadership in man
