Will Ottawa, Carolina, Florida or San Jose sign Vladimir Tarasenko to a contract?
Elliotte Friedman was on the NHL Network and stated that Vladimir Tarasenko is looking to sign a one-year contract with a team and bet on himself. The NHL salary cap is going up next year and Tarasenko is looking to be paid well one last time after this coming season.
Friedman went on to say in his TV hit that the Ottawa Senators, Carolina Hurricanes, San Jose Sharks along with the Florida Panthers all have interest in signing Tarasenko to a contract.
What are NHL fans saying about a Vladimir Tarasenko contract?
Can’t believe a rebuilding team like the San Jose Sharks would be in on Tarasenko. I see him signing with the Senators. Lots of offense to help him pad his stats for his next contract.
Honestly, I think the Chicago Blackhawks should sign Vladimir Tarasenko. Bedard needs good players to play with besides Taylor Hall.
Please come to Florida. We need you for another Stanley Cup run! If he wants the money on his next contract this line will help him out.
