Vladimir Tarasenko Broadway bound in blockbuster deal with the St. Louis Blues

Update: 2023-02-09

Description

Arthur and guest cohost, former Rangers goaltender Steve Valiquette give their thoughts on the Thursday’s acquisition of Vladimir Tarasenko and Niko Mikkola from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Sammy Blais, Hunter Skinner, a conditional 2023 1st round pick and a conditional 2024 4th round pick and discuss why it was important for GM Chris Drury to make the deal 11 days out from the NHL trade deadline, how Tarasenko potentially fits on the top power play unit, his friendship with Artemi Panarin, Niko Mikkola slotting in alongside Braden Schneider as the team’s 6th defenseman, and more.

Plus, the guys look back at Monday’s “game of the year”, a 5-4 overtime win over the Calgary Flames and Filip Chytil’s scorching play on the reunited Kid Line.
