NHL Rumor: Red Wings could trade Vladimir Tarasenko as Steve Yzerman eyes aggressive offseason
NHL Rumor: Red Wings could trade Vladimir Tarasenko as Steve Yzerman eyes aggressive offseason (Image Source: Getty Images) The Detroit Red Wings are getting set for what might be a hectic summer. Coming off a ninth consecutive playoff miss, general manager Steve Yzerman seems poised to make significant changes both bringing players onto and possibly away from the roster. One of the names that has been floating around in trade rumors is veteran wing Vladimir Tarasenko. The Red Wings inducted him last summer with high expectations, but his inaugural season in Detroit did not turn out as expected. Washington Capitals would be a perfect landing place for Vladimir Tarasenko Washington Capitals may be interested in acquiring Tarasenko, as per NHL insider Michael DeRosa of NHLTradeRumors. With the Capitals needing scoring depth on the wing, Tarasenko could be a good addition. The Capitals might be a team to look at if Tarasenko is traded this summer," DeRosa said. "He could provide them with another good weapon for their power play and some depth in their top nine. Vladimir Tarasenko, a two-time Stanley Cup winner, had a subdued year by his standards. Nevertheless, the Capitals might be enhanced by his playoff ability and talent, particularly with the addition of Alex Ovechkin. If Detroit does deal with him, they won't probably ask for much. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [부산 한정] 빠진 치아 1개도 10개도 33만원에 임플란트 해드려요! 플란치과 더 알아보기 Undo The primary objective would be to shed his $4.75 million cap hit and rebuild their forward ranks.

"His game was probably better than the game he produced," said Yzerman. "He was frustrated, and I think that hurt him. But I think he can produce more for us." Yzerman further added that Tarasenko has an opportunity to become a top-six forward next season if he stays in Detroit. The expectation is that increased opportunities for scoring and a new start for the season may be able to get him back on track. The Red Wings are also likely to be busy in free agency. Yzerman firmly stated that he is ready to go after some big names that can help the team go to the next level. While they have a couple of rising stars in Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, and others leading the charge, Detroit is now looking for the right veterans to help them end their playoff drought. Whether that involves retaining or shipping out Tarasenko remains to be determined. One thing is certain, however: the Red Wings will not be silent this offseason.

Report: Red Wings Looking to Deal Tarasenko
Last summer, the Detroit Red Wings signed Vladimir Tarasenko to a two-year contract carrying a $4.75 million AAV. From the moment it was signed, there was a bit of a sense that neither party's first choice had been this union. Tarasenko had reportedly desired to remain a Florida Panther, with whom he captured the Stanley Cup as a trade deadline acquisition, but couldn't agree to terms on a new deal. Meanwhile, the Red Wings were linked to names like Steven Stamkos and Jacob Trouba, but those swings did not come to fruition. Instead, Tarasenko and Detroit found a mutual fit. However, 53 games into Tarasenko's tenure as a Red Wing, it's difficult to classify his fit and performance as anything other than underwhelming. He has seven goals and 15 assists. I don't think anybody expect Tarasenko to bring his 30-goal, much less 40-goal, form to Detroit, but pacing for 11 goals on the season is an unequivocal disappointment. Now, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman is reporting that the Red Wings may be looking to move the Russian winger ahead of the trade deadline next month. On the "Saturday Headlines" segment with Ron McLean, Friedman said: "So this one is a little bit of a surprise. Vladimir Tarasenko is in the first year of two in Detroit, and he's got a no trade clause this year, but I've heard there's been some noise around him. The Red Wings have gotten much better. They're in the race. A lot of their players have started to play better, but it's kind of struggled to be a fit. He scored today...I just heard, Ron, that in his particular case, there's been some conversation around him and we'll see how it all develops." On the one hand, the reasons why Detroit might be ready to move on from Tarasenko, and for similar reasons, Tarasenko himself may very well be after a fresh start (and therefore willing to waive his no trade clause). What is harder to conceive of is why a team would look at Tarasenko and wish to bring him in, not just for the forthcoming playoff push but for another season after at that $4.75 million AAV. Perhaps a team may believe it could put Tarasenko in better positions to succeed and he was a valuable piece for Florida during last spring's Cup run. Nonetheless, it's hard to see what team would be If Detroit does deal Tarasenko, it would be interesting to see whether the Red Wings then sought to add a veteran winger as a replacement or simply offered a longer runway to some of their Grand Rapids Griffins call-ups. At the end of the day, I would be surprised if Detroit can find a trade destination for Tarasenko at the deadline (though that's not to say it's impossible). However, he does look like an enticing candidate for a buy out come the summer. The Red Wings could buy out the second year of Tarasenko's deal at the cost of just $1,583,333 against the cap each of the following two seasons (i.e. a $3,166,667 for next season). Assuming he isn't dealt, that appears a reasonably likely outcome, considering Friedman is already reporting the Red Wings are looking for an off-ramp.

Report: Ex-Blues Star Being Discussed In Trade Talks
Former St. Louis Blues star Vladimir Tarasenko signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings this past off-season. This was after he had 23 goals, 55 points, and a plus-13 rating in 76 games split between the Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers this past season. Tarasenko has struggled this season with Detroit, posting seven goals, 15 assists, and a minus-8 rating in 53 games. Now, after being traded in back-to-back seasons, he is once again being brought up in the rumor mill. In the latest episode of Sportsnet's Saturday Headlines, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported that there have been some conversations surrounding Tarasenko in the trade market. "So, this one is a little bit of a surprise," Friedman said. "Vladimir Tarasenko is in the first year of two in Detroit, and he's got a no-trade clause this year. But I've heard there's been some noise around him. The Red Wings have gotten much better. They are in the race.

Schenn, Donatohttps:// — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 9, 2025 With Tarasenko having a full no-trade clause, he would need to give Detroit the green light on any potential trade. Starting next season, his NTC changes to an eight-team trade list. It will be fascinating to see what happens with Tarasenko and the Red Wings from here. In 644 games as a Blue over 11 seasons, he had 262 goals, 553 points, and a plus-57 rating. Stay updated with the most interesting Blues stories, analysis, breaking news and more!
