A proven scorer and point getter is why Vladimir Tarasenko is worth the contract. Not to mention the winning pedigree and veteran experience that he brings. Much like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/palaton01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-06-19_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ondrej Palat<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/devils\/\" target=\"_self\">New Jersey Devils<\/a>, Tarasenko provides the same veteran presence and value. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What This Means For Tarasenko<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After being in the rumour mill for multiple seasons with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/blues\/\" target=\"_self\">St Louis Blues<\/a>, Tarasenko will be in Ottawa for now. Wondering where he would play next, Tarasenko has his new contract in place. With that being said, he can buckle down and play hockey. Even though he said he wanted to remain in New York, that didn&#8217;t work out. However, being able to sign in another place that he wanted to be is the next best thing for him and his family. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What This Means For The Team<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Senators are getting quality talent as well as a proven player. This Vladimir Tarasenko contract is the perfect deal for the team and the player. Given their respective window for contending, adding depth is perfect for this team. You can never have too much depth, especially when you are trying to contend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tarasenko did bounce back well over the past two seasons after shoulder problems. In fact, Tarasenko is a six-time 30-goal scorer while hitting the 40-goal mark once. This is a high addition to provide depth scoring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Main Photo: Danny Wild-USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vladimir Tarasenko has himself a new contract.
