Blues sign Vladimir Tarasenko to eight-year, $60M contract
This is a great contract for the Blues. They get a hall-of-famer in the making at a very affordable price.
Vlad is incredibly exciting to watch. Silky smooth hands and nice speed.
This contract puts him in the company of Phil Kessel and Corey Crawford, although they would likely command $10M/year if they were signing a new contract today.
