Pagnotta announced that the Hurricanes were ready to sign Tarasenko but at the last moment, he pulled out and switched agents.

Tarasenko's Fits
Now that Tarasenko is negotiating a new contract, there are a few teams interested.
Of those, contenders like Carolina and the Rangers are still quite interested. However, if he were to sign with a contender, he will likely have to take a pay cut to do so.
There are teams who could pay him a premium but it would mean they are not contending. We could see him go to a team like Chicago if he prioritizes money over winning.
Will Tarasenko sign with a contending team?
