Avalanche Linked to Tarasenko in Potential Blockbuster Deal Ahead of Deadline

The Colorado Avalanche have cemented themselves as one of the NHL's best teams over the past 5 years. This year, they have an opportunity to continue their greatness, as they sit near the top of their conference.

The Avalanche have been linked to adding former 40-goal scorer Vladimir Tarasenko from the Ottawa Senators.

Tarasenko Likely Looking For Potential Cup Run As NHL Career Comes to a Close

Tarasenko has had a long career in the NHL, and while it is definitely not over yet, it is likely he is thinking about trying to win another Stanley Cup before he retires. His chances of that are much higher with the Colorado Avalanche than his current situation in Ottawa, as the Senators continue their rebuild.


The question becomes what is Tarasenko worth, with his age being a factor and that he is likely a rental for this season. We will see if Colorado is willing to pay the price to add some depth scoring to their roster.
