PATTYB NOTES: Tarasenko has all the tools to be an incredible forward in the NHL. Although his stats have dipped from last year, he was instrumental in the gold medal for Russia in the WJC. His play has very little to look down upon and his skill set is seemingly perfect for the NHL style. Also worth noting, unlike Russian Evgeny Kuznetsov, he has expressed many times that he really wants to play in the NHL and would like to play with the Blues ASAP.
