2010 prospect: Vladimir Tarasenko compilation

[Evenflowist314]

Gotta start saving for a jersey. I wanna see this kid play, dammit!

VT says: What Goalie?

[ajxg88]

future russian superstar believe me !

[drumguyrobc]

Scouts are saying he's better than Ovechkin was coming up! Let's Go Blues!!

[ATAS987654321]

@drumguyrobc That's an exaggeration, but he's a talented player for sure. The best part is his mindset. He was a real captain to the team at WJC.

[drumguyrobc]

@ATAS987654321 No really, the scouts are saying that when Ovechkin was at the same level as Tarasenko, he wasn't as good. Not just blowing smoke, that's what Sports Center reported. But I'm definitely hopeful that he's on his way.

CANT WAIT FOR NEXT SEASON!! LETS GO BLUES!!!!!!!

[curry67]

[Lundqvist3035]

how the rangers passed on him, fucking gay

[TheKitzik]

Тарасенко чемпион!

[chicken12323]

i know the Rangers were in desperate need of a Dylan McIlrath and that those don't come along too often, but man why didn't we take Tarasenko with the 10th pick like everyone thought we were going to. Man I would love to have this kid. We already have a great defense corps brewing in Hartford/Connecticut. Blues be happy with him, as you barely got him lol. i wish the Rangers had

[Lundqvist3035]

@chicken12323 you are 100% right, there will be another big D man in drafts and later rounds

[TheNannersaur]

GOOOO BLUES!!!

[sondybeaches]

This guy looks like hes ready now. Blues steal the top russian goal scorer at 17th overall. Love it!!!

[DJObelix]

GO BLUES!!! Love that Blues got Tarasenko. He WANTS to play NHL and good to see some fresh european blood in franchise (along with Polak, Berglund and hopefully Halak)

[ThEBiGBiRd333]

he was suppose to be the best player supposely besides taylor and tyler. but he is the 2nd best russian out there

[lobomuerto11]

@ThEBiGBiRd333 2nd best russian in the draft? who's the 1st?

[ATAS987654321]

@lobomuerto11 The last goal in this vid. The beauty. All made by the 8 Burmistrov. He's gone 8th and worth it.

[TimDJ84]

Disagree, he reads well and has a damn good shot but Tarasenko is exceptionally skilled, passes well, is a good finisher and gets back hard in the defensive zone. Many outlets have Tarasenko as the third best forward in the draft.

[makdak420]

hes with the blues now bitches!!!!!!

[Livefree76]

Selected by the St. Louis Blues at 16. Blues traded for the spot to pick him. He was in attendance so came up to the stage for the photo op.

[xSEMPERFlx]

hes predicted to go 19th overall

and my Avs got 17th so hopefully we pick him up we need a skilled LW to go with Duchene

[dway72]

this kid is sick...how are all the draft experts pinning him going 18-24

I say top 10.

[nhldraftvideo]

@dway72 russian factor 

[bwalter32]

@dway72 He's signed in the KHL for the next 2 years. There are basically no rules or guidelines in place for KHL to NHL transfer. And KHL teams will try anything to keep their players there. Such as signing young players to longer deals. Look up how Malkin came over. He basically had to flee out of Russia to come play for the Pens.

[TimDJ84]

@bwalter32 He is in contract for 1 year and he told the Russian media, as told by a Russian on the Blues forums, that he wants to play in the NHL. He said no disrespect, but the best players are in America and thats his dream. He said he may even want to come inot camp this year, he will make his decision by July 12th.

[ZAHighland]

@dway72 they're afraid he won't come over

[phoon420]

@dway72 nice call on top 10 lol

[Mintos77]

what's the song

[nhldraftvideo]

@Mintos77 no turning back by Stratovarius
