Friedman: Red Wings’ Tarasenko among names to watch ahead of NHL trade deadline
February 9, 2025
A little bit surprising to hear this. Certainly can’t expect the Wings would get much back in return. He has been a bit better as of late.

Please ship him off and don’t retain salary.
Who would want him? Why would we sell? We’re in the hunt for the wild card
He scored his 300th. Sell high
Trade that bitch
We would have to eat some salary, but given how things have not worked out well, it might be best to try and move him. Even if the return is a bag of pucks.
The cap space alone over this deadline or next year is worth a lot.
Ya I mean I can’t imagine Yzerman watches his play and is pleased probably thinking what a lot of us our he’s definitely a hole in the top 9. There’s a reason he’s still going on the 2nd instead of swapping off with Kane
Bye
So washed up. It’s sad.
No hunger in this guy. At least the call-ups come and play. They don’t mail it in.
this is just friedman spewing garbage, as usual
Future considerations and a free popcorn night at LCA incoming
Yes please ship him out!!
More like TaraSANKo LOL am I right?! Good god I have no friends.
This makes no sense.
Wings are in the hunt and buyers, and his trade value is at an all time low as well
I don’t see how he has value. He has another year at is cap hit.
Can’t imagine them giving him up before playoffs, but Tarasenko ++ for Sam Bennett would be interesting, as he still hasn’t signed an extension. Wings could use a dog like that.
If he was a few years younger I’d be all over trying to get him.
This is an important time of the year. Be a buyer.
I’d retain the max on him for the remainder of this season for futures honestly. Get him off the lineup, he isn’t adding anything.
Fine by me. This isn’t a sell to me because he’s been morbid. And he’s slow.
Would be nice to send him out for draft picks without retaining his salary so Shine can stay up 👀
Here’s how shine can still win

I dunno who would want him. He’s really *tanked* his value this season.
If there’s a chance of having Buchelnikov over here next year, keeping Tarasenko would help him adjust as he’s the only Russian on our roster.
they might be packaging some extra value the other way, let’s be honest.
To the blues: Tarasenko + Danielson + protected 1st + a cap dump
To the wings: Jordan Kyrou + a 2nd
Who says no?
If we can ship him out without retaining salary or giving up assets do it.
Tough sell
I feel like ‘senko and Kane are kind of competing for the same role. Idk what it is, but the juggling between them all season feels to have been more beneficial to kane, and senko just a step behind. Idk that a trade is the best move, but we need to upgrade our roster to hit that next rung; I think we keep one and pivot the other into someone either much faster, or much bigger with the same depth. It may come down to offseason and what kane is looking for next year before anything happens.
He has the goal scoring instincts but he has lost the speed and agility to actually get open and score
Good
If we could get a defenseman that is his equal on defense I would be good
