On CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada’s “Saturday Headlines,” Elliotte Friedman tells Ron MacLean that two players to keep an eye on are the Islanders’ Brock Nelson, Brayden Schenn, Ryan Donato and one Red Wings forward Vladimir Tarasenko.
Friedman says, at the 2:35 mark, “Yeah, so this one is a little bit of a surprise, you know Vladimir Tarasenko, is in the first year of two in Detroit, and he’s got a no-trade clause this year, but I ave heard there’s been some noise around him, the Red Wings have gotten much better, they’re in the race, a lot of their players have started to play better better, but it’s kind of struggled to be a fit. He scored today, they got ‘Vasilevskiy’ed,’ I know they out-shot the Lightning, but he beat them, and I’ve just heard Ron, that in his case, there’s been some conversation around him, and we’ll just see how it develops.”
