Tarasenko has officially requested a trade from the club, multiple sources have told The Athletic.
The right winger asked for the move earlier this offseason, and Blues general manager Doug Armstrong is currently attempting to facilitate the deal, according to league and team sources. There is no apparent timetable for a move, but the expectation is that it could happen before the start of the 2021-22 season.

per the article Tarasenko is unhappy as to how the Blues handled his shoulder injury. also per the article Tarasenko has provided a list of 10 teams but with cap issues it might be difficult to accommodate his choices.
Also on Tkachuk from the article:
Quote:
Do the Blues dream big and go after Calgary’s Matthew Tkachuk?
Sources say the club has interest in Tkachuk, the oldest son of former Blues player Keith Tkachuk, who is a college scout for the team. The 23-year-old may not be available now, but he has just one year left on his three-year, $21 million contract, after which he’ll be a restricted free agent and could force the Flames’ hand to trade him before he becomes unrestricted.
According to sources, it would take much more than Tarasenko to pry Tkachuk away Calgary, and that’s if Tarasenko would even waive his no-trade clause to go to western Canada, which isn’t a guarantee.
