Tarasenko plus Neighbors maybe?
The trade floated by the afternoon show in St. Louis before the season started... Tkachuk for :

Tarasenko
Perunovich (Hobey Baker winner and currently 9 points in 5 games as a D in AHL)
conditional 2022 first

I think that boat has sailed, but if you add Zadorov (the Blues are said to be looking for a defensive LD) and retain whatever salary you need to, to make it work, I think that you can call that boat back to port. Tarasenko is playing great hockey right now, but the rift with management was health and safety related, and that isn't getting fixed.
