Tarasenko is a line driver. He would pot 50 playing with Johnny and is not happy in St. Louis,even though he is playing well.
Perunovich is leading the AHL in scoring as a defenseman. He could make Hanifin or Valimaki available for a big trade in the offseason, and has top four written all over him.
I only broach this because Tkachuk was so vocal during his brothers negotiations, but so quiet now. Dude makes me nervous.

Either way, he was a good story for this team. Finally a player that would get in someone's face. Difference maker. Too bad he had to play under the coaches he did until now. Could you imagine a focused and heavily relied on Tkachuk and Bennett under Sutter? What could of been.
