I don't think of him as very injury prone. He had his shoulder issue that cost him like a full year that he came back from and posted over PPG. But otherwise getting hit in the hand with a puck and likely getting covid for a week, things that could happen to anyone, isn't something I would be particularly worried about, and obviously not for a one year contract.
So I think a great move by Ottawa, worst case scenario someone would be looking for a playoff goal scorer at the deadline and Tarasenko has 9 in his last 19 playoff games.
