The Detroit Red Wings signed Vladimir Tarasenko to a two-year deal and traded Robby Fabbri to the Ducks.
Signing Tarasenko is the latest move in what's been a steady offseason for the Red Wings. It started June 30 when they re-signed three-time Stanley Cup winner and 2016 Hart Memorial Trophy recipientBut it also saw the Red Wings, a team that had 13 players with more than 10 goals, lose some of their firepower.
The multitude of moves left the Red Wings with more than $24 million in projected salary cap space and the reality they could do something later.Vladimir Tarasenko scored twice and recorded two assists in the Florida Panthers' seven-game win over the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup final.
Tarasenko then signed a one-year deal worth $5 million with the Senators in free agency. He was part of an offseason haul that was designed to help the Senators reach the playoffs for the first time since the 2016-17 season. He scored 17 goals and 41 points in 57 games only to watch the Senators struggle for consistency. They finished with the third-fewest points in the NHL but traded Tarasenko to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Panthers.
Tarasenko's impact was instant. He scored six goals and 14 points in 19 regular season games. That led to him scoring five goals and nine points in 24 playoff contests with the Panthers fending off theNow Tarasenko heads to one of the NHL's Original Six franchises that's looking for a way back into the playoffs.From the 1990-91 season to the 2015-16 season, the only time the Red Wings missed the playoffs came during the 2004-05 lockout.
