Tarasenko joins the Minnesota Wild as their marquee offseason addition, aiming to reclaim elite scoring after a down year in Detroit. He impressed in camp, tallying four goals with Eriksson Ek and Ohgren on the second line, signaling an instant boost. He’ll mentor Danila Yurov as Kaprizov drives the play, and his one-year, $4.75 million deal is a high-reward, low-commitment bet on a veteran capable of pushing Minnesota deep into the playoffs.
