Goaltender Tarasov Signs New Deal To Remain In Columbus As A Blue Jacket! 6/15/22
Sorry all, I'm in the group of people which have lost power now twice. This news broke during the second time. Now to the good news today! Danill Tarasov, come on down, you're the next player signed this off season to the Columbus Blue Jackets! This is the second main Goaltender signed back to the team, following Joonas Korpisalo, who was signed back in May. The main difference is the time signed back, Korpisalo got 1 year for $1 Million, whereas Tarasov has a solid 3 year contract, which he'll be paid a nice 3.15 Million.
The young Tarasov showed some incredible promise this season. He only started 4 games total, the 2 he finished we losses for the Blue Jackets. If not for season-ending hip surgery in December 2021, he might have played more. You must look beyond those numbers though to see the true promise this young 23-year-old goaltender has. In his time on the ice his Goals Against Average was an impressive 2.40%, while his Save Percentage was a top notch .937. With those numbers it's obvious why a new contract for him was vital to this teams future.
I for one can't wait to see what number 40 does in the 2022-23 NHL Season and beyond. Just as Kekalainen is too. "Daniil is a big, athletic goaltender who exhibits great poise and calmness in net. We were very impressed with his play last season before he was injured and are excited to see him continue to develop and grow in the years ahead." (Via Jeff Svoboda on Twitter)
Welcome back, Tarasov!
