Shane O’Brien on SXM NHL Network radio talking to Steve Kouleas on “The Power Play” mentions Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk wouldn’t mind a trade out of Calgary to the St. Louis Blues. O’Brien mentions Vladimir Tarasenko potentially going the other way.

** NHLRumors.com transcription (clip posted by @PaulGB_ below)

Kouleas asks about Tarasenko leaving St. Louis is he’s healthy. O’Brien:

“I think his time’s up.

I got a little rumor here I guess Koul’s, and for Dwayne. I got Tarasenko going to Calgary for Tkachuk, I heard Tkachuk wants out of Calgary. Tarasenko’s time’s up there. I think that’s a trade that could happen.

And obviously, Seattle’s an expansion team, any time you can get a guy like Tarasenko and as an expansion team, the way he shoots the puck, it could happen. But I think there could be a trade in the works there.”

Kouleas jumps in with ‘Tkachuk wants out of Calgary?’ ‘He doesn’t like Sutter?’ ‘Him and Gaudreau are gone?’

O’Brien:

“I’m hearing more on the end that he wants to be, he wants to play in St. Louis, his hometown, and I just think the time is for a change in Calgary.

Is it going to happen? I don’t know but I just heard some rumblings that it could be a Tkachuk for Tarasenko thing, and that’s in the silly season as you call it Koul’s.”

Kouleas – so you’re hearing those two names, and the contracts match. Tkuchuk is younger and I think the Blues would have to give up something else too. Questions about Tarasenko’s shoulder.

Koulas continues:

“I’d ask for Jordan Kyrou, right. Of course they could ask for Parayko. I guess Parayko and Vladdy gets it done. I don’t know if that’s fair for not. Given a choice I’d want Tkachuk to be my captain and everything else.

So, he wants to go back to St. Louis. Well, well, well. That’s a big motza ball you threw out there my friend.”

O’Brien:

“Hey, it’s just some of the rumors I’m hearing on the streets from some ex-players that I know throughout the game. I don’t know if it will happen or not but I have heard it numerous times.”

Here is where the Matthew Tkachuk rumours started yesterday. Shane O’Brien mentions he’s heard Tkachuk wants to play in St. Louis and that a deal for Tarasenko could make sense. #CofRed #stlblues pic.twitter.com/D8s2avrjjY
