SKA Forward Vladimir Tarasenko, (and the Russian team), decided to pursue a career in the "St. Louis". Guide army club spared no effort to keep a rising star in the NHL. The Novosibirsk hockey player was offered a two-year contract under which he would become one of the highest paid players in the league, but he refused. In 2010, Tarasenko was selected by "St. Louis" in the first round of the NHL as the 16th player chosen. (Michael Zislis)
