The Blues don’t exactly have a rich history when it comes to European talent. Pavol Demitra immediately comes to mind, but beyond that most of the best talent to wear the Note has been from outside of Europe.
Where does Tarasenko stack up against the other European players in Blues history? Pretty close to the top.

Patrik Berglund is the third-best European player in franchise history? That might speak to the generally poor drafting and player development of European skaters by the Blues, but it’s also ammo for the Berglund supporters.
Assuming he remains healthy, Tarasenko should have no issue ascending this list.
