I'm still incredibly frustrated with him and I completely agree with this decision.I figured it was only a matter of time until Turk had enough of Tatar. Still, tough thing to do considering what they paid to get him.
Same mentality as day 1: no passengers.
Yeah we haven't needed him to match the physicality.Blues fan coming in peace. Where is Ryan Reaves? Is he sitting?
I figured you guys were so deep with talent you would only play him if you needed to push back against the Kings physical style.
Didn't even notice that!
Tatar is more of an investment for next year. He will fit in soon.
He needs to learn how to hit the net. He works hard and often finds himself in good positions but he can't even seem to convert easy chances most of the time. Let alone that contract of his. It was always a massive overpayment but I can see us already looking to cut bait.
I don't think it's going to come to that but right now he needs to be shooting way more than he has, accurate or not. Especially since he's the only scorer on his line.
Carpenter and Eakin could be creating more traffic in front for him as well.
I think it could be as simple as he's used to playing with Zetterberg.
