Avs clearing cap for someone else?

 

[le_sean]

Avs didn’t want him in the playoffs anyways

 

[The Great Weal]

Thought you had to wait until January 1 to trade a UFA you sign in the offseason

 

[Bouboumaster]

Ouch

League just trying to keep up with Allvin

As an Avs fan I could tell Tatar was always trying, but he just got lost a bunch. Bednar's system was just a really bad fit for him. Good luck in Seattle, I'll gladly have the cap space back.

Tatar is that guy that is sometimes good but doesn't try a lot and it's kind of annoying. His play last postseason was completely unacceptable.

Avs selling high after Tatar increased his season goal total ∞% a couple games back.

drouin must be nervous right now

 

[LOFIN]

It just wasn't a fit with Tatar, maybe he himself asked for a trade.

Nah, on the contrary, he's starting to fit in. Looking better and better all the time. It's a league minimum deal anyway lol.

So much for the "steal" of UFA season.

 

[Bone Breaker]

great. now just need to find a moron buyer to take RyJo.

 

[Conbon]

Who is L2 RW now?

 

[Avs44]

Wasn't working out here at all. Free 5th rounder; hope he does well in Seattle and gets a decent contract next offseason. Won't miss him on the Avs.

 

[Frozen Failure]

Doesn't Seattle need to send Shane Wright back to somewhere?

He’s always been one of those guys that analytics have totally flattered. He’s been a good player, don’t get me wrong. But I definitely thought his possession play would fit well with Colorado, at least in the regular season.

He’s been useless. Could also just be a very, very finesse oriented player never know for grit has just aged out of his useful NHL lifespan. Drouin looks like a gritty power forward compared to Tatar.

It was a low risk move though. It didn’t work so the page is turned. The Avs scouts have absolutely zero chance of turning that 5th into anything useful (they will pick some obscure overage goalie from Russia or a BCHL defenseman not in anybody’s top 300) so they basically just have him away.

Tatar has been one of my favourite players since his heroic WJC run. Unfortunately, I wish him no success on the Kraken and hope they continue to struggle and become sellers.

 

[dirtydanglez]

have to imagine the avs will now use that cap elsewhere. maybe laughton or frost from philly

 

[Super Cake]

One of the worst trades the Knights have ever made was acquiring this guy.

Deals left and right baby

Who said it was a "steal"??? Avs fans???

Tatar has established journey man status.
