Confirmed with Link: Avs sign Tomas Tatar to 1-year, $1.5M deal

[Bill Peckerskull]

Any chance they can trade him back to NJ?

 

[Avs9296]

There was a time early in the third period that I literally forgot he was playing. Then I saw him with the puck curl back in his own zone and pass it off to his teammate that I was like holy shit he's in the lineup.

Crazy.

Isn't this every night? This guys abiliy to disappear in plain sight needs to be studied by the CIA

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Some of you wanted him for years and clamored for him every offseason.

This is what you get. Are you happy now?

It's truely special, lol. It's like he plays in a different dimension.

Talk about a dynamic skill.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Dudes in peak playoff form right now.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Bednar might already be over him.

Bednar might already be over him.

Bednar lasted longer than Gallant at least!

AFAIK it was only one person.

 

[Gruyeriev]

Bednar might already be over him.

Good how about Drouin?

 

[The Kingslayer]

This guy is done. He and Drouin can leave tomorrow.

 

[Alienblood]

AFAIK it was only one person.

exactly

 

[Tommy Shelby]

AFAIK it was only one person.

It was spearheaded by one person sure, but you know how it goes here, eventually people start parroting things when they see it posted enough times.

 

[McMetal]

Well, I predicted he would disappear when the playoffs came around. Looks like the only thing I was wrong about was that I was six months late.

Maybe he's doing a switcharoo and is going to win the Conn Smythe now.

 

[The Merchant]

So much for ERod 2.0

 

[chet1926]

I thought this signing was a nice move, man I was really wrong on this one.

He's f***ing terrible. Well you get what you pay for, at this point the Avs need to stop going after these type guys and just let guys like Tufte and Pavel get shots, it's cheaper and and they'll give more shits when they are in the lineup.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Would be nice to ship Tatar out and use his cap on Kane. Drouin has disappointed too but IMO shown more than Tatar (albeit with more opportunity). Plus at league min he's the better guy to hold until Kovalenko comes over

 

[pont]

Never been a big fan of Tartar, but with Colorado's cap situation it kinda made sense. I am willing to wait another 6 or so games to see if he starts to gel with the rest of the team, but I don't see much there at this point.

 

[MacKaRant]

My position hasn't changed. There isn't a guy in the league with a worst playoff record (biggest regular season and postseason disparity) than Tatar. Frozen out in the Vegas finals run, frozen out in the Montreal finals run, and did next to nothing with New Jersey last year. Puts us much closer to the cap and will force us to do cap juggling gymnastics when the injuries inevitably hit. Potentially makes a deadline trade for an actual asset harder as there will need to be more money shipped out to balance.

Looks like I was wrong. Tatar was easy to get rid of.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

He didn't work out nearly as well as I had hoped but he did basically gain us a free 5th round pick so not a bad end result.

I don't know man. We had to suffer through some bad plays and terrible consistency by him. I wouldn't consider our suffering free.

We're 17-9-2, 1st in the division and 5th in the league. We didn't suffer.

Maybe we didn't but I personally did watching him do literally nothing while on the ice.
