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

[McMetal]

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.

Yeah, our system definitely needs another Brandon Saigeon/Igor Shvyryov type of prospect added to it.

With our amateur scouts...I'd be thankful for even a Brandon Yip type of prospect.

I'm starting a Tatar trade tree, we will need to keep track for years.

Not really free… 525ish k 5th round pick.

Not really free… 525ish k 5th round pick.

Sounds like fair value.


But if you really want to get into semantics, I'd say its more like 250k since if we dont sign Tatar, somebody still take his roster spot each day.

Low risk signing but still a complete and utter failure.

And let’s face it they ain’t gonna flip that fifth into a worthwhile prospect either.

Bednar failed to incorporate him here properly than his (Tatar) talent failing us.

It'll honestly be really interesting to watch Tatar in Seattle. He's been fantastic the last two games for Seattle and the best player on the ice for them. The first game was rather rough.

Time will tell. I don’t know if it’s as much a coaching thing as it is a systems thing. He was a complete bust in Vegas too, and just kinda okay in NJ. But he thrived in Montreal and Detroit. He just seems to need the whole team to play a certain way in order for him to work.

Gallant hated Tatar probably worse than Bednar.... like a million times worse.

I thought he was solid in New Jersey, he just did his normal playoffs act. New Jersey wanted to even bring him back.

He's been stapled next to RyJo for most of his tenure in Colorado. No winger can perform next to RyJo.
