i don't think we get better by trading tatar.
holland probably doesn't want to add enough pieces (mantha, ouellet, 2015 1st) to land top pairing defenseman, assuming that top pairing defenseman even is available.
tatar is also arguably our best goal scorer. we have no one to replace him. we aren't going to keep scoring like this (even with tatar on the roster).
maybe in the offseason and then you can add someone at UFA to replace him and/or mantha and pulks might be able to do it.
tatar will be cheaper than nyquist after this season for 2 more years, looks to be about as good and has less value.
I will take some heat for this comment, but I would rather let Nyquist go over Tatar. That being said, I don't want to lose either, I think they are on the path to being very good NHL scorers. The way Tatar is scoring right now is pretty impressive. He is just entering his prime too. I would hate to lose him for a year and a half of Keith Yandle.
