Confirmed Trade: [SEA/COL] Tomas Tatar for 2024 5th round pick

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Avs didn’t want him in the playoffs anyways

If you make him a healthy scratch you get to the finals. It's like a weird cheat.

I was about to come in and shit on the Kraken for providing cap relief to the Devils without making it worth Seattle's while thinking Tatar makes like $4 million against the cap. Surprised to see he only makes $1.5 mil. Nothing to lose here for the Kraken.

Hi, Rip van Winkle.

You're so last year...

I'm sure tatar sauce tastes better on king salmon than on Rocky Mountain oysters.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

So much for the "steal" of UFA season.

Free pick.

 

[biturbo19]

Free pick.

Cost them $1.5M on the cap every day they gambled on it.

 

[forsbergavs32]

The effort was there, but he just never really fit on the Avs.

 

[Kiss Under the Guy]

I don't understand this player. He was marvelous in season for the habs, had good stats with other teams, but in the playoffs, it felt like coaches would go out of their way to insult him publicly - for his whole career.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Kinda liked him on Detroit, he was a bright spot on a pretty awful squad back then. The value that came from Vegas for him couldn't be refused though, and he hasn't really managed to land anywhere long-term since. Hope he can find a spot in Seattle.

 

[Petes2424]

Played a total of 27 games for Colorado, beating his record of only playing 28 games with Vegas….

Avs clearing cap for someone else?

For Berggren, I think

 

[John Mandalorian]

Happy that management made the right business move and shipped him out. Clearly it wasn't working. Most GMs wouldn't swallow their pride after a signing a player and trading him just 29 games later. Glad they are business > feelings, like moving on from EJ.

Perhaps but it also doesn’t seem like Bednar and MacFarland are aligned a lot of the time. Maybe that would be useful before making roster moves?

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

drouin must be nervous right now

Of what? he has to perform even lesserest... Is that now a word?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Drouin has actually been really good though. He's not in any danger.

Cost them $1.5M on the cap every day they gambled on it.

I think its LTIR cap so it doesnt accumulate and we just got the cap back anyways for a move at the deadline.

Happy with this trade - another go to Puckdoku player.

 

[Charlie Conway]

So much for the "steal" of UFA season.

The real steal is the friends we made along the way.

 

[Michoulicious]

Cheap depth.

 

[ottawah]

Likely to help with my puckdoku. Tatar has been passed around like a 40 ouncer at a frat party .....

 

[BergyWho37]

Hmm other players might think twice before signing here if you’re traded so quickly but hey maybe it was his idea.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

It was funny seeing Devils fans slowly realize that this guy can't compete in the playoffs, they were super defensive of him during round 1 and quickly realized what happened with Vegas and Montreal wasn't just coincidence

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Tatar belongs by the ocean. Good move for Seattle, his sauce will serve them well as he chips in on offense and fishes for a new deal to stay in the league.

i think a lot of devils fans have had their eyes opened since then.

tatar should help seattle fight for a playoff spot but if they get in i wouldnt have high expectations for tatar.

Will Tatar get benched in the playoffs Again?

0 points in 5 games. I love Tatar, but sometimes the narrative is correct. This guy can't compete in the playoffs for whatever reason. As we all know he was great in the regular season, but was benched during consecutive cup runs for Vegas and Montreal
