Exactly. Good spot for him because Devils have no pressure to make the playoffs.
And Tatar will get to play with two gifted centers in either Hughes or Hischier.

To be fair to Hughes, he just his rookie year. So he should be better this year.
Also, those centers are talented. But the Devils have a lot more to do to become a better team.
Hamilton going there should help them too.

Over. He has been resting almost as long as his new teammates.
Unless injured, way over. Tuna is a good offensive player.
The guy came in and was basically one of our best players for 3 years in a row and people treat him like he's garbage!
Tatar will be great this year. He's going to a new team, they probably won't have much time in the playoffs so he won't have to deal with the whistleless refs, and he'll be motivated after sitting through the playoffs in spite of playing well when he did play.
Tatar really points out the flaws in the NHL, he plays a beautiful game, and he's ineffective in the playoffs. The NHL makes hockey ugly.

you almost always jump to conclusions, i have been a huge tuna fan for his entire tenure here, own his jersey, and have long defended him in debates.
new jersey is also one of the worst offensive teams in the league. I suspect he’ll struggle in their system.
not really sure you are even worth responding to in the first place, but there’s that.
Coaches tend to kill offensive systems, there aren't many who can cope. The stereotype is that the coach gets credit for defense, players get credit for offense. Many coaches, and most recent habs coaches other than Vigneault who was actually good, just focus on defense for their reputations. Notably Therrien was a way better coach when his confidence was low and he was not asserting his authority than when he thought he was a genius coach and insisted the guys driving the offense stop doing that and just bang the puck off the glass.
NJ is trying to move toward an offensive system, they have Hughes and other high picks who should be able to produce assuming all the offense wasn't coming from Caufield and that the coach doesn't muzzle them. If they let Tatar play a skill game he'll do well, if they insist that he play physically and safely he won't do much.
Good luck in your new jersey.
Anyway, always thought he was pretty darned skilled offensively 'cept for his shot. However, I am sorry that my most recent memories of him were turnovers in the neutral zone leading to goals for the opposition.

Tuna on his instagram:
I would like to thank the Habs for 3 great years. To all the fans - I felt your support from the day I arrived. The Tomas Tataaaaar video was an amazing hit. I loved it. To my two linemates Gally and Dano . Gally - It was fun teaching you how to play 7 Up and 7 down with the bad cards you always got. To Phil - you were the first NHL teammate I had to teach to speak English. That was fun. Thank you for the great memories and your friendship.
Pure class. You could see he really loved playing here.

Loved the What's Up commercials chant of his name (hillarious).....I did it on the main board so i may as well do it here too.......Tomas Tataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Spring in Fialta
A malign star kept him
Very gracious way for him to talk about playing here despite his exit. He has some good memories from here. Best of luck Tatar and if it ain't against us, hope you get to raise a Cup and be a big contributor to a winner. He came to us as a cap dump and look at what he gave us.

Really, really, really wanted him dealt at the 2020 TDL when it was a sellers market
No problem with fierce competition, but the refs are supposed to be there to make sure it’s hockey. The habs benefited this year but it doesn’t improve the game when big, slow guys can drag down the fast, skilled players.

I like Tatar, but bad asset management. Should have been moved along with many others. Our team looks worse going into next season in most areas. They need a huge breakout from all the young guys. We sat at 18th this year. I highly doubt we see the playoffs, and if so we snuck into last place, or another rule change to get us in.
Jump to conclusions? I just read this thread and it's the vibe I got.
Good riddance galore...
