Player Discussion Tomas Tatar (Part Two-na)

[MasterD]

I think capitalizing on his play this season, relative age and when we will be competitive again, and the haul he can get us (1st and a prospect) would be worth considering trading him for sure

Exactly! I like him AND he's playing great, which is exactly why we should be trading him for players that would strengthen our future core. We're going nowhere with the current one

Although given this team's history, I'd rather get a young already drafted player that's on the right trajectory than a draft pick... Another Suzuki, you know. We suck at drafting

Tomas Tatar is a guy whos gonna produce well on a weak team (detroit/montreal). The moments hes gonna playing for a strong team (vegas). His TOI will decrease and his production too. So hes gonna be a third liner. And tatar on the 3rd line. He is soft so. To me, i would trade him because never im gonna pay 7millions by year for a complementary winger. I would rather pay a guy like jeff petry cause he eat a lots of minutes on defense, but for a winger like tatar. No i won’t. So thats the time to trade him

Don't worry, I have no hopes regarding this team for as long as MB keeps his job.

I dont want MB to make any big trades. I want him fired, him and CJ and Timmins (at least).... Let the new guys do the big moves.

 

[Canadienna]

Ok so we didn't move him which I wanted but he is pretty great

Should get more for Tatar next year. When they can sign and trade like Pageau returned.

There's no guarantee Tatar will want to sign an extension and it's fully understandable if he wants to hit UFA for the first time in his career on what's likely to be his last major contract.

It worked out with Pacioretty because Vegas is one of the most attractive destinations in the league with a great team that just went to the cup final. If the best offers on Tatar next year are coming from say...Edmonton and Buffalo it's entirely possible he would have no interest in signing an extension with those teams.

60 points so far this season. Great season for Tuna. We should sell high on him at the Draft.

Or keep him and trade Drouin instead.

Tatar is MVP on this team.

I really hope he hits 70. He's well on his way.

It's it out of line to say he's just as good as Pacioretty ever was? I know Max was the better scooter scorer, but man...

Tatar hasn't reached Max level. But that's ok. He's younger and good at what he does. Was a great trade for us. Suzuki was the key. I'd re-do the trade in a heart beat if it was just Max for Suzuki.

He's an excellent complementary piece. Will be interesting to see how many more seasons he can keep playing like this.

 

[Tyson]

Best point total of his career. Nicely done

 

[domiwroze]

Just keep the guy and trade Drouin. Should be a no brainer by now.

Update since the trade:

Max Pacioretty: 132GP 52 Goals 51 Assists 103 PTS

Tomas Tatar: 147 GP 47 Goals 72 assists 119 PTS

I'm not saying that Tatar is the better player, but he's certainly been very good in the last 2 years.

He is way more involved in the game than Patches was in his last couple of seasons in MTL with the burden of the "C" on his upper left chest.

Imagine doing another Pacioretty trade with Tatar.

 

[Canadienna]

Imagine doing another Pacioretty trade with Tatar.

Tatar for Puljujarvi+Broberg in the summer. Could turn out similar to Patches for Tatar+Suzuki.

 

[26Mats]

Imagine doing another Pacioretty trade with Tatar.

I would love it but, first of all thise trades only come along so often. 2nd, Tatar doesn't have the premium name Pacioretty had at the time. He was coming off a bad year. But at least McPhee still believed he could return to being an elite goal scorer.

This post is music to my ears.

I prefer Tatar. Pacioretty was too much of a floater.
