Actually the Detroit fans I know are fans of him. The team hasn't exactly upgraded since.
Vegas definitely doesn't miss him but they are also stacked with wingers.

Maybe quitting being the BFF's and having a constructive fight could be just what they need. The comforting “Even if we lose we still have each other” attitude is not what we need now. You can kiss all you want when the games are over.

Maybe Thomas and Phil can continue to be line mates next year.. some where else.

Hopefully that other team likes Gally a lot and our new GM isn't emotionally attached to him and let's them overpay

Yeah I don't see why people are so quick to want to dump him. If Price has shown us anything it's that one bad or even two bad seasons doesn't mean you've fallen off a cliff. If Tatar will sign a short cheap contract, or starts performing well in the playoffs, I'd welcome him back with open arms. Honestly what do we have to lose? We need all the help we can get.

He's thrived in the Montreal atmosphere and the fans. Saturday we'll have fans for the first time in over a year and that might give him a much needed shot in the arm. (no pun intended) He may have a big game.

All that gushy stuff is nice, but it's time for them to figure it out on the ice. How can he enjoy playing with them when they're not doing their job. Their job is to produce and they haven't done that in 5 games, when it matters most...

I can't believe it, but Staal is making me miss playoff Tatar...

Evans was more effective than Tuna on that line. And provides more flexibility in dressing an extra natural C, good PERRY and can be effective on different lines.
I'd take Leks and Evans over Tatar right now.
Maybe he is still hurting but hasn't done much in his recent PO history.

Evans has no offence and is contributing and Tatar while offensively talented was not contributing

I'd rather see Evans back at C & Tatar in over Staal. It's quite mind boggling that Staal's been this bad and yet to be scratched while we have better roster options sitting there.

If we can somehow unload Drouin as well as letting Tatar go this summer, we might be in a not-so-bad shape cap-wise.
Damn...lol we didn’t trade him at the trade deadline and now he’s not even playing in the playoffs? Great asset management.

I know it's the right decision to sit him, but you gotta feel for the guy. He's had those moments in the past when nothing was going for him, then he'd break it with multi points games. The fact that he got injuried and the dry spell just happened at the worst time.
Honestly, his first season here he was my MVP. He was very good at entering the zone, always contributing to the plays. If we had this Tatar now he would contribute for sure. Obviously, he's done here now. But I value his time here nevertheless.

He's only a place holder if we have a replacement. If we lose him and Danualt we've lost ever player that's scored 50pts for us besides Gallagher. And that's a scary thought if the kids can't hold together a sustainable pace and our current scoring issues.
I agree dump him immediately if he wants big money, but if wants a 1 year deal or something reasonable I'd rather have him in the line-up than the Staals and Froliks we keep picking up.

I'm not sure exactly why he's so ineffective in the playoffs. The last two years with us, Gallagher hasn't been 100%. So their line is off, since Gallagher is the catalyst and Tatar and Danault complement Gallagher well.
If we make it to the 2nd round and Gallagher is really back to 100%, perhaps he'll get a 2nd chance then.
But man have his puck handling skills and turnovers been horrendous lately - and he's been bringing no offense.

He's next level bad most of the year. He's had a few good moments this series though, while Tatar really just flounders.
