Tatar is going to end the trend of late UFA's wanting to sign with the Avs for 1 year cheap.
It’s a little bit of the chicken and the egg with Tatar. Gets 8mins a night next to Drouin and Ryjo, plus barely any PP time. Like what do you really expect is gonna happen.
Still has more points than Drouin too.
Sure. Personally just think that giving them all a lifeline by separating Mack and Mikko would be the better play.He's had opportunities on the top line as well though. And the issue with Tatar in particular is he doesn't look good either. It's one thing if you're just getting unlucky but playing well. It'd another if you look like shit while getting nothing done.
Take Drouin. His numbers aren't great but you can tell he really has bought into the way Bednar and this teams wants him to play. He's working hard at both ends of the ice and creating chances, the only one on that 2nd line quite frankly doing so.

So...
Nuke/Mack/Rants
Wood/Rosco/LOC
JD/RyJo/OO
Dermy/Olaf/Kriv

Depth!Our 3rd line with 2 guys that should actually be 4th liners, has become our 2nd line.
Not great, Bob!

Alright... what happened with this migration on images?
That's an amazing statement.
Depth!
(I sometimes wonder to myself if Bednar's ideal lineup isn't 3 straight up north/south lines who play physical and don't do anything besides hit and put puck on net... with one pure skill line)
Did they try turning it off and back on again?Image is showing now. Bit of a hiccup with the recent migration. Happened with the last one as well, it will sort itself out.
That's kinda what Lehky and Nuke are... skilled enough to be on a top 6 line, but play that north/south style. I'm sure Bednar would kill for a prime Kesler on this team. Problem is, Avs simply can't afford those guys.I would be ok with that tbh, if they had the 2nd line versions of those players playing on the 2nd line.
I bet Bednar would love to have a prime Ryan Kesler or David Backes on this team right now
Looks like Nuke is now sick, probably with whatever Mack had.
