Speculation: Where is Tatar going to go?

[Flair Hay]

Nothing wrong with a two way guy that puts up less points in the post season. It just means you want him on the 4th line, not the 2nd or 3rd.

Doubt he gets above $3M AAV

If the Canucks have any space left for him after Hughes, Pettersson and Dickinson all have deals he could be a great 3rd line option on a one year show me deal. Gives us strong depth if we decide to move Miller to the 3rd line, also let's us ease Podkolzin in to the roster have him battle for a 3rd line role against Dickinson/Motte/Petan(?)/Tatar instead of the one were currently gifting him. Also if Tatar has chemistry with Pettersson or Horvat it just makes us that much more deeper.

Hoglander Pettersson Boeser
Pearson Horvat Garland
Motte Miller Tatar/Podkolzin
Highmore Dickinson Sutter
Di Guesppe Dowling MackEwan
Petan

I'm not worried about his playoffs resume, I'd rather get into the playoffs first.

Not Montreal, not Vegas. That leaves us with 30 possibilities in the NHL

I was with you until you said "not a contender to win".

When you have Matthews Tavares, Marner, Nylander, and Rielly you are always a contender to win.

The key is finding the right pieces around them, can Kerfoot, Bunting, Ritchie and Kase be those pieces? Well Kerfoot can we know that he's shown that the others? that remains to be seen

I was with you until you said "you are always a contender to win". I would've added "in the regular season"

 

[sxvnert]

Once he accepts a 1yr show me contract he'll find tons of teams willing to sign him.

 

[neelynugs]

after the devils strike out on other guys, he's fine as a fallback top 9 W

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Anything more than one year and I have no interest.

 

[Scoresberg]

Wouldn't mind him on the Preds if he comes in cheap. On a one-year deal? Heck yeah.
