I honestly don't know why people don't talk about his PLUS 41 in the 22/23 season. That's major and I've I'm not mistaken that led the team, that's a huge add for the current team glad to have him back.
I remember that last playoff run, he wasn't very productive at all. Thats why they walked away from re-signing him. During the year he was good though.
@@THEHOCKEYSKATEDOWN Look at his career numbers. I hate when people only remember 1 playoff and overly judge a player on that basis, but, with him it's every playoff year and the sample size is big enough.
I so want Tarasenko, I thought hik and Hughes would have something together, but not looking like that now, thought JVR too, but Tatar got along great with everyone, easy transition
Yeah I agree with everything said. Tatar was a 20 goal guy for us and a legitimate leadership guy. 2 way guy - he was a +41 for us in his last season and they let him go. His last 2 seasons he didn't fit in well I guess with the Avs or Kraken. He has 220 career goals and 15 seasons already but worth a shot and the price is right. I had always wanted Pacioretty but after 17 seasons and his recent injuries and low stats he's probably fully cooked.
I think hes done Rob, from doing the lines on paper there was one spot open and Tatar was signed. I really want Tarasenko, but not looking like that now, unless a trade is made
Dude played well for us and got focused on money. Tried to leave to get more money and failed. Why he didn’t just resign last season is beyond me. Imo as a bottom 6 ageing forward. If you find a home, stay there tuna.
Don't like it. He wasn't worth the 1.5 million he got paid last year. He was abysmal. Why is he getting 1.8 here? He should be getting 875k tops. Poor attempt by Fitz to try and cover for the fact that he failed to deliver the impact forward that we need in the top 6. This isn't the answer.
And 1.8 after a bad year too, maybe he had other offers and that drive it up a bit. He works well with the guys in the room, I like Tatar but I prefer him more in a 3rd line role, I wanted Tarasenko, but maybe Fitzgerald is working on a trade, who knows
NOT a top 6 player and basically a throw-away signing. Would have rather seen a young kid like Graeme Clarke take that spot. But Fitz shipped our best forward prospects for nothing, so we have to sign an old retred to appease the fan base after such a brutal FA period. NJ picked up the league's trash It will be fun however, watching Tuna score more than garbage man Palat who "earned" 193k per point last season 🤡
