tatar is a legit player. i think thats a slight overpay on mtl side though. but i could see a base of RNH for tatar working.

I would take RNH over Tatar every day of the week, he is a way more complete player.

Tatar’s best season is 59 points. RNH has a best season of 69 points. They have both flirted with 30 goals in a season. RNH is a complete 200 ft player, Tatar is not. RNH is a centre who can also play the wing, Tatar is a pure winger. RNH imo has way more value to a team then Tatar ever will.
