Thread: New Jersey Devils signed Tomas Tatar (2 Years / $4,500,000 AAV)
Since 2018-19, Tatar is 28th in even-strength points, tied with Zibanejad, Stamkos and DeBrincat, and ahead of the likes of Tkachuk, Eichel, Ehlers, Kopitar.

Say what you want about him being an healthy scratch during the playoffs, he easily could have slotted in over some players if it was not for the defensive, physical game the coaching staff leaned towards.

His individual statistics may take a hit without Danault and Gallagher, whom are both likely to be impacted as well, but as it is the Devils are getting a lethal top 6 winger with insane play-driving abilities.

To those attributing the playoffs scratches to an imminent decline, it’s not. It’s simply a matter of playing style. His GSVA timeline also projects him to be provide positive value and to remain a top 6 forward throughout this contract.
