Tatar agreed to a one-year contract with Colorado in the summer. In 2023-24, he appeared in 27 games, scoring one goal and sending out eight assists for a total of nine points. While Tatar didn’t stand out during his time with the Avalanche, Kraken hopes that a change of scenery will reintroduce him as the player who had 48 points last season.

 

 

“Extremely talented player.” Tatar “thinks the game really well,” Kraken coach Dave Hakstol said. “In terms of the pace and quickness we want to play with, he has the ability to fit in with the way we want to play.” We can certainly think the game at that speed, and he can also play with the puck at that speed.”

Tatar is ready for a fresh start and wants to assist Kraken in turning things around following a rocky start to the 2023-24 campaign.

“It’s a fantastic start for me.” “I’m ecstatic about the opportunity,” Tatar stated on Saturday. “Hopefully I can help out as much as I can.”

Tomas Tatar is presently in his 13th NHL season. He formerly played with the Detroit Red Wings, the Montreal Canadiens, and the New Jersey Devils, among others. Tatar has 212 goals and 252 assists in 810 games in his NHL career.
