Tatar was just released by the Tricolore after not having his contract renewed. During his time in Montreal, we saw what an incredibly talented player Tomas Tatar was, hence his 58, 61 and 30 point seasons. He scored spectacular shootout goals on many occasions as well. However, in the playoffs, Tomas Tatar is not known for having success.
In 2018, he was left out of the Vegas Golden Knights' incredible playoff run on several occasions. This year with the Habs, history repeated itself once again, as Tatar only played in five games, picking up one assist in the process.
"Plus, historically, his offensive production dries up in the playoffs, so he'd be a good fit with the Hurricanes."
