He has the sort of playoff compete level that would fit in nicely with them for sure

I like the fit, tbh.
Don't have to worry about Tatar being a healthy scratch in the deeper, more difficult rounds of the playoffs if you never make it out of the first round.

I'd imagine that whoever loses out on Saad will be able to offer more than the Leafs.
He makes sense for an analytically-inclined front office, but he's an awkward fit for a team that wants to win a winner take all series for the first time in the salary cap era and just lost Hyman.

We have about 2.3M in cap space doesn't include moving Engvall, Dermott, Mikheyev. The Leafs have among the lowest contracts signed in the league. We are signing alot of minimum contracts for Marlies depth.
As one of the well-off franchises in the league, we can sign players to NHL max slide contracts. They can make an NHL wage playing in the AHL.

Absolutely love Tuna but look at his playoff numbers across his Career. There's a reason 2 teams in a row scratched him in the playoffs.
To be fair, we had Galchenyuk on our 2nd line in the playoffs. It can't really be much worse. No disrespect to Galy - he played well in a lot of instances. It was a bit of a stretch though to have him in the line-up that high...
A lot of jokes about Tatar here, but he is a legitimately good two-way winger. The Tatar-Danault-Gallagher line was one of the best in the league and drove goal and shot/chance differentials. I think he's probably signing a cheap contract because of his "reputation".
Good for the Leafs if that's the case. He'll help any line that he's on. He's particularly good at little bump plays to facilitate the rush.
Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Tatar - Tavares - Nylander
Kerfoot - Engvall - Mikheyev
Simmonds - Kampf - Spezza

Looks good to me. If Robertson dominates the AHL, he becomes an option midway through the season.

He was a 60-70 point player playing with Danault, I could easily see him putting up 70-80 on Toronto's top line.
I think I’d rather re-sign Galchenyuk. But I’m not opposed to it.
Definitely shouldn’t be our only remaining move though if so.

Not a fan of taking Montreal's sloppy seconds. If he's not good enough for them he's not good enough for Toronto

The problem with Chucky (Gally, on the leafs. BTW funny side note, him and Gallagher were rookies the same year and had a competition to see who got the name Gally with the habs)
Back to topic, Chucky's problem is he plays a game that is designed for a top 6 role but he can't put it together to be a top 6 guy.
The leafs need a left wing no doubt but ti quote many people. Some guys get you to the playoffs and some get you through the playoffs. Tatar gets you there not through and the leafs imo need some get you through guys.

Tatar is a decent winger and noticeable when he's on the ice. Just getting to play alongside Matthews-Marner will obviously do him a lot of good.
On the other hand, the playoff track record is an issue especially after what the Habs just did with him. I guess that's something you have to deal with considering the amount of cap space left.

I would love to watch the Atlantic play against that team.

I'm not a fan, he was benched most of Montreal's run. But if its a cheap one year its not the worst thing ever, even with 12 points in 40 playoff games, Mikheyev and Engvall have combined for 1 point in 24 
.
With that said I'm still a fan but I'm not pulling the strings.

It's not a great looking forward group.
Probably in a battle for a wild card spot, Boston, Tampa and Florida are clearly better.

In a scoring by committee team environment like Montreal I would agree. To be fair, Tavares/Matthews/Nylander/Marner will need to step up really push through. The odd supplementary player timely goal is appreciated, but recent collapses has come from the top lacking killer instinct.

You sure? Montreal had the better team last year, based on results.

Yes one or two major injuries to the top guys and it won't be a pretty season.
