Welcome to FlamesNation’s 2021 Flames UFA Targets series, in which our team of writers will assess some of the key players set to become unrestricted free agents on July 28, 2021.
The Montreal Canadiens acquired Tomas Tatar back in 2018 as part of the deal which sent former Habs captain Max Pacioretty to the Vegas Golden Knights.
