The longer Tomas Tatar remains unsigned by the Red Wings the more fascinated I become by this contract negotiation. Gregg Krupa shares his thoughts on Tatar’s frustration with the entire situation and how the Ken Holland & Co. might view things. He compares the contract talks to Petr Mrazek’s situation from a few years ago too.
Tatar and Mrazek may both feel they were nickeled-and-dimed by the organization, while others got big, fat deals, and have not performed as well.
A quick look up and down the Red Wings lineup, which has underperformed for two seasons running, reveals a few instances, if not several, in which Tatar and Mrazek would both have a good argument.
