Penguins Update: Tatar to Avs, Potluck with Pitlick?
In NHL news yesterday, the Avalanche rained on my parade a bit by signing forward Tomáš Tatar to a one-year deal for $1.5 million. A bargain rate, indeed, for a seven-time 20-goal scorer. In the process, squelching hopes among Penguins faithful that Kyle Dubas would somehow perform another miracle and land the play-driving forward.
Count me among those who thought Tatar would’ve looked mighty nice sporting the black and gold.
As I wrote the other day, I’m concerned about a lack of scoring depth and a possible regression among our top-six. IMHO, Tatar would’ve been a great add while serving as an insurance (or INsurance as they say in the south) policy for our offense.
