The Anaheim Ducks just cannot seem to get out of the depths of mediocrity, having been in the basement of the western conference for a number of years, could this free agent signing help them?
Proteas goes on to say that while Tatar would be a fit in Anaheim he would seek a certain amount of trade protection should he sign a contract. This would allow him to focus on hockey for the year, while allowing him the flexibility to go to a contender at the Trade Deadline should he so choose.
Tatar, 32, has been a consistent point producer throughout his National Hockey League career. Last season, he appeared in all 82 games for the New Jersey Devils scoring 20 goals and adding 28 assists for 48 total points.
