TATAR TRADED TO SEATTLE
The Seattle Kraken acquired forward Tomas Tatar from the Colorado Avalanche for a fifth-round draft pick in 2024.
What does it give the Seattle Kraken
The Kraken will probably use Tatar at left wing, where injuries have mounted in Seattle (both Jaden Schwartz and Andre Burakovsky are out long term).
What does it give the Colorado Avalanche
Tatar was clearly not a good fit in Colorado, so the Avalanche quickly shipped him out in exchange for a late draft pick in the upcoming draft.
Fantasy impact
After potting just one goal in 27 games with the Avalanche, Tatar was in dire need of a fresh start somewhere else. The move to Seattle could be good for the veteran winger, but he is just too risky to recommend from a fantasy perspective. Pass.
