Toffoli was a scoring machine at times but not so strong defensively. Tatar was a +41 in his 2nd season with NJ and a 20 goal scorer. Plus he's a lefty and he fit in in on all the top lines well. Not too many seasons left for either of them at this point but yeah it's a good contract and I hope he does well back on the Devils.
You know who is a top 6 forward? Sharangovich. The worst GM in the league Fitzgerald traded him for a few months rental of Toffoli. Was then forced to ditch Toffoli for scrap a at the deadline. I'm not STFU. Fitz is a garbage GM.
@@nickadams6537 If he can manage to earn a spot in the top 6 and play above expectations (not just from other players falling apart) it would help a lot
@@davidvaho it could be that, I believe he got 3mil in Colorado last year and I think he wanted at least that from the Devs. I can’t remember if the Devs offered him any contract at all
Our goaltending is better and our d core is better... thsn two years ago. Our bottom 6, is as good, if not better, than twonyears ago. The team that people thought they had going into last season, is a fact this year
What an L take You must not have watched hockey 2 years ago The chemistry he had with Mercer and Nico was insane That entire line was like a +40 Stop hating and appreciate how fitz has rebuilt the team
More small game hunting by a bad GM. Tatar was horrendous on a 1.5 million dollar contract last season. Fitz gives him a raise to come back. After failing to deliver the top 6 forward that we need. Pumped? Not a chance. This offseason continues to be a disappointing failure.
I love this guy. He was the spark plug on nights when the superstars came out flat. The Tuna is back!
TUNA!!! I never wanted him to leave. Welcome back, Let's Go!!!
This guy sucks and is paper mache in the playoffs.
Fitz just replaced Toffoli with Tuna making the top 6 so much WORSE 🗑

Devils are cooking next season
Why? Because they overpaid a guy that scored 9 goals in 70 games last season?
@@nickadams6537 they have markstrom, healthy jack hughes, brady skjei, dougie hamilton and a new coach
@@nadaduo1765they do not have Brady Skjei (Pesce I’m sure you meant) but yes
Pesce not skjie but yes lol
Tatar will play great for the devils. 1 year and less than 2 is fine. Not a mind blowing signing but he is comfortable and just fine.
DEVILS FANS LOVE TATAR
Love his game, too bad He wasn't qued for another tour with the Wings
We love it, that’s the last piece to our top 6
Fitz has rebuilt the team this offseason
All the fitz haters can stfu now
Still don’t forgive him for last season but solid offseason
Tatar isn't a top 6 forward

9 goals in 70 games last year. People are celebrating this? He's a scrub. Him in the top 6 is laughable.
Definitely lacked GOOD veteran leadership last season
He wanted too much money last year, glad he back for a reasonable deal!
Was it about money? I thought he wanted longer contract, more years.
@@davidvaho it could be that, I believe he got 3mil in Colorado last year and I think he wanted at least that from the Devs. I can’t remember if the Devs offered him any contract at all
He's not worth half of 1.8 million.
@@nickadams6537that’s just not true at all
Our goaltending is better and our d core is better... thsn two years ago. Our bottom 6, is as good, if not better, than twonyears ago. The team that people thought they had going into last season, is a fact this year
He was cooked in Seattle
I'm a devil fan!!! I am not pumped at all!!! Weak last min signing!!! 1 year is all that is good about his signing!
What an L take
You must not have watched hockey 2 years ago
The chemistry he had with Mercer and Nico was insane
That entire line was like a +40
Stop hating and appreciate how fitz has rebuilt the team
We barely had any space and Mercer needs a contract, were you expecting Brady Tkachuk? 😂
@@jayrome80a lot of the devil fanbase is hoping for that, metro area fans are funny
@@austinh6933he can keep wasting his prime in ottawa

You’re disappointed cause you’re a rags fan.
You never do know what kind of season a player like this could have, it’s a good bet he will perform better and get north of 40 points
