The Red Wings and Tomas Tatar have agreed on a contract. Tatar will earn $21.2M over the course of 4 years.
League source: Tomas Tatar (DET) has settled:
2017-18: 4.875 + 1.125 SB
2018-19: 5.500
2019-20: 5.500
2020-21: 3.200 + 1.000 SB— Craig Morgan (@craigsmorgan) July 21, 2017It's ironic that a player who has been accused of only performing when it didn't matter was able to come through in contract negotiations so close to the wire.
It’s no small feat that the team and Tatar were able to agree on a contract that is fair for both teams, and it shows that GM Ken Holland’s strategy of soft-pedaling the negotiations ended up working out in the end.
