    1×1.8

    Goes on a milk carton in the playoffs but we needed to fit someone in under the cap

  2. Honestly thought this was a joke or satire post at first. Wow!

  3. Stiffstick

    I’ve always been a fan of Tatar so I’m not mad at the 1 year deal.

  4. riccarjo

    I really like this. He was a good fit for us.

  5. Hcnif123

    Good signing, loved his first stint with us. He had brilliant chemistry with Nico

  6. nostradamefrus

    LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

    WE GOT HIM

    I CALLED IT YESTERDAY

    TUNA IS BACK ON THE MENU

  7. Fake-Death

    Is tuna considered a big fish? Asking for a friend

    GIFs you can hear

  9. FARTING_1N_REVERSE

    Okay I was mad at the Vegas trade but after seeing how much cap we went in with, I couldn’t have been more wrong. I’m so fucking excited for October!

  10. He sucked last year, but this signing makes sense. He had great chemistry here prior to leaving, is cheap, and we need more depth. Hopefully we can return Tatar to form!

  11. ilovemyar15

    Not what I consider to be a top six winger but a one year deal is hard to complain about

  12. MartysBetter29

    I look at this as see if Tatar or Palat can take a spot in the top 6. If they both cant (which is very possible), we go and get someone at the deadline.

    Tatar-Hischier-Mercer had a great few months together two seasons ago.

  13. LaHondaSkyline

    YES! We are winning 5 Cups in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. AGOEsLois

    Okay that’s actually great because that top line was defensively incredible when he was on it with Nico

  15. mustachiolong

    TUNAAAAA!

    When he was paired with Nico and Mercer they were legitimately one of the best statical lines in the league.

    He has a history of disappearing in the playoffs, but at the end of the day we need to make the playoffs first. Give me this redemption arc.

  16. IncreaseInVerbosity

    I love this. Think losing tuna was a big loss that went under the radar. Not your classic top six player, but I fully believe he made players alongside him play better, and his two way game was excellent.

  17. QuellCharms

    Not too flashy but a familiar fit and he’s a hardworking guy. Love it!

  18. ExperienceEvery1866

    He’s not the flashy top 6 winger we wanted, but there’s no denying the chem he had with Hischier and Mercer. Great low risk pickup and just a great guy to have back in that locker room. Damned excited for this season now, don’t know about you guys.

  19. CavCord141

    He had a fairly rough year, hopefully he has a nice bounce back for us.

  20. MatteHatter

    YES! Was a huge fan of this guy and think he was a big reason for our success.

  21. java_king

    Tatar – Nico – Timo

    Bratt – Hughes – Mercer

    That is one hell of a top 6. Things are coming together!

  22. NJDevs30

    Should be valuable on the PK even if he regressed over the last year or so and he has chemistry with Nico. Can’t really disagree with this

  23. JimmyFeetWorld

    We all love Tuna here but we also all know the team needed a true second line winger to bury 30+ pucks and they didn’t get that with Tatar. Given the cap numbers, it would appears as if they are rolling with what they got now or will need to make a trade.

  24. gothenburgpig

    Boom, there’s the key to our success

    He’ll be the first one Nico hands the Cup to

  25. Don’t hate it for 1.8m, low risk low reward type, and always thought he was super likeable.

  26. GoudaGoudaGoudaGouda

    Wow this is a great signing. Can easily fill our 2nd or 3rd line hole. Good term and AAV too. I like to think that if he does well again for us he would consider signing a longer term deal with the Devils as he’s in the tail end of his career

  27. poHATEoes

    I was sad to see him walk ladt season because his agent fucked him over by telling him get term somewhere else… and couldn’t.

    He might not put up crazy numbers, but I like his defensive minded style and his chemistry with Hischer…

  28. Oh my! Now *this* is a good signing at a great price! I thought he was a priority re-signing last year, but wasn’t complaining when we picked up Toffoli instead. I’m pretty happy to have him back in Jersey!

  29. zwcropper

    Having a hard time seeing him in a Devs jersey, anyone able to do a Photoshop for me?

  30. Njdevilmn

    1 year deal for less than $2M. I have no problem with bringing Tuna back.

  31. xGetSweatyx

    All this time spent complaining about top 6 Palat and now we get top 6 Tatar. Hopefully this is a stop gap. Don’t know why Fitz couldn’t just wait for a trade.

    This move really only makes sense if Fitz is prioritizing signing Mercer to a long term deal which cap space then becomes an issue. If not then better players could have been had for a little more $

  32. pretzelogically

    Good two way player. Good teammate. Works hard and can be used on a checking line or in the top 6. I didn’t follow either team he played for the last two years. Anyone have any clues why his games played were so limited?

    Ima dumbass he played over 70 games for two last year. Ignore my dumbassery.

  33. beastboy4246

    I like this. Good guy to fill in this year. He plays well with Nico and Mercer. Let them play together again and Bratt jack and Timo play together. Noesen haula Palat will be a nice physical line as well

  34. Johnborkowski

    The locker room vibes are going to be off the charts.

  35. boredandmotivatedV2

    I’m so pumped to have the smell of tuna once again reeking up The Rock! Woulda been nicer at 1m but I’m still happy

  36. ElephantRedCar91

    I love it the guys had a great attitude when he was here. 

  37. _irishpapi

    Under the radar deal. Maybe he can bring Mercer back to form. This team is going to be lethal
