Tomas Tatar, signed 2x$4.5M by NJ, has simply been one of the league's most effective 5v5 offence creators in the past three seasons. This is a major discount considering his recent body of work. #NJDevils 
If you're not one for analytics and expected goal driving, his production in the past three seasons tells the same story.
He was bound to be had for a discount following his playoff scratching. Frankly I would say that his "playoff ghost" reputation is based more on a combination of the Danault line being turned into a pure shutdown unit and a 4.1% on-ice shooting percentage but what do I know
Anyway, Tatar's strengths offensively are mostly very strong transition play, attacking off the rush, and deceptive - rather than flashy - playmaking
(and all the smug Habs fans talking up how much he sucks in the playoffs should probably consider that without him they would not have made the playoffs in the past two seasons, and right now their uphill battle will be just making it in)
