| What GRC says: Fall 2009: Tatar almost came from nowhere with a top showing at the world junior championships, and has not slowed down since. He excelled at the prospects tournament and upped the ante once regular training camp began. His play earned him a 3 yr contract, and an opportunity to win a job in the AHL this season. Tomas is a skilled sniper who should be a big point producer in whatever league he plays in. |
