Notable Player Changes -
Tomas Tatar - GM Baker continues the hope of getting some goals for the team, as he managed to sign Tomas Tatar to the lineup of new faces. Reports are Tatar has agreed to a 3 Year contract, worth 4.6M per season.
Tatar spent the last 6 seasons with the Detroit Redwings and brings the goal scoring Arizona has lacked the last few seasons.
In 82 games last season, Tatar has 32 Goals, 33 Assists, for 65 Points. He tailed up 6 Game winners and averaged a huge work load of 21:45 per game of ice time.

GM Baker isn't expected to make many moves throughout the off-season now, but has made sure the front end of this team and goaltending are up to par for the coming season. The team's current weakness would be on the defensive end now, which we could see some moves for through trades.

Notable Trades -
Arizona parted ways with 32YR old Winger Brad Richardson who will suit up for Dallas this season. In exchange the team acquired a 4th Rd pick in the 2018 entry draft.
The move helped the team also be able to off Tomas Tatar the contract he was asking for, which is a big addition for the team.
