Kraken Acquires Tomas Tatar from Avalanche for 2024 Fifth-Round Pick

Trade provides Avalanche with cap space and offers Tatar more ice time to potentially boost his performance.

The Seattle Kraken have acquired forward Tomas Tatar from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for a 2024 fifth-round pick.
Tatar, who signed a one-year deal with the Avalanche, struggled to produce consistently with only one goal and nine points in 27 games.
The trade allows the Avalanche to gain $1.5 million in cap space as the trade deadline approaches.
The Kraken, who have key forwards on injured reserve, hope that Tatar can help fill the void and return to form with more ice time.
This is Tatar's third club of 2023, having started the year with the New Jersey Devils before moving to the Avalanche.
