For sure. It makes a lot of sense for the Habs to move him prior to the season starting. Just could be too risky to have him get injured or shown that last year was not the anomaly most people think it was. And inversely they now get a chance for Tatar to bounce back in a good situation where he won't have much competition and therefore potentially inflated stats when the deadline comes around.

I was more responding to those who called it a steal for the Canadiens. They likely gave up a 35 goal scorer for lesser pieces.
