60th overall in the 09' draft - Tomas Tatar
“He’s one of those guys the puck just follows. He’s got the offensive instincts, the head and the hands.” — Red Wings assistant general manager Jim Nill (June 2009) …
“He’s a little bit bigger than (Jiri) Hudler, but this guy can skate. If there’s one knock on Hudler, it’s that he doesn’t have that top speed. Tatar has good top speed. He has good offensive instincts, too. He can shoot the puck, he can make a play, he can beat a defenseman 1-on-1. He could be a top two line player in the future. He can be a real sniper.” — Red Wings director of European scouting Hakan Andersson (June 2009) …
“He’s relevant in every game. He has a big future ahead of him. He’s got really, really nice hands, really good vision and he’s hard on the puck in the corners. He plays the game hard, too, for a skilled guy. He’s not big but he’s strong on his skates.” — Griffins general manager Bob McNamara (March 2010) …
“He’s got a passion for the game and good offensive instincts. He thinks the game well. He’s the first guy in the corner getting the puck. He goes to the net.” — Nill (March 2011, The Hockey News).
