I just don't know if Tartar is the fit for this team.
Last year with lindblom and Patrick out and frost and farabee as 19 yr old rookies, yes, but with Patrick likely back and farabee/frost much closer to NHL time, I just cant see the need. They already have six 45+ plus point forwards in Giroux, jvr, voracek, couts, koneckny and hayes, with Patrick/farabee/frost probably interspersed with those six in top 3 lines. Then you still have raffl, laughton, NAK, Allison, Sandin, and maybe even grant for depth. (not to mention ratcliffe, rubotsov, bunnamon, vorobyev, etc...)
Philly probably needs a steady vet on defense more: UFAs like (Vatananen, shattenkirk, Michael stone, pietrangelo, tons of others, or bring back braun/gudas, etc...) theres a ton of options out there on defense to solidfy. And that's not even taking into account, Ghost probably gets moved.
Tartar definitely has value and can still perform, but can't see Philly needing him (memories of Fillipula come up), nor can I see them moving a 1st, 2nd and 3rd, for what isn't really a need.
