Would you guys like to see Tatar come to Philly if the price is right?

If the price is right I'd like to see about 95% of the NHL instead of what we have.
Imagine if we could find some LW help outside of a trade.
Like, for instance, maybe someone playing in an overseas league? Someone young, with good size, goalscoring touch. Among the top scorers of his league at a very young age. Wouldn't even need a non-ELC contract.
Best part is we wouldn't need to be stupid as **** and trade away a young defensemen for him, like those idiots are suggesting. I reckon we could probably get him pretty cheap. Like... maybe a 5th round pick from the 2014 draft?
But hey, what do I know? I'm just a fan, not a professional writer.
Hagg and a 3rd rd pick
His production like a lot of forwards is PP dependent, at ES he's solid but not special, basically a 15-15 30 guy, and he's not getting a lot of PP time here. Nor is he the prototype two way forward, lacks size, though he's put up solid possession numbers since he hit the NHL. Think Konecny lite. Also depends on what kind of money he's looking for from an extension.
Note that he had 3 full seasons in the AHL, so his rookie "breakout" performance wasn't unexpected. And his lack of progress since his big season suggests he is what he is and there isn't a lot of upside here.
Morin or Sanheim? Not in this universe, maybe in an "alternative facts" one.

Exactly this. In fact this is my stance on almost any trade proposal. Yeah, I'd love to have that guy. IF the price is right. Sometimes the price might be fair, but in the scheme of the direction of our team, it might not make sense. This is why trades dont happen all the time. There has to be a good reason for the trade from both sides perspective and it has to be the right price in the eyes of each team.
If Laughton or Hagg or Weise and a mid round pick were all that would be required to get Tatar, they'd have their butts shipped out pronto. Tatar is a 20+ goal/50 point winger, who can play either side, who is arguably the best 5v5 forward on the Wings in terms of stellar possession stats and consistent scoring. He'd be an excellent player to have at one of our 2 top 6 LW positions. I just don't want to give up the actual assets he would cost......but then again, we're talking about Ken Holland.
