You guys are going to lose John Tavares in a few years.

Why or how?

I do agree that the Leafs will get a huge return for JVR. It's worth looking into.

JVR is a player u build around but do agree Leafs would get a huge return....

If the Leafs can get a young potential #1 center plus a first round pick by trading JVR (or Kessel), then it's really a no-brainer.

Because, and he will not have a contract with the team.

That's the whole aspect, which team would be willing to give up a potential #1 C when the demand for them are just as high as Dmen.

Do you know why because he is the kind of player every single team would want...including us. Low cap hit 1st line winger 25 years old. No way he gets traded

He's had two GM jobs essentially given to him indirectly by the departure of Brian Burke, and failed miserably at both of them…the guy has horseshoes up his behind like I've never seen before.

Perhaps a good front office guy with hockey knowledge, but he doesn't have the moxie or know-how to perform GM duties.

Burke also left Nonis a mess to deal with...both times.

Not "no way get gets traded", but unlikely.

I hope that's not an Islanders fan criticizing another team for terrible long term contract signings.....

Name one bad contract snow is responsible for. DiPietro was a deal done entirely by Wang, so go ahead.

Like Stamkos?

What about Stamkos? I never mentioned him.

probably shouldnt be talking about long term deals if you list nyi as your team now should we.......
- burn

Milbury and Wang were responsible for those, so same task, pick a bad contract snow has handed out.

I think I'll enjoy the isles return as a top team and let your bitterness flow through me.

JVR for domi, gormley

kessel and gards for strome, reinhart and dal colle

domi - kadri - dal colle
lupul - strome - nylander

top 6 rebuild complete...oh i wish it was this easy lmao

You enjoy that while I enjoy watching your team crash down to reality next season, toil in misery, and lose it's star.

Internet cheers.


(but seriously, when did I mention Stamkos?)

Hi new Blog



Welcome to the site...

Agreed.

Silly me.

Well to be fair, most like to think that JT & Stamkos will both leave as FA, so in essence there linked 2gether....

You should go share a drink with the Sabres fans that spent all summer telling us we'd be watching them draft in the top five with our pick.

The deal should be Detroit's first for Franson AND Holland has to select the player in June.
- RogerRoeper

...Bang on...

I think the leafs should try to make a trade with Nashville. Kessel being the main part going, with seth jones being the main piece coming back. whatever add-ins that are needed to balance cap issues and whatnot - both teams get something they desperately need. Nashville - more scoring, and Leafs someone who can actually play defense.

What does that have to do with anything, we're talking about the isles....
