All of this is 100% true.

But I still hate the guy.

I really think they could land Tavares by the way. They are a contender with cap space. Unless Tavares think they will come back to earth next season, but I don't know.

He doesn't strike me as a Vegas guy. I suspect he wants to remain on the east coast.

Tavares would handcuff Toronto in a couple years, not saying it won't happen but it wouldn't be in their best interest long term

teams always seem to find a way around it. plus the Leafs have a few big salaries coming off their books this year.

They're taking lower cap deals because of endorsement deals. It is known.

Well, if he wants to win, might as well leave the NY area. I don't know what he wants (outside of money) but how many contenders will be able to fit him under the cap? Maybe Lou will convince him, but that's far from sure.

With the depth they have I don't see them "crashing". Maybe guys like Karlsson or Perron won't repeat but you have Tuch who will only get better and a poopload of draft picks.

if he actually hits UFA he'll likely end up with the best team offering him $10 million over 7 years

I think Lou's potential influence is being given too much weight. Nothing can be promised 100% and Tavares knows that. Plus, Snow is still there, at least for now.
