I'm not sure how "organized" it was

Listening to Fan 960, John Shannon said, "The whole team would go for lunch at Moxies and Dougie Hamilton would go to the museum."

Makes some sense, I guess. I also heard that he was upset when they waived his brother.

Faulk just turned 26 and has 5 consecutive 30+ point seasons. I like Pesce more as well but I don't think he'd cost more than Faulk. I think the only reason Carolina would trade Faulk is because he only has 2 years left on his current deal.

Huh? He would absolutely cost more than Faulk

Pesce is on a fantastic contract and is 22

Couple guys want to go to moxies and according to some, if you don't follow you're a terrible teammate.

Uhh.... No? Pesce will be 24 in November. Not sure we're talking about the same Brett Pesce anymore.
Faulk's contract is at 4.83M
Pesce is at 4.025M

Folks I'm so confused. It looks like the Leafs will be one of the few teams to get a meeting with John Tavares.

I was assured by UG that there were no reasons why JT would consider signing with the Leafs, but this throws my whole thinking into chaos.

We all know UG could never be wrong, so is this some joke from JT? What gives?

Also, when is the meeting with Nashville? UG told me they are the front runners

The New York Islanders, San Jose Sharks, Dallas Stars and Boston Bruins are also on the list. Staple adds the Tampa Bay Lightning and Nashville Predators might also be a part of Tavares' list.

The Leafs are "on the list" because they'll be offering him big money (they're only real option to get him is to overpay by a large margin) and when you're trying to negotiate the biggest contract you can get, you're putting teams that are going to make big offers on your list, even if you don't intend to actually sign there. It's called negotiation. You can't ask for more money where you are unless you can get it somewhere else.

And notice the teams that are in on this. Dallas (no state tax), Tampa Bay (no state tax and a legit contender) and Nashville (no state tax and a legit contender). Big (frank)ing surprise. Only been saying that for months now.
