I don't know but he's going to get a hefty tax write-off when he makes Clutterbuck shave that mustache and donate it to Locks of Love

Maybe leddy will be able to see to make a breakout pass without his beard

It means Tavares will still test the FA market.

We'll see. Doesn't guarantee anything with Tavares, but I'm more confident now that he'll re-sign than I was before the brutal post-lunch dump I was taking when the news broke 20min ago

Even if JT walks, Lou will have an excellent chance to make the Isles a winner Garth could never do.

Tavares desire to stay or go will be based on the team on the ice, not who runs the front office.

Good work, Ek

88 million over 8 years

Let the off-season begin.....

That's his worth...

Tavares has done all the hard stuff all season and saying all the right things to survive and get to free agency. He's not gonna give that up with a month to go because some old geezer gave a call to say hi

Tavares will test the market, then come and grab the $13 million x 8 years from the Islanders when he realizes that no one else is insane enough to cough up that money and term..... They will remain mediocre...

Montreal will pony up 15M over 7 years, guaranteed
