JT blames himself???? i wonder why....maybe all the missed / blown coverage in the d zone. or is it the 5 vs 5 points he gets?

still hope he signs with the isls. would a 3 yr 11 mil deal be out of the question? it would be good for the organization not so good for the player but who knows......

so 3.6m per year? pass over whatever you're smokin there. He's getting 8+ and max term if he even remotely likes money.

Pretty sure he meant 11m per year.

that makes a lot more sense, read 3 year 11m and my brain died.

Tavares called me himself. He asked me if Ek had heard anything about which team he's signing with on July 1st. I told him to stay tuned and more to come... Then he asked me if he could borrow 10 bucks to pay for a hockey buzz season ticket.

don't have a cat. do have a source.

Hey bud

so Tavares to MTL?
- Symba007

Could be...

It sounded like Montreal or court date... Maybe both?

Toronto Is the only place that makes any sense with maybe Buffalo believe it or not as a Darkhorse if he believes in that talent. I know it’s crazy but it makes more sense than the rags for gods sake

His favorite uncle is in Buffalo

He is NOT SIGNING WITH THE BLEEPING RANGERS BRO. Why would he leave his current situation to go to a worse one in the same town. If you are going to continue to maintain a public website at least use some form of intelligence instead of posting ridiculous things like this

dude that conversation was written down verbatim.

There's no way he signs for anything less than 6 years.
and to be honest, in 3 years do you wanna have to go through this situation all over again? Our fan base is already on tilt.

i'd be ok with him leaving in 3 yrs

Explain how the Rangers situation is worse than the Islanders. If your team wasn't a complete joke, we wouldn't be having this discussion in the 1st place. We started our rebuild a couple of weeks ago and the future already looks brighter than it does for you! What a maroon.

That's hideous

Exactly, he'll probably only being wearing an A not the C.

I heard JT wants to sign in Vancouver because he loves salmon fishing


Seriously though, Toronto is the ideal fit!
- LeftCoaster

Not sure where you are getting your info, but the salmon fishing in Toronto isn't great.

It's very dire. Who has the ear? Johnny has friends on Yonge.
- gergeswillems

This is what makes this whole thing so CRAZY!!!

At first, I thought that Ek was just making up this roomer.

But then I read the bit about Yonge Street. YONGE STREET! That's an actual street in Toronto! It's downtown and everything - WHERE TAVARES WOULD HAVE FRIENDS!!!

Nobody but an insider would have inside knowledge like this.

This is happening.

I can't really imagine a guy signing for three years, so he has to skate in the slush of Brooklyn - and then leave just as they are waiting for paint in the new arena to dry.

aren't they moving back to Nassau Coliseum in the interim?

Is it possible there could be a sign and trade with a team like Toronto?

Yes as long as the trade is agreed upon both sides verbatim.
