agreed

It is still a long shot. I see too much money left on the table for him to do it.

welp...

i did something stupid/smart...

i looked up Tavares's career stats.

He's good, but not even close to what i expect Marner and Matthews career will be.

Pass. Give me Stastny for half the price.

In all seriousness, does anyone here actually think JT will be a leaf? Not rhetorical either...for nothing more than bragging rights on that thread if it happens.

I’m an optimistic person so I’m saying yes.
I think the leafs actually get an elite player still in their prime.

Matthews and Marner have a higher PPG rate than JT had in the first two seasons of their careers. JT is right there with Nylander.

Not saying who's better, I'm just saying

It is strange mind you, that Bettman wants to create a league of parity, but refuses to have the salary cap net of taxes.

Some teams get royally screwed over.

Matthews had to play with Hyman

I also assume Tavares was allowed on the PP

Lee and bailey too.

Maybe Tavares is receiving lump sums of money from them as well. Considering they wouldn’t be getting the contracts they did without him.

Max: if you have an issue with HOHO, why don't you send a PM instead of being so public about it? It's probably something that can be easily solved.

I kind of can't bet against Shanny at this point. Too much stuff that never goes right for the Leafs has happened since we went through the vortex into bizarro world Leafdom. And this is the first time since forever that the Leafs are actually a really good situation and sanely run organization for a hometown star to jump into. I ask myself, does Tavares really want to spend the rest of his career in a very uncertain situation in NY?

I remember Lou saying, if I ever want to talk someone into something, I'm sending Brendan...so if I have to lay bragging rights on the line, I'm gonna go ahead and say the Leafs get Tavares. We'll see...

Nothing I love the guy. I was kidding. I've received plenty of flak for liking Hyman and Polak (as a bottom pairing dman) over the past couple of years.

PS Before someone mentions Stamkos, he was going back to a very good team situation with Tampa...if the Isles were a contender and their building situation wasn't so (frank)ed up I wouldn't bet on the Leafs...but I like the Leafs chances of contending a lot better than the Isles over the course of the contract...

I think the saving grace here is the exchange rate. If he wants to live in Canada year round Leafs offering him 9 mil US (152 mil CND) should seal the deal.

He ain't getting 152 mil US a year from Tampa, Boston etc.
