Very. Tavares is the godfather of Moulson's daughter. Tavares played lacrosse with Moulson's brother growing up and their families became good friends.
I think keeping Tavares happy is important, but he has to realize that hockey trades do happen. The chemistry on ice is less important, in my opinion. Tavares is obviously the straw that stirs the drink on the former line with Moulson. If Vanek and Tavares for some reason can't mesh, Vanek has shown that he can create his own offense playing with Hodgson, he'd be fine anchoring the second line and letting Tavares do his thing on the top line. However, I think it's more likely they gel on that top line.
