Look at the Leafs... they lost JVR, Bozak, and Komarov this summer just to make sure they could get Tavares. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.
It's not going to happen. The sooner people realize that the better. He's going to get at least $9-$10 million/yr. I'm sure you can give me a workable line-up by trading all the overpaid guys and replacing them with million dollar players, but that isn't really possible in reality.
