What else was he supposed to say? Every player says that for the sake of the media. Every player is going to say cliches like "I want to win a cup with this team." Look at how poorly it was viewed when Johnny mentioned that "playing for his hometown flyers would be awesome." I bet he got chewed out for that.
There is no way Tavares as the captain of the islanders is going to come out and say: " it is my dream to play for the Maple leafs" while he is still under contract with New York.
