Pursuing Tavares at a discount as he wants to still be with the team would be a huge win. He plays hard and smart. Having him on the second or third line would be great.
Bennett is the flavour of the month which fits with Treliving's MO. He has to have the hottest commodity of the year, at any cost. It sure sounded like that will be his target. Florida is the best place for him as he can play his game there. But to ask him to come Toronto and do the same thing would be a huge mistake. He'll be very liked until he colossally f's up with penalties. Florida's smart though and there's no chance they'd pay what's soon to be an inflated salary.
