Haha what a horrible GM LouLam is since leaving the Leafs! Has clearly gone down hill. Time to hang 'em up Lou.

I'd rather have JT in Toronto over SJ or any of the west teams.

So, a question. Even though we weren’t meeting with JT initially, is there still a chance we could sign him? Am I holding out hope for nothing?

Probably 0 chance Tavares comes to Calgary.

John Shannon @JSportsnet
As @StapeAthletic reported, NYI out on Tavares...kept hearing non-financial issues became factors...Arenas (splitting seasons), Goaltending,etc.

Disagree.

It would be disastrous if SJ/Dallas snagged him for the Flames.

People keep saying things like arenas don’t really mean anything to FAs.

Sounds like Tavares was more than willing to remain an Islander if the team apeared to have any meaningful direction.

Flames would still have to get through the best team in the East to win the cup, so it doesn't really matter where he goes to me. Though I do hope he stays away from the teams with the stupidest fans.

Seriously? I would much prefer the option of ignoring the media crush on TML with Tavares there than facing off against him with the Sharks for the next seven years.

I’d hate for him to go to TO, but damn I don’t want him coming west unless it’s to us. Stay east JT. Stay east.
