I still find it very strange that he limited his options to 6-7 teams out of the gate.

And out of those 6 or 7, how many are actually going somewhere?

Very strange.

It is interesting that this signing not only doesn't even address their biggest need. I would have to imagine they are going to have to trade a forward or two to address their defensive issues.

Wow.

Leafs fans really must be pumped. He left $11 million on the table at least to go to TO.

Good contract but Leafs will be in Cap hell next season with Matthews up for his contract. Prob will garner 11 as well.

Kinda feels like he wanted to go to TO the whole time but didn't want to make it too obvious.

Because the maple griefs needed more scoring.

His entire list was awful from the outset though.

You are the poster-child for everything that's wrong with Leaf fans.

Great day for your team and you're on the forum of a team and fanbase you've admitted you don't like hitting refresh like a robot.

Seems like a productive use of your time.

I'm looking forward to the Flames making a big splash in the next few years so I can sign up to a Ottawa Senators board to incessantly waste my own time.

Edmonton & McDavid are up next. Enjoy farting all over your lottery luck for the next few years Oinker fans. Tavares proves players will leave a clowning disaster.

Wouldn't be surprised if they sign de hann. They probably won't trade a forward for d till next year .

Also the salt in here is crazy....

'Hes gonna hate the media'
'Cap hell'

good for JT to play for his boyhood club, and not be afraid of living in the fish bowl like so many are. Thats the type of captain a team should want

Also how is this cap hell, they signed a top 5 center in the league. If this forces them to trade nylander or whatever next summer, they now get to trade nylander! For a ton of cheap assets, they arent in a bad position, people will want him! They are better with JT over nylander alone, add in any assets they may get

If that is true he could have at least given the Islanders the chance to trade him for something.

The whole thing is whacked.

Out of left field thought-

Monahan+ for Matthew's? Leads get cost controlled for most of Tavares contract Monahan and a d piece, we get to pay Matthew's next year
