Islanders Point Blank: Isles will speak to Tavares next summer about extension

[2ndGenIslander]

This is the best player this team has had since the 80s. blank check him

Not sure what the Isles could do short of moving out of the NYC area to make me stop being a fan...but if they traded Tavares honestly I think I'd stop caring about the team for a while.

Wouldn't it depend on the return?

Tavares will stay. Loyalty and greatness are in his blood.

15 years from now we will be doing this for him in NY https://amp.twimg.com/v/9a3e601d-ccf7-4f3b-a3da-a5d1989d2df2

All he has to do is come in the discussion room with a video of him scoring that game 6 OT winner this year and say "Before we say anything else, lets watch this."

Again, I don't think this is going to be a difficult signing. You get very limited opportunities to be a franchise player, let alone one with its SC history.

INcredibly driven superstars in any sport, seek out Championships. Its what they have been looking for and expected to get for decades.

Isles have a chance at the Cup, perhaps he'll stay. If they are stagnant with botched chances and Bailey playing next to him, he'll be gone.

Even Gretzky was dealt.

No one will confuse Tavares with Patrice Bergeron, Anze Kopitar or Jonathan Toews, but Tavares is sound defensively and drives play very well for New York. And with Toews and Kopitar both on deals that pay them $10 million or more per season, that might be where Tavares’ final cap figure ends up. None of this is to mention Tavares is a two-time Hart finalist, consistent 30-goal scorer and the Islanders’ leader on and off the ice.
So while Benn looked like he could be the league’s fourth player with a $10 million-plus cap hit, Tavares is the next in line for a big-money extension and he could very well be the fourth player to earn an eight-figure average salary.

sound = the new horrible

Jt is probably a bottom 5 centreman defensively. Move him to wing! Let him focus on offense!
