What if I told you that I have adapted to the disappointment?I wish Tavares would just re-sign so we can get the disappointment over with.
...why?Sigh...can we deep six this thread?
Uh huh..... the whole Tavares leaving NY hinges on the future of where they play. Untill that ball drops....keep the dream alive....why?
If you don't want to talk about Taveras, then don't.
Tavares value wont really change, mainly because he's John Tavares.The fact he's lighting it up only hurts our chances and increases his already absurd value. I'm not expecting Tavares and this is the NHL so he'll probably resign.
Sigh...can we deep six this thread?

You are telling we've really good change to acquire JT from Islanders at TDL or just under draft 2018 or UFA market?Why? Did he re-sign with the Islanders?
I think they're saying that as long as JT isn't signed there's a chance, no matter how slim, there's a chance.You are telling we've really good change to acquire JT from Islanders at TDL or just under draft 2018 or UFA market?
I think this is just stupid building up hopes for JT if there is really JT or Islanders writed in article or some kinf of tweet that 'St. Louis Blues are top of JT's list of teams where he would want to go.'
If there is really facts about JT coming here in Blues jersey this topic should be pinned, but either on that its just fantasy boys building up too much hopes for nothing.
And yes keep posting in this thread, its just good we've some activity and just for laughs threads in this board other then @TheDizee prediction.
Imagine the stain left on a franchise that let John Tavares walk for nothing. I'm fully expecting a deal to be made but you'd think they would have it done by now. An interesting thing to keep an eye on, for sure.I agree the Blues have little to no chance winning his autograph in free-agency. But if JT hasn’t re-signed doesn’t Snow HAVE to trade him? That is a franchise that can not afford to let their star walk. Hoping for the Stamkos contract-situation to replay is a dangerous game for that franchise. As in...Kansas City Former-Islanders, dangerous. The can survive him being traded for a bounty. They can’t afford to watch him walk in free agency.
If he gets dealt; Blues would be the odds-on betting favorites.
I’m not giving much for an unsigned Taveras. This franchise can’t afford to give up valuable assets on a gamble. We finally have a good prospect pool and I don’t want to go that route again. We’ve done that before and it hasn’t panned out. Let’s keep building
You wouldn't throw a handful of maybes at the Islanders for one guaranteed playoff run of this squad PLUS Tavares? That team would be instant Cup-favorites. A better situation may never present itself. We could have another Nagy-Handzus-Bartecko line coming up soon...but does that two years from now give you a better shot than now with this team?
I understand your POV, but maybe I'm just not a gambler by nature. Say we gave up one or more of Thomas, Kostin, Thompson, Kyrou or Dunn, and then lost in the 1st round because, I dunno, ...Jake had an untimely meltdown, or... Pietro got injured. Then we get to see JT walk. I would be beside myself in rage. We also don't have a 1st, so we'd be giving up our 2nd which means we don't draft until the 3rd round in a deep draft year. I know it's pessimistic, but I can't get beyond the things that could go wrong if we trade for a rental, even one like Tavares.You wouldn't throw a handful of maybes at the Islanders for one guaranteed playoff run of this squad PLUS Tavares?

Interesting. I would say everyone but Kostin and Thomas. I do like Kyrou, though. I would actually go further and say Kostin, Thomas, Kyrou, Thompson and Dunn are, pretty much, off the table for a rental. For me, Thomas would be the only untouchable.Everyone on the table except Kostin and Kyrou (from a prospects perspective, just to clarify).
There, I said it.
EDIT: Caveat - He MUST sign here. Period.
I think we can all agree that we're not selling the farm for a rental.
