If Montreal is interested in Tavares, let's start with who you don't want to trade and go from there. Not who you want to get rid of. Montreal doesn't have a 1 for 1 like Johanson/Jones.

Tavares is worth nothing ...Islanders have to trade him at the deadline for whatever the best offer is ...or they get nothing.

If Tavares leaves they get nothing. If NY sign him they get Tavares for 8 years.
Let's remember this for next year when Patches is in his last year. If Montreal doesn't trade him at the deadline they get nothing.

Pacioretty will not be traded for Tavares...If Tavares leaves long island they are rebuilding, not taking on a 28 year old...Galchenyuk,Lekonen,Juulsen, 1st 2nd
No interest in Chucky, a winger who cannot or will not play a responsible two way game.
Even less interest in the meh prospects offered up.Isles have multiple 1st and 2nd for the 2018 draft already

I'm gonna need at least seven more posts from you about how Tavares is worth absolutely nothing before you get your point across.

Let's aim for 8-9 redundant repetitions of the same uninformed statement just so everyone knows John Tavares is barely worth a 2nd.

Why would anyone give anything for Tavares the Islanders will lose him for nothing if he is not traded by the trade deadline i offer a 2nd.

And after laughing their ***** off, the isles politely decline and hang up.

Habs fans penciling Tavares into their lineup, ignore that he is not signing on with a lottery team, which Montreal looks very much like.

Tavares is going to be Stamkos 2.0. He'll re-sign just before he's about to be UFA. I think he loves playing for the Islanders too much to leave for any other team.

Tavares would have to be stupid to sign with Montreal with Julien as their coach and Bergevin as their GM.

Besides NYI, the only team that makes sense from a needs and win perspective is the Blues if they can somehow find a way to get him and be under the cap.

What has he won ? Please don`t be talking about the Olympics or World JR gold or individual awards it means nothing The cup is all that matters
Sure nothing matters to show a person is a winner but a Cup when it suits your narrative. He has won a Calder Cup, WJ gold. Olympic Gold along with some nice individual awards. To say he is not a winner is just being obtuse or not knowing hockey at all.

True or false Carey Price is a winner in the NHL ?

If you know anything about Price you'd know he wouldn't even call himself a winner not yet anyway because he knows that statement is for Stanley Cup Champions

Reporter to Gretzky what makes Crosby one of the best ever ? Answer Crosby wins when it matters most he's a winner.
Maybe you think Gretzky is obtuse or knows nothing also ? I'll side with Gretzky over you on this subject . Yes I know Price has had success but not in the playoffs and that's when it matters most.

What part of if the Islanders do not move him by the February 26th tradeline they get nothing for him....do you not understand....it is a fact.

What don't you understand about that many teams would be willing to give up a 1st+ a top prospect + for Tavares.

What the hell does bring a quote about Crosby from Gretzky have to do with Carey Price? He struggled in all but one playoff early in his career , but Price has been great to excellent in the last three playoffs and who knows what might have happened in 2014 had he not been injured. The last two playoff appearances are hardly on Price, it's hard to win without scoring.
