Can the Islander's please extend Tavares from now and put this moot discussion to rest?
Tavares is the Islanders and the Leafs have a different philosophy based on growing our own prospects.
If it wasn't for Tavares being from Toronto, this wouldn't even be a point of discussion. With Matthews now in the fold, we are going to develop our own #1 centre, rather than trade our depth to get someone else's. Pretty sure that's how all these other successful teams have done it too.
Please no more Tavares to Toronto crap. It is not a fit and there is no real scenario where it makes sense, unless Tavares forces his way out and it is clear that isn't going to happen.
Let "Tavares to Toronto" join "Stamkos to Toronto" in the waste basket, and let's start to focus on McDavid to Toronto!
