#analytics

 

[Boothinator]

Isles are out #TavaresWatch

They f***ed up big time

 

[SoupyFIN]

RIP in pieces HF.

 

[GermanPanther]

And so its happen we have the first cloudserver problems. Its time to shoot down Avatar.

 

[GermanPanther]

Lmao.

But for the Coyotes it looks now a bit more solide, with all their Addition in the last Years. I dont see they make something wrong here.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Grabner was a big nothing burger for NJD in the playoffs.

What a dumb deal.

 

[Boothinator]

Forum collapsed immediately after it was announced that Tavares will leave

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Tavares to Toronto, 7 year deal.

****

 

[GermanPanther]

R.I.P. HF Board see ya the next Hours

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Yeah Toronto's defense sucks but they won't have to play much with Tavares and Matthews.

And of course within division.

barf, hopefully they at least have to move one of Nylander/Marner now and Tavares has an insane cap hit.

 

[RainingRats]

Toronto has 2 #1C and a #2C. Pretty ridiculous forward group. Hopefully they have cap problems with an 11 AAV.

Wish Tallon would make another big move after they got JT but we're likely done.

Yikes. Panthers need to respond to the Tavares move.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I'm not so convinced about the Leafs. They are losing a ton of depth. They'll be a bubble team.

Also Boston will take a step back and NJ was trending down half a season after an incredible start. Philly isn't anything special either.

I guess what I'm saying is everyone else sucks.

They were better anyways. Now they definitely are with JT. But as noted, the bottom of the East is trash and Florida should be better than one of NJD or Philly. 3 of NJD, Fla, Cbj and Philly make it. No one else is even con. tending

Maybe Dale can bring back Guddy?

Now the Leafs are better but I thought Tavares goes to SJ.

Toronto still has a depth problem in the bottom six and the defense is very average.

But either way this sucks big time.

11 million

Yeah only good thing out of this because **** it’s gonna be hard to contain those guys.

 

[GermanPanther]

The Problem will come next season, already this Season.
Matthews will ask McDavid money, Nylander asking money plays also a big Fact and then Marner, with another huge Season will ask the same price.
And from there own Leafs will have Cap Problem.

Alone Tavres 11
Mattews maybe 10-11
Marner 4-6
Nylander 6-8

That makes 33-40 Million on 4 Players on 79,5 Cap. Congrats

 

[Breaking Dadonov]

Toronto gets Tavares. This is what you call going all in. They already have a very good
Top 6 and just made it elite. Anyone still against making another addition to our top 6? Toronto just took a big leap ahead of us, Tampa is still ahead of us as well as Boston. We need to keep pace and make another addition.

I see Marner getting $6 million minimum and he may get matching deals with Nylander who's basically confirmed to be a winger going forward now with JT signing there.
No way Nylander gets above $7 million.

Leafs plan on winning games 5-4, 6-5, 7-6 every game I guess.

 

[Chaos2k7]

I still like TB more than TOR.

We will see how it shakes out for them.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

De Haan still available.

I wonder if his shoulders are busted or what.

 

[IceKitties]

Man I'm not happy about Tavares joining our division. Still have nightmares of when he basically carried his team against us in the 2016 playoffs. Sure it's still likely we make the playoffs this year, but I'm not sure how far we can get when we'll most likely have to play TOR, TB, or whoever wins the Metro division.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Yikes. Panthers need to respond to the Tavares move.

The worst thing FLA could do is a knee-jerk reaction and overpaying for someone. You don't answer to a 1C hand picking to sign with his childhood team.

Besides it's one player. Yes, Tavares is a really good player, but how much does one player really help when the playoffs roll around? This move doesn't address their d-men problems, arguably it makes the problem worse since they're gonna have so much money tied up to their forwards.
