Does he have an issue with Ladd leaving to sign with the Islanders? Komarov leaving to sign with the Islanders? Lehner leaving to sign with the Islanders? How about the countless other examples?
Joke of a comment.
Those players were not wanted by their teams. I say you have the joke of a comment.
Also, it’s been stated over and over and beaten to death. It’s not that Tavares left, it was his actions and how he left. Playing for the leafs was/is his childhood dream and he’s living his dream. He has a right to do what makes him happy it’s his life. All he had to do was tell the media “ I’m not answering any questions on my contract or upcoming Free agent status.” Done.
Instead all he did was speak on his desire to stay and be an islander for life. He talked constantly about the future of the team and him being a part of it. He was never pressured into these comments either. He offered them up on the regular. That’s why islanders fans are so upset. If no one can see that than that’s their problem.
