Might as well just cancel the next 7 seasons, the Leafs have already won all all those cups.

They're going to win every game 6-5. and I like Freddie Anderson, but they have like 3 NHL defenseman.
They were 12th in the league in GAA and ahead of Washington this past season.
This is all I have to say about Tavares.
I'm happy for him. I'm happy for the Toronto franchise, in that they are being well run right now. Obviously I have little to no interest in the Leafs winning, but that doesn't stop me from recognizing it was a good day for their franchise and, more importantly, to the player who seems to be a pretty stand up guy.

I have changed my mind a bit about the last. In reading his comments about fulfilling a life long dream to play for the Leafs (or something to that effect) and the reported rumors of him requesting to not be traded at the deadline, then engaging in a week long Lebron like soap opera negotiations, seems to me he was being anything but a stand up guy. Maybe I'm just tired of all these athletes being treated like they will bring world peace or a cure for cancer. I don't know.
James Neal turning down 5x5 from Vegas to sign 5x5.75 with CGY is completely odd to me..

He prefers the mountains to the desert? I mean, in another thread, we just chalked up Cole's move to Colorado to possibly preferring the scenery there.

I'm thinking he prefers rodeo to gambling & show girls. Plus I think it's a dry cold in Calgary.
That was a joke I made. As well as a personal preference of scenery having spent a lot of time in both states.
I forgot we can't make jokes around here.

I'm not joking in either instance. I believe you could be right about Cole. We don't know the guy. Same for Neal. Maybe, both being given the opportunity to choose where they want to play, chose based on their geographical preferences.
Lol I didn't even realize it was you in the other thread. Give yourself some credit, man.

Don't confuse negotiation with character. It would be poor a negotiation tactic to advertise to the world where you wanted your destination to be. The Islanders were likely his second choice. In addition, this was his chance to be a UFA.
The only thing that I might have done different is have my agent advertise to the Islanders I was going to UFA status and tell any team they considered trading me to that I would likely be a rental.

No they'll have a top pairing that's much better than ours.
Jones = Hedman
Werenski <<< Karlsson
Their top pair will have 3 Norris trophies, ours have none. Maybe in a few years Z-Jones will be on the same level.

For now. In two years, we'll see. Werenski is very good in all three zones and while he may not have the same offensive ceiling, his is still elite level.
You’re cherry picking my post. The follow up statement in mine is the same as your response.
