I heard Tavares wants a low key place where there is very little media attention. In that case i think San Jose would be a great spot for him.

let me guess. Lou was hire by the Maple leaf to get hired by the Isles to get Tavares in Toronto. Seems pretty legit.

Sounds like his opinion rather than news.

 

[bleedblue1223]

If true, Toronto will probably get their guy.

San Jose and rest of Cali have a great media coverage of the cali team.. Hockey is really present in California and arenas are packed

He was the former beat writer for the Islanders for newsday and now writes for the Athletic. He's definitely connected to the organization. I've even had him on my radio show.

For the sake of argument Staple doesn't have the greatest track record for Islander rumors(even though he reported on us for a bunch of years). Only on occasion he would call a signing a day or so before it would happen(and I am guessing he was feed that info)

I get Toronto... but why LA?

Not gonna argue cuz Hockey is really present in Cali but it’s completely different media/pressure playing in Toronto

Islander insider. Rumoured to be the only guy that really got anything from Snow. Snow’s gone, so...

 

[Strummergas]

Article also states that the Isles are the front-runners, so...

def agreeing there. Mtl, Toronto and Edmonton are on an other planet.

 

[rent free]

i'm actually surprised and happy at this news

 

[ACC1224]

What's his connection to LA?

 

[al secord]

Oh Arthur.

With him wanting to play in a lower pressure environment, I think him wanting to sign in Toronto is BS

The kings have less than 10 million in cap space even if the cap goes up to 80 million how do they make the room
