Clearly says the Leafs can afford him and are the wild card.
i think you missed the point they can trade a player(s) to make cap. unlike the leafs where they have to fill multiple roster spots.
This article is not from the Toronto media,Lol gonna be another fun offseason when Tavares doesn’t go to the leafs.... Same people just never learn.
Clearly says they could afford him next season. Cleary also says the year after that, they need to find the money for Matthews and Marner. And none of this factors in what the Leafs actually have to upgrade which is their defense.
If Dubas committed $11 million in additional cap money to upgrade their offence - which doesn't need upgrading - leaving him no money to bring in some defenders, he would be seriously jeopardizing the Leafs window.
I don't understand why Leaf fans want Tavares. This isn't a hockey pool. It's an actual hockey team. Goal scoring and offensive production is not the Leafs weakness, it's their strength.
Really do I have to explain to you why Leaf fans would want Matthews Tavares Kadri down the middle? That Should speak for itself
I guess GF doesn't mean the Offense is good either. Just go away. This is getting stupidGA doesn't determine whether your defense is good or not. our defense is atrocious
Leafs fans have always been unbearable.

Let's say the Leafs don't sign Tavares, however they are willing to gamble that either Doughty or Karlsson become UFA's in 2019, since everyone says they need help on defense a lot more. If either of those two want at least $10+ on a 7 year UFA contract, won't those same people who say they can not afford Matthews, Marner and Nylander if Tavares signs say the same thing if they sign Doughty or Karlsson?Clearly says they could afford him next season.

If he doesn't come here we move on, this isn't 2016 anymore we don't need a saviour now we just need pieces.
I personally think he goes to Vegas

The picture would be a lot clearer next off-season on what Toronto could or couldn't afford to do with perhaps all of their three young forwards re-signed.
More importantly, if it's Doughty or Karlsson they are looking to sign, at least it would be addressing a need and a player worth freeing up cash elsewhere on their roster to bring in. I don't think Tavares is that guy and moreso, I highly doubt Dubas does either.
Either way the I see it the Leafs are dammed if they do dammed if they don't in the minds of fans from other teams. If they sign Tavares others are assuming they can not keep Matthews, Marner and Nylander. If that does not happen and they happen to sign either Doughty or Karlsson in 2019 and this also depends on what the salary cap will be, those same people will say how can they afford Matthews, Marner, Nylander and either Doughty or Karlsson?The picture would be a lot clearer next off-season on what Toronto could or couldn't afford to do with perhaps all of their three young forwards re-signed.

It depends what Shanny thinks that's what matters Shanny is the boss
The Leafs would be able to pay Tavares and still afford Matthews, Marner and Nylander. I do agree that there is a need on the back end, but this idea that they couldn't afford to add him isn't true.Clearly says they could afford him next season.

The Leafs have about 23 million now, 28 if the cap goes to 80 million as is reported, that also doesn't include Horton's LTIR which we found out last year you can use in the summer.
The Leafs are completely fine
As stated before our goals against was almost entirely Andersen VERY little to do with the D
So when is he getting his Vezina? Taking a team that should apparently be bottom 5 in GA to top-11 is nothing short of a miracle.
You don’t not go after a plyer of Tavares caliber because offence is not a pressing need. Tavares makes any team much better. There’s maybe 3-4 centres in the league better than him. You sign him if you can end of story.Clearly says they could afford him next season. Cleary also says the year after that, they need to find the money for Matthews and Marner.
