Take out Lehtera and change the 2018 2nd to a 1st
Any package from the blues starts with Parayko.

He's untouchable
That's fine, don't think the blues will be getting JT than.
I mean, I don't see why they wouldn't take a package of
Fabbri- 55-65pt potential winger with possibility to move to center.
Barbashev- 35-50pt potential two-way C
Schmaltz- 30-35pt potential offensive RHD
Back to back years of 1sts
If he doesn't take the Isles' offer they obviously have to trade him and no team is trading for him as a one year rental - like the ROR trade it will be a hockey trade to a team he's ready to sign a deal with. Buffalo traded Nikita Zadorov, Mikhail Grigorenko, J.T. Compher and the No. 31 pick.
Toronto makes sense, they could trade Nylander, a 1st rounder, and one of their defense prospects, Dermott or Nielsen. Seems fair considering they're getting a superstar who's still pretty young.
For Leafs fans who figure they can wait and sign him for free as a UFA, i highly doubt he gets to UFA status.
What part of that makes sense for Toronto?
Uh - the part where you get a 26 year old superstar center?
Ah Leafs fans. Everywhere with their "OUR ROOKIES WILL KEEP THIS PRODUCTION UP AND ONLY IMPROVE".
Tavares is better. I wouldn't trade him for Marner AND Nylander. No GM would.
Tavares being 26 makes the 8 years more understandable. However, I really don't see why the Islanders would sign him to that big contract. They're very unlikely to win the cup in the next few years where JT is in his prime and you're paying for that prime. So, if you're not winning then make a huge trade, collect some good assets and finish off this semi rebuild with all the good young pieces they have
I hope he is watching the sens play. we would love him here.
Oh I get it - John Tavares for Kapanen, Carrick and a 2nd rounder. That makes sense.
They have no money. Budget team, have Ryan and Phaneuf making nearly 15M.
If Tavares doesn't sign with NYI, I can see him going to Montreal to recreate some Team Canada magic.
Weber, Tavares, Price? They would still lack depth but at least have a star at every position.
I'm 99% sure Tavares will re-sign in NYI and regret it in a couple years. He seems like a loyal guy and will go down with the ship in NYI.
he wouldn't say that he has some things to think over and decide about? it's not like he said the isles suck and he wants to leave, despite the common hfboards belief.
No, he acted like a pro, regardless of what he might think about the state of the team. If you offer him that 10 million for 8 yrs.......at some point you are going to suffer Dan Girardi/M. Staal syndrome and have that cap anchor with a 32yr old+ player.
I'm not arguing that JT is a good player, he is an awesome player, but he is not a 10 million dollar player. There are only a few of those in the league. If that is what it is going to take to keep him, you have to wonder about where his head is at. To a guy who has made a ton of money, what is the difference between 7.5 million and 10 million......in reality? No home team discount?
don't think there is, and honestly i think jt is a guy who would take a discount, but why would you take one if you don't have to. just think about your own job, if you got less money than you felt you deserved i doubt you would be happy about it.
that sinking ship, you know, with the top 10 prospect pool they have.
didn't know you could see into the future.
