Let's not get crazy, just have a little chat about Tavares as a free agent.
Do the Leafs make a play for him?
yes we have a young core that we need to sign to contracts but would they take a shot at building around
Matthews - Nylander
Tavares - Marner
it's hard to keep that many top players but if we look at Chicago they have 32 million tied up in their top four fowards (when Panarin's deal kicks in) and are still able to have 16 million spent on their big 3 defenders.
Look at guys like Barkov, Tarasenko etc. it's realistic we could lock our kids up on good AAV contracts and have no problem fitting in Tavares' contract.
given our forward prospects and the great job our scouting team has done to restock the cupboards they could fill in the surrounding area with younger cheaper guys as our core grows.
Not speculating on him hitting FA or even wanting to play in TO.. just curious if you guys think Toronto would be interested in setting that as their core 4 moving forward.
