Injury Report: Tavares out minimum two weeks.

[Heisen]

Considering his pace before the injury, games missed, and a slightly lower pace on his immediate return, a 50-point season for Tavares seems to be what we'll get.

For $11M, this should cost Dubas his job.

It's more likely he's in the high 60s to low 70s, kind of the Auston Matthews range from last season.

I'm less worried about pure numbers and more hoping he's meshing well with the team when he gets back and stabilizes defensively.

I'm not firing anybody.

If you're going to be a gimmick account, you could at least be a little bit funny

True, Dubas should have seen this injury coming before signing off on the contract.

Has there been any update on him or when he may be able to play again?

I heard he isn't expected to play Saturday, but he is practicing with pucks now... He can't be far off, I suspect we'll have him back in the lineup next week.

Thanks, hopefully by Tuesday then.

I heard last night he will play next week. He should practice in no hit jersey this week.

Excellent.
Taking Gramma to her first game Tuesday and she loves JT.

So do I. Enough of the jump on Marner crap on here too. With JT back I think you will see an improved Marner and maybe even Moore too for a short period until Hyman back.

Yeah, I'm not worried about Mitch. He'll figure it out, he's too good not to.
How far away is Hyman?

Stuey said his knee is still a little tight and sore next day after skating so I don't think it is anytime soon. But who knows with therapy and loosening of the muscles lets hope sooner than later. The fact that he is even skating amazes me.

 

[Koolboss]

I'll say it now and said it when JT was signed. Great player but Leafs did not need him it was a bad signing that will cost this team.

 

[Amadeus]

I would have fine pursuing Duchene and retaining Kadri while saving cap space. But I’d be lying if I say I didnt want him for the sheer excitement.

A 1-2 combo at centre that only Pittsburgh can rival and you are unhappy with that. Strength down the middle has always been the way to win. 2 centres, a shutdown d man and a $$$ goalie used to get you multiple Cups.

Looking at the team without him, they definitely need him. I'm not sure his contract will age well, but right now he's more than worth it

And this relates to the injury how?

Gretz and Mess
Trots and Goring
Crosby and Malkin

All I'm saying he didn't not improve the Leafs significantly from the year before he was signed as an FA by the Leafs.

Right, but we could have kept Kadri as a 2nd line with way less money

 

[Koolboss]

It relates because the JT signing and Kadri trade has left as weak down the middle.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Sure, it's very easy to get inferior players for less money. No team in the world would rather have Kadri than Tavares though

 

[Kurtz]

Right, but we could have kept Kadri as a 2nd line with way less money

But then no Kerfoot, so we'd have Spezza or someone of that ilk as our 3rd line C. May have been forced to retain Bozak there. Also, no Barrie, although wed be able to retain Jake.

On paper though u take Tavarez, Kerfoot, Barrie over Kadri, Bozak, Jake quite easily imo, even if Barrie is a rental.
