News: Tavares to Explore Market - To Speak with 5 teams: TODAY IS THE DAY (Mod Warning in #1)

[nturn06]

Ya bro, and Detroit went 42 years, Chicago went 51, NYR went 54 all with less success in 6 team league.

And what is the point you are trying to make by bringing up some other very pathetic performances?

I never really got the point of arguments of the type: you know this is not that bad because look there were other really bad things... AND????

 

[Ainec]

anyone know a good site to place prop bet on this?

Islanders were +125 but I think that has changed

 

[RomanianLeafs]

This thread is poison. 454 pages of leaf fans spewing verbal diarrhea.

Idem for Leafs haters like u

 

[djdev]

Lol some angry oilers mcdavid nut

i really try to stay out of these arguments...but wow that was some next level passive aggressive nonsense

 

[PittsburghPens8771]

Poor guy is dodging bullets between his keystrokes

? No idea what that even means?

 

[Kranix]

That's not how it works, unless the leafs trade Matthews to Zona.

....because he won't sign.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Damn anyone else just get that dark Dreger retweeet

 

[JT Kreider]

If I were an Islanders fan I would be besides myself to the point I can't even function crawled up in the fetal position in my bed unable to move

 

[TheDoldrums]

Damn anyone else just get that dark Dreger retweeet

I'm never driving in that province.

I wish Tavares sign in Toronto, and I am a Mtl fans.

Toronto needs to show the way to Mtl's owners. They need to do what they did, plan a proper rebuild.
And maybe in 2-4 years we will be relevant again, and we could start to hate each other's team again like we used to.
Its hard to hate a team when you both sucks, and its harder to hate a team when you are last and they could aim for the first place in the east.

I honestly look forward to the day when both teams are good and meet in the playoffs. It will be a classic with the history and the Habs/Leafs fans....

If googling isnt hard then why do you keep saying 1-1 instead of 1-0-1?

cause i dont care that much. we got 2 points, whatever..i was more making the point of if you are going to argue with somebody its not hard to google the games to make sure you are at least correct.

and "keep saying" isnt correct either considering i said it once

 

[Paradoc]

Geez so many whiny fans out here lol.

 

[Bonzo111]

i really try to stay out of these arguments...but wow that was some next level passive aggressive nonsense

I thought it was pretty straight up aggressive myself

BREAK NEWS: "Tavares is inching closer to a decision." - Dreger

I cannot believe a moron like Dreger still has a job lol

 

[A Loyal Dog]

A close source just told me that Tavares has officially narrowed his list down to Toronto, San Jose, and Tampa. Dallas, Boston, and NYI are officially out. He's leaning towards Toronto at this very moment. Take it for what it's worth.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

....because he won't sign.

I guess that is just a road we will have to cross in 7 years.

 

[Liferleafer]

If googling isnt hard then why do you keep saying 1-1 instead of 1-0-1?

Because the Leafs were 1-1 against Vegas?

 

[JawandaPuck]

The parties, NYI, TOR and Team Tavares, are likely negotiating a sign and trade that gets Tavares an 8th year, NYI some assets, and TOR a cap hit break.

They have until midnight ET to that type of deal done. It's going to cost TOR some assset, perhaps draft picks. No wonder it's taking so long to get done in that case.

 

[93gilmour93]

....because he won't sign.

And thanks for watching CNN folks

 

[NoName]

....because he won't sign.

I sincerely doubt that. The Leafs will pretty much offer him whatever it takes, and history shows that franchise caliber RFAs tend to stay with their teams past their ELC. Unless Matthews flatly refuses to sign with Toronto no matter what (and I think that is a very unlikely situation), I think you can pretty much book him as a Leaf for years to come, no matter where Tavares goes.

 

[djdev]

I thought it was pretty straight up aggressive myself

he started it all friendly like "if the leafs sign tavares it would be a good story" then it went downhill pretty fast lol

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Really? Finished first in division once. In 50 years. Lost second round that year. Stretching the definition of contender.

For a half decade they were top 5 in the league for playoff rounds won.

 

[Master P]

I think he's gonna be a good fit in San Jose.

 

[Drew311]

I miss the food discussions. Childish fans have taken over once again.

He refuses because he's going home to Arizona one way or another.
