Won’t win anything with the group of dmen the Leafs have. It’s an exciting signing but really after losing Bozak/JVR and not upgrading the defense... this signing is smoke and mirrors.

I usually agree with alot of what you say but give it a break. It is July 1st and the season doesn't start for how many months ?

Man whoever has Twitter needs to go to JT's page and put some nice comments on his tweet.

Islanders fans are really ripping into him.

Wow...

I honestly thought this was an absurd long-shot as little as a week ago.

Was hearing $11 million for 7 years. If that is the case, that honestly isn't bad for a FA franchise centre. The Leafs are going to be absurd down the middle now!

well, time to win is right now.

But we're gonna have to do it without any major external upgrades.

and we better have a plan to trade Marleau at some point, because we need every bit of that cap space next year.

I'm still betting that this deal doesn't turn out much better than the toews/Vinny/staal/spezza type deals did...but at least in our situation, unlike those ones, we're signing Tavares as our 2nd line C, not our 1C.

As the celebrations get underway, remember that the next day can be painful... especially if you’ve got dicks for friends:

How can this be? There was a Hockey News article about where JT91 would sign and it didn't mention the Leafs among the 17 teams listed in the article.

I guess $11M doesn't buy you what it use to

Pfffft! Barely need a defence. With this lineup up front, teams will be playing defensively and would be crazy to push the play.

This team will be scoring punches in bunches!
