Value of: Tavares

[CREW99AW]

Would have been nice to have him in these playoffs, I reckon. Maybe the Isles could have been competitive against the contenders?

Oh well, there's always next year...

Yeah,maybe instead of just making game 6 of the ECF, the isles could have made the SC finals

Oh and no way Tavares waives his NMC.

 

[Cotton]

You should then expect the same results in the playoffs as prior years.

You were bored so you bumped this?

 

[Captain Mountain]

He has a NMC. You're going to have to find a team that:

a) He'd be willing to waive to go to (and he has a NMC for a reason);
b) Has the liquidity to pay his contract (its basically all bonuses);
c) Has the pieces that Toronto wants available in a trade (which seems unlikely); and
d) Would move said pieces (which is more unlikely than c unless Tavares says that he's willing to go anywhere).

I don't see it happening.

 

[leeroggy]

They really weren't...they were better in one game, where Tampa had 2 key players out and a suspension.

So, even if we take your expert analysis . . . if Tampa sweeps the next 4 games the Isles were 'Merrrlin Competitive Compliant' with 30 of the 31 teams! PLEASE . . .

Yes Lebrun reported that JT/his agent and the leafs tried to get a trade with the isles to get the extra year/lower cap

JT/Dubas was willing to let the isles fans get the assets they were freaking out about.

but lou refused to take the trade.

I wonder how much he cost them? Picks? Prospects?

So you think the isles would have received the same quality picks/prospects for Tavares rights days before July 1st, as they would have at the TDL, with multiple teams bidding for Tavares?

Do you realize how ridiculous that spin is? Seriously.

So, the guy lies to us for a full year and we should do him a favor? And Lebrun was likely providing cover to JT for his perfidity . . . which needing reinforcing with JT Appreciation Night . . .

Tavares for Weber + Danault.
Leafs will laugh at this, but it brings leadership, grit and a #1D.

Habs get a #1 center and can either sign a D in free agency, or trade Domi for a D similar to Dumba.

Are you nuts??

Tavares and his fluffy Leafs PJ's can stay in TO.

Weber and Danault are more important to the team than JT FFS.

And you think the Leafs will laugh at this? Yeah they would laugh all the way to the bank if they managed to get rid of Tavares!

Also, Tavares declined to even have an interview with Habs management and now he will waive his NMC to come play for us?? LOL

Come on now!

This whole question of JT’s value is moot anyway. Zero chance he gives up his No Move. Plus, his contract is kind of a no move too.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Exactly brother!

Only a bottom feeder who needs to hit the cap floor would consider JT, but JT would never waive to go there!

JT went to Toronto to stay. If the Leafs move out a big contract player it’s 100% for sure not going to be him. It’s bad form to ask a guy in that situation to waive his NMC too. He’s a Leaf to the end of this contract. And he should be.

 

[Stimpythecat]

Not too many bottom feeders are under the cap floor. Only 5 teams are currently below the floor.

Colorado - 14 signed / $59,135,595
New Jersey - 13 signed / $55,254,999
Buffalo - 10 signed / $47,041,667 (Reinhart, Olafsson RFA)
Detroit - 11 signed / $46,825,000 (Bertuzzi RFA)
Ottawa - 10 signed / $41,904,167

Four should easily get over the floor just by filling out the roster. The only team the cap floor argument could be made is for Ottawa. I don't think anyone is waiving a NMC to go there.

Habs pass big and i mean BIG TIME.

 

[Sparksrus3]

Leafs need to allocate his cap spend on other areas .

cap hit - 11m but only has 34m actual salary left to be paid out so about 7m per x 5yrs

downside is he has a nmc but he wouldn't be the first player moved with that clause

so what do people feel he's worth ?

Leafs needs -

-top 4 D
-2nd-3rd line C
-picks prospects to use cap space savings to use to fill above needs if JT trade doesn't

value of Tavares ?

Leafs 2016/17.
95 points lost in round one

Leafs 2017/18
105 points lost in round one

Leafs 2018/19
100 points lost in round one

Leafs 2019/20
Pace for 95 points if a full season.
No playoffs

two seasons in Toronto and looks like he has had zero affect on the team results.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Forgot to wish Tavares a Happy 30th Birthday earlier this week. The big 30, glad he did not sign with the Isles. That 11M cap hit of a contract is not going to age well. As I said, maybe he did not like what Lou and Barry were selling in terms of team philosophy. About the logo and not the name on the back of the jersey.

 

[Perennial]

He took millions less to sign with Toronto, and has a NMC...

 

[Lainehasaweirdface]

I don't recall OP asking if Tavares would waive his NMC. I'm pretty sure he asked the value of JT.

 

[ole ole]

He took millions less to sign with Toronto, and has a NMC...

And still got over-paid from the Leafs.

 

[Legion34]

And still got over-paid from the Leafs.

only because he didn’t want to meet with the habs

 

[A Pointed Stick]

I’d say his value is about 18 holes, and a cart.

Something like that. Less than a week, not a huge bump.

Oh well, there's always next year...

I am happy with how far we did go. This year cannot end soon enough for most of us, and I got to watch my team get by three teams before losing to the Lightning. I wonder who we would have gotten in a trade, even in his final year, if he had not lied to keep your team intact?

 

[Tres Peleches]

Pre-Covid the contract is moveable... in this new flat-cap era though? It would be a very hard sell, at least to get value for what you’re giving up in Tavares... if you’re willing to sell for pennies on the dollar (and he’s willing to waive), then yeah you can move him

Given the current circumstances they’re probably just better off holding on to him and looking for other ways to clear cap space

 

[Halla]

trades JT. biggest need listed as 2C..make sense lol


Matthews
Kerfoot
Engvall
Gauthier


yeah..JT is going absolutel;y nowhere
