That awkward moment when you post the same link and get merged.

Gotta think that puts Tampa out of the running of the Tavares sweepstakes now. Unless Yzerman intends to flip him if Tavares commits to the team.

no tavares anymore then?

so that closes the book on Tavares to Tampa

I saw "Confirmed Signing with Link: - Ta..." and assumed the worst.

Think this takes TB out of the running. Unless they manage to move 2 of Johnson, Callahan and Killorn before July 1st.

 

[JT Kreider]

Yeeesh better them than us

RIP Tampares

Same here

 

[DrJustice]

Seems like he was a pretty good fit with Stamkos and Kucherov

 

[Mikeaveli]

I didn't expect or particularly want this to happen

 

[Joel Ward]

Good player but a big contract. Not giving more term is a good idea though given his style of play.

No JT in Tampa makes me really happy as a leafs fan

 

[Schenn]

So I guess that means Tampa is out of the running for Tavares?

I saw "Confirmed signing with Link: Ta..." and assumed the worst.

Couldn't sign him before July 1st even if we wanted. It would be considered tampering and the Islanders would crucify us and probably get Kucherov out of it.

Sign and trade, please. I want to watch Tavares feed Stamkos and Kucherov, not Miller feed the other team. (((((((

no tavares anymore then?

I think we are out but you never know with yzerman

 

[The Macho King]

If this deal has no NMC/NTC, it's pretty good.

 

[Nick Hansen]

What does that do to their cap? Kucherov's due for a massive raise, Point as well. Extensions coming up defensemen as well.

 

[Raymoondo]

Wrong J.T.

 

[Brunomics]

Seems fair for a guy that has back to back 50 point seasons. Will probably put up 65 next year on that team.

 

[Skolman]

Fair deal

Technically there is JT in Tampa, given this thread. We need an Yzerman/Benning-looking-shocked crossover meme.

 

[HunterSThompson]

That seems like a lot, but he is pretty versatile and still has room to grow.
