Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] John Tavares signs with the Leafs (7 years, $11M AAV)

[LordZapp]

Read what he was replying to. The original post indicated there were already two number one centres and Leafs will get a third one. The third being Tavares. Who is the 2nd number one center with Matthews as the other? Reading comprehension...

Cmon man, don't bring logic in here.. Gtfo

Sorry to disappoint you boys, Shero's been keeping this lowkey this whole time.

He'll be a Devils in... 10 minutes.

I honestly don't think Tavares is going to sign today.

 

[Muston Atthews]

What part of that was funny?

You’re so concerned about the Leafs that you have to compare a potential Matthews/Tavares combo to one of the best one two punches in NHL history to make it seem bad

 

[BMOK33]

I hope that Tavares announce it tomorrow

If it’s tomorrow I’m telling you right now he’s going back to the Islanders. It’s played out insanely odd so far that I’m sure of the

 

[Scott Stevens]

Oh you are funny already... just not in a good way.

Funny like how George Thorogood would use it?

 

[Antropovsky]

Rumour is he signed with San Jose 2 days ago and he’s left on vacation, and left telling the league about the signing with the San Jose Sharks. Sharks management are on vacation too... and left letting the league know about the signing to John Ferguson jr. reason we haven’t heard anything is because John Ferguson jr keeps picking up the phone and saying:

“I can not confirm or deny anything”
“We’re not ready to concede anything”

At this point, it's a matter of negotiating for the most money. Likely reason he hasn't chosen yet is that he's still negotiating with teams to get more money.

Same, but man the longer he drags this out the more hatred he's going to get from Isles fans if he goes somewhere else.

The boo's will be LEGEN.....

DARY.

 

[BMOK33]

And Yzerman would kindly tell him to go **** himself. We’d move Johnson to get Tavares (longterm implications with cap and depth aside) but there’s not a chance in hell we’d trade Kucherov for him.

Why in the world would you deplete that remarkable D core? They are such a strong team the only thing you should mess with is the offense if he signs

I’m not concerned with Toronto. I’m not concerned with anyone at this point in time. My team has nothing to play for for a few more years at least.

If he wants a cup
He should take less money
Commen sence

That isn't how this works. That's not how any of this works.

also FYI -"common sense"

 

[viper0220]

Can John Tavares legally sign in 6 minutes?

 

[Critical13]

5 more mins lads

 

[Kelly]

Who is Anthony Petrelli

 

[Doyoulikeapples*]

I'm just asking a simple question. Why do I need to be out of my mind?

Once Tavares is signed , him and Matthews.

 

[StanleyCup2035]

Eklund reports he is going to Toronto! So must be between San Jose and Tampa now?

 

[Steve]

Looking forward to the consensus HF agreement that Tavares is either a) game changer and instantly a contender or b) overpaid and overrated.

It is how it works. Too players do it all the tine.

Surprised Dallas, TB,NYI, Bos and SJ have not made any moves since he's surely going to the Leafs

Also for all those that state he's done in NYI because if he was going to stay he's already resigned... sounds right but if he was dreaming of being a Leaf his whole life wouldn't he have signed last night once the NYI 8yr contract situation was done. Really interesting unless its a contract situation (ie details) but then why wouldn't he at least let some of the teams know that. Really weird.

 

[bobholly39]

I hear a rumor Montreal is gonna swoop in and land Tavares...could be announced soon.

 

[phil162888]

I think he tells everyone at noon so 5 minutes is what i'm anticipating
