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

[nyrage]

At least Shawshank Redemption is on while we wait.

 

[Territory]

JT was waiting for the part 2 before making an decisions.

 

[BB6]

Maybe we should just not have a main boards thread until there is some actual news haha. I know that defeats the purpose of a discussion board but the news-to-fighting ratio was getting rather low.

What did you call me?

 

[Matt24]

I think 100% he stays in NYI

100%? lol. We’re literally 3.5 hours away from the Isles losing the one significant advantage thy have over the other teams.

 

[DanM]

Im sad

Why?

I am just more bored...lol

 

[GongShowWilly]

on the edge of my seat …………. come on Johnny

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Is he supposed to decide sometime tonight?

I've been out of the loop on this.

If he doesn't sign with NYI tonight that probably means he is leaving. Otherwise it will be tomorrow but basically nothing has leaked from anywhere.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Make your decision so I can stop refreshing and see if my family is still alive.

 

[Steve]

Although maybe with him in Toronto they could finally get past the 1st round

Finally past th 1st round? We just recently started getting to the 1st round.

 

[PromisedLand]

Damn it mods I thought he signed already.

 

[compan]

Is there a plane we can follow again to kill some time?

 

[SI90]

He’s not going to decide until mid July. This is all for nothing.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

I think 100% he stays in NYI

yep. never any doubt to this.

 

[firstemperor]

Dam, I wanted to see the first thread reach 500 pages

 

[Aoko]

Now drinking an iced cappuccino from Tim Horton's. This heat, coupled with this waiting on Tavares, is actually frying my brain.

OMG, I spit a full mouthful of food out!!! Post of the thread/s.

 

[2 Slick]

If he was going to stay in Long Island, it would've happened days ago, heck, yesterday even. It's not happening.

 

[Master P]

NOOOOOOOOOOO, I wanted my 500 page thread

 

[Mr Positive]

If he doesn't sign with NYI tonight that probably means he is leaving. Otherwise it will be tomorrow but basically nothing has leaked from anywhere.

If he doesn't sign tonight it could just mean that he hasn't decided yet. He could still get the full 8 years if he waited past July 1st.

Case in point: what if the Isles make significant upgrades? They are reportedly looking for a goalie, and could get a key free agent or two. In theory the main reason JT is considering leaving Brooklyn is because the team is good, but with Lu in charge and good moves already happening it's a whole new ball game.

 

[jw2]

I’m thinking we hear the decision soon...

 

[Doublechin]

He's waiting for the inevitable call from Bergevin at midnight offering him 15M a year for 5 years making sure he still gets another huge contract after this one and the chance to play with a bunch of nobodies. How could he say no

 

[Fonzieleaf]

If he were to stay with NYI he would have signed an extension by now. That’s my two cents.

[Sam Spade]

Who is Dean Blundell?

 

[Matt24]

Tavares decided it was too hot in Toronto today to make a decision without the weather affecting it. Come back tomorrow.

 

[ottawa]

Anyone else excited for the great HF crash of 2018...oh wait that happened a week ago. Well the 2nd one.

Tomorrow is going to be a shit show, hope the servers run smoothly this time.

La familia es todo.
