Speculation: Where does Tavares end up?

[Flat Ronnie]

I actually think he's the one that takes the chance on Toronto.

 

[Master P]

I just hope for the fans from the rest of the league that he does not sign there not only would it be beneficial as they cant gloat like this or be hilarious them saying that they never wanted him.

"it was only a minority of fans that expressed any interest in him, the leafs fans base is so huge that its only natural there will be more trolls yadyadayada". Par for the course.

 

[Stammertime91]

Yeah providing he doesn't go to Boston or Toronto I don't mind if he signed anywhere else really. Both fanbases are insufferable and adding him would just make those games even tougher. Bergeron and Tavares or Matthews and Tavares is not something I want to see. Nor does Tampa management more than likely.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

not tampa.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

I got a feeling that he is going to go to Toronto the amount of money which they could probably offer is way more than us. I will be shocked if he stays at the moment of time. Only factor is does he want to move for more money or does he want to win the cup, as harsh as this seems is Toronto the best place for him to achieve that?.

San Jose can offer a lot more money than Toronto. The Matthews Nylander and Marner contracts are all super soon (Nylander this summer)

 

[Todd1a]

not tampa.

He will come to Tampa if he leaves the islanders it’s because he wants to win

 

[Fabiobest]

He'll play for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

I think Tampa has very few chances to sign him.

 

[DFC]

I still feel like it's San Jose. The management has proven itself over a longer period than the other teams in the race. And they're the team who can pay him too.

I still think the islanders are the leader

I agree but I think if it’s not them it’s the Sharks.

I don’t know I think the sharks could be getting used and dragged along

I wouldn't trust Garth Snow to drive the zamboni.

I'd feel similar if I wasn't convinced that Yzerman has an ace up his sleeve.

you never no with yzerman I can't predict him watch him move killorn out and coburn and not johnson lol

 

[These Are The Days]

Oh FFS.... He'll commit to Stockholm syndrome but not an actually competent leadership group?

He already said there's no plans to trade Johnson

It could be a 20+ million difference in contract, if the reports about $100m are true.

islanders ownership is desperate to keep him for sure

 

[These Are The Days]

My God watching the Leafers squirm is delicious. The tears of unimaginable sadness if Tavares goes anywhere else -even if he stays on LI

 

[Felonious Python]

Chris Botta is a long-time former Islanders employee, so I'm inclined to believe him.

 

[These Are The Days]

This is my desperate plea to those with photoshop and movie editor skills. In the event of the Leafs not being chosen by John Tavares, shop his face onto Ramsay Bolton during the scene where he takes Theon (with Leafs logo) back to the Dreadfort without him realizing it, lights the torch and illuminates the torture cross with his selected team's logo on it and Theon gets put back up kicking and screaming.

"Put him back where he belongs"

 

[Master P]

Ahh, nice to see i'm still banned from the main Tavares thread. Last night was fun.
