Speculation: Where does Tavares end up?

[Todd1a]

Literally means nothing. Nobody knows anything, its all been pure speculation.

Well it has to be between Toronto and San Jose now I see Tampa and the islanders being out now

there are two other teams available as well. Too many people are just going along with all the leaf fans who keep saying "he's coming home, etc.." There had been zero evidence that he is. Its all been speculation. He may very well pick Toronto but until its official i'm not buying into any vague tweets.

I'm fully aware of that, and of the multiple other posts you've made in the main thread stating the exact same thing, but thank you for the info anyway.

If this drags till tomorrow the TV coverage should be interesting at least.

At this point almost assuredly Toronto or SJ. Praying for SJ.

 

[LordZapp]

I still think we have an outside shot at landing him. Probably going to SJ though.

It's starting to feel like a smoke/fire thing with JT and the Leafs. I think he's gonna sign there. Bad news for the Atlantic, obviously.

This will be the last day I pay attention to it, the anticipation is slowly morphing into irritation for me. Unfortunately I don't know what else is in the works, although July 1st is usually a busy day, spending a wee bit too much time reading forum posts.

c'mon man.

How what money at this point could we move ?

Callahan and Coburn is a good start

Killorn, Callahan, Coburn. We can move guys (theoretically) that aren't Johnson.

Beat me to it, could see Killorn getting moved also.

Killorn has a NTC , Callahan modified ntc and coburn modified ntc good luck

Breaking news lightning sign sustr to a two year deal

I got a bad feeling Tavares is going to Toronto and I think Boston and Tampa were only in the talks to put pressure on Toronto to pay more

The Leafs are created the cap space for Tavares.
I'd be very surprised if, at the end, Tavares won't play for Toronto.

Yep you don’t let JVR and Bozak walk if your not getting a Tavares

I'm inclined to agree, but they also have a new GM which is the wildcard here.

Yes, I've thought the same things.
I hope that they'll announce him soon, so this story can finish.
And maybe, tomorrow, I hope to see the breaking news about Karlsson to Vegas...So both of these stories could end.

They were planning to let those guys walk for months. I do think they get JT, but this was gonna happen either way.

 

[Rschmitz]

Callahan and Coburn both have 16 team trade lists. Killorn I highly doubt would be moved. Full NTC

A name I haven't seen mentioned who might get dealt is Gourde. I love me some Gourde and he's my favorite forward, but he'll want to get paid next summer.
