JT is a guarantied HoFer
How can you possibly think 1 person on any team can take them to the stanely cup and put such a weight on one man's shoulders. Team sucess requires a team ! Gretzky was the greatest NHL player ever, yet he only won 4 cups.
John Tavarez got paid what he was worth at the time and a point a game is pretty consistent. Look at the last 55 years in Toronto and all the hall of famers that went through without winning a cup – how many differnt coaches, GM`s have been here and still no cup.
By the time he's done yes
Until the TML's win a Stanley Cup that will cement every player on the team, as far as Legacy is concerned.
Trade him for some defence!
Good debate guys!
No individual awards. Islanders got better when he left. Never considered the best player in the league. It’s not the Hall of Very Good. He needs a Cup
He's definitely going to be a hofer I usually agree with you Kipper but you're crazy here!
No. HOF is not in Tavaras's future.
Tavares will finish with1250 -1300 points if so ….Hall of fame.
Would Toronto trading Nylander to Anaheim for Gibson, Guidas, and a first rounder ..
good trade?
If he retired today he wouldn't be inducted, but Tavares still has another 5 years in him. By the time he's done he'll probably have around 1300 points. More than enough for the HOF
The issue is not with him, but with RFAs getting the same or better contract as a UFA.
Little early to be talking tavares HOF
His best years were on the island
funny how the experts on this panel one was a goon and the other is a career minor leaguer and the other well…
Can there be any question He's still putting up good points wouldnt be shocked to see him break 1200.
I like Tavares a lot but he needs to win a cup.
Kyp isn’t a Tavares fan
John Tavars's legacy will be, "the $10 million dollar geriatric that cost this young and talented group of Leaf's an opportunity to ever win a Stanley Cup." End of story.
Its not the nhl hall of fame its the hockey hall of fame. Plenty in it who never played a game in the nhl. Tavares has won at the international level
What legacy? Getting stomped in the first round basically every year? Zero hardware, as a team or individually. Definitely hall of fame of worthy. 😆
Kyper is the best 👍🏽
Getting harder and harder to listen to Kyper and the negativity.
I just don’t see him getting in unless there the flip side to this conversation isn’t about JT but about those before him and waiting to get in and those up and coming that are better than him and get in before him. Does that kick the proverbial can far enough down the road far enough that he drops of voters radars?
you guys really like to pump up Tavares tires on this show .Legend ??? not until he has playoff seccess .It is that $11M contract that is preventing this team from contending for a Stanley Cup .Point a game player ? only because he is playing with 3 superstars and gets a ton of PP time .All he has to do is go to the net and either Austin ,Mitch or WIllie will get him the puck lol.If you put Kyper in his prime with these 3 guys even he would prob be a point a game guy ( sorry Kyper no offence lol ) My opinion -I cant wait until his $11M is off the books
