Should Canucks management make signing Brock Boeser to a contract extension a priority? Should the Maple Leafs have a discussion with John Tavares about a new deal? Who should want an extension more: Linus Ullmark or the Senators? TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado joins SC with Jay Onrait to share his thoughts.

even as a Islanders fan who was sour when he left, it is sad that he went from definitely getting his number retired to the current situation
Tavares is old and slow.And he's not getting any younger.I remember when Mcdavid blew by him like he was standing still.
No way!
He should go to Arizona, oh but wait…
Tavares was the worst signing and is the main reason they haven't been able to build a balanced team. He was signed for 2x his value and he had a couple good seasons, but never a value season. HE should have been bought out this year to send a message. Strip him of the C, send him packing.
Actually no he shouldn't. If he has good year, like mist players in a contract year, he will do better in the open market.🏒🍸
Please Leafs sign him for next 8 years with 10m cap
July 1st 2018 is the day the Leafs screwed their future.
Choosing a vanity signing clearly with a view of selling jerseys instead of addressing the real area of weakness, defense.
Seriously, look at the Leafs roster in 17/18. 2nd highest scoring team in the league with those kids. Did not need to add JT.
Leafs suck
Give him a 5×5
Today years old when I heard that the Leafs in their history have never won three rounds in the playoffs. LOL the Leafs, the most over hyped team in hockey history.
NO , unless he wants to stay for 2m per yr
Ya 1 mill not a penny more lol.
Tavares is not getting 6 mil , stfu , its 3 mil tops or hes gone
JT is a nice guy – but he hasn’t contributed to good playoff cultures with NYI and the Leafs. So why even consider extending him unless Leafs only care about regular season successes? 😀
The Leafs will sign Tavares for 4 million for 8 years. The "wink – wink" is a trip to Robidas Island once he dips below 25 goals a year.
You got to wait the season out and see how much Tavares declines…can't sign him now.
$4M AAV x 4 years with a boat load of bonuses that dont affect the salary cap. For Tavares.
NO! 1.5 m for JT on the 3rd line wing, is my only maybe.
you can extend Tavares. for like $5 bucks. buddy was overpaid his whole contract. he can take a big discount for a 3-4yr deal. how about 2mil.
3 years 5 million is the most I’d personally go on Tavares
Leafs management is loser. Making bad decisions all the time
tavares is a bum, get him out of there lol
Yes. Toronto needs it's elite players.
Why do I have a feeling that no one cares about this outside of Toronto….
But he still can produce to some extent and he's old.. he seem perfect for a team like Pittsburgh tbh
John will be 34 give him 3yrs will be 37 3 X5 million in toronto open market 6 o7 million
Tavares has demonstrated he deserves an F to replace the C
Sure, home discount to league min or so, fine. Fire shanny and Brad tho immediatly, don’t let them trade, add, or do any more damage
they need to pay him 3C money, only way for it to work.
Lmfao who actually takes jay serious after him saying he didn't think montreal could win 1 game in the 2021 playoffs
Tavaras at 5M per for three years or less would work for TO, otherwise he is gone elsewhere.
Yes re-sign him and Marner and bring back the core 4 for another 8 years
If Tavares gets one of those maintenance issues that puts him on LTIR till playoffs like Stone and VGK do every year that will help TML load up at trade deadline for playoffs!
After that tops Tavares gets 5m X1 or hit the road fella!
Nope 900k 4th line center or leave. Spezza deal or fuck off
well… I'd take Tavares as a 3rd line centre at 3.5million for 3 seasons… He's scrappy.
This is of course unless you can trade him for a 2nd-line winger OR a shut-down defenseman.
I think Ullmark wants to play his way to UFA, but he’s also got to be a little nervous that if his game steps back this year due to being on a weaker team, and being counted on to play the majority of the games he could lose money. But then does he want to sign long term and get the cash, but be stuck in Ottawa if he doesn’t really want to be there?
Have they had success with him in the playoffs? Then no, see ya!
100% you re-sign Tavares at $5-6m
Depends on the price but he is still a top end 2c. Anyone saying to get rid of him just to get rid of him don’t know puck
Nope
3 years at $3.5 million a year or let him walk.
Investing better wingers and center men is more important than paying Taveras $6 + million a year.
No
At the right cap hit he should retire as a leaf.
If he wants to win a cup and give the team a chance sign dirt cheap for 1 season. Show MM and AM and WN what sacrifice you have to pay to win.
