They should trade max pacioretty for JVR we need more grit in the lineup
Love you guys content see you guys on Thursday night
Okay wait a second…they know he wants to stay why would they sign him the day after he plays his best game in 3 seasons…wait until February…he isnt going anywhere.
I think they should resign John Tavares to a 7 year contract at 14 million per year… that will get him back for sure we need him to win that cup baby wooooo
Tavares shouldn’t get more than 3 years x 4.5m
Give him 4 years at 4.75
I think you play out the season with both guys. No more extensions till we see playoff results. Why continue to lock into this core. There's finally a way out here.
Put it towards Marchand, Bennett or Rantanen if they hit the market.
Why are they overpaying a guy who only wants to play in Toronto? They’re the only market. Anything above $3m is an overpay
JT is a slug
I dont know guys he is a 30 goal scorer. My guess is $5.5–$6 Million.
Im going to be disappointed if its any more than 4 mil AAV.
Tavares will get a lower payday at least half of what he is currently making if not more than half look at him in playoffs the last two years not the greatest even getting a round winning goal he was not the greatest that round either marner will not get his raise either he will be getting cut to
And you can't say all because of last night winning we still lost three straight last week
Tavares will not be getting what he is getting now
4-5 × 4 or 5 years is well worth it. If you say that's an over pay you don't know hockey. Even 2 yrs a 6 mil aav is worth it. But long term is gonna need to be around 4 to 5. If he hit the open market he's getting 7×3 all day.
At some point you've got to get younger. There are going to be younger UFAs who have won, available this off season. Lets play this season out, put the cheque book away.
His hat trick last night answered that
Love you guys jonh Worth 4mill and he's going to take 2 mill
2 years at 4.5M
or
3 years at 3.5M
or
4 years at 2.5M
He will slow down by years end and will need load management this year and every year moving forward. He's not an 82 game player anymore.
Would be great to lock him and Knies up before the 2026 salary cap is announced! … Let Marner walk and save the money for McJesus!
4×4 Max!!
I think issues of the so-called "core four" should be about individuals, not all four. In particular Tavares, who is at a later stage in his career, deserves individual consideration. So — for just a moment — let's put aside the others. No one is perfect, but I've noticed Tavares has shown leadership. Over his career has taken a lot of punishment as an "in front of the net" forward. When people say over and over that he's "slow," well, maybe that's what happens to players who show up as gritty in big games. Remember that horrific injury he suffered in the playoff round against Montreal several years ago? He does keep scoring year after year, and if his points are not as glamourous as those of the rest of the "core," they still count! Since he's shown willingness to change his role and accept a lower salary, I'd say go ahead with the contract now.
As always, great video boyz. 👍👍
JT going to re-sign for $9-12M for 3-4 years, so I'm thinking a $3M AAV. He is definitely not hurting for money so it is possible, imo, in order to keep his family and himself in his hometown.
Let's see how close I am to those numbers.
I can see Tavares hitting 60 points this year 🤷♂️ even if he misses a few games or is a nothing on the stat sheet he'll be able to do it.
I mean he was on pace for about 60 points before lastnights hat-trick and the top scorers for the team was #1 marner, #2 nylander, #3 matthews, tavares and knies at #4.
Now its marner, nylander, tavares and matthews. I mean he wont keep this pace up all year, but a couple games like last night and he'll hit 60 no problem.
And I'd throw him a 3 × 4.5 for an extension max 🤷♂️ Ottawa signed Giroux to a 3 × 6.5 million dollar contract when he was 35. But we aren't Ottawa 😂 we aren't desperate and it's his home town so knock off 2 mill and we got a deal.
3 years at 4.5 mill.
There not give marner 13 million
Send him packing !! Bring in young blood !!
I feel like 4×4 would be awesome. I think getting rid of mitch is dumb af he is really good.
I dont want to hear anything above 4million, even then im hoping he takes less.
He already got his dream contract of 11m. He isn't worth more than 3m per. Don't care how many goals he has this year. He is a liability and so is reilly.
Heres to hoping he takes a massive haircut to placate the fans and also "1up" Crosby.
Hope the sign jt n knies to team friendly deals and let marner walk and pjck up mcdavid when his deals done in edmonton
There not signing Tavares until end of season before this game Tavares was crap only way leafs sign him is if 3 million or less one good game all year and now this talk no way just leave it until end of year to make decisions
No!!!!!!!
Unless it’s for sub$5M ie a tradable number thank him for his service and let him walk. Can’t turn this into a retirement village for feelings.
