Tavares will come back to the Leafs and be fine as a 2nd line centre. Especially at a considerably cheaper pricetag.
tavares will be 3c behind poone jenner????
But yeah, JT wasn’t why the Leafs lost……he’s also part of why they didn’t win, but you can’t hang the loss on him alone.
He wasn’t the only reason they lost to Florida but coupled with Rielly he was the single biggest contributor to suckage.
He was on the ice for the most even strength goals against among Leafs forwards. He did not score a point in 6 out of 7 games.
He did not deliver in his prime. He’s not worth even 5 million on the down side of his career.
If he wants to play in Toronto no matter what, he needs to play for 3 million or less. He’s not worth a penny more.
I’d bring him back on a 2 year deal at a cap hit of 5M.
Not to many C out there.
A lot players disappeared after game 4 vs. Florida. – DmntdAgree. The free agent market is thin and it would cost more assets to bring in a center via trade. If JT will sign cheap, then sign him, and have him be a C/W like Stamkos. Ideally, he is your slightly overpaid 3C and special teams guy and not an overwhelmed slow 2C who gets caved every game.

More fake change eh?
For the right price, JT can still be a 50pt 2nd line center or shift over to wing or the 3rd line center role.
Oh, 50 points? Wow. For sure we’ll win the Cup now…
3rd line? Yes, of course, genius plan to make the guy who can’t play defense play a shut down role.
The ol’ Tavares doesnt help this win nonsense……it was his goal that got the leafs to the 2nd for the first time in decades.
But ok.The ol’ Johnny Toronto Pajamas propaganda believers are a lost cause. He scored how many goals and points to win games vs Florida? Oh, right, none. He scored one OT series winner in 7 prime years so therefore sign him again in his wheelchair years. It’s like Shanahan never left.
Fake change.

Tavares absolutely sucks and has flown under the radar for blame because of these persistent roomers he will take a “discount”.
That’s the new level of stupidity the Leafs bloodlust mob has reached. If a bad player who doesn’t help you win convinces you he took a “discount” he becomes a hero. Still a loser, but a hero.
Don’t score in 6 out of 7 games in Round 2? No problem because discount.
On the ice for the most even strength goals against on the team? No problem because discount.
On the wrong side of soon to be 35 and slow? No problem because discount and Leafs pajamas.
Tavares has not and will not be fine as a 2nd line center. At his absolute best, he didn’t help this team win. Now, as he approaches his worst years, he will be totally useless. The money that the Leafs “save” by bringing in Tavares will have to be spent just to counter balance the amount of goals scored against while he’s on the ice. And he doesn’t seem capable of being a positive possession player against a team like Florida in the playoffs anymore either. This means whatever cap space he does take up, as “discounted” as it is, he won’t earn that either.
To actually become a positive on the team, he’d literally have to enter Corey Perry territory of less than 2 million a year and just be off to the side until he’s needed on the PP or select offensive zone situations.
For all the screaming Leafs fans are doing about “change”, they certainly want very little of it to actually happen or be effective. Seems really familiar…
