That OT winner sure saved his bacon, cause outside of that he's been absolute garbage this postseason.

Disagree. Even though he scored a Nikolai Borschevsky type series winning OT goal less than 10 days ago, he's back to the dog house.

Flukey goal or not he still put it in and helped the Leafs win the series against Tampa. I wouldn't care if he had another flukey goal this game and won the OT against the Panthers tonight.

Tavares hasn't been amazing, but he's done alright so far in the playoffs. Wish he could do more, but its Matthews, Marner and Nylander that we're look at to carry the load and all three have been underperforming so far.

Obviously , a Tavares parody account.

Can we stop with the "Tavares took a discount" bullshit. The story is complete bullshit, probably put out there by Tavares agent and/or Dubas.

If he was offered $13 (no proof that he was) and took $11 here, that's a discount, but it's irrelevant. He should not have been offered any more than maybe $9, probably on a shorter term, and definitely no NMC or NTC.

I'm not worried about Tavares - he's making a fortune playing for the team he wants to play for. I'm worried about the team wasting the best years of Matthews and Nylander and Marner because of Dubas' mistake.

Good hands???? he had 20 dangerous chances in the Florida series. Probably 1 of those self generated.

I can understand the bad skating, but his hands are now matching his feet

He struggles to handle clean passes and make clean passes

Anyone defending Tavares at this point needs to stop it with his regular season numbers. Sure he got 80 points this year, but 80 points nowadays isn't the same as getting 80 points in other areas. He was 29th in league scoring, and 91st (!) in ES scoring. And all while being a snail slow liability on the ice most of the time.

You have to figure out a way to move on from this guy. I still can't get over how Keefe used him in the top-6 'til the bitter end, he pulled a full on Babcock-Marleau with that.

Signing him completely and utterly f*cked us. I will not admit to have known better at the time though. Another cruel joke on leaf fans, as the joy of the July 1 quickly became a nightmare.

It really did. It set in motion a chain of events that completely screwed the team.
I didn't see it coming at all. I really thought JT was a better player than he is. He might be the most overrated player in NHL history. His name carries HOF type weight and I don't understand why.

If they don't sign him, both AM and MM are signed for less, and we have so much more cap room to round out the roster. JT didn't help develop the young guys any more than they would have developed on their own.

He was a UFA and held all the cards, he wrote down a number and Dubas said yes...I'd do the exact same thing if it was me.

Dubas should have hung up the phone. Signing JT to that crazy contract killed the rebuild and here we are today facing the very possibility of at least a retool

I'm know I'm not going to be of the popular decision here, but I'm starting to think that the Tavares signing wasn't what was best for the team. He's a good player for sure but it just might not of been what we need. I'm of the opinion that I'd rather have Nylander and a decent defenseman signed instead of him. Granted it's early and he's been very unlucky but I'm not loving the way he skates and carries himself. He seems to think he's better than everyone else. Maybe I'm wrong but I just feel this way and I'm thinking Marner is twice the player he is but he acts like he's God's gift. Again, I hope I'm wrong.
