I'll be happy if he's on the wing to start the POs.
He just can't run a top end line anymore.

Anyone else concerned about Tavares?

He’s a good player on a good team.
He signed for fair market value at the time and like a sundin seems to be able to keep the exact same production about ppg as he ages.
The cap without a pandemic should have been about 95 million by now. It made sense then
He is probably 2.5 overpaid for now….. but willie is about 2.5 underpaid.
Not the end of the world.

Where does he play? If O‘Reilly comes back is he 3C or 2W?
My assumption is the Leafs will try to match one of ROR or Matthews against the Point line and Tampa will try to match Cirelli against Matthews. Can the Leafs afford to have Tavares and Nylander on the ice with Point Kucherov? Do the Leafs go with ROR, Marner and Tavares
If they can somehow get Tavares and Willy against Paul and Maroon that’s a big advantage for the Leafs.

Moot, there is no cap in the playoffs. It's all about performance.
He's 42nd for C.
Better than Lindholm, Bergeron, Horvat, Kuznetsov, Kadri... Tied with Miller and Hertl... He is probably close to a 1C because they put a lot of wingers at C too.
Notably, I saw Jarnkrok from our team at C.
The only reason anyone cares about his performance is cap
If he made 1 million would this thread exist?

What if he could draw the Paul line? On paper that’s a favourable matchup for the Leafs.

Should be rested before playoffs. Still do not understand why they do not use him to take draws in our end on the PK.

I agree he should be rested, but putting him on the PK is dangerous.
I think it has more to do with his defense.

He wins the draw, we shoot the puck out, he gets off the ice and 30 seconds have elapsed. He should be good enough to PK if he loses the draw IMO.

He is way too slow to play the PK, IMO.
I would think ROR will take all those draws.

JT is the guy you have on your team.
I don't get how he gets faster with the game speeding up in playoffs but I like your optimism.
I thought we were talking about 5v5.
Among all forwards this year, Tavares is 51st in 5v5 points, and a few points off the top-30, while getting less ice time than most above and around him.
Among centers this year, Tavares is 24th in 5v5 points, and a few points off the top-15.
And I'm not sure why you'd ignore his PP impacts anyway.
Overall, still a really good player and a big part of this team.
Surely we can wait until offseason before unnecessarily dumping on our players.

He has one more goal at 5v5 than Engvall this year, with about 16% more 5v5 ice time.
He will be .. don't sweat it .. even he knows it .. ROR and JT will make a very good 2nd line .. only question left is does Willy make a 3rd line with Lafferty and Jankrok or does he play with ROR .. my guess they go back and forth and see what works best

Quite possibly not, as he would probably be playing 3C (and PP), where he belongs.
