I was blatantly against signing Tavares at the time. I think it was me and @thewave we wanted to invest money in #1D man and we were called out as noobs because dubas the shiny new toy could do no wrong LOL
While things didn't work out the way we all hoped it would, it would've been hard to not sign Tavares when he was available and wanted to sign with us. I mean he was a star player in his prime and having Matthews and Tavares down the middle looked pretty damn good on paper.

Also even if the Leafs had money to go out and get a #1 Dman, who was available that actually WANTED to sign with the Leafs? Pietrangelo was probably the most recent one and I don't think he ever had any real desire to sign with us. So who else was available that would want to come and play here even if we had the money to pay them whatever they wanted?
