Player Discussion How overpaid is Tavares

[thewave]

Taraves @ $11 mil is likely the WORST overpaid contract in the NHL at his current production level >>> Patrick Marleau was in the last year of his $5.6 mil deal.

Tavares is likely to come in at 60-65 points if lucky this year . IMO

It's very bad this year. Most things Dubas had a hand in ended up an unmitigated disaster though.

Only 73 more regular season games of this contract.

Marleau was a 20 pt foward making 6.25m in the final year of his deal

That was with the sharks & pens yes (22 pts in 66 games)

For us he had 37 in 82 at 6.25M in 2018. Overpaid but comparable to Tavares putting 60 pts at 11M

...so the second year of a third year deal for Marleau

For the best of the team, he should go. No league min offer.

Yes, but Marleau would have put more pts on a better leafs team (offensively) then a bad Sharks team in 2020

He was cooked in year 3 but so is Tavares right now and he is at 11M.

Tavares is not getting PP1 spot on merit or ability anymore. He is getting that spot due to past play and reputation

Though if you want to disagree on tabares being the worst last year UFA ti marleau then he can be 2nd worst

Why sign cooked tavares
Smart teams move on

Armstrong but he was not the Capt when he retired, Capt in 67 but retired in 71?

Correct, and he had a speaking role in the 1971 movie Faceoff featuring the 70-71 Leafs.

 

[notDatsyuk]

I think the best thing to do is let him retire as a Leaf at the end of the season and sign him as a faceoff coach.

 

[TMLAM34]

I was on board to re-signing him at a much lower cap hit after this season, but I think the best solution for the Leafs would be to completely move on from JT. Way too slow for today’s NHL and he’s become a turnover machine.
