Player Discussion How overpaid is Tavares

[hotpaws]

As I said, it's all fake stats.

The guy plays with Nylander, gets primo PP1 time. Boosts his stats.

Doesn't drive play at all, the play dies on his stick every time. Isn't physical, can't pass, can't defend. can't skate. What does he do exactly?

Ok, how good was Tavares the last 3 series? 20 games played. 9 points???

You add a 4th series and it's 25 games played 11 points. He's awful.

''What does he do exactly" , that's the million dollar question isn't it and the answer is , outside of faceoffs not much of anything that couldn't be replaced for peanuts by Corey Perry

At that price, send him back to Long Island.

He should be around 4.5M so about 60% overpaid

Turns out they're only offering him $4M so you were actually being generous.

Good call still though.

If he wants the Brock Nelson deal he's gotta go. I like JT and I respect him. Heck I even want him back. But not if he's still at "core 4" dollars. It's either take a Tanev deal to be here until you retire, or go, no more core like money is able to be offered

Under 4M for a 3C who's slow but a grinder, with good hands in the dot and in the slot?

I've heard worse.

Let Dubas give him Brock Nelson money. He's responsible for overpaying the core 4 in the first place.

Ok so last 3 series the guy had 20 games and he put up 9 points. It actually takes some skills to not rack up points by accident playing with Nylander.

How many of those 9 points were on the PP? His 5 on 5 play died after year 1.

He's been a PP and regular season merchant. Worse than Domi the last 2 playoffs.

Think about that. Boston series, Matthews was crippled, Nylander was hurt, Marner injured. Our el Captain does NOTHING. Don't expect anything from him either. But can you do more than Domi?????

He's not at 3C level in the postseason if he's off the PP1. I guarantee it.

Tavares is a slow 3c or 4c, 4 milly is fair. He bent us over with 11 milly for the last 7 yrs.

He's overpaid. He'll be overpaid on a new team.
