All up to Tavares. Yes to me there will be a market. But the return wouldn’t be great and the leafs will be taking cap back.

 

[edguy]

He fully controls his own destiny with his NMC. He isn't going anywhere.

If he was willing to waive, Leafs would be paying to get rid of him

 

[The90]

No. 76 point players grow on trees.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Why would they trade him? They need him, the fans said it themselves.

I think they should give JT an $11M AAV extension for a few more years. Three more years simply isn't enough.

 

[Guffman]

Three more years at $11M AAV… no market for that bloated contract.

You would have to eat at least $4M AAV to get it moving. Then, when you factor what you’re going to pay a replacement 2C, you’re not really saving anything.

I think you’re just stuck with this anchor.

Toronto needs to give up this silliness. He’s a TML for the balance of that contract. Accept this. It’s just reality. Live in reality. This isn’t a fantasy website.

 

[Gecklund]

I’ll give ya Burns for him. Gives you a bit of cap relief too.

To Vancouver: Tavares (15% retained), Robertson, 2023 3rd

To Toronto: OEL, Palmu, 2025 5th

Next year roll this assuming Miller is traded:

Podkolzin Pettersson Brock Boeser
Tavares Horvat Garland
Pearson Lammikko Hoglander
HighMore Dickinson Lockwood

JT for JT Miller

Canucks get swiss army knife center who can shut down players. Leafs get another game breaking offensive player.

Tavares defensive abilities are not great.
They’ve tried the shutdown role with him and he sucks at it.

He as a player isn't an anchor but his contract (in context with the Leafs paying AM, Marner and Nylander as well) is what the "problem" is but Covid also has had a really negative affect on the Leafs and their ability to navigate the salary cap.

I also happen to be believe that a hard cap is extremely stupid and the NHL would be better served with a luxury tax to work with.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

The Sabres offer Bjork for Tavares. If it’s a no, then that’s fine

that ppg. Anchor! Lmfao!

JT for JT Miller

Canucks get swiss army knife center who can shut down players. Leafs get another game breaking offensive player.

Why would the Canucks do this? They can re-sign the younger, better player for less than trade him for a declining JT.

Sure. William Nylander + Sandin + 1st for JT Compher. There. Another fantasy trade.

Sure it makes no sense but debate it please?

This sport doesn’t bring in anywhere near enough money to make a luxury tax make sense.

 

[Mohar Ikram]

No market for sane GM.

- PPG but definitely overpaid (you're paying that kind of money for at least 1.2 PPG).
- The terms are too long (3 years more after this season).
- On and off during playoffs. When he is off, he costs the game. When he is on, not fully on and choked for the win
- Injury history and he is 31.

Basically, he is possibly declining with that bs cap space. Maple Leafs hopes he plays well and not straight down became atrocious like Loui Eriksson or Milan Lucic.

Okay.

If I had to reply, which I don't need to (main point if I dont see anything here, I just dont reply.. you know instead of complaining)...

I'd say thanks for the offer but I don't think it's fair value.

 

[violaswallet]

After next season real cash falls a lot so rebuilding teams with cap could be interested. 9M+ Is too much in this environment

 

[wetcoast]

The Leafs sure do.

 

[Gecklund]

The Leafs sure do.

So give the Leafs, Canadiens, Rangers, and Wild a huge advantage while making a team like Hurricanes, Panthers, Coyotes, Predators, Islanders suffer? Seems dumb. It only works in the NBA because even like the Jazz and Hornets bring in a ton of money.

Probably a better chance after his July signing bonus of 7 million is paid.
