Who said we are obligated to resign him? My position is if it makes sense, you resign him. I think he will be fine as our #3C. You clearly disagree. The Leafs probably side with me on Tavares.

Unless you replace Tavares with an alpha like Mac or McDavid, it will be the same old rerun starring the 3 little pigs.
obviously you seem to be believe we're obligated to re-sign him considering your overlooking he's been much worse than the ''3 little pigs'' who you keep slagging on while giving JT free pass

he's been pretty much a ghost in the playoffs for 5 yrs so i'm baffled why you would want him even in a reduced role , what is the obsession with bringing this guy back

the Islanders fans lost it when he played them and walked , they bought the bs about JT carrying a bunch of AHLers until they watched that useless team go to 2 conference finals without mumbles

Sorry - not a forum vet so just links. Heres 5 including breakaways diety danglez and play creation/setups for your loverboy Mitch. Ohhhh - and this is just from the last month my guy:

you spent all this time from your last post and couldn't find any clips of Johnny magically weaving through traffic dangling like McDavid as you claimed and instead posted a couple of stationary passes , a clip where he blew the zone way early to get fed by an outstanding pass from our D and another where he cut into the middle by a poorly position D

what you should be doing is finding clips of JT flying up the ice dangling through traffic creating offensive chances like you claimed he's constantly doing , there should be the rare time where the worlds align allowing JT to go through without turning over the puck

also , just to educate you , watch the clip of how Marner danced his way into the zone while backing up the wings then creating space , that's how you drive the play and where was Johnny ? well Johnny is where Johnny usually is and that's the slot/crease waiting to be fed as i said multiple times

so basically without Mitch dancing around and doing what he does Johnny would be standing in the slot holding his dick while the play turned back towards our end

Given how he's played this season, that would be a steal. I was against bringing him back before the season but he looks as good as when he first joined us, would love to have him back at that kind of cap hit.

We are not finding a better 2C on the market.

I wonder if Tavares will give a discount...you have to think he keeps this play up he gets at least 7 million per at UFA

Took 5 mins to find you 5 clips you said didn't happen..

But I get it now. You're full on Mitch fan boy, which somehow makes you a JT hater? Good times, I guess.

Yknow - They can both be elite, eh..? It doesn't mean Mitch is lesser. They're both great. I think maybe you've been beaten up around here too much, spinning warped narratives on these boards to be able to even see daylight now - but I'm new here, so that's just a theory.

Oh - John scored ANOTHER beauty today btw.. I know you don't watch the games, so thought I'd update your hateathon, hatetakes.

I'd probably offer these contracts to JT and hope he's willing to help the team, so it'll depend if he's willing to defer.

1 year - 5.5M no deferral
2 years 4.5M (5M salary but deferring to artificially lower)
3 years 4M (5.25M salary but deferring to artificially lower)

and as i've said already none of your 5 clips showed him dangling through the opposition like you claimed and only a relative or troll would think JT getting fed for an empty netter is a ''another beauty'' goal , lol , i guess however it's on par with having the puck bounce off his shin pads for his other beauty goals , lol

typical Johnny game today , he did nothing and looked like he was skating in sand but got a pt

anyway your just basically trolling so have a good one

Somethings definitely working!!! Could be that dude has had the Summer to end all Summers, the amulet, the lost captaincy fiasco, the contract year, haters talkin' shyt.... maybe all of the above......
But something's definitely working.

Now riding the Eight-game point streak with 13 points (7G, 6A).

Doesn't get much better than that, folks!

ACC above me just called him Remarkable too, but ok. Only 37th in ppg?? Cool.. spread those 30 over 30 teams and he's the best or 2nd best ppg player on every team in the league. That's not remarkable tho.. sure chief!

But no - I watch the games bro. I don't hate monitor from the sidelines. Every game this year he's been more of a play creator than I can remember. You're right, traditionally - he was net front, waiting for opps, pouncing when available. This year? For those that watch without blinders - heres what we're seeing: He's been setting up people with highlight reel passes, creating his own opps through ridiculous dekes and weaves thru traffic, undressing dmen with danglez and even getting a few breakaway goals with some pretty slick hands. I have to admit like most, Im shocked. I seriously don't know how, but homie has had a summer to end all summers and looks like a different dude out there.
He has made some unbelievable passes this year.

I can think of a couples to Pacs and Nylander off the top of my head.

It's insane this year. I don't even remember this as being part of his game, tho?? And that blind backhand pass for the Mitch onetimer last game mighta been the illest Leaf pass of the year.
