Confirmed with Link: Tavares to Toronto (7 years, $11M AAV)

[Pocket Hercules]

I am not ashamed to admit i shed tears when they announced it. For all the crap we take as leaf fans, all the insults, the doubters saying we would never get someone like jt unless we drafted him. This day has come and it feels better then any of us could ever imagine. We can finally call ourselves cup contenders, we have the management, and the players to make this happen. Get up and get louder, cheer this team on harder and as kadri said "lets go to work"

We Leaf fans have definitely entered a preferred Parallel Universe in which we have the best offensive depth in the entire f***ing league—bar none!

I don't care Matthew's Nylander
I don't care Tavares Marner
Johnsson Kadri Kapanen
I don't care because they won't play Brown

you know exactly if nylander f***s up, he gets moved down and brown up.

 

[LeafsFan89]

is the presser live on the NHL leaf's website?

 

[Tavares to Marner]

Tavares should be captain and when is the presser

 

[Sonny21]

I can't believe Leafs actually did it. Great f***ing job Dubas/Shanny/Babcock.

 

[KobeBean143]

Think about this, we have added marner nylander Matthews and now Tavares in the the last 4 years without overpaying in a trade that handcuffed our future lol
Where we were to where we are now is absolutely incredible.
What a great day for leaf fans

Regardless, it's a win-win situation; just a matter of preference

That’s different, Hoffman was a hand grenade in their lap. They had to get rid of him.

They are at risk of destroying the franchise for a decade. If they want to limit themselves instead of taking fair payment. That's pretty stupid on them. Remember we will have millions left and could still move Marleau and Martin.

Matthews is a class act! Can not wait to see the Matthews - Tavares duo!

Stupid or not that team is hitting the reset button soon if they haven’t already.

JTDC.
Imagine the power play.
And remember all those antsy feelings....leafs up by one? Like something bad was BOUND to happen.
Now imagine being the opposition goalie when the leafs are down one with 1-2 minutes left.,

biggest thing we've won since the draft lottery

The draft lottery, the Marlies winning the Calder Cup, now the Tavares sweepstakes.....

I'm beginning to believe the Keon curse was real all along

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[Mikeyg]

Dubby’s not f***in around boys. f*** that wait and see lou bullshit

 

[MoreMogilny]

This is one of my happiest moments as a Leaf fan. Right up there with eliminating Ottawa from the playoffs 74 times and winning the draft lottery

 

[thewave]

Dubby’s not ****in around boys. **** that wait and see lou bull****

[Walshy7]

Matthews is a class act! Can not wait to see the Matthews - Tavares duo!

Oh you are shutting down Matthews tonight? Good job!!

[Mikeyg]

Imagine an opposing coach trying to play matchup against us. Good luck lol!!!

I cant wait until polak gets on the ice at all vs us, he literally couldn’t compete with any of our lines

 

[ThewThew]

I LITERALLY WOKE UP TO THIS NEWS! Friend calls and says we just got Tavares.


WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

WOOOOOOO

 

[Beyonder91]

Can't believe Tavares ditched the great Barzal to come and play with Marner! A barzalian move for sure!

 

[Mikeyg]

You hear anything about EK?
