It's funny how last week all medias kept saying they would love to have JT on their team and hope that their team can somehow make a sales pitch to JT....now that he is a Leafs, he can score but can't play defense...an okay faceoff man....average skater.....
Confirmed with Link: Tavares to Toronto (7 years, $11M AAV)

Mitch isn't getting $10m. He want's to win as a leaf, not cripple the team.
I sure hope so, I really dont want to see Mitch go somewhere and dominate because thats what he will do!

The cap will go up after the next CBA in 2020. Having the Leafs good again will generate tons of revenues for the NHL.

I guess Leafs would match and send big thank you flowers basket to Islanders if that is to happen. Other teams fans would scream "foul" though at Lou helping Leafs.

I feel that now with many offense-no-defense or washed up forwards departing Leafs, Lievo actually has better chance to crack Leafs line up as pure offense first winger. You cannot have too many of those on the roster, but you can have some if they are surrounded with great C depth and other responsible wingers.
I’m sorry but I’m don’t understand why people are worried about the cap lol.
We have Pridham and Gilman. I’m fairly certain they have done their math properly and know the plan going ahead.
Just sit back, relax and enjoy the show. The Leafs are going deep this year.

Yeah, he's just okay...#5 in goal scoring, #9 in points since he joined the NHL...almost a decade in the league and still at the prime of his career, playing always against the best the opposition could throw at him...yeah, I'll take some "he's just okay..."
Yeah. It’s pretty funny.
He’s alright. Not a big deal. Players like Tavares are so easy to get for free. He’s basically just Bozak and Stastny combined. Should have just signed those two.

I love how everyone is so concerned about our cap as well. Yet SJ and Pittsburgh (before that Chicago) are geniuses for their ability to manage it and even make room for the star players that keep them league elite.
Brilliant moves trading Orpik and Grubs to sign Carlson.
Yet we’re sunk. Oh well.

This is a very insightful column about JT's uncle, also by the same name of John Tavares, and a young JT growing up by Bob McKenzie. It's a great read that gives tremendous insight into JT's background and upbringing, and about his father's sacrifice.

And to those who wants to trade Nylander for D help...I have a question - who's going to play with Matthews? (Please don't say Marleau who will probably retire in a couple of years).

I've been saying the same thing. Dubas, Pridham and company have this all planned out and every angle thought of and covered. They laid it out to JT in the interview with him.
Not to mention I don't think there is another person who knows the CBA better then BP. He wrote it after all.
Reminds me of my high school law teacher. He knew everything because he actually wrote the textbook.
We just have to be patient and enjoy the ride to the cup.

who do you guys want to see play on Tavares' wings? I'd go with Johnsson and Nylander myself. Nylander is a zone-entry wizard which I think is one of the less impressive parts of Tavares' game, so they'd mesh well with that. he's also great at making plays while Tavares can go to the net. Johnsson is a speed demon who can do pretty much anything Tavares needs, and is arguably our most talented LWer
