Why do the Leafs need Tavares when they signed Stamkos as an UFA?
The only reason NYI would entertain the idea of a trade is if he's told them he intends to test the UFA market. Tavares is not just a top center in the NHL, he's a top player. The asking price would be way too high for most teams. Especially T.O.
If Tavares would really want to test out UFA I suspect it's because he has a specific team he's interested in playing for. Money wouldn't be the reason as he's going to get what ever he wants from whoever he wants to play for. No team is going to give up a kings ransom, and that's what it would take, to acquire him for a few months unless he signs an extension. And if he's willing to sign an extension I suspect it's because he wants to play for the franchise and in that case why trade the assets when you can sign him for free during the UFA period.
I was with you until this point. Top 3 in the league? I'm not sure about that personally.
Matthews + one of Nylander/Marner.
Tavares is a Top 5 Center in the league and still young. He's one of the most valuable assets league wide.

leafs probably laugh at the thought of moving an 18 year old and 19 year old for Tavares who is about to make 10-12mil per.
JT to TO needs to stop. leafs are more than happy with Matthews,Nylander, and Kadri up the middle. We arent dumping our top prospects for anyone not named mcdavid

'dumping' our prospects who we hope can become what Tavares is now at 25
youre hilarious
When do we see packages like that traded?
Tavares will be an Islander for life. He's the one superstar in the league that i would put money on staying on one team for the duration of his career.
Why....why are we doing this?
The guy is a UFA in 2 years. If he wants to be a Leaf long term, he can. Tavares isn't worth Matthews in a Leafs trade. Don't be ridiculous.

I don't post a lot and have been on this site before I "joined" but I have to laugh at leaf fans. Can't we just change the name from Stamkos to Tavares? Or do we need these threads to go on for two more years again?
because
