Value of: Tavares to Toronto
- Thread starter KingTux
- Start date
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.

Matthews has higher potential than top 5 center in the league? really? do you rent out that magic 8 ball?
doubtful. and again, Toronto does not have a 1C yet so that statement is still untrue.
try Matthews++ if you want Tavares because, this may be a shock I know, Matthews hasn't played a single NHL game AND Tavares was twice as hyped as Matthews was.
Why do the Leafs need Tavares when they signed Stamkos as an UFA?
No worries. Stamkos will get an five year deal from Leafs for 2025-2026 season which shortly thereafter they will somehow unload on the Senators.
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.

Why don't you go outside and shoot some hoops. It's a nice day
JT retires an islander and has his jersey raised to the rafters in which ever of the 5 boroughs the team is playing in at the time

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
Seeing prices like this makes me soo jealous that the Stars got Seguin for peanuts.

I think if Tim Murray lost his mind and offered up Eichel to you guys, you'd definitely listen. Depending on the asking price of course.
'dumping' our prospects who we hope can become what Tavares is now at 25
youre hilarious

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.

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.

Stamkos and Hedman certainly look like they have a good chance of doing so. Stamkos these days has the superstar reputation without the superstar performance, while Hedman has the performance without the reputation. Put them together and we have one true superstar.

That doesn't answer his question. I agree with Warden. This proposal isn't necessary- the Isles can just keep Tavares.
what the hell has tavares ever done that makes him worth 10 to 12 million per year?
