The fact is that when the Maple Leafs win the cup there will still be people who complain. It's what they do.
The Maple Leafs could go 82-0 and sweep four rounds to win the cup and some people would still complain.

Truce?
Why doesn't the injury excuse fly anymore? Because it doesn't fit the narrative?
He had an oblique injury that affected his summer training, and then broke his hand 8 games into the season. So just as he was getting his body back into shape, he all of a sudden couldn't shoot.
I like Tavares but after the deal which transformed our internal cap I’m also one of his biggest critics. This is a weird series and CBJ is good at shutting players down. He’s been getting chances and hasn’t been awful. Not 11 mill but I’ve learnt to stop viewing him in that light cause I’m kind of convinced he’ll never live up to that tbh.
I feel if he was Making 8/9 like he should we wouldn’t be having this thread. Dubas’ mistake to give him 11 shouldn’t be constantly held against him (although I’m sure it will and will only get worse)

We wouldn't be having this thread for sure because he'd be playing in San Jose right now.

He's playing well. I know there are guys who wake up every morning and wonder what negative thread they can invent today, JT is not such a topic.
Might be more fun to enjoy the playoffs.

Leafs fans should remember that Tavares accepted $2 million less to sign in Toronto, since San Jose offered him 7 years and $13 million AAV.
If you scroll through this thread, you’ll find my post where I admitted he looked amazing in Game 2.
That would be the worst signing in free agency in quite some time to be honest. I know it was rumoured but SJ really dodged a bullet there
I would not be complaining.
I think we all do, this place doesn't exactly scream productivity.

I did not see the 3 RFAs getting what they did
and the rest of the league seemed to agree that Dubas "new RFA paradigm" was utter BS ,,,no one followed his lead

YUP, it was a double OFFA for dubas (bad RFA deals IMO,,that's on him ) and covid-19 no fault of his own
BUT i don't see him painted into a "impossible/crazy corner,
BUt it is a tight one)
lots hanging on sandy/lilly development

I don't think it's fair to call Nylander's contract a bad RFA deal from Dubas based on how he played in the regular season.
The only thing we can hate was how it played out and that he was not re-signed a lot earlier.
oh, i think it's fair about Nylander,,year one was a utter disgrace
if you compare his deal to his equals Ehlers/Kyle Conner/Larkin/Guentzel/ wellllll
this past reg season , i would say he earned it,,,not under BUT also not "extra value"

Without a doubt Nylander's 2018-19 season after he re-signed was horrible.
However others said he will play a lot better when he doesn't miss training camp or any regular season games.
I have no interest in hearing excuses, he got paid and cap hit 10.25 million last season ,
