Proposal: Taveras to WPG

[liv4socr20]

I am a Ranger fan and me and my Islander fan friend and I were talking about how the team has regressed majorly this season after losing its identity and key players in Franz, Okposo, Martin. Tavares has to sense that he most likely will not be able to win a cup on the Island, especially with the roster constructed as is. He is playing with JOSH BAILEY AND CAL CLUTTERBUCK which is a joke. His contract is up in 2 years and I understand that he is a FRANCHISE PLAYER.

WPG has a glut of talent up front and could jump start and Islanders rebuild which is starting to seem necessary(which is hilarious because they have not achieved much with JT). They would part with a huge package because imagine Laine or Wheeler with Tavares....

To WPG:
Tavares
Pulock

To NYI:
Trouba
Little
Burmistrov
2 of Connor/Dano/Armia
2017 1st

Now this is based on value purely. Not sure with contracts and expansion draft if anything like this could be possible until 2017 but was just gauging the fan bases here to see if value is close. There may need to be some picks/prospects exchanged to balance it out. Maybe Pulock needs to become Hamonic.

Just....why?

 

[MikeRahl]

Winnipeg is going to run with a top 6, 3D and then a bunch of replacement level players I guess?

I guess they would have a good chance at Nolan Patrick, oh wait that pick is gone here too.

 

[JetsHomer]

We have Scheifele so we don't really need Tavares, but I'd certainly do that deal, especially if it was Armia and Dano. I hate to imagine what Laine and Tavares are going to cost on their next contracts though.

I am a Ranger fan

Just in case.

This is a huge and rightful no by the Isles. Tavares is not one to be traded.

 

[liv4socr20]

Just....why?

Because this is a forum for fake GMs to throw stupid ideas around.

WPG looking for a hockey trade and quite frankly the Islanders are horrible.

Tavares should never be traded....but this is for his lesser known evil twin, Sean Taveras.

I think the islanders should fersure trade Sean Taveras for Trouba.

 

[rhinoshawarma]

The real questions is.... who is Taveras?

 

[Captain Controversy]

The real questions is.... who is Taveras?

That is what I was gonna ask.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

The real questions is.... who is Taveras?

I'm sure he's available whoever he is.

John Tavares, however, is not.

 

[seafoam]

Hmm, why would NYI do that?

Suggestion... focus on the Rangers. Get ready for the downward crash.

Wow. Just wow.

One is not like the others

 

[JetsHomer]

Wow. Just wow.

Over the past two years:

John Tavares: 91 games, 38 goals, 43 assists, 81 points

Mark Scheifele: 84 games, 36 goals, 39 assists, 75 points.

 

[chatty4756]

not trying to troll here but you stated that he has to feel that hes not going to win a cup as an islander, why would he go to winnipeg then? the jets aren't a bad team by any means but they are no closer to winning a cup then the islanders even if they had JT

 

[seafoam]

Wow. Just wow.

Scheifele is the real deal and in locked up for a long time at a shade above 6M per. The difference between the two is not four million dollars when Tavares needs a new contract in two years for Winnipeg, considering they have a lot of youngsters who are gonna get paid.

 

[mondo3]

I'd do it if connor and the 1st round pick was taken off of the list

 

[Strait2thecup]

Awful proposal. Funny to see a ranger fan bashing the islanders for not winning with their franchise player when "the king" has yet to win a cup himself. I'll go start a thread on why you should trade him

 

[Strait2thecup]

We have Scheifele so we don't really need Tavares, but I'd certainly do that deal, especially if it was Armia and Dano. I hate to imagine what Laine and Tavares are going to cost on their next contracts though.

 

[JetsHomer]

You are aware that Scheifele is currently outscoring Tavares right? And that Tavares is likely to get 4+ million dollars more than Scheifele when he signs his next contract?

 

[Chardo]

Islanders rebuild? Regressed majorly? Team has had 3rd period lead or tie in 11 of 13 games this year. Special teams have hurt, near bottom of league in both. One PP goal scored or prevented in just a few games and they're right in playoff position. So the solution is to blow up the whole team by trading their one star?

 

[Rufus]

Tavares is not traded anywhere unless a comparable #1 center is coming back. Quantity isn't going to get it done. Little would be a nice piece, but he's been injured a lot recently. This deal starts with Scheifele+

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Scheifele is being incredibly underrated by my fellow Isles fans.

That being said, Tavares isn't going to be traded unless he requests it

 

[Legend123]

im sorry but a few points doesnt out match the career difference both players have had.
As for the Trade, Its horrible for the Islanders, if u cant admit that, idk what to say. A deal that seems to good for your team is a dream trade. Because to tell u the truth, any deal involving Tavares would have to include Laine and Trouba.
But yeah Wnp shouldnt do that since they really have something going.
