Rumor: TOR and John Tavares close to a deal: 3 years at 7 million

[Ianturnedbull]

Just working on some fine tuning between the two parties.

What do you think?

[arthurcason]

I'm comfortable with the $7 million per year for three years. He remains a productive player, and I believe he can maintain this performance for the next few years. Get er done!

 

[hfman]

great move. the guy shows up every night and delivers and genuinely cares about the team. keep him

 

[Jojalu]

This is absurd. I like JT and he is having a fine season but I would rather overpay Sam Bennett just to mix it up.

To me this also confirms they are about to resign Marner, who again I have zero issue with but collectively this team does not work for whatever reason.

I would love to be wrong and they win the Cup this year, but I think I would wait until the playoffs were finished before handing out extentions

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Another day, another slap in the face.

 

[IPS]

Ahahahahahahahaha omg.. Hopefully David Pagnotta is full of shit.

 

[Metroid]

Why can't it be 5. He won't go anywhere else.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Too little. This guy single-handedly keeps revenue canada employed. Needs to be at least three times that amount

 

[The Management]

I always go to bat for JT around here, but you'd think, providing we bow out early again this year, if the philosophy is to change the leadership group in the dressing room and give the team a fresh feel in some way, he'd be an easy candidate to let walk. Doesn't leave us enviable at center, though.

I would put the odds of the Leafs signing Tavares and Marner at something higher than 100%.

 

[sunstersun]

If this is true, you might as well plan the rebuild when Matthews walks in 3 years.

What do you think?

Ill believe it when elliotte says it
Its getting rediculous how many insiders are around now
Frank spagettielly will be next say marner gets traded
Summer has come and gone

I'd be happier if this new AAV was under $7 million, but a $4 million savings on his current deal in an inflating cap world is not bad. Although I've also wondered if it would make sense to walk away from JT entirely and just have $11 million in open cap to operate with.

As it stands, you can think of that $4 million raise being gobbled up by this current Matthews deal and the next Marner deal.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Nope.

No one should be signed before the playoffs.

Exactly.

So they are net even.

But Knies is going to get a raise so already leaving less room to improve elsewhere.

Not a fan of this robotic human being. Seriously, he inspires nobody and couldn't lead a horse to water. Tre is a joke!

 

[Jmo89]

We should have an HF Festivus. It would be a bloodbath for the mods.

 

[thewave]

The gang will stay together and you will buy the tickets capiche. Maple Leaf Mafia is the best mafia, savage

 

[keonsbitterness]

Three year deal for Marner will complete the set. 2028 or bust.

[Mckay]

Sounds like a good deal to me. With how much the cap is increasing the next few years, that # is not as high as a percent of the cap as it looks.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Please no... it's time for a change in the lineup. It's fair value but we need something different in the lineup.

Speed o speed why do they not get speed while all the serious contenders are skating circles around us
