The Toronto hockey fanfic segment is absolutely losing it after hearing this.

2 WJC's, an Olympic Gold and a World Cup.

Seems to me like Tavares does ok in a team setting if he's got a Maple Leaf on his chest.

I liked the suggestion that Morgan Rielly should be the Captain.

I liked the suggestion that Morgan Rielly should be the Captain.

That's what I said before, but now? I go Tavares with the C, Rielly with the A, Matthews and Marleau rotating the other A before Matthews takes it over after Marleau retires.

In terms of throwing shade, Tavares just mentioned how Steven Stamkos was in a "different situation" than he was and how that maybe is why they came to different conclusions.

Tavares wasn't offered the C. Dreger 100% wrong again

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Tavares says the C was never brought up in negotiations.

Dubas says they won't rush the captaincy decision. My interpretation is that it will likely happen during or after training camp at the earliest.

 

[Bates]

Dubas looks like he just wants to bust out a massive grin, decent first few weeks on the job!!!

Komarov gets 4 years and 12 mil from the isles.  Good trade for the leafs.

Wow, what a day for the LeafsNation!

It's Canada Day, John Tavares day, it's been simply...unbe-leaf-able!!

 

[lc9]

Gone are: Komarov, JVR, Bozak and Polak.

In: Tavares and youth.

 

[lc9]

Tavares basically indicates that the decision came down to the isles and leafs, that was as of a couple days ago.

Looks like many people over estimated the sharks positon.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Gone are: Komarov, JVR, Bozak and Polak.

Those 4 will have a combined cap-hit of $16.3mil next season.
