John Tavares is a Maple Leaf

[AlmosGirl]

Can?t believe this is happening!!!! So excited. Can?t wait for next season. My little guy is an OV fan but had to wear #91 last season. Started liking Tavares cause same number. Now he wants to stay using #91!

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.

He talked about how the Leafs window to win should be open for all 7 years of the contract, not just the first few. I'm taking that as a Sharks dig.

I thought when he said he wanted to compete for his whole contract that was a hint to when the Sharks exited the discussion.

Huh. Surprising swap at left-wing from Babcock.

Marner just won the jackpot.

So, we're expecting:
Matthew: 55g, 50a, 105 pts
Nylander: 35g, 60a, 95 pts
Tavares: 40g, 60a, 100 pts
Marner: 25g, 115a, 135 pts.

Or something like that, right?

Heh.  I wouldn't be shocked if they got 350 points between them, though.

Tavares says he spent a lot of time speaking with Patrick Marleau who understood what it was like to leave a place he?d been in for so long.

Also noted Matthews and Marner reached out to encourage him to join #Leafs.

Old man Marleau doing God's work

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

To be honest that?s what I thought would happen. But I don?t see how you can?t make Tavares the captain. At the end of the day I personally don?t really care who is the captain.

It'll be Matthews

  I would not name Mathews captain,he might be gone next year.

Why in the world would he be gone?

Lol what?

Theyll likely make Tavares captain after training camp and before first regular season game is my guess. Marleau Matthews and Rielly with an A.

  Offer sheets for the max amount,one for Auston and one for Mitch.  They can probably only match one.

So you're expecting one team to offer sheet both players or separate teams to offer sheet each player? The league that doesn't offer sheet players like ever? Okay
