Tavares

[Joe S.]

Those were awesome throwbacks... code... confirmed ... e4. Good times.

Amonte signs with the leafs. Confirmed.

Saw something on the Twitter suggesting the Leafs offered 1 year at $16m then a 7 year extension.

Sounds unlikely.

I think technically they could offer him a 8 year deal at that point.

They can resign him for an 8 year on Jan 1st. (If he signs a 1 year deal at 16). Tecncally speaking they can overpay the 1st year and get a better 2nd deal.

Won't happen...

Anyway, 1h30 left for the Isles...

So would that sort of approach clasify as out of the box thinking?  If so do you think that would impress Tavares?

C'mon TSN, don't release an update at 11:55 that Paul George has committed to staying in Oklahoma.

So...does that mean the Islanders have turned back into a pumpkin?

Nah, they'll announce in about an hour and half that he's on board for the 8.

Or not.

In any event, I'm going to bed, friends.  When I wake up tomorrow afternoon and login, I want to see a pic of Tavares holding his blue and white C-crested Leafs jersey, a smile of joy illuminating his face.

Just ordered my Godot #91 jersey.

Happy Canada Day! Anyone know what time the fireworks start? Hopefully we?re in for a good show.

 

[herman]

Happy Joffrey Lupul?s freedom day!

 

[Bender]

What is eklund saying?

Tavares will definitely sign today and he might not. Give me all your money. P5 [emoji23]

I find this lack of news...... disturbing.

I actually think it would be brilliant if, say, around 5pm this afternoon his agent moseys onto Twitter to say "John wants more time to go through his binder.  We'll be back in touch in a couple of weeks or so."

Sportsnet has a nice clickbait article up right now.

Chris Johnston doesn't strike me as the kind of reporter to say something like that based on absolutely nothing but I agree it seems pretty misleading to put that in the headline with nothing really behind it.

Dreger is saying whispers are it is the Leafs. Be pretty disappointing now that if that turns out to be wrong.

Did he say that on TV? Can't find a tweet

 

[AvroArrow]

Yes, it was said on TV.

 

[ZBBM]

Well, no matter what happens now the Leafs are closer than they ever were with Stamkos.

Running out of FA centers if they don't get Tavares. Hopefully plan B was not a FA center.
