I think he would have gone anywhere that offered him full control over hockey operations, and the Islanders were the only team who could do that.

I mean there's no way for Lou to know for sure if Tavares would sign or not. If he was so certain of Tavares staying I would think the deal would have been done shortly after Lou took over.

Yeah, there's a lot that could be going on here, but I mentioned earlier that it may be that the Tavares camp has already signaled that they're moving on, and Lou is there to oversee a tear-down of sorts...we really don't know.

This is dumb but more teams probably do it than we realize.
Anyway if Matt Martin is involved in this in any way it'll be his greatest contribution to the team.

"Hey John, do you want everyone you've ever known since Grade School bugging you for tickets? People scrutinizing everything about your life and how it relates to your on-ice performance?"
"How about dealing with an irrational, hypercritical media that will be quick to blame you for any of the team's shortcomings while demanding you give them the time they want? Or a rabid fanbase who will talk about loyalty but are so desperate for success they'll turn on you the moment it seems like you're not everything they ever wanted?"
"Lots of money though, right? Nah, despite the massive amounts of revenues you'd be generating for us we're not allowed to offer you any more than the Florida Panthers or Carolina Hurricanes. Wouldn't be fair to them."

It's actually sorta interesting that this information is getting leaked out. Where'd it come from? Surely the Leafs aren't using the media to signal to Tavares that they're prepared to pull out all the stops in trying to court him just days after it was reported that he was still in negotiations with the Islanders.

Well, if you're lucky enough to sign here, that will never ever happen again for the rest of your life.
It'll be great! People will walk right up to you, and will either shower you with adulation, or they will yell obscenities to your face, solely dependent on your most recent on-ice shift. But like any pro athlete, I'm sure you enjoy that kind of accountability.
Your family will love these kinds of daily interactions."
