Tavares, growing up, was once one of us. For him to make this call to chase his "childhood dreams" and come home is something Leafs fans have been waiting for for decades. Gretzky was almost a Leaf in his 50's, Coffey tried to be a Leaf, Lindros was a Leaf after his 20th concussion. Stamkos was courted by the Leafs 2 years ago after the Leafs finished last and just drafted Auston Matthews. The list goes on and on. For Tavares to make this decision, while in his prime, has caused a massive orgasm for all of Leafs Nation. (I'm still getting some residual spasms in my left calf as a result). |

Now I'm glad he didn't because it hurts a division rival but personally I think Tavares really dicked them over. |

Can he play defense? Because they still haven't addressed that.

Well the Blues went into FA desperately needing a Top 6 center and a Top 6 winger.
They walk away with more 3rd liners in Perron and Bozak. So for another year, this roster is Schwartz - Schenn - Tarasenko and 15 bottom 6 guys looking for minutes. FML |

You got Bozak at 5M per, so wouldn't that indicate that he's your 2C? The Leafs 2C only makes 925,000 this year.

I'll be sitting there right next to you. Armstrong got ROR and the only thing he really gave up of value was Thompson a 1st, and a 2nd. |

Perron at 4 mil cap hit is fine. Contract is maybe a year or two longer than I'd like, but he's a solid middle six winger who can play RW and shoots right handed. Bozak is solid as middle six center and just ****ing made the Sabres call their bluff on ROR. Armstrong, even without making the ROR trade, signed two guys who don't block Kyrou, Thomas, or Kostin long term. But Armstrong just fleeced Buffalo and got a legitimate top line center who I'd argue is better than Stastny. |
