For 3 years it’ll be a solid acquisition.
I’m sure he’d be willing to take less to stay in Toronto, but that offer is a slap in the face
I would sign him for 3 years. Just for a solid 2nd line C and year 3 he becomes a 3rd. Or trade.
Get ready to make another video cuz zegras got traded
montreal wont sign an old slow player in jt , montreal has built a fast big team , why would they slow it down , makes no sense and jt isnt a leader, proof the playoffs
I'm sure he'll make rent and afford groceries. It's truly hard to feel sorry for these guys who make that much money. Sorry LR..I don't share your concern.
then go elsewhere, not even worth that, spoiled millionaires playing a game????
No players want to sign in Montreal, there is zero chance Montreal signs Tavares
No top free agents will sign in Montreal, nobody wants to play there and deal with those fans and media…Taxes in Montreal are brutal and fans only want French guys, they cry if a draft pick isn’t a frenchie
I don‘t think the offer isn‘t shamefull at all he is not good enough for a 2c so he shouldn‘t get paid like a 2c. I wouldn‘t go higher them 5-5.5
Time for Tavares to sign in Ottawa. lol Then re-up Giroux, trade Perron and sign an FA Dman.
Maybe he should sign with the NY Islanders
The habs should sign him they need a centre and is still pretty good i would give him 20 million for three years go habs
never happen montreal wanting speed .. and more size ..hard combo to find
