Would i rather have Tavares at $4.38 million or Marner at $13-$14 million . Easy answer
Well done John Taveras. Much respect to you. I can see Nylander and Matthews traded over the course of the next year. The Leafs are restructuring their salary structure.
Leafs hoping knies follows suit and take a team friendly deal 😂😂
You make it sound like John got shafted. In four years Tavares will be a Leaf legend, and Nylander and Matthews will be gone.
That DNA change is really happening eh😂😂😂😂
Jesse Blake just made the leafs sound bad the lineup he thinks they are going to have to start the season with omg they have to be better than that come the start of the season
THANK YOU JT 🙏
Crazy that you aren't steve
Did steve have a heart attack??? Where is the LFR video
Toronto hate watcher here this is a steal for yall great deal!!
What’s the benefit of lowering from 4.5 to 4.38? .12 doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Can someone explain?
was ecstatic when I heard about the 20m/4years, great work to bring it down to 4.38m!
What a joke leafs won’t win with him same as Long Island didn’t win with him
He wouldn’t hit a fly was an absolute no show against Panthers when it mattered most
Dumb move
Again, get rid of Kampf, Robertson, Jarnkrok, maybe Domi, definitely Reilly.
Jesse, don’t say anything, but you are my favorite. You just give the truth.
Can we make him Captain again
Suck it, Drew!
I want the team to finally give Robertson a real chance in the top 6, there are 2 wrong spots available no reason not to give him the chance to play offensive hockey that he doesn't get when he's on the 3rd line
Makes zero difference for the Leafs. They will still choke in the playoffs.
The captain leads by example. Wth JT
Perfect. Now give him back the C. Matthews is a joke!
This is the start of a trend boys… team first, we leaving a bit on the table
91 might go into the rafters with this kind of signing.
Tavares is a true Toronto boy that wants to play for his childhood team. Now, Tre go get Byram from Buffalo. Wave a shiny object at Kevyn Adams and get the trade done.
He’s a true Leaf! Focused more on hockey than starring in commercials!
This is what captains should do
JT is the f’n man. True blue. Respect.
So JT will never hoist the Cup….
John folded and they ripped him off.
great contract from Treliving
The pedigree of a franchise that hasn’t won the cup in nearly 60 years???….they are a joke and not likely to change that until they sign somebody like Brad Marchand, a player who has won and does whatever it takes to win…
JT better get a standing ovation game 1!!
I'm actually really surprised… but it will still mean nothing if they can't get to the conference finals at least.
Does this mean JT gets a management position after playing?
🤣🤣🤣 Converted after taxes? One cup of Tim's coffee. Bums👎
Wow. Now that's a steal, from a habs fan. Almost pains me to say but I guess this guy learned from having the C stripped. At least one of them finally get it
I hope Ekblad is watching
I like it when my hosts scream a little more, but being able to understand the words you were saying was good
JT deserves a standing ovation during the first home game. What an insane hometown discount he took. 3M less than Brock Nelson is crazy
Glad John Tavares is staying with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Why are you shouting at us?
All these leafs fans acting like the guy actually deserved a $10 contract. At this stage in his career, and the way he's been playing, that's exactly what Tavares should be paid.
I heard rumours of $25 million over four or five years and laughed because I thought that was way more than he SHOULD get. I was right.
Retire his number right now
YEAH. i dont need to waste time on this team for 4 more years! (they aint going NOWHERE with this playoff LOSER.)
the guy can't skate. and he will get slower.
Its an OK deal .The AAV is ok but I am not liking that 4th year .,Not sure why the Leafs did that .They could have played more hard ball and reduced it to 3 years /$13.5M I dont want to think of how much his game will drop off at age 39 . Nevertheless its an OK deal .ITs about what hes worth .Everybody says he is worth $7M ? Please .The only reason his numbers are inflated it beause he has been playing with 3 superstars on the 1st PP for the lst 7 years
Someone has to explain how 120,000 * 4 off the cap = $2 million lol
Well that should seal a Cup. Wasn't he just here for the last 8 years and nada, nothing, zippo? Why the excitement.
Jt jumps to the top of the liked list..hell of a smart move
I think a 1st rounder was too much for a Laughton. JT should still be C.
