what I believe!! Leafs offered two contracts one as a player and one for when you retire working for MLSE front office for a million or more a year. I donโt know about you I would sign thatโs more money plus future after hockey
John Tavares will be hailed as a hometown hero, and Mitch Marner will be hailed as somebody who asked for (and got) the world, but delivered nothing when it counted.
Leafs were one goal away from being up 3 – 0 against the Panthers, and Nies wasn't 100% after that hit he tried, so the Leafs are right there, but for Marchand's, OT winner . Another power forward that can hit and take a hit is all that is needed .๐
Now he deserves all the leafs fans love. Thatโs a true hometown guy. He couldโve easily got 7-8 million on the open market. Never see Marner do that.
Iโm a Lightning fan but my hats off to Tavares signing this contract. A really good player taking a steep pay cut for his hometown team is the coolest thing Iโve seen in all of pro sports in a long while.

Dubas and Shannahan would have folded and have him 7+
Just give him a bonus if they win the Stanley cup if thatโs possible
No contender was willing to pay for JT that's why he and his agent changed their mind and took a discount ๐
Thatโs called loyalty what we need in Toronto๐จ๐ฆ๐ค

give the "C" back to Tavares
Duchene signed for 4.5
He has the same agent that Johnny T has.
Its no surprise Johnny signed for 4.3

Who needs to justify over 4 mill us?

Do you โknowโ that on the open market he couldโve gotten $21 mil, or โbelieveโ it? Very different.
Johnny T is a real one ๐

I bet he will get a good deal within the leafs organization after his player career is over

Tavares is going for LEGACY, not ๐ฐ
He's my Toronto Maple Leafs Hero. Love you, Tavares.
