I'm in the same boat. Like that he's back, but 8x8 is mehhhhhh....not great

then I read the Instagram post by his wife about loving this city where they met and fell in love and started their life and had their kids and have both of their families close by and I'm like REMEMBER IT'S A BUISNESS, WIN FIRST, THINK OF THE FUTURE, NO STOP, DON'T AWWWWwwww that's so sweet <3u.

1-Seattle's expansion fee is going to bolster the cap within 1-2 years.
2-Regardless, theres likely to be another lockout in 4 years.

Tavares meeting with 5 teams during the interviewing period: Leafs, Bruins, Stars, Sharks and Bolts.

Apparently the Habs approached him to meet this week as well, but he refused. Which I find hilarious.

[Xajii]

Got to go to a game in every round, SCF was insane. Went to the parade, got sunburnt, didn't see much of anything, had a blast.

How do the Leafs plan to fit Tavares under the cap?!?

A giant one year deal, probably.

We also have a lot of money off the books now with Lupul, Bozak, JVR and Komarov all gone. The only one I could see them bringing back is Bozak.

Note surprised about the habs

Tavares doesn’t like being under media spotlight, and due to that I’m surprised Toronto is in the list

[Obsidian]

Kinda suggests he doesn't care about the media spotlight and just doesn't want to go to a shit team, doesn't it.

Talking high for a team who didn’t made the playoffs for years and didn’t win the cup for longer time then said shit team

I personally wouldn't want to go to a team where the GM promises me I'm not going to be traded, only to then trade me and claim I was a locker room cancer, even though all my former teammates came out and said it wasn't true.

Don’t worry I knew Tavares wouldn’t come here lol. All I’m saying is that I’m surprise a city with high media coverage is in his list

But yeah who the fuck would come to mtl

Apparently a domestic abuser, Mr. Voynov

Or he doesnt want to join a team that treated one of his childhood friends like shit then had the local media run an absolute smear campaign on him, which has nothing to do with "going to a shit team"... atleast pertinent to on-ice product, managements ethics are a whole new can of worms.

Oh man I love your new avi.

Larry's great!

MIA after the Cup final. So amped for Peks' Vezina win; great guy and well deserved. RIP Trotz in WSH.

[NynJa]

Wow, caps letting DSP walk, not even given a qualifying offer.

They did the same with Connolly last year as well. Still, a bit surprising, but i think it's to avoid arbitration

Cannot wait for the spin on that one.

Dude who donates 10M to a children's hospital? Locker room cancer, distraction. Guy who beat his wife for so long his neighbors heard his wife screaming and called 911? That's the kind of player we want to sign.
