Maple Leafs sign John Tavares for seven years, $77 million

[Guido]

Keep this in the lobby. The sports section sucks here.

Ready to zip from the Stanley cup?.



The Toronto-born all-star centre, perhaps the biggest name to hit unrestricted free agency in the NHL’s salary-cap era, agreede to a seven-year deal worth $77 million (all dollars U.S.) and instantly raises the fortunes and expectations of a Maple Leafs team expected to be a Stanley Cup contender for years.
Tavares augments a lineup built around youngsters Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander.
The Leafs also lost players to free agency: Tyler Bozak to St. Louis, James van Riemsdyk to Philadelphia, Roman Polak to Dallas and Tomas Plekanec to Montreal.

Word out there is that he was promised Marner would play on his line. What GM promises that?. We will know soon enough.

Just finished watching an interview with Brian Burke listing off millions of reasons why this would never happen. He was wrong.

Brian is too passed his prime time. All he touches turns into losing so why bother listening to him?.

Is it me or is it getting confusing on who is playing with each other. Is the coach playing games with the media and us?.

First game is on. 2-2 after 2 periods.

 

[Goblet]

Won it in overtime.

 

[Mixer]

Who needs defense anymore :biggrin2:

7-4 over Dallas with seconds left.

 

[Napoleon]

Pittsburgh and their clan named Crosby-Malkin humbled us.

Learn from it, team.
