Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 30, 2018 Report Posted June 30, 2018 Today is the deadline to know if Tavares is staying or leaving the Islanders Not really. Today is the last day that the Islanders can sign him for 8 years. At midnight they become, like every other team, only able to sign him for 7 years. I think that's right? Quote
WildCard Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Posted June 30, 2018 Not really. Today is the last day that the Islanders can sign him for 8 years. At midnight they become, like every other team, only able to sign him for 7 years. I think that's right? You're right, but that's what makes it the deadline. There's no point in him walking away from an extra year on his deal that would be $12M+ when he's 35; he won't ever get that money in a single year again at that age. Quote
Derrico Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Well I'm guessing Tavares is out on the Islanders by this point. Quote
Taro T Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Well I'm guessing Tavares is out on the Islanders by this point. C'mon Tampa or Dallas. Send in that last minute "wow" offer. F### TO. & we need the Snarks to just miss the playoffs this year so when the wheels fall off the next season Buffalo has a nice lottery ticket. Quote

If Tampa is offering pretty close salary why not go there? Championship calaber team, beautiful weather and cheap taxes. Quote
Derrico Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 So at this point Lou must know but keeping it to himself? Quote
WildCard Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Well, it would appear Tavares is leaving as he still hasn't given word. I regret nothing Edited July 1, 2018 by WildCard Quote

WildCard Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Posted July 1, 2018 Just add it to the long line of bad moments for you on this forum :pI was right about Stamkos! Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 I was right about Stamkos! Bah humbug. Quote
Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Wonder why its taking so long ? He knows the teams by now I think. Unless he wasn't happy with the offers and is talking to extra teams ? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Wonder why its taking so long ? He knows the teams by now I think. Unless he wasn't happy with the offers and is talking to extra teams ? Assuming he has made up his mind...If it's Toronto or San Jose I'm not sure what's taking so long. If it's Tampa, he may have to wait for them to clear out cap space. Of course, he may also simply have not made up his mind yet. Quote
Brawndo Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Arthur Staple is reporting this AM, JT has rejected the idea of signing a one year 15.9 Million Dollar Contract. Quote

Sabel79 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 The longer this goes on with nobody having any clue, the funnier I think it would be if JT signed with someone off the radar (Vegas?). Don’t expect it to happen, but still... Quote
Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 I have a feeling we made a last minute offer :p Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Well, ###### I'm holding you responsible for this. By not giving us options, you pushed him to Toronto. Quote
