  1. So assuming the Sedins do retire this year do we look at signing Tavares as 14 mill gets free'd up?  Yes I do realize, the Islanders will try to resign him asap but just for discussion...

     

    We get a #1C that could replace Henrik allowing us to get an elite forward, speeding up our rebuild....

     

    Thoughts? His points/ game and +/- stat are better against Western conference teams compared to Eastern (yes there is a smaller sample size)

     

    What does a Tavares contract look like no matter who signs him?

      I see him less likely in TO as Matthews will get 10+ million IMO.

      But the problem is we lack on D and in goaltending. We would need to sell some potential prospects to rebuild faster if we want this to work with the Sedins....

       

      Ericksson - Tavares - Boeser

      Sedins- Goldobin

      Sutter - Horvat - Gralund 

      Gaunce - Gagner - Burmistrov

       

      We lack the toughness, our D would not be playoff worthy, and Goal tending would be a huge hole....

       

      I don't see us winning the cup with this sadly.

      I guess the next question is, does Tavares have any connection to Vancouver at all? And whats the opportunity cost?

       

      We could probably land E Kane for a lot less and have similarish point production and more grit. We have leaders in guys like Bo and Tanev, and we'd end up not being able to extend someone else on D. 

       

      I like the guy a lot, but see the opportunity cost as too high.
