Agree with you on everything except how much Tavares signs for. He will get over $11 million, I agree with you that he shouldn’t but desperate teams will offer him ridiculous contracts. Cough cough MTL
Well I cant agree with you there. Tavares certainly wont get more than 10M per season in cap hit. He'll might get $13M real money for a couple years at the most. see my table below. Tavares is a really really good player, but he is not at the McDavid, or even Stamkos level at even strength. Some GM's may be dumb, but they aren't that dumb. Tavares also is going to go to a team where he's going to do a lot of winning.
P/60 Rank - Name - P/60 - Total Points - Contract AAV
3 - McDavid - 3.2 - 108 - 12.5M
6 - McKinnon - 3 - 97 - 6.3M
7- Matthews - 2.93 - 63 - ELC
8- Barzal - 2.89 - 85 - ELC
11 - Kucherov - 2.85 - 100 - 4.8M
12 - Marchand - 2.83 - 85 - 6.1M
14 - Giroux - 2.73 - 102 - 8.3M
17 - Stamkos - 2.6 - 86 - 8.5M
85 - Tavares - 2.03 - 84 - ???
Good discussion though. I appreciate the respectful discourse.
