I like the idea of Tavares going to New Jersey. ESPN had an article with 8 potential teams that he could go to. They are...
Back to the Islanders
Tampa Bay
Toronto
Montreal
Detroit
San Jose
Rangers
Vancouver
Islanders - This would be a great move by them, but probably won't happen because of Barzal.
Tampa Bay - Tavares would be playing second fiddle to Stamkos, but with the cap situation, I doubt it happens.
Toronto - Same as Tampa Bay, but instead of Stamkos, it's Matthews.
Montreal - Probably where he ends up. Montreal desperately needs a number 1 center and they get just that in Tavares. Signing Tavares can bring the Habs back to contention.
Detroit - Great way to really get the rebuild going. Detroit also needs a number 1 center.
San Jose - Signing Tavares would be huge to San Jose. He would make this team a perennial threat.
Rangers - Can't see this happening. The Rangers are starting a rebuild, and signing a 27 year old to a long term deal doesn't help.
Vancouver - This would be a great signing. Pettersson is coming in and playing him with Tavares and Boeser would be huge for his development.
