Tavares won't sign in Toronto because Toronto won't go after him. There's no need to. But Price is the Goat, I'll agree with Palhal in saying it wasn't mishandling by management and such that big FA's stay away, it's because Toronto was heavily criticised by fans, not the media or bad management. Fans jumped onto the hate waggon if the team was losing and criticised the best players, and we never really had reputable management before a year or two ago. Now we have a great coach that players love, a good management above and great trainers to help them, players have shown interest in playing in Toronto, as recently as Shattenkirk at the TD saying he was open to coming to Toronto, and multiple other players who love what the team has.
Tavares is good, but I will agree and say that he wants to win, and although Toronto is priming to become a winner, they have no room for him on their roster, and he'd want to be a 1C, not a 2C
