Thread: Flyers w/ Tavares (simple)

No it doesn't? This is the exact type of thing that was the point of clearing cap space. So we could make moves and go all in on elite talent if it's available. JT absolutely helps the Flyers and if you disagree and think someone like Rubtsov or Frost or anyone is a lock to be that level good you're clueless.

I'll put it this way. What provides more wins for the team over the next 3 years and gives them a better chance to win the cup?

Weise, AMac, Lehtera, and Raffl at $14.3M

OR

Tavares, Frost, and Vorobyev $13M

... pretty clear the direction I'd go. Plus, by the time the second wave of young kids need new deals G will be expired and signing for less or moving on and maybe Voracek is moved or easier to move with less term left (think Kessel type deal or something). Signing JT would essentially allow the Flyers to role back the clock and try to win with Giroux. I can't believe i have to even explain why signing a player like Tavares would be amazing haha. If you want me to put it another way would you rather play PIT in Rd 1 next year with JT, Coots, and Patrick down the middle or Coots, Patrick, Laughton/Bozak/Lehtera/or any other plug UFA?
