Thread: Tavares plus
You are quite right... This is an unlikely scenario but pretty much one of the only scenario where montreal could jump back as a contender. Mtl would likely offer more to the islanders, but cannot afford to send them a good player without hurting their chance of tavares wanting to sign with them... Maybe hudon or shaw (unlikely that the islander would want him) could be part of the deal and contribute immediatly... Maybe mtl if they know tavares would sign would switch the second for a protected 1 rounders in 2019/2020... I keep thinking bergvin and molson knows somthing we dont and really think they have a chance to land tavares which would explain why they so didnot eant to spend the 8 millions dollars they had to play with this year... Apparently weber, price and tavares are good friends... W'll see, if they dont land him, they should go in rebuild!

Thanks for commenting.

Considering that montreal is in a bad tax position, being the only team who can offer an 8 years contract would give them an edge over sanjose/st-louis. If not, mtl will have to over pay of 750k/1.5 millions per to compensate the high taxation level in quebec... That is where the acquisition of the right become handy in order to keep a cheaper cap for signing tavares... Plus, the package offer is not that overwhelming since i am not that high on sherback and mcniven remains a long shot... As for stastny, the way the line-up is build, there would still be a way to increase our offer by buying out dale weise and replacong him by a cheap option like mccaron /or a similar ufa who fall without any deal at the end of free agency. I may be with you regarding pleckaneck but i just tought it would be cheaper to get an insurance now instead of spending draft picks at the trad deadline!
