Machine of Loving Grace Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 There is an official list but more teams coming. Just doesn't seem like Montreal will get an invite at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Nashville could be good. Then they trade Ryan Johansen to Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Not because he doesn't meet Habs that Habs can't throw an 6 years 84M$ offer on July 1st... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, one has to admit it looks beyond unlikely that he signs here. I’m going to just be generic and predict he resigns with the Islanders. Anything else would be... exciting.

I’m definitely biased but I don’t see him in Toronto or Boston. Tampa would be a powerhouse with him. I really don’t see him signing anywhere else, actually. 1) Islanders 2) Tampa 3) San Jose 4) Dallas 5) Toronto 6) Montreal 7) Vegas Guess I don’t see him signing here in Montreal either...

Habopotamus Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Tampa or San Jose would be a dream location. Good hockey team and good weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Their would be a bit of masochistic glee for me if Tavares signed in Nashville and said, "I am excited to try to win a championship with my good friend PK." Bergevin might just need 24/7 security protection for the full season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will already have re-signed with islanders by July 1, or the deal will be done as soon as free agency officially opens on July 1. And no even if we were to offer him the $14m max (maybe a bit higher now with the cap going up), I can’t see him signing with us, given that he wants to win a cup.

I think he’d sign with the hated rangers or Devils, before he signed with. Vegas definitely has a better chance than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely scenario would be bergevin and Molson saying Tavares doesn’t have the attitude we were looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I have to say i'm not really surprised with the 5 teams that Tavares will meet with. It would have been nice if he came to MTL, but I don't think any of us really thought our chances of landing him were very good to start with. It sucks, but we have to move on!

huzer Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I’m somewhat surprised he didn’t entertain the Habs. Seems in the past, most major UFAs have flirted a bit with the team. I guess unlike others thought, Tavares isn’t going to have any issue getting a huge contract from any number of suitors. It’s disappointing, for sure.

Just never seriously thought would be a Hab, but I said same about Petry (not even in same ballpark, but assumed he would go to free agency and sign elsewhere).

Metallica Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I wonder if the Montreal management team could sneak into the building pretending to be floor cleaners then lock themselves in a room with Tavares and get him to listen to them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So young think this management team has the brains to come up with a plan like that?? Now, on the other hand I do think that about all they are qualified to do is be janitors - and even that may be a bit of a stretch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavares can probably pick from any team on the league (only one where it wouldn’t make sense are the pens), and choose where he wants to go and will get his money from anyone. He has no need to use the habs as a chip and knows there is no way he would win there, so why bother? Hell, we were in better shape when stamkos was available and even he wasn’t interested.
