He didn't want a team to lose assets for him, wtf do you think he meant by that? He basically said im going to Toronto to win and I don't want them to lose anything for me when I can sign as a UFA and keep their system strong

If he said "lose assets", it would be a slam dunk. He didn't. Saying " 'I didn't want to come to a team and feel like they have to subtract what they had' leaves it open to concerns about cap issues. A reasonable concern considering the big names coming due for a raise. Sounds like a guy who wants to win a cup.

Just saying.

..and furthermore....lol

That sounds like JT controlled who made deadline offers for him. I mean, how else could he keep Toronto from making an offer that "subtracts assets"? JT had no control over that. Snow TOLD Tavares he wouldn't be traded, not the other way around.

The only control JT had was picking from the offers he had after the Isles signing period passed. So, he went with the team that gave him the best chance to win. If the Leafs weren't going to be able to re-sign Nylander or Marner because they spent too much on JT, maybe he takes one of the other offers.

lol I was wondering if anyone noticed that.

Poly isn't a Dog, (even though he sometimes acts like that cute puppy you lock in the yard and forget about) he's a Parrot using Capn's computer.

Do you think he’d punt a puppy off a bridge if it convinced Trotz to move Barzal to wing?

Sorry about the puppy.

On the bright side, the Parrot is happy.

Geez, you are being brick headed about the alt thing. let it go, or re-read my explanation, which was crystal clear. I guess I DID need to go on. lol

Not debatable?? Do you have a God complex? Yours isn't the only valid opinion. Tavares had other offers in hand when he met the Leafs. I'm open minded enough to consider he wanted to sign with a team that could afford him without shedding talent. This is definitely a reasonable concern considering the pending contract situation in Toronto.

- Puckin_Island

Yeah ok so now we know. Thank you.

Yeah that’s exactly how every, single, person, took it besides this guy. Just because he wants to debate a stupid point. He’s just to pig headed to admit he was wrong and move on. Where’s the proof of me using alts?

Whaaa whaaaa whaaa Puckin won't agree with me....whaaaa

Holy sheet. WTF?

You seem awfully worried about that alt thing. The fact that you're still asking after I explained in detail how I fooled you shows you have trouble with comprehension.

I get the sinking feeling that the Penguins will lose and go directly from Mario, to Sid to Lefreniere.
