What's worse is that as long as JT is sucking up $11M, it's practically impossible for the team to contend, yet, I seem to be the only Leafs fan in the world who thinks the team should be doing whatever they can to get out from under it. Everyone else either thinks,
- Oh, that would be so "classless" to make our captain, a Toronto boy, our prized UFA signing and the guy who got us to the 2nd round, waive his NMC. What free agent would ever want to come to Toronto ever again, for as long as the next two generations of Tavareses are alive???
- Forget it. Not gonna happen. Ever. No player with a NMC has ever been moved. Ever. We're stuck with him. Think of other ways to improve the team, because this ain't it. We're not gonna contend this year or next because of him, you say? Well, we'll see. Maybe you're right. And if you are, at least it's just those two years and we can go back to being a contender in AM & MM's age 28 seasons. I don't care that we're wasting their age 26 & 27 seasons. It is what it is.
I think Leafs should as well but I also think it would just simply be too expensive to be worth it.
