Look at Doughtys contract from today. Theres an age factor that goes into it also. Yeah, this is sort of where I'm at as well. I'm not saying JT is a bad player, and yes, I understand that contracts go up each and every year such that if Ovechkin and Crosby and Stamkos came on the open market today, they too would probably be making at least 11. That said, I stand by my assertion that JT isn't a third better than JVR is. And I think Toronto has bigger needs (defense, as someone else suggested). BTW I'd take both Malkin and Kopitar over JT. Both have led their teams to multiple Stanley Cups and that counts for something. Malkin is a perennial threat to win the scoring title, Kopitar is a perennial threat to win the Selke while simultaneously leading his team in points. I feel like Tavares is this decades version of Rick Nash. He's that guy that we keep being told is really great, and that it's totally not his fault he plays with a bunch of losers who can never make the playoffs. And that as soon as he gets traded to a good team he'll clearly win many cups and a Hart. Well, that didn't really work out for Rick Nash. And I'm not sure it's going to work out here either. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - https://imgur.com/W66HUUy http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ ...
