We're trying to win a Cup, not cash in on half of our last line of defense with the hope to build towards the future of the team years down the line.
Given that goaltending has let us down so many times in the playoffs, I'm shocked anyone would consider trading either of these cheap good...
Like Marner, Tavares won’t want to go anywhere else. There’s zero rush to be talking extension. Finish the year and then work it out. It’s not like his price will go up. His age acts as a ceiling against that, and we should get any financial benefit from him potentially not finishing strong...

Unclear how many more star level PPG seasons he can have in him.
