I mean Tavares is way better than ROR. He’s just expensive.
I share the overall speed concern with Leafman101 re: bringing back ROR. Though man the UFA market is shit.
Totally. Tavares can't pass or score anymore. Just useless. And "more slow" - what a knock on him in this comparison.I find it incredibly amusing that LOF incorrect outlandish complaints could be better applied to the more expensive, more slow Tavares....
He was complete trash during his time here. He feasted off of linemates and has very little skill left in him. Can’t pass, can’t score. He’s just a glorified grinder picking up points due to the other guys. He shouldn’t even have been in a position to pick up those PP points since nobody but Keefe would sit Willy for him.
Back as our 3C on a reasonable deal? I’m down. Anything more and it will fuck us.
no jammies thoughOutscored Tavares regular season and playoffs, with less PP time, worse linemates, and better nerdies in far tougher usage.
There could be an argument for JT having an edge over ROR but the likely 6 million gap in cap hit doesnt cover it.

How cute.Outscored Tavares regular season and playoffs, with less PP time, worse linemates, and better nerdies in far tougher usage.
Which player was?I don't think either player was particularly great in the playoffs.
How cute.
9 points in 11 playoff games. 5 of those were on the PP. His 4 even strength points included that terrible seeing eye goal when we were 6 on 5. Another was his pushing in a Knies shot resting on the goal line. (Meanwhile, Tavares with 8 points in 11 games, and 5 of them at even strength, including the series winning goal).
And again, ROR was playing on the PP when Nylander, a far superior player, got punted to PP2 and got no PP time. Meaning, he shouldn't even have been on the ice to get those 5 points, and to score into an open net after Marner dances around back and forth and finds him.
Let's not even talk about the regular season points, where aside from his adrenaline-fueled hat trick in his first game, he was terrible, with 1 goal and 6 assists (3 of which were on the PP where we all know he did jack shit). Oh, and his classic lying on the ice and having the puck hit his ass off a Tavares shot, which Tavares then deposited into the net, thereby giving ROR one of those assists. Hilariously ironic.
It's too bad you're playing with your calculator during the games to see what's actually happening on the ice.
think he was on the ice for a bunch of goals against?Lmao did Tavares do anything at all outside of that one blowout game?
he did have that weak seeing eye softie series winnerLmao did Tavares do anything at all outside of that one blowout game?
Don't worry about Tavares. Worry about showing that ROR is actually a top sixer, and not some bottom six fraud, that you'd commit term and dollars to, that you'd be on the hook for long after Tavares' deal is done.Lmao did Tavares do anything at all outside of that one blowout game?
