John Tavares - The 'Next' Next One
- Thread starter blueline
- Start date
I saw John play in the OHL semi finials he didn't show up at all, he didn't even compete, however he may of been injured. He could go play pro hockey in europe once he turns 18. He cannot be drafted by a NHL team until june 2009 draft.
Seems all isn't so rosey in The "Shwa" these days. Scouts all gone, GM may be next, an owner who wants to run the team. What's next - are we going to hear that JT wants out?buckwheat1 said:

rumour was that he was playing injured but he really wasnt a factor at all in thier last two rounds. I saw a few games over those series and the only time you noticed him was when he was falling on the ice. He looked really lazy (hopefully a nagging injury) and slow out there. Cant imagine he has all of a sudden lost interest. As far as needing an agent? Of course he does. Hes going to making a mint and needs preplanning and direction. Did you hear about the gr 8 basketball player in the states that was offered a scholarship to Kentucky ( i think it was) now THAT is scarey
injured then and healthy and playing already? says he's ready for team canada if he's asked to go...
yes but he wasn't like that in the playoffs. he had one big game with 3 or 4 assists but that really was it. He is a guy that just always seems to be at the right place at the right time and sees the play ahead of time. From what I have seen he is a weak/slow skater, but if you isolate on him and just watch him away from the puck he looks a bit lost but then ends up at the perfect spot. Calculating Id say. thats impressive. Id like people to allow him to carve his own niche instead of having to compare him to others. I think he's got a bit of alot of skills and maybe lacking in others. Hard to say and not too fair to label a guy at such a young ageterbul said:

I can say I saw both of these players play. They are\were both talanted goal scorers. Lee was probably a better skater but Tavares will have a better NHL career. Tavares is going to set the record, Hunter doesn't need him to be on the ice for over 1 1/2 minutes of a power play with a six goal lead.
Brian Burke finally got his wish. Being of South European heritage, family is important to Tavares. That was the major part of his "from the heart" decision. We got lucky, had the Isles not moved to Brooklyn he would have remained with the team. That was a disaster, the Isles had very loyal fans in Hempstedt County and they had their team taken away from from them.
He'll play even better for the Leafs, he's getting home cooking.

Glad you were wrong.
This is great news for the Leafs. So strong down the middle now. Now if we can pick up a good solid D then this team is going to be so difficult to play against. I think with the addition of Tavares and the other talent on this club, you now have a much better chance of attracting top players.
If you think Bud was wrong with Tavares, you should see how wrong he usually is in the politics forum.Glad you were wrong.
