Veteran NHL captain, John Tavares may be on the move to Central Division team.
The Toronto Maple leafs are exploring all options to bolster their roster ahead of the next season. Recently all speculation has been surrounding the idea of trading Mitch Marner, however one NHL insider John Tavares could be the one to go.
With Tavares on his final year of his 7-year contract he's expressed his desire to stay with the Maple Leafs. However, according to NHL insider Jeff Marek he believes that Tavares could be a target of the Utah HC.
«I had a conversation with someone who wondered about a team like Utah and here's why, Utah has a lot of young players, Logan Cooley is an obvious one, Utah is most likely in the business for veteran players on short-term deals and the theory is that they could offer Tavares a pretty healthy number on a 2-yr contract as a why to entice him to waive a no-trade.»
Throughout the Maple Leafs season, Tavares managed to tally up 65 points with 29 goals and 36 assists in 80 games. It makes perfect sense for Utah to show interest in an effective player and great leader.
