New York Rangers to lure John Tavares back to New York? Unexpected development
The Toronto Maple Leafs and John Tavares could part ways when he becomes a UFA. After being stripped of the Captaincy the door for Tavares is halfway out the door already.
Could GM Chris Drury and the Rangers find a way to lure Tavares back to New York?
Wayne Gretzky found his way to Broadway after supposedly being a "lifetime Oiler" and found it irresistible.
Mark Messier, another "lifetime Oilers" loved it in New York as well, winning a Stanley Cup here.
As the Maple Leafs seek to move on from Tavares's cap hit, his lack of ability to help push the team to a Stanley Cup, and as his contract expires in 2024-2025, could he find his way on the Rangers lineup?
Who's to say he's not a fit? The Rangers have signed players like Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane, who weren't the best fits either.
How would it sound when Tavares as a Ranger enters UBS Arena in a Blueshirt? Taking a faceoff? The aggression from fans would be mind-blowing.
How would Islanders fans feel?
"So, if Tavares did that. I'd give him credit for taking things to the next level." Then, a pause: "But it also would take my hatred for him to a new level!"
And Patrick Hoffman, a Hockey Columnist offered his opinion on Tavares, and it's not so great:
Then a pause, not unlike Mike Leboff's: "As such, that would be a huge NO for me!"
So, would you want to see Tavares in a Blueshirt? Yes or no?
