Tavares is the greatest player of ALL time, just in the last 3 years he had 2119pts in 235 games*, an average of over 9pts per game, never seen before.

*Stats from EK

Why?! Why would the Devils want to add a 38 year old who has never won anything?! This story better be a joke, or Fitz will be unemployed much faster than I anticipated. With Sam Bennett most likely getting the same AAV for more years, why wouldnt they focus on him?

Haula & Palat should both be waived and riding a bus in the AHL. That frees up $9 million in cap space. Gritsyuk will slot in to a top 6 wing spot. Sign Bennett and go get another center.
If they sign Tavares Fitz will be fired before the end of the season.

Devils fans on here such clowns.. wah lets not sign a point producing center for 2/3 years and go with more useless bottom six players…a 70pt center def wont help … unreal. Maybe keep hoping hughes plays a full season and curtis lazar finally breaks out

Good Stuff Chris, as usual. I like your plan, but we need to basically fill 2 lines. Some of that from within, but I would imagine a couple of new faces too. Even with that cap relief it would limit our spending elsewhere. And Tavares is 38. Nothing can facilitate a decline like a change of scenery.

Rang, what EK is saying is that Tavares will age very quickly this year, he is turning 35 in September but will be in reality 38 (forged birth certificate is what I am hearing) but he is pretty good with 9pts per game the past 3 years for a player that age.

Tavares clearly did the old Jaun Soto thing and he's really way older than he ever said. He was obviously a grown adult in his 20's when he was drafted.
