I'm sorry, but Tavares at 77 million can't be a good signing. It made all those Maple Leafs think they also deserved a ton of money.
Agreed
He’s good but not 11 mil good
So many other teams like my islanders could’ve locked him up.. still shit. But if the leafs get him and his contract off and have a “solid playoff team” and still don’t get passed the first round sure yes this is the best or one of the best signing from that year but that year had so many other good players signed too so idk def not best nvm but pretty fucking good if he’s the only reason why the leafs actually got passed the first round because imagine him on the islanders in the 2021 season with a slight higher cap they could’ve beat Tampa.
Wayy too much for a OK player
and you think the islanders would have been able to ice the same team for $12-13m Less (he would have demanded more to stay their)? Not a chance.
Best one for 2018 is not Tavares, it is David Perron. Blues won cup the year after the signing and scoring about a 0.75 pts per game for 4 millions.
Definitely agree there
When I heard Johnny T I was waiting for the just kidding and it didn’t come
😭😭😂😂
Honestly snorted out loud at the Tavares deal. 25 goals for 11 mill is hilarious
Edit: ohh i see what you did there. Getting us all typing comments.. well played
Tavares being the best free agent signing of 2018 has to be a joke. One of your worst takes ever.
Which signing from 2018 was better
@@OhNyquist David Perron?
@@OhNyquistRobin Lehner was one of the best goalies in the league for Islanders with cap hit of 1.5 million.
How did that pan out
I know lots of people outside Toronto who love that the leafs gave him that contract
Imo hyman is the best on this list
Not necessarily the best player but the best value, he a 50 goal scorer is a perfect fit with McDavid and has also been to the cup final and was a big part of it
He’s earned a spot on Canada’s Olympic team.
Agree, the dumbest thing Dubas did was let Hyman walk. Been looking for his replacement ever since 😡🤬
@@jonathanpayne4772 and that’s another thing as well
Loui Eriksson snubbed
Lucic snubbed
I literally was thinking the same thing 😂
He didn’t want to chose between him and loui
Maybe the contract is too small, but in 2016 Marchessault for 750K, good for 30 goals was a gem. I guess that could be in a video about the best UFA steals.
Would love to see a best/worst trades for each team in last decade. And maybe a best/worst all time for each franchise
The best FA signing is the one u don’t make
“Fit like a glove next to mcdavid” is a phrase I didn’t think I’d ever hear
Tavares at 11m per year is one of the worst contracts in the nhl. moreover, he screwed the leaf's postseason hopes. Also they shouldn't have given him the C
bread appreciation post ->> 🥖
You’re adding a lot of conditions for the Tavares deal to be good
Capitals fan here. Getting Niskanen was great for us, but people tend to forget he was part of a "packaged deal", cause the Capitals also had to sign Niskanen's good friend Brooks Orpik to secure the former's services. The problem with Orpik was that he was a shutdown defenseman at age 34, and he signed for 5 years, and while Orpik is a leadership type of player, him joining the Capitals came at a time when contending teams were built around youth and speed. So while the Capitals secured Niskanen entering his prime years, I'm honestly surprised Orpik worked out well for us, given his age and playing style. Both Orpik and Niskanen were part of the team that won the Stanley Cup in 2018, so I guess I should not complain about the outcome.
Hawks fan here, love the Mikheyev trade. We needed more middle-6 talent, and even get an upgrade in the bottom-6 (assuming Lafferty signs), all while moving up 2 rounds.
Especially love it because Mikheyev's contract is off the books at the same time we'll be giving Bedsy and Korchinski new deals.
Overall, great deal all around, win-win for everyone involved
i’m a jets fan, but that zach hyman contract has to go down as one of the great contracts i’ve seen in my lifetime. The production is just not right for how much he’s paid 😂
Ducks fan here. I subscribed a long time ago and just wanted to say I love your content. Thanks again!
Cheers mate!
You should do a video on some of the best nicknames out there cause Mr. Game 7 is unreal
As for Hyman: I’m no oilers fan. But fuck guys like Berkshire who try to discredit what Hyman has done. They don’t ask how, they ask how many
100%!
I don't like the Tavares take because it's just too much money and too long. He's not a player like Bergeron/Barkov, who plays top level on both ends, or like Mckinnon, McDavid, Kuch,... who are on another level with their offensive production. That would be worth this contract, JT's performance is not worth that much.
Zero chance Tavares’ deal was good for the leafs. It enabled off ice issues (loss of team leverage in negotiations) that kept them from adding to the Leafs roster. Why pay a guy a franchise altering deal that’s never played a minute for your team AND isn’t the best player on the team? Doesn’t make sense and creates more issues later on.
My predictions for the Rangers:
Trade Trouba to free up cap
Resign Lindgren + Schneider
Sign Kane at 4-6mil
As a hawks fan I was pretty happy about that trade was happy we got Laffy back only to find out he signed with Buffalo 😢 but at least we get Mikayev who could have a career year with us
John Tavares contract is cancer to the Leafs. Dude wanted to play for his home team so bad he screwed them over by wanting to be paid too much. If he really wanted to play for them then he should've taken a team friendly contract so they can get other players to be around him. Look at a lot of the teams that have won the cup lately. Lots of players on team friendly contracts.
Tavares was not a good deal no chance and I’m not even a leaf fan
Loved the trade for Vancouver. Fred up a bunch of money for them to resign their guys
Tavares' production is 10% greater , and his leadership in the room is 20% greater in ANY other NHL city. The pressure of the media and the "fans" are what kill players in Toronto. Wait and see what happens if Marner is traded. Look at Hyman and O'Reilly from this list. They are truly elite , in one way or another.
Give some love to Clade Girox to Ottawa (sorry for spelling) he has brought a lot of offense for a good price love my man hope he stays. With Ullmark the team will be much better i hope. I hope. That is what kills you as a ottawa fan
Here’s another trade that just happened
Flames Receive:
2025 2nd round pick
Capitals receive:
Andrew Mangiapane
Thoughts?
Put some respect on my GOAT, Evengii Dadonov and his name 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😠
I loved him in Ottawa too bad Doreon screwed everything up and tainted his legacy there
Who do u think the sharks are gonna draft after trading up from 11 👀
Zach Hyman is def the best but Danault is really an underrated signing.. I miss him on the Habs and he’s been performing really well in LA since he’s gone
I think Tavares slipped through the videos lol feel like he was meant for the worst signings?
I think percentage of cap hit would be a good stat to include
Tavares was and is one of the worst contracts in recent memory , they needed defenseman and his contract completely ruined the teams internal cap structure , plus he's never won anything in the NHL , overrated player
At the time Tavares signed with the Leafs, the Leafs were THIRSTY to show the fans that they had the players needed to contend for a Cup. And most of the Leafs fans were ecstatic at the time to see Tavares in their jersey! What management at the time failed to do was sign any of those core players to cap friendly deals. They ignored the salary cap constraints to appease their fanbase. In doing so they temporarily relieved the pressure on themselves to show the illusion of progress. However the team wasn’t really making any true progress. We could use this analogy to help put things into perspective.
Let’s say I am in the market to buy a new vehicle. In this example I have my eye on a brand new 2024 Toyota Tacoma truck. The dealership has two of the same models to choose from. Literally the only difference between the two models is the price. One of them is $80,000. The other is $580,000. Both built on the same day in the same factory by the same person. Both made to the exact same specifications. Who in the right mind would ever entertain buying the model that is priced $500,000 more expensive for the exact same thing?
NHL GMs need to sign contracts for their players with similar stats and ceilings to similar AAVs and term deals. Otherwise they’re not working with the same value.
Do every teams best trade of all time
Can you do a free agency prediction video please
Doing that on the 30th! Day before
Tell us where you think Stamkos lands before
@@OhNyquist 🔥🔥
Jari Kurri made a hall of fame career being a backboard for Gretzky, Hyman could be the same type of pkaywr.
Should be titled "Most expensive free agent signings"
Honestly one of your less thought out videos.
Remember when people called the hyman contract erikson 2.0
Why would the leafs sign Tavares 10 out of 10 times seeing them lose in round 1 every time and Kadri winning a cup
John Tavares lol. Love is blind my friend.
Mr game 7 was never game 1 through 82.
What about Johnathan Drouin for a league minimum prove it... which he did.
Mby honorable mention to Pastrnak 2017 6x6.666$
These were only guys who signed with a new team!
Tavares in 2018 meh
Im sorry but Tavares has got to be one of the worst, its the singular reason the Leafs are in cap hell. Without him on the roster they are probably better overall and dont have a blackhole of a contract
Bro has Tavares on the list!!!
Then puts Panarin!!!
😂😂😂😂 🤡
Just say no to drugs , kids.

Tavares signing in Toronto at 7 X $11m was a FANTASTIC thing... for the New York Islanders. The Isles would never have been able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, TWICE, and remain competitive all these years with that boat anchor tied to their franchise. Islander fans are still chanting, "We don't need you," every time JT shows up on Long Island. So, yes, that was a great contract signing, just not for the team that signed him.
We could easily argue that the Tavares contract in 2018 is the main reason why the leafs have failed. You already had your top line center in Matthew who needed to be signed with your two young wingers as well and we could argue that giving that money to Tavares instead of a top pair D or a goalie and putting all that money into 4 forwards was meant to failed
❤
Wild to me that you have Tavares as the best signing for that year, because I not only think it was a terrible signing, but one of the worst signings of all time.
That team needed so much help with defense, goaltending, and general depth, so allocating 11mil a year to Tavares did nothing for any of those needs. I firmly believe that signing single handedly took them out of their cup window and essentially tossed away some of the best years of Matthews and Marner's careers.
Tavares has the skill and the strength, but man, does that guy have one of the lowest hockey IQs I have ever seen. He doesn't make the best play, he doesn't make the creative play, he doesn't make the easy play; he makes the first play. Easily some of the most predictable plays I have ever seen every time he touches the puck.
And naming him captain before he even plays a game for the club? How do you expect to win anything when you're being lead by a guy with no vision? Insanity.
First besides bots
RUclips gotta do something about the damn bots lmao
Everyone needs to be honest the Hyman deal was terrible at the time and he's outplayed it im a Leaf fan and im happy he found sucess but nobody can act like when they signed the deal ppl were mad and thought he would be a bust
You don’t have a clue in the world bro lmao. Guy said bust like he was griffin Reinhart or something.
@@Mmm.charmeleon lol you are not too bright i said the signing looked like it was too much for Hyman and that he would be bad for that amount of money but i also said at the time and that im happy he is outplaying his contract
@@alynjenner6605 wasn’t bad at the time kid
@@Mmm.charmeleon LOL everyone was saying how much of a overpay it was and how it would age badly
@@Mmm.charmeleonpeople did think it was rlly bad at the time
Panarin is a regular season merchant and completely disappears when it counts. Almost 12 mil to a non-factor in the postseason is terrible. Even if the rangers barely squeaked into the playoffs, that would be fine without Panarin and they could spend that money on two or three impactful players.
I agree he hasn’t been good enough, but he had a pretty good playoffs. 4 GWG one of the more effective rangers
