Who will sacrifice their season next year to get John Tavares?

Question

Toronot Maple Leafs should lose in order to better their chances lol

Answer 1

Looks like the LA, TOR, ATL, St Louis have a corner on the market as of today.

Answer 2

No worries. The Islanders will suck all on their own, then trade that #1 overall pick to Toronto for Bryan McCabe and the Leafs' 1st round pick in 2112.

Answer 3

No team would purposely loose and even if they did it wouldn't guarantee them the pick because of the lottery.  I'd say Edmonton, Toronto, LA, Atlanta, and Florida probably have the best chances at him

Answer 4

Nothing is garunteed but seriously, Kovalchuck cant win by himself, he couldnt even win with hossa

Answer 5

Atlanta, LA, the Leafs and the Isles are in hot contention for that pick this year...

Answer 6

All the other teams mentioned seem to think they have a shot, but we (the Leafs) have Brian McCabe on our side.

HA !!!!

Answer 7

My guess is he'll be in L.A. The Kings are having trouble just getting people to sign with them. They lack a legit starting goalie(God, I hope they take Khabibulin off Chicagos' hands), and have traded away some good vets. It's basically Kopitar vs. the NHL. Plus, I hear Tavares is a hotdog and a cocky prick so he'll fit right in.

Answer 8

If Ottawa has a season like they finished last season...they are the front runners!!

Answer 9

The leafs are a good bet because they stink and they need a good local boy to give the fans some real hope. Unfortunately, Tavares may be too slow to really be the franchise savior the leafs really need.

Answer 10

The Kings, I don't think they will "sacrifice" so to speak ...I think they will just get it.

Answer 11

probably the kings or thrashers cuz they will finish last in there conferences.

Answer 12

leafs, Atlanta and LA STL

Answer 13

it would be sweet if atlanta got a skilled center to play with kolvokych
