I heard the Sens offered a deal worth $20M, not sure if the terms were disclosed, if yes, I missed that part. He obviously wanted more..

I’ll guess it was the same AAV; 4 years x $5M.

Good for him, but that's too much.

Confirmed teams that John Tavares will meet with this week at CAA offices in L.A.: Dallas, Boston, San Jose, Toronto, Tampa (plus of course NYI). The Tavares camp will also have conversations with 2-3 other teams over the phone and perhaps also meet with 1-2 of them. - Pierre Lebrun

The NYI have reportedly set the bar for Tavares = 8yrs/88M

Interesting.

He’a going to be a very, very rich man if he goes to FA and a bidding war starts. How often is an elite #1C on the open market?

The Islanders might have suffered a big injury as captain John Tavares left the game late in the third period. Tavares fell awkwardly with 3:14 left while chasing a puck behind the Devils net, and immediately began clutching his left leg. He was helped off - TSN
