If John Tavares Were To Stay, His Next Contract Would Be Shorter and For Less Money.
TSN Hockey Analyst Frankie Corrado was on SportsCenter with Jay Onrait and asked, followed up by asking if a short-term deal would work best for John Tavares in Toronto or if cutting bait is the best route here.
Jay Onrait: “Do you, I guess, just to follow up on that, Frankie, he’s got a young family. He seems comfortable here. It is his hometown. It seems would you be happy at $6 million for three years with John Tavares at age 35 going forward to age 38?”
Frankie Corrado: “I would, Jay, to be honest with you, I would, I would probably try and squeeze a little bit more. Like if it means that much to you and we know that it hasn’t really worked here because the team hasn’t been able to get it done. Yeah, it’s like there’s probably going to be a different role waiting for you. And it would have to be less money.
