NHL Shockwave: How Brock Nelson’s Extension Could Reshape John Tavares’ Future!
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Host: “Do you think this Nelson deal again, three years, 7.5 million per. He’s a year younger than Tavares. Does that affect anything with regards to how Tavares looks at this free agency.”
Johnson: “It’s a really good point, because Tavares had a better year by a mile than Brock Nelson. Tavares had a better career than Brock Nelson. Tavares has been consistently better the last few years than Brock Nelson.
Tavares will not be offered the same contract that Brock Nelson was offered. And so to try to convince John Tavares that we just, you know, we want to give you three years at four and a half or five, the only way you can get that deal done is if he’s willing to just say, I’m taking a massive discount because I want to play in Toronto.
