That gargling sound you heard was Brian Burke and his lap dogs in the Toronto media choking on each other's balls after this news.
This would be great for the franchise. While the Grabner and Okposo signings were nice moves for the continued rebuild, locking Tavares up is vital to the organization. It sends a message this young, and talented group will be together.
Tavares seems to be a relly good kid. He has said all the right things, and wants to be here and be the face of the franchise.
I can't wait for Strome to develop. Tavares and Strome will be centering the top 2 lines for a long time. That is going to be fun. Maybe the black cloud over the Islanders is moving somewhere else, hopefully Toronto.
I guess I will get the requisite response from Moose and SJUFAN2.
