Maple Leafs ei ole ainakaan tietoisesti mukana Tavares-kisassa.
Leafs siis hakee todennäköisesti veteraanipelaajia, jotka auttavat joukkueen idän 9. sijalle. Se olisi tietenkin eteenpäinmenoa ja hyväksi organisaatiolle."Whoever gets the first pick next year is not getting a [Sidney] Crosby or an [Alex] Ovechkin or [an Evgeni] Malkin or even a Staal," Fletcher said. "You're not getting that. You're going to get a good player, but you're not getting a franchise player next year.
"If you asked 100 scouts who is going to have a better NHL career between [Steve] Stamkos and [John] Tavares, you're probably going to have 95 say Stamkos. That's the reality we're dealing with."
