In Toronto, John Tavares has demonstrated his commitment through his new contract, securing a significant victory for his local team.
While many Maple Leafs players express affection for the city and dedication to the team, it`s rare to see a star willingly forgo a substantial amount of money, as Tavares did on Friday. This move aims to support the team`s goal of winning and provide the management with crucial salary cap flexibility.
Just four days before becoming a free agent, the 67th highest scorer in NHL history agreed to a four-year extension featuring a team-friendly annual cap hit of $4.38 million.
Maple Leafs General Manager Brad Treliving might well consider June 27th a day akin to Black Friday.
Such an advantageous deal is one you seize immediately, followed by celebration.
