I try to ignore the John Tavares talk as much as possible.
The Stars pursuing Tavares seems like something I would do: moderately irrational #yolohockey roster management.
It isn't often that you have players as good as Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, John Klingberg, and Alexander Radulov to build around so you better go for it, the thinking goes. Adding Tavares to that group sounds like pie-in-the-sky nonsense that I would dream up while saying to hell with the future, win now.
And yet...
Is John Tavares going to sign with the Islanders in the next few days ?
