Happy Tuesday. Anything happening?
- John Tavares? He’s a great player and a great guy. Former teammates from junior on to last season’s Islanders speak of him with reverence. [NHL]
- There was the usual scuttlebutt — the Leafs will bring out an iPad if they get to pitch him! — on Tavares free agency. Dan updated the Encyclopedia with the latest because he’s a tortured completist. [LHH]
- TSN Insider is among those with the usual, although one previously unreported bit: The Isles tabled an 8 x $80 million offer this spring.
