The New York Islanders want John Tavares back in their clutches. However, they have to fight with a few other teams in order to snag him, including a team from across the border.
TSN reported that Tavares met with both the Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Islanders on Monday in Los Angeles. However, these are not the only teams that have their eye on the prize when it comes to Tavares.
TSN also reported that Tavares planned to meet with the San Jose Sharks, Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning and Dallas Stars with several other teams earning talks over the phone.
