The goal for the New York Islanders this season is to improve on last year’s second round exit from the Stanley Cup playoffs. And captain John Tavares will have a big say on whether or not the Islanders meet that goal.
So rather than focus on the New York Islanders and even Team Canada, who he is representing at the World Cup of Hockey in Toronto, Tavares is getting questions about his contract.
In an interview leading up to the World Cup of Hockey Tavares was asked by the Toronto Sun if he understood why Torontonians wanted him to wear the blue and white maple leaf.
