The Toronto Maple Leafs signed John Tavares to what was, at the time, the most expensive and best player to ever hit unrestricted free-agency in the NHL’s modern era.
The Toronto Maple Leafs made John Tavares their captain and he scored a career high 47 games in his debut season in the blue and white.
Tavares has played 286 career games for the Leafs, and has 281 points.
Those are impressive numbers, especially since Tavares plays on the second line and is not the Leafs first or second option on the power-play.
John Tavares has been worth every penny the Leafs signed him for, and more.
