New York Islanders - Fantasy News
There are really three possible scenarios for Tavares this summer. First, he could re-sign with the Islanders. Second, the Islanders could trade his rights to a team that believes it can sign him to a long term contract. This could net the Isles a mid-round pick and/or less than prized prospects. Last, New York could perform a sign and trade. This is usually done in the NBA but could work for the Isles if they can't re-sign Tavares and he comes to an agreement with another team. The reason this could be attractive to another team is that the Isles can sign Tavares to an eight-year contract whereas any other team can only offer him a seven-year deal. Any way you look at it, Tavares, who finished this past season with 37 goals and 84 points, is going to command a huge contract in both term and salary with whichever team he agrees to sign with.
