"the Toronto Maple Leafs back during the summer of 2018, he had only one thing in mind. That was to fulfill his childhood dreams to play for his hometown and lead the Maple Leafs to a Stanley Cup title. Tavares has sure done all he could during the past seven seasons with Toronto, posting three 35+ goals and four 70+ points campaigns while being part of the now-defunct "core four" along with Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander to lead the offensive attack."
"during the 2024-25 NHL season where many had expected his game to drop off a bit as he ages. But instead, Tavares bounced back from a down 2023-24 campaign by posting 38 goals and 36 assists for 74 points in 75 games played, re-establishing his point-per-game production that he had been renowned for throughout his career. In addition, he added another five goals during the Stanley Cup playoffs to help the Leafs reach the second round, but only to fall to the Florida Panthers once again."
John Tavares signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2018 to fulfill his childhood dream of playing for his hometown and winning a Stanley Cup. He produced three 35+ goal seasons and four 70+ point campaigns over seven seasons while forming part of the team's former core alongside Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander. The Leafs reached the playoffs each season with Tavares but failed to advance past the second round. Tavares accepted a team-friendly contract this offseason to preserve Toronto's financial flexibility. In 2024-25 he rebounded with 38 goals and 36 assists for 74 points in 75 games, plus five playoff goals.
