Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Darcy Tucker believes John Tavares should just embrace the pressure of playing in Toronto.August 14, 2018 | 11:39 AM

"These chances don't come around very often and they don't last for very long, as we can attest to as retired players," Tucker said. "Have fun with it. Anytime you are in a market like Toronto, there's always going to be pressure. But you've got to have some fun with it and enjoy it." Tavares decided to join the Leafs once he hit the free-agent market, so he's clearly already embraced this move to a hockey-mad city. The 27-year-old had 37 goals and 47 assists in 82 games with the Isles last season. He'll be just fine in his new hockey home.
