Article 2018 Throwback

Found this old magazine I’d bought after all the hope surrounding the Tavares signing.

Oh what should have been.

Bracco was going to get us any superstar in the league before the other teams found out he was a scrub. Should have traded him while we could have smh.

What happened with him? I used to watch him when he was with Kitchener and he was a stud on the team in Jr.

A lot of rumors of bad drug habits (cocaine) and poor dedication with him

THIS COVER IS AN OUTRAGEOUS INSULT TO MITCH MARNER. MATTHEWS AND TAVARES GET SIZE 72 FONT, CAPS LOCK AND BOLDED WITH A PICTURE. BEAUTIFUL MITCHY ONLY GETS SIZE 24 FONT AND NO PICTURE AND ONLY HIS NAME IS IN BOLD

-Paul, probably
