As November is coming to a close Michael Hutchinson Jersey , John Tavares has yet to sign an extension with the New York Islanders. As every month continues to pass, the likelihood of Tavares staying a member of the Islanders will keep on decreasing and he very well could end up traded. For those of you who are not aware, John Tavares is an unrestricted free agent this season and will receive one of the biggest contracts of this decade. The Islanders need to figure out what to do with their franchise player because at the end of the day, they know they cannot lose him for nothing. That would be extremely detrimental for them and would inevitably lead them to another rebuild.

With that said, in this article, we will be looking at eight teams who are in the running to acquire John Tavares and seven who have no chance. It is important to note that (for the purpose of this article) we will be looking at scenarios if Tavares decides not to resign with the Islanders. Also, Tavares most likely will be going to a team that he knows either has a bright future or a contending team that is heading in the right direction. Tavares is still young enough to be at the top of the league, but like all professional hockey players John Carlson Jersey , he wants to someday win the Stanley Cup. That may never happen for him as a member of the New York Islanders.

Nonetheless, let’s take a look at where Tavares may end up and where he definitely won’t be playing.

There's no doubt halfback Saquon Barkley is the most-hyped rookie to join the New York Giants since future Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor donned the blue in 1981.

Within weeks of being taken second overall in the draft, the likable 21-year-old from Penn State had the hottest-selling jersey in the NFL. Seemingly half the kids wearing jerseys at training camp had his No. 26 look.

When he touched the ball in camp, there were 'oohs and aahs' from the fans, and visions of him going to the house in the regular season to help revive a franchise that went 3-13 last season, the second-worst record in the league.

Dream time is over. With the season opener at home against 2017 AFC runner-up Jacksonville on Sunday, it's time for Barkley to live up to the hype, just as Taylor did after also being taken with the No. 2 overall pick.

"I just want to play Womens Charlie McAvoy Jersey ," Barkley said after a short practice Monday. "It's finally here. The season is finally here. I didn't get to play as much as I would like in the preseason, but now it's here and it counts now, so I am just excited to get on the road. You can tell, the energy of the team is high and we're all just excited for this game and this season."

Barkley had four carries in the preseason for 43 yards. The number was originally reported as five after the first preseason game against Cleveland, but an official review silently changed it.

It stayed at four after Barkley slightly strained a hamstring on Aug. 13 and didn't play in the final three preseason games. It was a precautionary move.

"The one week I didn't get that much practice, but after that I was back on my normal schedule," he said. "I feel pretty confident and I feel pretty good. I just have to continue to attack practice and get better.

For the next week, Barkley plans to immerse himself in watching videotapes of the Jaguars' defense Alexander Kerfoot Jersey , a group that last season was the best in franchise history and is loaded with Pro Bowl players.

Barkley has set some personal goals, but he hopes to focus on his next play.

"I'm not a numbers type of guy who says I need this many yards, this many touchdowns," Barkley said. "My goal is to attack every single day and get better every single day. The rest of the stuff will take care of itself."

Barkley isn't sure how many tickets he will need for his NFL debut. His parents and his family are coming to MetLife Stadium and, of course, there might be some surprise visitors he needs to accommodate.

New coach Pat Shurmur caught Barkley off-guard when he talked about the return game Monday. The Giants waived returners Kalif Raymond and Hunter Sharp over the weekend and were awarded Kaelin Clay on waivers. Clay has handled return work in games and would seem to be the best option Sunday.

If they are ready, Shurmur said that Odell Beckham Jr. and Barkley would be options. He did not mention Cody Latimer, who also has experience as a returner.

"I'll be eager to definitely be in the mix of kickoff return. I did it in college Authentic Teuvo Teravainen Jersey ," said Barkley, who returned two kickoffs for touchdowns last season. "I was able to help my team out in college in that area. If they, or if I show that I'm capable of doing that for the Giants, why not? It's definitely something I feel comfortable with."

Don't count on it this early in the season.

NOTES: LB Olivier Vernon (ankle) did not practice Monday. Shurmur hopes to have him back Wednesday. ... TE Evan Engram was on the field but remains in the concussion protocol. ... With Davis Webb being cut, Shurmur would not say who is No. 2 behind QB Eli Manning. He hinted it might be Alex Tanney instead of rookie Kyle Lauletta because he likes have a veteran behind the starter.
