TERRILL: When the dreams run dry

I’ve been on the bad end of some of the most prolific sports exits in the last decade.

It was Kevin Durant leaving the Thunder for Golden State, and I thought that was as bad as it could get.

Then John Tavares happened. The man strung my Islanders along for months, requesting to not be traded. Then he bolts for Toronto within 24 hours of free agency opening. He left us without a true hope. The joke’s on him, of course; we’ve won six playoff series in the time he has won none.
