Personally I would trade Tavares if I was in your shoes... And the team in my sig was there about 4 years ago. But you would need to get vastly more value than that, and at least 1-2 fairly safe bets like a Hodgson or Evander Kane along with blue choppers like Kuznetsov or Huberdeau type players... And 1st rounders are always nice.

But I would agree to TRY to ship off older lesser assets first, as their expiry date is sooner, and Tavares value could still potentially go up.
