Jeebus, must every obvious opinion be preceded by “IMO”? Obviously I don’t know it. But the number of IFAs that go to someone other than the highest bidder is extremely small. Even a guy like Stone who really wanted to come back to Calgary didn’t take a discount.

In my opinion UFAs like Tavares become UFAs to test the market. Having done so they take the money. Other factors are secondary and (IMO again) the main one is lifestyle for a guy like Tavares or most other vets. Picking a cup winner is too much of a crapshoot (ask Iginla).
