He acted as his own agent remember, so he took time listening to all offers.
He confirmed Nashville when Friedman not so subtly asked directly. He had a lot of interested teams but took the best opportunity knowing that it could set him up for a big contract this summer.

Duclair said he was seriously considering 4-5 teams, but in a 56 game season it was always 1 or 2 year deals being offered, and he wasn't interested in the money as much as a good fit. He was familiar with Zito from CBJ, and Quenneville in CHI.
