Of course they will. I don't see it the same though, Tavares went from an Islanders team that was bad at the time and had been for awhile to a Leafs team whose contention windows was starting to open. The Flyers are the exact opposite. He isn't winning jack there. The Devil's have stated they need to get bigger, they have plenty of small skilled players. The Islanders? They would be hard pressed to make it work cap wise as shown by the Athletic article. Even if Gaudreau takes a look at free agency the best fit will still be here. Unless it was never about being close to home and he signs with a West team but I don't think that would ever happen.
