Not if you’re weighing the rumoured wife thing heavily.
Money wise, if you consider how much he ends up with in his pockets, there are not 29 other teams. Of the more favorable tax locations, who has the space or ice to warrant the cost? Florida? No. Tampa? Possibly . Dallas? Don’t know. Vegas? Most likely.
The other thing taking teams off the list is his buddy being available the following year.
While it’s all speculation on what is driving his decision, (wife, money, lifestyle, winning), in the end, when a guy signs long term, winning is at the bottom of that list.
