I wonder about whether or not the 4 nations had any effect on him; Mavi wasn’t great, had to take a regular shift, and wasn’t guaranteed ice time. Still an elite player, but one of a few instead of one of one. And described it as an amazing team experience. I’m not sure if he has ever won anything like a team trophy as an adult. (Hehheh we know the answer as a pro!)
Wouldn’t a Tampa or Florida or Carolina with great taxes and weather and being a part of the greater good be appealing? Or maybe his ego won’t let him.
