Like a list of LA, Dallas, Vegas, Tampa, Florida and whoever else. They'll pay him a fair 8x8 or whatever guranteed right now. What's the advantage of holding out? If he has a bad year he's going to cost himself ALOT of money and potentionally end up in a worse location
Hes never going to have more leverage then he does now.

How long until the teams you mentioned realize every FA wants to come to their team. Once they realize this then the $8M offers turn into $6M offers, and if players continue wanting to go then it will be $5M offers.
The owners of those teams aren't morons, yes some are overpaying (Vegas right now) but both Florida and Tampa have started lowering the amounts they will pay. Andersson may get a surprise next summer when Vegas offers 6 yrs x $6M no matter how good he plays this year.
