Top NHL free agent John Tavares could make a decision today, one that will go a long way toward answering where he will continue his prolific career.
The centerman is the best free agent to hit the market in decades and the Islanders are doing everything they can to keep him around, reportedly extending him a contract offer worth $88 million over 8 years. But after Saturday, June 30, they lose the advantage of that eighth year under the terms of the NHL's collective bargaining agreement.
It's possible he informs New York's management sometime on Friday.
