Monday night, during the Fox Sports Florida broadcast of the Florida Panthers/New York Islanders game, Hall of Fame defenseman and Islanders legend Denis Potvin made an intriguing observation regarding Islanders captain John Tavares‘ pending free agency.
“Many of you remember [Steven] Stamkos a couple of years ago. He went through the same process, went through free agency and signed with the same team. They have the same agent and he talked about that just the other day. So maybe the same process might happen for the Islanders. John Tavares wants to look around the NHL, see what free agency can bring him, and he may just stay with the same team.
