Previously on the John Tavares Free Agency Encyclopedia:
Update: June 12, 2018 Arthur Staple’s notebook at The Athletic gives us an update of sorts on how John Tavares might tackle the free agent talking period, which begins on June 24th. Everything’s up in the air right now, but as usual, it sounds like Tavares will keep things humble.
— As for Tavares, there’s no word yet on how the five-day contact window will work for him, though it doesn’t seem as if Pat Brisson and Tavares’ crew of reps at CAA will line up teams outside their Los Angeles offices, the way Newport Sports did for Steven Stamkos’ brief trip through the contact period two summers ago before he re-signed with the Lightning on June 30, 2016.
