I'd ask him but he won't return my phone calls! - obie
No need, it was rhetorical. I also noticed the author mentioned that he loves Montreal. I'd give it more credence to the whole notion if there was a quote backing that up.

I did notice that too... And to kinda answer your question, why would anyone? Why would Price resign from 8 years if it was so horrible? Why would Weber agree to go? Why would Petry pass up FA after only spending a few months there? Why did Alzner? Why did Kovalev love it so much?
And I understand that most those guys are not of his caliber but they still need to pay taxes, deal with the winters and answer to the media scrutiny!

Amen!!! I don’t understand why everyone has such a hate on for Montreal. Must be just jealous that we have the best goalie in the world!
I don't buy it. All of us want to believe it, but why would he want the pressure, high taxes, and cold winter? - apex123
This is about the only thing I see being an issue. Sign in MTL and you have just signed up to be the savior. People wont hold Pacioretty, Price, Weber or Drouin to the standard Tavares would be held. He could make the team dangerous but it would be a fairly poor move for him when other teams could offer him all the same crap with half the pressure.
Edit*
That said, winning in MTL or TOR would be the biggest boon to any legacy ever. TOR just cant afford him, so MTL has the edge if he is a glass half full type of person.
