He won't go anywhere, but if he does it won't be a big deal. He could ring chase on a nice one or two year deal and still be considered the greatest Capital ever, and go to the HOF as a Capital (I know that's not a thing in hockey but you know what I mean).

EDIT: Just FYI this is me hoping maybe Ovi would come to NYI on a solid one or two year deal to win another Cup with Trotz. But I know the chances of that happening are slim at best.
