Montreal has one great attraction for Tavares: the best wing to center talent ratio of any team in recent memory. Pacioretty, Drouin, Gallagher, Lehkonen, and Domi could each be a top six winger on any team next year. Pacioretty, Drouin, an Gallagher could each play top line with most teams, and Domi's pretty close, and should be improving. Their goaltending is solid, and I think this build is right that the're one top four defenseman and one proven top center away from contending. If exchange rates figure into people's decision of where to plan a weekend camping trip, then they absolutely could figure into where someone wants to spend eight years on a fixed income of only 11 million dollars per year.... but I think if the money's about the same, then he has to compare hockey life and life away from hockey. Montreal's a beautiful city with a great hockey tradition, whose hockey team was almost as good last year without Tavares as the Islanders were with Tavares, so if they can fix their defense they could certainly be a reasonable landing spot. Good luck!
