It wasn't KD that set that rule - Guentzel and his agent did. I suspect they really want to see what the market brings. Also truly opens up the possibility of him coming back here in the summer. I suspect his wife probably really doesn't want to move. I've read that they really love it here.

This smells a bit like listening to Ben Cherington talk about the need to rebuild the prospect pool from the bottom up. Maybe KD met with him for some pointers?

It really depends. I have a friend who visited with the intention of moving there and he hated it.

Not knocking the city at all. Depends on the person really. I think she's from PGH - not sure how much she wants to stay by family. My wife is a nut about that - would never let us move out of this town. I'm also not a millionaire hockey player, so there's that. :)
