Always loved Kovy. Character guy. Left approximately 80 mill on table because he wanted to go play in his home country and advance the game there.
If a player left a couple of million on the table to come back to Canada he'd be considered a national treasure by TSN and CBC.
Heck players barely come back to Canada at market price. Tavares is the only superstar who did that. I had been saying for years on these forums that Tavares would go to Leafs as UFA.
