Has Columbus ever landed a big UFA before? This is bonkers.

The first two that come to mind, and this is with an extremely loose definition of big UFA, are Adam Foote and Nathan Horton.

So not really, no.

There have been some notable names who have been acquired and wanted to stay and didn't, for various reasons. Ray Whitney (Doug MacLean incompetence) and Marian Gaborik (ill-advised trade) stick out.

E- Fun fact- Foote was signed because there was a trade on the table for Chris Pronger and MacLean backed out. The player Dougie didn't want to move? Alexandre Picard.

Devils and Isles are sad poverty franchises nobody likes and the Flyers are one of the most incompetently run teams in the league. Even if that Johnny Hockey contract turns sour (not that I think it will) and even tho it still makes the Metro tougher, I’m so happy right now lol

Avoiding Ruff, Lou, Torts, and getting away from Sutter might be the most plausible explanation yet.

One of the worst cases of coach carousel because his tenure with NYR right before he got hired was pretty disastrous. I mean almost anyone would be a better choice.

Easy to say now. I don't think Fitzgerald anticipated this outcome, the Devils could have outbid anybody got Gaudreau.

It’s a pretty good place to live if you have/want to start a young family. And the city has a leading pediatric hospital with significant connection to the team so his wife can still do what she loves.

Agreed. It's a nice area, relatively affordable (Intel may change that), and easy to get around/to/through. Players have raved about the area and many of them already have (Rick Nash, Derek Dorsett, Jared Boll, Fredrik Modin, Brandon Dubinsky, Jody Shelley, JLGP, Mark Letestu) or have said they will (Nick Foligno, Cam Atkinson) plant(ed) roots there when their playing days are over. It's just never had enough flash for the big names to stay. (Until now. :aaa:)

And yeah, Foligno gave Children's $500k after they saved his daughter with the heart condition.

e- Jake Voracek laughing at him in the second clip. Now they're teammates. :allears:
