Report: Tavares may already have chosen his new team!

New York Islanders captain John Tavares is not a free agent, yet, but he may already have a plan in mind if it comes to it.

The Isles are heading into the new season with Tavares set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer as both sides haven’t come to an agreement on signing an extension.

If it remains as is, the 26-year-old will hit the market next July, and every rival team will want to bring him into the fold.

As reported by NBC’s Pierre McGuire, Tavares may already have a team in mind for where he’d like to play.

The forward would choose the Buffalo Sabres, over the Montreal Canadiens, a team he has been linked to several time since the start of speculations…

Can you picture Tavares in a Sabres uniform, next to Jack Eichel?
