Please don't take this as a personal attack. The dude has 3 rings, all as Captain. He captained a Cup team where Patrick Sharp was working Duncan Keith's wife like a full time job. Conn Smythe, Selke winner, and still has something to prove. IF IT LOOKS GOOD AND THE DOCS ARE CONVINCED, why wouldn't you? I'd want somebody with that kind of fire, and that short of a contract. Rumor mill has Colorado, Winnipeg, and Tampa as most likely. I don't get Colorado. If bouncing back from respiratory issues, why sign in the thin air of Denver?

Your body adapts to the altitude, right? Endurance athletes specifically train in Colorado for that advantage. It’s basically free doping. So he could adapt to the thin air there and then breathe easier with additional red blood cells for his 41 away games.

I’m not a doctor though so maybe I’m not thinking about it right but that’s how I think it works anyway.
