John Tavares is a Mi si sauga native, but the 27-year-old, who was selected No. 1 overall by the New York Islanders in the 2009 NHL Draft, has spent the entirety of his pro career playing for the franchise.So it stands reason Tavares has grown accustom and partial to the local culinary offerings the New York area has to offer. One enterprising eatery owner is hoping to maybe play to Tavares' taste buds Carl Soderberg Jersey in an attempt to keep him in New York long term.Tavares is set to become an unrestricted free agent come July 1 if he does not re-sign with the Islanders. The pitches to woo Tavares out of New York will begin Monday, when the biggest could-be free agent in recent memory , Blake Comeau Jersey the exact group not consistently reported. (Among those it seems most likely include the Toronto Maple Leafs, San Jose Sharks, and Dallas Stars, though more recently, the Boston Bruins , the Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning.)Islanders' offseason to-do list: So where does food come in? Enter Donald Rosner, the owner of a local chain, Bagel Bo s. Some say it's in the water, but when it comes to its bagel offerings (competitivene s of the local hockey roster notwithstanding) teams will be hard-pre sed to match what New York brings.AndifTavares values such criteria, there's good news for the Islanders and their fans: Rosner has just thrown a lot of dough at Tavares to sweeten the offer.UPDATE.... will be sending fresh bagels to while hes at his meetings. Straight to Pat Bri sons office in LA. This is not a joke. He'll receive them Tuesday morning. donald rosner (@donaldrosner) The majority of Bagel Bo Rob Ramage Jersey s' New York locations are on Long Island, which would work out well logistically in terms of making a Tavares delivery, with the Islanders set to move back out of the city once their new arena at Belmont is finished. As for how those bagels will find their way to Los Angeles in time to greet Tavares and his Rene Bourque Jersey camp when his free agency summit opens, never underestimate the creativity of a desperate hockey fan.Free agency season can often bring with it these types of local pushes, so expect Legal Seafood in Boston to offer Tavares free clam chowder for life, and for Pecan Lodge in Dallas to link Tavares to the Stars with a lifetime supply of sausages. (While the Capitals just and have never reportedly been in the mix for Tavares, one would a sume that Jarome Iginla Jersey Mamma Lucia's would provide Tavares with should he take a ridiculous discount to join the defending Stanley Cup champs.) we got shirts! donald rosner (@donaldrosner) The big unanswered question in this carbohydrate come-home package is what schmear is offered in this deal. Does Tavares have his pick of cream cheeses? Does that get decided in some performance bagel bonus clause? Probably questions Tavares is asking (or not) before coming to a final decision.
