I expect a full-court press from the Sharks to get him re-signed, and their batting average is pretty good. Plus, as someone who travels to Palo Alto a lot for work, if you're a multi-millionaire, there aren't many better places to live.
But maybe Alfie's whispering in his ear about that upcoming ownership change!! Hold out for that 1% chance!!
Meh, the Palo Alto area has nice weather but I found it incredibly dull. Ottawa has far more things to do, and that's saying something. Sure San Francisco is just down the road, but so is Montreal from here.
Playing for a competent team with competent ownership however...that's the real ace in the hole for the Sharks.
