Report: Tavares narrows decision down to 6 teams

There is a bit more clarity to the John Tavares free-agency sweepstakes.

The pending unrestricted free agent has already spoken to the New York Islanders, Toronto Maple Leafs, San Jose Sharks, and Boston Bruins, and on Wednesday will speak to representatives from the Tampa Bay Lightning and Dallas Stars. Outside of those six, Tavares' reps have no plans to speak to any other teams, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

This latest news comes after it was originally reported that Tavares would take additional calls from two to three other clubs, possibly meeting with one or two of them in person.
