John Tavares apparently hasn't begun whittling down his list of potential destinations just yet.
The superstar's camp has not notified any of the six teams in the hunt either way, and is still deliberating on the decision, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports.
Tavares previously narrowed the field down to the Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars, New York Islanders, San Jose Sharks, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
If he opts to return to the Islanders, he could sign an eight-year contract, but that would have to be completed before Saturday at midnight, after which point he can only sign a seven-year pact with any club.
