Does playing for your hometown team somehow make you a better player or something?

what is taking so long to get Schwartz signed?
by bleedblue edited by jrutherford 1:21 PM yesterday
It's late July, so it seems like it's taking a long time. But the sides didn't really start talking "in earnest," according to Schwartz's agent Wade Arnott until recently. When Doug Armstrong is building the roster, he has to keep some flexibility entering free agency, so he can do things like sign Paul Stastny. Then, Armstrong turned his attention back to Sobotka. Now that that situation has been resolved, not in a good way, he's dealing with Schwartz. Unfortunately for Schwartz, certain things take priority and with him having little leverage, he hasn't been a big priority until now.

Re: 2014 Free Agent Frenzy Thread
The article below shows how some regular players are still looking for a team. Jeff Halpern could work here if he's not asking too much.
From USA TODAY
NHL regulars still hunting for jobs
PHOENIX - More than $580 million has been spent on NHL free agents nearly a month into the signing period, but not everyone has been able to fill his pockets. There's a crew of players who remain unsigned despite being considered NHL regulars, and three such examples were with the Coyotes last season: forwards Jeff Halpern and Paul Bissonnette and defenseman Derek Morris. This reality — being without a contract on the brink of August — is often dwarfed by the perception that free agency is all about freedom, fortune and fame. But for those who fulfill a specialized role or are in the twilight years of their career, this milepost isn't so glamorous.

Any "NHL regular" who's still unsigned wants too much money.
