Unless you are French Canadian, ie Chris Boucher or Russell Martin, no TO sports star is going to work in Montreal. Also I can’t see Henry wanting/needing a high maintenance 33 year old in the room. Seba is a finishing piece for a contender.
Ciman commutes from Montreal and Seba could commute between TO and NY.
The NY teams general failure to recruit from Serie A (Pirlo was a weird exception, he was practically in a wheelchair) is baffling. There are something like 2M Italian Americans in NY area, it's the third biggest Italian City in the world. Those teams' execs need to watch the Cosmos movie about Chinaglia.
I personally would bring him back as a DP for 2 years on $3 or 4M, but I do see this as a very tough call.
