I guess this is the thread?
Look, unless you know for sure you aren't signing him, and as adults in the room they should know this, 100% sign him, it's an easy question. All this speculation that he wants to leave? Man, it's just insecurity, and emotion, and you can't do business that way. Which they aren't, it's all just fan emotions, we are all just guessing based on internet crap. I would suppose this is done in the next month, it can't hang over the team right? I agree with that.
But throw the kitchen sink if need be. He's an elite #1C, really really elite. He's step 1, same as 7 years ago. Everything else, unless its signing 1999 Dominik Haesk, comes after, figure it out after that. Don't lose him.
