keep drinking that kool-aidYou're assuming hes looking with any logic what so ever
I kind of think the fix is in at this point though. You would think Lou (and to a larger degree Trotz himself) aren't going to be there if they didn't have a pretty good idea JT would be. I think JT's just going to do his dog and pony show to meet with the five teams he wants to meet with then come back, unless someone does something insane like offer a 7 year max money contract or he has a particular location in mind. And we know Lou's a win-now GM so he's gonna do his darndest to flip at least one of the Isles' first rounders for an immediate upgrade tomorrow.
But yes it would be one hilarious troll if JT left anyway. The optomism baloon would pop faster than you could snap your fingers.
the point is you don't let your players get to the point of entertaining those "albatross" contracts. if you don't think you can sign them then you move them (kinda like what cbj is rumored to be doing now). also its pretty remarkable how many players and coaches on this team have left to go play for "home/family". i'm asking honestly cause i don't know but does that happen often in the nhl?
Just when I thought NYb was about to enter another Dark Age, Lou comes in and turns it all around
Easier said than done. See Erik Karlsson. See JT. etc...
It is much, much, much too early to speak in absolutes about Lou’s “tenure” there.
Personally, I’ll believe it when I see it. I have a hard time seeing them putting out a better team next year than they did this year, and this year they utterly flopped.

I don't recall DD saying it but I do know there were grumblings about it as far back as the first round and a bit earlier that Trotz was on the outs almost no matter what.
Wingers seem to be in a holding pattern based off where Kovy goes, at least when it comes to skinner, same 5-6 teams looking at wingsI have a feeling tomorrow is going to be wild trade wise. With Tavares seemingly off the table and the names being shopped it could get interesting.
Anyone who thought we had a realistic shot to grab Tavares was out to lunch.
get outta here gross
So with JT pretty much gone, San Jose going to go all in on the Russian merc?
it’s just as plausible that talks are “heating up” because they’d trade his rights for picks by tomorrow if he doesn’t want to resign.
i think there’s a better chance he stays now with these moves, but i haven’t seen anything he’s done other than spit out the token soundbite of the noncommittal “id like to stay here” line that every free agent says
