Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
His wife is from Ottawa and so is her family, with whom she's super close. EK and her have more than one Ottawa-based charity (one that is brand new) that they have spear-headed. His best friend and mentor is in Ottawa. He has serious ties here.
That really doesn't mean anything. Subban continued to support the Montreal hospital after leaving. Tavares just left a spot where he was basically a god. Now, as a Leaf fan do I want him to leave? Yes. However as a fan of the player who has defended him on here time and time again, and am looking at the situation from his perspective? What reason is there to stay?
- Family of wife
- Ties to community
- Familiarity with franchise
??
Reasons to leave
- Can join a team with an owner willing to spend to win and still get paid
- Can pick a management group that is competent
- Sens will be garbage through his prime years with no first round pick next year
- Can join a team with other star talents so that he has some help to win
I am sure that his wife will have a say but even she must be sour with the organization after the whole drama this offseason.
