My thoughts exactly. We can pay him his 12 or 13 million that he wants + he'll cash in on sponsorships too. To top it off it is his hometown team. I think he could go for it if Lou turns the charm on. Once the NYI arena is up and running he can sign a new UFA deal. Next season is the last year we'll be competing with Matthews & Marner on their ELC.
Absolutely!
I bet if Limelight Lou says please with a big smile and does a little jig, JT signs right away.
Hell, he may even lower is demands.
Turn that charm on big-guy.
