I’m torn. I’m just not the biggest fan of the guy. Some thought he was going to be drastically overpaid, I’m glad he only got what he was worth at face value. This wasn’t a bargain, it’s what we owe his offensive stats.
I think we’re seeing the best of what he has, I don’t see a higher level so we’re paying him to maintain what he is. I’m glad it’s only five, if there’s one thing I would fight for in the next cba it would be for five year limits on term.
We needed to keep the remaining skill we have so much of the downside I feel for this is attached to the previous moves that made this a necessity. I just hope he continues to show a desire to be a better player and fights for his ice time. I don’t want Aho having a lesser linemate than he could’ve because the only way we could get value out of TT was playing him with Aho.
I liked the nice play he made last night, but TT to me has been a professional passenger. I’m glad he’s signed and that part is over. I’m really curious to see how this all plays out, it will be an interesting month.
