Seriously, what happened? All that talk about hiring a Prez of Hockey Ops and then..nothing?! How does he show his face to season ticket holders?! (are there any left? I gave up my tickets) How do they NOT all show up pissed at the ticketholder events?

Then they won a 2 or 3 games and he lit up twitter. Calling out fans to show up. Then went right back into hiding. Losers, man.

I believe Snow is to blame because he hasn't gotten that big name guy to take some of the pressure off JT. If we get someone like Duschene, then I believe JT resigns. Eberle? I don't think he's enough. IMHO

If he wants to chase a cup, he's already gone in his head. No cup will be had here as long as Snowsense is here.

Snow's to blame for everything. 3 goalies, poor 1st round picks, the handling of Halak, lack of bringing in a winger for JT. The list goes on & on. That said, he can't be blamed for the arena situation. Or can he? let me work on that.

Snow will not be to blame if he leaves....lol.

NY owners and politicians that can't get an arena built will be. This has been going on forever.... Lighthouse Project!!!!

The team is the going in the right direction.

Tavares just wants stability...

If he leaves.... Montreal will have a real shot at him.

Exactly. It's not Snow's fault this team has sucked or at best been mediocre in 11 years of rebuilding. Gotcha.

Nothing is ever Snow's fault he's awesome!

He can't be blamed for it. Which is why it will be his biggest excuse if JT walks.

Exactly. "Wasn't my fault he walked. The owners & politicians couldn't get a deal done quick enough. My hands were tied".

Been pretty nice here all summer actually. Except today its pouring.

Normally our humidity is in the teens. This year, it's been up over 50% .Some days over 80%. Couple that with 100+degrees and it makes for a miserable day. And yes, i saw what you did there.

JT is about 95% signing with Isles. Also he is being advised by is agent. with Draisetl (sp) signing for 8.5MM per year, you can sure bet Tavares price tag keeps going up.
Only team if fear him leaving for would be a Montreal that could offer some ridiculously stupid contract as they lack a #1. but silly I mean 13MM per year. In that case we may be screwed.

That said, Tavares likes it here and he will resign, He wants to be finish what he started here, he doesn't want to the #2 guy on some other team. he wants to be the man,

So the reason he hasn't signed yet ( Said by JT himself ) is there is no stability on where the organization will be playing in 2 years and also the state of the franchise as far as moving in the right direction so that JT can honestly compete for the cup with this team and that, is the 5% that is keeping him from Signing?

I'ld love to know what reasons make up the other 95% thats making him stay.
