I am on the fence on this, just remembering the chemistry he had with Monahan early last year. I think it could go either way and almost exactly mirrors the scenario that played out with his Swiss countryman Nino Niederreiter as it pertains to the Islanders and now Minnesota. I think it was a tough decision for BT but that's why they get payed the big bucks. Nino is a big guy and was always ranked higher but that example shows how a player can react quite positively to new surroundings and a second chance.
