I don't think even JT knows what he's doing one way or another at this point, outside of maybe deciding that he's going to the "Courting Window" no matter what.
At that point he can gauge the interest, see what is available, and then still get an 8 year contract from the Islanders.
He holds all the leverage here - what is Lou going to say "Go to the courting window and I'll never offer you a contract here again!" - no chance that happens so Tavares might as well wait and see what's there on
