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
I honestly think he's done with them. He wants to win IMO, and the Isles were an 80 point team with him. He knows when he goes to free agency he is going to get a pile of money and be able to choose from at least a handful of 95+ point teams, and maybe even a couple 100+ point teams that are going to be that much better when he joins them.

Cripes, a bunch of folks think the Preds might go after him, and they won the President's trophy, and then use Turris or Johansen as trade bait if they get him.
