He's leaving the Island.

I see his indecision as a sign of him making a change and trying to find the best fit for him to win and make money. I think it is more about picking an organization that has a chance to win, and is also well run. Things weren't great in NYI and bringing in Lou to run the ship was the owner's answer to try and keep the best player they've had since the 80s dynasty.

I think the only thing he has decided is to move on and he is taking his time to ensure he picks the right place. He doesn't want to go to a place that will struggle to build around it's top players like NYI has done.

Sure the ownership has changed, and they've brought in somebody to clean house in the hockey ops and turn the franchise into a well run organization, but I think it was too little too late to sell NYI to Tavares.

He's leaving town.
