And that's the other thing. This team needs to make changes. Monahan is off the table more than likely. So if you want to make a core change Johnny is one of a couple that could bring back something of real value.
This is the biggest decision of BT's tenure (assuming he's staying). It has to be the right call.

He could have said what Tkachuk said which was "No". He didn't have to say he wanted to play there and bring a SC back to Calgary in the future.
