His demeanor on the ice doesn't look like a guy leaving.
The fact he wasn't signed or traded leads me to believe he and the team know where this is going.

I almost went with 75%
You can add in the fact that Blake Coleman signed here after talking with Johnny Hockey. I agree with many of the points you raise, but you have to look at what happens with the market opens and the confounding factors that is going to raise. I'm also concerned what impact the new failure of the event center is going to have as well. I'm with Tranny and see this as 50-50. Could go either way. Treliving should have had this hammered out in the summer instead of being on safari big game hunting.
