I personally think that he needed Gio to leave so he could fill the void, and he has done so very admirably.
I give it 70/30, and I would have had it reversed last season. The lack of new arena deal is the pall, but his fiance moving here to work nursing is extremely encouraging. I think some playoff wins would seal the deal.

I think the “C” for extension should be focused squarely on Tkachuk who we all know wants to be the captain and has worn a letter for many years here. I don’t think a letter means much to Johnny but I could be wrong
