yup, that's why I said it's dependent on them re-signing this summer. I wouldn't give them a letter with a year left on their contract ... same goes for Tanev, who in general I wouldn't mind wearing a letter either.

plus he clearly wanted to come in and be the face of the franchise. I'd imagine a fresh start under a new regime and on the backheel of a terrible season, it's going to be an easier situation for him.
