The longer this has gone the more it seemed like that is the case he probably wants to see what the culture is now with the dark cloud punted and not just committing to a 8 year deal and things don't seem better too him.
Savards comment kind of hinted at that as well. We want to create a culture and environment for guys that they don't want to leave the rink and end up staying.
Part 1 is done now its up to the new group to change the perception and culture outside and inside the organization that they treat players better and a place for young players to be as well. You can't do that without a single game being played yet.
