Its not odd that they are taking their time to make a big career decision, but the poster suggested that seeing what Conroy and Huska are like was a big reason for them waiting.

That is odd because a) they have already known them for a number of years b) if they were going to sign with another team or got traded, they would have even less insight into how the GM and coaches in other market operate.

Just seems to be strange reasoning. Otherwise, taking their time in general to make a big decision, that does make sense.
