Think about it, John

I've said all along.. AND CONTINUE TO BELIEVE.. John Tavares should think twice about joining an organization on the brink. In this case the Islanders come to mind. Its a team on tenuous ground and AGAIN in position to grab ANOTHER blue chipper. Sure, it would be an insult to hockey fans on the Island, but a Tavares snub would also send a message: Garbage teams must get their acts together, especially off the ice before enjoying the fruits of a young star's labour. Really, why would Tavares want to go to team that may or may not be in that location when he begins coming into his own as a pro? A junior player with promise should be offered the same kind of promise by the organization privileged enough to select him. If a potential partnership doesn't appear equal, the parties potentially involved should have the right to avoid it.
