Surprisingly, John Tavares dropped some pretty big news on us last night. He said that he hasn’t ruled out signing with the Islanders before the season comes to a close. On top of that, he also said the Islanders making the playoffs or not wouldn’t hinder his decision.
Woah, where did that come from? The past few days between the mediocre trade deadline and the poorly worded comments from Yormark has made for some depressing times in Islanders land.
I was pleasantly surprised by these unexpected comments. Tavares seems focused on the ultimate goal. Here’s what he told Newsday:
“Things happen and change so quickly with the standings and how tight it is for us and where we stand right now.
