NYIFC Comments:
I love this decision. It says a great deal of what new management thinks of him, but in the end we all know what this comes down to by 7/1/19.
They could have gone the other way with longest tenured Josh Bailey on a new contract, or went with Boychuk, Leddy among several vets with term or no one at all which many expected.
Denis Potvin called with his congratulations.
Great choice.
