It is quite puzzling and I do truly believe he will regret it one day. I also question that team is he really has a better chance from 2025-on than he did in Toronto with Vegas.
He left with 0 playoff success. He quit.
If he cared about winning he shouldn't be joining an aging team that peaked and is getting worse.
Years from now he'll regret this. He ran away from the pressure to hide.
Gotta give JT major props here. That is one huge discount. He also handled the C situation last year better than anyone else would have (And it was all for nothing).
