The Letter John Tavares Should Have Written To His Younger Self

Warning **** I know this is not going to go over well at all.

Sorry, but someone had to write it. Will Tavares think along my lines? Doubtful, but some of it likely crosses his mind, even if his loyalty to this franchise makes him regret resigning sooner or later.

I don't think it's a money issue or who the management was or is. I want him to re-sign now that we have a new coach, who can help his speed/defense.

But there is more to it, it's not my choice, but this is what I would be thinking if I were him.
