\u201cI’m not going to deceive you guys, it’s right down to Buffalo and Chicago. I do know that, obviously, because I spoke to him. However it\u2019s a tricky decision for him. It truly is.<\/p>\n

You realize, whether to go home, make it easy on his parents and his family and his friends and finish like he did, or like you recognize, form of like Taser tried to do.<\/p>\n

Or he comes back, and for my part, you recognize, he\u2019s a Blackhawk,\u00a0and you recognize the Blackhawks, you see how tough it’s to make the playoffs. It\u2019s hit and miss. There\u2019s no guarantees. With the absence of Connor (Bedard), you recognize, at first of the season, no telling when he\u2019s going to be back yet.<\/p>\n

How great would that be? You saw the reception he got a pair years ago through the Jersey retirement. He\u2019s so beloved in Chicago. So I\u2019m, I\u2019m hoping he leans.<\/p>\n

And I feel he\u2019s going to make his decision, you recognize, pretty quick now. It\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

However it\u2019s a tricky decision needless to say. You realize, again, I just return to what I used to be feeling once I asked to be traded from my hometown, and it was one in all the hardest things I ever did, however it worked out.<\/p>\n

But God, I\u2019m hoping he involves Blackhawk, and it\u2019d be exciting. It\u2019d be a giant boost to the Blackhawks, and he still got some good gas left in him. I feel he\u2019s got two, three years left in him. He had a superb finish with Detroit. So let\u2019s keep our finger crossed, fingers crossed. That\u2019ll be great news if he does sign with the Hawks.\u201d<\/p>\n
