Ledecky on Tavares: "The ball really is in John’s court. He’s being very contemplative about it, he’s thinking about it. It’s a huge decision in a young man’s life. We want him to take his time and we want him to come to the decision that’s best for him and his family.”

More Ledecky: “We love John Tavares. We want John Tavares to remain here for his entire career as an Islander, and we want him lifting that fifth Cup."

-Jon Ledecky, majority owner of the New York Islanders
