One of the things Mario and I talked about last week was how I wondered if he'd get a call-up to the AHL because he certainly deserves one.
The gist of the conversation was he'd consider it, but it would have to be the right deal in every way. He's having a lot of fun here and loves his teammates, the money would more than likely be the same, he would likely not be going to a winning team and he'd go from being a major player who's on the ice for 30 minutes a game to a bit part playing 10 per game.
The other thing is he's not a rookie who's never done it before and doesn't know how it all works. He played in Bridgeport a few games last year when Pat Bingham was the assistant coach there, but elected to return to Danbury. He's not some kid who is niave and who doesn't understand the politics of a possible situation.
Never say never, but that's how he's thinking at this time. He has a very mature attitude about it and really likes the situation he has here now.
