With Bear, next year would be a waste. Wouldn't be cleared until at least mid season the by the time he would be up to game speed season would be over.
The top end CHLers are in all liklihood one and dones. This team is a year or two away from making a serious run in the tourney and Jax is looking for the 2-3 if not 4 year player to build the program.
I would take Texas Roadhouse over Harry's any day of the week. Just as good of steak and a fraction of the price. Last time I was at Harry's paid $60 for a medium rare ribeye and it was medium well if anything.
