Marek: “The one factor that everyone needs as effectively. One factor that everyone is, effectively quite a lot of groups anyhow are searching for, is netminding.
A lot of the dialog there has for the previous six months I suppose, perhaps longer, revolved round Jacob Markstrom and the Calgary Flames. Is there a contemporary on Jacob Markstrom and the Calgary Flames?”

Friedman: “I believe the factor is right here is that it was so loopy throughout the season, Calgary is making an attempt to do that as quietly as potential. And that’s not going to be straightforward. I imply, good luck with that this time of the yr.”
Marek: “Put this on the pod, put something on the podcast they usually’re making an attempt to do that quietly.”
Friedman: “However they only know what a curler coaster was for everyone concerned together with the participant and themselves. And I believe they’re, they’re actually, actually making an attempt to keep away from it. However there’s positively one thing happening.
I imply New Jersey, Fitzgerald is on document as saying he’ll contemplate transferring his tenth general choose and I do know lots of people are taking a look at in objective. A few different groups I ponder about there too, you already know, anyone searching for a goalie however a few groups I ponder about.
Toronto and I do know offers with Toronto and Calgary are form of sophisticated however the GM in Toronto is the man who signed Markstrom in Calgary. And simply on paper, a Markstrom-Woll mixture is a fairly good mixture. So I, I take a look at that and I say I might see why a group like Toronto can be fascinated about that doubtlessly.
And the opposite group that I believe is in on virtually each goalie dialog is Ottawa. Now I don’t understand how Markstrom feels about that. However I used to be instructed like each dialog that entails a goalie, you must have Ottawa round it.
Now the factor about Markstrom is buying and selling for him, he’s mainly a two instances six participant you’re buying and selling for (two years at $6 million per). And in case your alternative is buying and selling for a goalie, particularly him with that contract or going out or signing somebody in free company, that may be a much bigger quantity, you’re very comfortable to take that.

So I might perceive why there’d be quite a lot of curiosity in Markstrom. However clearly lots of people are suspecting New Jersey, and there’s just a few groups that suspect Toronto and Ottawa as effectively, can be round that it. Plus you already know, I imply, Toronto kicks tires on everyone so it is smart, however, you already know, some groups surprise if it finally ends up being a bit greater than that.”
