Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek on the 32 Ideas: The Podcast – Aaron Sorkin Couldn’t Have Written a Higher Ending
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Marek: “You already know, we’re all questioning as effectively what the modifications are going to be on the ice for the Carolina Hurricanes. One of many gamers who’s a restricted free agent, has arbitration rights Martin Necas. I feel we marvel about his future.
You talked about him in all probability being in one other market subsequent season. May there be a slot in Boston, there?”
Friedman: “Are you speaking about and Ullmark transfer or one thing like that?”
Marek: “Goalie for winger sir. Goalie for Winger?”
NHL Rumors: Edmonton Oilers, Leon Draisaitl, and the Boston Bruins
Friedman: “So, I can’t keep in mind what we stated after the deadline. Though I’m fairly positive we talked about it.
Ullmark, there was one thing happening with the Bruins and one other Jap Convention group, a contender about Ullmark. And I can’t keep in mind what we stated precisely, so it’s actually good to dive into the shallow finish right here with out remembering what we mentioned.”
Marek: “Very accountable of us. Yeah.”
Friedman: “However I do imagine the Bruins and the Hurricanes talked about in Ullmark deal. Now I don’t know if it concerned Necas. However I do assume they talked about one thing. And I can’t keep in mind if we particularly talked about the Bruins on the time or not, however we undoubtedly talked about one thing with Ullmark and an Jap Convention group.
Now primary, it needs to be acknowledged that Ullmark would have to have the ability to go there. In order that, I don’t know the place Carolina is or is just not on his listing, however I do imagine it’s one thing these two groups talked about.
You already know, the entire Necas factor. You already know, Don Waddell poured just a little little bit of chilly water on it on the season-ending media convention. However because of this I don’t let my household do interviews as a result of I’m afraid of what all of them say. Necas’ says Dad went out in a Czech interview, and mainly stated, yeah, it’s time. Which is one thing that I feel a couple of individuals have suspected for some time.
I do assume it’s possible he will get moved. I simply assume that him and the Hurricanes don’t see one another in the identical worth. However we’ll see the way it all works out.
I imply, on paper, that is sensible to me, Jeff, however simply speaking on paper. I feel there’s loads of groups which are going to be Necas and looking for out what he needs. And he’s a superb participant. And , Carolina’s gonna have some choices right here.
I did have somebody say to me that they had been prepared to wager me a pleasant steak dinner, that there’s no approach that Carolina buys out (Jesperi) Kotkaniemi. They assume that they’ve received a participant there they usually’ve simply received to determine methods to make it work. However, , we’ll see we introduced it up within the final pod. We’ll see the place it goes.
Jeff yet one more factor about Necas.”
Marek: “Yep.”
Friedman: “Do you keep in mind when all that Pettersson drama right here, about whether or not he was going to register, not register Vancouver, talked with Carolina?”
Marek: “Oh, after all. Yeah. That was yeah, that was an attention-grabbing time Elliotte.”
Friedman: “So Necas was in that deal.”
Marek: “Yep.”
Friedman: “Okay. And Pettersson, in our interview with him stated he by no means thought he was going to get dealt. However Necas was in that deal. And I simply marvel if there’s one thing there, nonetheless. If one of many ways in which Vancouver and if Necas goes to be moved, and I don’t it’s not for Pettersson, clearly. Let’s not go down that highway. It’s not for Pettersson. However I ponder if there’s a Necas deal to be made there with Vancouver.
Like, let’s simply say like, Carolina’s received loads of D that they should signal. Like, , what in the event that they take a look at somebody like (Filip) Hronek is making extra sense for them? Like that’s, that’s the type of factor I’m, I’m questioning about now.
NHL Rumors: New York Islanders, Elias Lindholm, and Los Angeles
And Jeff, that I had somebody who wager me a steak dinner they heard us speaking about Kotkaniemi and a buyout. And he stated to me, Elliotte, I’ll wager you a scrumptious steak dinner, that Kotkaniemi doesn’t get purchased out. As a result of the Hurricanes is a corporation like him. And he stated, what different organizations do too, and the Canucks could be certainly one of them. So , we’ll see. We’ll see what occurs right here. However there’ll be rather a lot to speak about, that’s for positive.”
