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 adjustments 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 believe we marvel about his future.
You talked about him in all probability being in one other market subsequent season. Might 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 bear in mind what we mentioned after the deadline. Though I’m fairly certain we talked about it.
Ullmark, there was one thing occurring with the Bruins and one other Jap Convention group, a contender about Ullmark. And I can’t bear in mind what we mentioned 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 consider the Bruins and the Hurricanes talked about in Ullmark deal. Now I don’t know if it concerned Necas. However I do suppose they talked about one thing. And I can’t bear 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 just isn’t on his checklist, however I do consider 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 mentioned, yeah, it’s time. Which is one thing that I believe just a few folks have suspected for some time.
I do suppose it’s probably he will get moved. I simply suppose 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 smart to me, Jeff, however simply speaking on paper. I believe there’s a number of groups which are going to be Necas and looking for out what he desires. And he’s participant. And you already know, Carolina’s gonna have some choices right here.
I did have somebody say to me that they had been keen to wager me a pleasant steak dinner, that there’s no method that Carolina buys out (Jesperi) Kotkaniemi. They suppose that they’ve bought a participant there they usually’ve simply bought to determine how one can make it work. However, you already know, we’ll see we introduced it up within the final pod. We’ll see the place it goes.
Jeff another factor about Necas.”
Marek: “Yep.”
Friedman: “Do you bear in mind when all that Pettersson drama right here, about whether or not he was going to sign up, not sign up 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 mentioned 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 you already know if Necas goes to be moved, and I don’t it’s not for Pettersson, clearly. Let’s not go down that street. It’s not for Pettersson. However I’m wondering if there’s a Necas deal to be made there with Vancouver.
Like, let’s simply say like, Carolina’s bought a number of D that they should signal. Like, you already know, 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 sort 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 mentioned 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 company like him. And he mentioned, you already know what different organizations do too, and the Canucks could be one in every of them. So you already know, we’ll see. We’ll see what occurs right here. However there’ll be rather a lot to speak about, that’s for certain.”
