Dhaliwal: “Elliotte, let’s speak slightly bit about Vancouver. What are your ideas on (Filip) Hronek and his new contract, can they get it executed? I’ve to ask you, I’ve to ask you. What are you listening to about Hronek and his new deal?
Friedman: “Initially Rick, what did you consider my impersonation of you? Was it good”
Dhaliwal: Yeah, it was not unhealthy. Not unhealthy. Not unhealthy. Not unhealthy.”
Friedman: “Okay, so, look, I feel there’s, I feel that there’s a deal to be made right here. It’s in all probability like, I have a look at it this manner, for me, the candy spot there most might be within the $7.5 (million) vary.
Like if Hronek is lifeless set above that, I might see it being an actual downside. However I feel there’s, like I feel there’s a deal to be made there. Wish to me, if you may get the deal executed with Pettersson then you may get the deal executed with nearly anyone, actually, after every part they went via. So you already know, I feel if Hronek is completely satisfied in Vancouver.
….
Like, I feel look, I feel if he desires to be a Canuck they usually need him to be a Canuck, there’s a deal to be made. And I’ve no motive to imagine at this cut-off date, Rick or Don, that he doesn’t wish to be a Vancouver Canuck.
So I feel there’s a deal to be made. That’s primary. Quantity two, look, it is determined by what the quantity is. You already know, I feel if we’re speaking max, seven and a half (million), I feel there’s completely a deal to be made there.
I feel if we’re going greater there would, we might have an issue. However so far as I, as I sit right here at present with you on this Monday, March the 18th. I’ve no motive to imagine {that a} deal right here is not possible to do. I feel there’s a deal to be made, and till I’ve causes to imagine in any other case, I’m going to maintain transferring in that path.
