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

Friedman: “I feel the factor is right here is that it was so loopy through the season, Calgary is attempting to do that as quietly as potential. And that’s not going to be simple. I imply, good luck with that this time of the yr.”
Marek: “Put this on the pod, put something on the podcast and so they’re attempting 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 feel they’re, they’re actually, actually attempting to keep away from it. However there’s positively one thing happening.
I imply New Jersey, Fitzgerald is on document as saying he’ll think about shifting his tenth total choose and I do know lots of people are in aim. A few different groups I’m wondering about there too, you realize, anyone searching for a goalie however a few groups I’m wondering about.
Toronto and I do know offers with Toronto and Calgary are type 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 staff like Toronto could be fascinated about that doubtlessly.
And the opposite staff that I feel is in on virtually each goalie dialog is Ottawa. Now I don’t know the way Markstrom feels about that. However I used to be instructed like each dialog that includes a goalie, it’s a must to 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 is perhaps an even bigger quantity, you’re very glad to take that.

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