Marek: “So then the query now turns into, what do you anticipate subsequent out of each groups? I wish to park Vancouver right here for a second. You talked about (Noah) Hanifin a few seconds in the past. We surprise about Chris Tanev as properly with this staff and gamers which might be out there. Is it only a matter of hear, Craig Conroy is open for enterprise and if he has gamers on expiring contracts, he’s greater than keen to hear as a result of they’re in promote mode proper now.”
Friedman: “Yeah, you realize, look, I feel he’s nonetheless obtained three extra items right here that, not less than, that we have now to take care of. Primary is Tanev. You understand Ottawa took their run it Tanev. I don’t see that occuring this season, however I don’t assume it’s not possible if he goes unsigned, in the summertime that Ottawa takes a run at that.

You understand, I feel it’s actually fascinating, I imply, there have been some experiences final night time that you realize, Tanev may have been included within the Vancouver deal. I’m not saying they’re mistaken, I simply by no means heard it on this explicit case. I feel, truly, I shouldn’t say that, what I’d say is, I feel that, just like the Canucks sort of mentioned, what if we wished to incorporate Tanev on this deal. And I simply don’t assume it was a worth that they had been going to have the ability to take. Prefer it was in all probability going to be one other first rounderr, proper? And I simply don’t assume the Canucks we’re going to have the ability to do this.
However I you realize, I do assume that that is one thing that may get revisited within the offseason, probably by Vancouver. I feel there’s a one thing that would get revisited within the offseason by Ottawa.
However who’s there now? And I feel there’s just a few groups there now. However, you realize, one of many, a kind of groups I feel that’s lurking is the largest hockey staff within the NHL. And Jeff, they play simply south of the palatial America states and I’m nonetheless questioning. I mentioned, I mentioned some time in the past that he’s their goal till he’s not out there and I nonetheless imagine that to be the case.
And he won’t be the one one.”
Marek: “I used to be gonna say what he, would there be one goal on Calgary for Brad Treliving or perhaps two, realizing how he feels about his blue line?”
Friedman: “Nicely, you realize, the factor about Hanafin is, like, Hanifin’s obtained to decide. I do imagine that, I do imagine that Calgary wish to preserve him.
You understand, I imply, it relies upon. There’s there’s two issues right here. There’s primary is what’s Hanifin need and quantity two, you realize what turns into out there for him. And I do assume Calgary has made it very clear they’d prefer to preserve them each in phrases and what they’ve supplied.
I feel Hanifin has to decide. And you realize, I feel the opposite factor that does realizing that the you realize, the Flames have made them a really beneficiant provide is, what does that do to different groups on the market that like him as a result of I feel there are some. So, so I feel the Hanifin state of affairs is as a lot in his palms as it’s in others.

And Markstrom. You understand, I like, I’ve little question groups have requested. You understand my place on this. I’m not saying it could’t occur, I’m simply saying that you simply actually obtained to make the Flames need it to occur. To even undergo the ache of going to him.”
