And, you realize, the one factor is, is (Pavel) Buchnevich. And, you realize, there’s nonetheless a little bit of time. Armstrong has set a excessive value on him. And I feel what’s going to be attention-grabbing is that if you realize, who’s, who’s gonna pay it. I feel groups are going to consider it however are they going to pay it?
Like I feel Edmonton is a staff that will take into account the thought. I feel Vegas is a staff that will take into account the thought. , I ponder if groups like you realize, Florida and Carolina would take into account the thought. Once more, Florida doesn’t have the draft choose cache, however they’ve cap room.
, so, you realize, to me, there’s all these groups which can be sort of in the identical space that, the (Jake) Guentzel groups. Edmonton, Vegas, Carolina, Florida, you realize, they’re positively there are others. And I feel loads of these groups could be related for Buchnevich to after which relying on who’s stated, doesn’t get them, or says we’re not going to have the ability to afford to get them, then they sort of transfer on and say okay, we’re trying on the (Vladimir) Tarasenko’s and, and a few of the different gamers right here.
In order that’s, that’s sort of what we’re coping with at this cut-off date, I feel is, the staff’s imagine that Armstrong’s value will come down or do groups simply notice that if we’re going to amass this participant, we’re simply going to need to pay Doug Armstrong’s value as a result of he’s not budging?
However there’s, there’s no query like him and Guentzel are most likely the 2 high winners accessible, until there’s anyone I lacking on the market.”
