Kyle Bukauskas: “All proper, Elliotte, the Philadelphia Flyers. So that they have been a part of your Headlines on Saturday, together with names like Christian Dvorak, Egor Zamula. We will throw Trevor Zegras into that dialog, too. What have you ever all obtained on the Flyer entrance?”
Friedman: “Effectively, I obtained a few DMs from Flyer followers, and I assume there was a few of this sentiment over social, you’ll be able to’t hold monitor of all of it. However I obtained a pair DMs from Flyer followers who have been actually mad. Like, they’re like, this isn’t the Flyers information we need to hear.
They usually’re saying we need to hear about Zegras extensions, and never a lot about Dvorak. And you realize, Dvorak is, like a little bit little bit of an older middle. You understand, we shouldn’t be extending that man. We must be caring for Zegras. Why, why are they not making an attempt to increase Zegras? And I used to be like, Okay, you guys have to take a chill capsule. Like, you guys actually need to settle down. Life will not be that linear.

I believe I had written earlier than, some time in the past, about how the wedding between the Flyers and Zegras goes rather well, and Dvorak and Zegras have labored rather well collectively.
And naturally, they’re going to attempt to prolong Zegras. I’m certain they’re speaking about it, however I imagine they’re speaking about it. I believe I discussed that after earlier than. Simply because, you realize, folks can do a couple of factor at a time.
The Dvorak factor is fascinating as a result of, and I believe the explanation it popped up now could be, as I discussed, whenever you signal a one-year deal like Dvorak did, the earliest you’ll be able to prolong the participant is January 1st. So round this time of 12 months, I do typically examine round, and I say, okay, like there’s guys who signal one-year offers. Are any of them going wherever?
However the different motive I actually came upon about this one is that individuals are looking for facilities on the market. Like, look, LA simply traded Phillip Danault, and you realize, they talked about possibly a man like (Samuel) Helenius is getting extra of an opportunity. Effectively, he’s not enjoying very a lot, so that they’re searching for a middle once more.
And I believe a bunch of groups are on the market searching for guys. And Dvorak is an apparent identify. He’s on a one-year deal. Is he obtainable? And I obtained, I heard from a pair locations that it was form of hinted to them that Philly’s going to signal him, and the participant needs to remain, and they also’re most likely going to work out one thing.
Now, the important thing phrase I stated, there may be, it’s started working out for each side. And that’s what I stated on Saturday evening. And I believe there’s a logic right here as to what, you realize, Philly needs to do and what the participant needs. The place I believe each side are looking for the candy spot, and that’s what they’re making an attempt to do.

However I believe on the finish of the day, he’s been good for Philly. He’s been good for, it’s been good for him. And I believe, however, I do suppose Philly is making an attempt to be good about what they do.
So we’ll see the way it all works. Like, like, I believe when there’s a will, there’s a approach. Clearly there’s a will. The, and, each side, I assume, are going to be artistic. However the factor is there, is that different groups certain imagine that Dvorak will work out one thing there. We’ll see. He’s been a very good match there. However sure, I nonetheless do suppose they’re additionally going to work on Zegras.”
