Now, after the victory in opposition to the Pittsburgh Penguins, there was that fascinating interaction between him and Swayman. The place Swayman basically mentioned to him, you stayed, you’re right here, you’re considered one of us nonetheless, the large goalie hus.

Friedman: “I feel he thought it too. I heard it was a extremely emotional week for him behind the scenes. He made it very clear he didn’t wish to depart. However I feel he was anticipating that he could be traded.
the factor is right here is that I all the time say this, it’s a participant’s proper. Should you get it in your contract, you’ve got a no-trade clause, it’s your proper to say “no.” And I consider he, he exercised, and particularly in the midst of a season that you realize, and it’s probably far-off from the place you might be, I fully perceive that.
And you realize, the report has been LA. I’ve heard nothing that makes me dispute it. , clearly, he hasn’t commented on that and Don Sweeney hasn’t mentioned something. And I’ve heard the Kings aren’t very glad, as a result of that results in questions on who probably was concerned.
Marek: “Yeah.”
Friedman: “However you realize, I’ve heard nothing that makes me disbelieve that LA was the staff.
However I additionally suppose that there have been some groups within the East that Boston was speaking to. Probably about another conditions and I feel there was a couple of. I feel there have been a pair and I don’t know in the event that they have been ones he may have blocked or not. I consider in at the least one case the deal fell aside. I feel it’s additionally doable the staff that was speaking to Boston, mentioned nicely, we’d slightly do Swayman and Boston simply shot that down. Stated that’s not that’s not taking place.
However there’s undoubtedly some conversations about Ullmark that occurred during the last couple of weeks that I feel shall be revisited in the summertime. And, or after the season’s over. I don’t suppose that is over. I feel Ullmark realizes that.
And you realize, the opposite factor too is I’d assume in some unspecified time in the future, I don’t know when, like each staff is totally different. Some groups it’s July 1, June 30, no matter it’s, however I don’t know when Ullmark has to submit his record. However you realize, that’s going to be a part of this too.
And, you realize, Boston, I don’t suppose these conversations are over. I’d guess that Boston was one of the dissatisfied groups on the deadline. I feel they, you realize, they acquired (Pat) Maroon. They acquired (Andrew) Peeke from Columbus. And other people informed me that Peeke is a greater participant than you realize what occurred to him this 12 months. He simply acquired caught in a numbers recreation in Columbus.

However I feel Boston could be one of many extra dissatisfied groups and that they couldn’t do a number of the issues that they wished to do. And, however I feel Boston goes to be a extremely fascinating staff within the offseason. There’s there’s no query about that to me.
