Dhaliwal: “Elliotte, let’s discuss a bit bit about Vancouver. What are your ideas on (Filip) Hronek and his new contract, can they get it carried out? I’ve to ask you, I’ve to ask you. What are you listening to about Hronek and his new deal?

Friedman: “To begin with Rick, what did you consider my impersonation of you? Was it good”

Dhaliwal: Yeah, it was not dangerous. Not dangerous. Not dangerous. Not dangerous.”

Friedman: “Okay, so, look, I feel there’s, I feel that there’s a deal to be made right here. It’s most likely like, I take a look at it this fashion, for me, the candy spot there most might be within the $7.5 (million) vary.

Like if Hronek is lifeless set above that, I may see it being an actual downside. However I feel there’s, like I feel there’s a deal to be made there. Wish to me, if you may get the deal carried out with Pettersson then you may get the deal carried out with nearly anyone, actually, after every little thing they went by. So you realize, I feel if Hronek is completely happy in Vancouver.

….

Like, I feel look, I feel if he desires to be a Canuck and so they need him to be a Canuck, there’s a deal to be made. And I’ve no purpose to consider at this cut-off date, Rick or Don, that he doesn’t need to be a Vancouver Canuck.

So I feel there’s a deal to be made. That’s primary. Quantity two, look, it will depend on what the quantity is. You already know, I feel if we’re speaking max, seven and a half (million), I feel there’s completely a deal to be made there.

I feel if we’re going larger there would, we may have an issue. However so far as I, as I sit right here at this time with you on this Monday, March the 18th. I’ve no purpose to consider {that a} deal right here is inconceivable to do. I feel there’s a deal to be made, and till I’ve causes to consider in any other case, I’m going to maintain shifting in that path.
