And generally even for us who deal in it, it’s arduous to separate reality from fiction. And so I’m not keen on preventing anybody that’s obtained William Karlsson’s title on the market.

I’ll. All I’m going to say is that I obtained pushback from groups about Karlsson. Now I haven’t spoken to Vegas straight, and it’s all the time potential, and I stress this, all the time potential that Vegas could also be speaking to 1 or two particular groups about him that I haven’t discovered.

However I’ll say I requested a couple of folks about Karlsson, and both they advised me they’re not below the impression he’s accessible, or, I think in at the least one or two instances they requested and have been advised no. They didn’t come proper out and say it, however the sort of manner they talked about it made me really feel it that manner. So once more, like I don’t, I don’t assume it’s inconceivable that there may solely be 10 or 15 guys on this league which can be fully untouchable. However I requested round about Karlson, and simply the folks I converse to, they advised me that they had both no indication Vegas was keen to do it, or had been particularly advised Vegas wasn’t doing it.
So if Karlsson is out there, and I stress if, it’s a state of affairs on the market that I haven’t discovered but. I do know they actually just like the participant, as a result of there was a time some time in the past I heard one thing, and I checked in on it, and I used to be advised that they actually appreciated the participant. So that you, so once more, I’m not saying it’s inconceivable, however you’d have to point out me what the state of affairs could be.”
