00:00What, what is the deal with Swayman?
00:02Is this going to get done?
00:03What's going on?
00:03Yeah, it's going to get done.
00:05It's just, like I said, everybody, especially this year that the Stanley
00:10cup went all the way to the end.
00:11There was like three days till the draft, three days, free agency, three
00:14days to development camp, and everybody's gone, everybody has their phones off.
00:20Everybody has taking some time.
00:22This is like the, for the three or four weeks right now of, you
00:26know, the season being actually off.
00:28So, uh, I, it's going to get done.
00:31Um, uh, they've gone through this a little bit last season.
00:35So the business side of it, they, they know where each other stands
00:39and have gone through it before.
00:40And, um, you know, fortunately for Jeremy, he's, he's very important
00:45and, and wants to be paid as such.
00:48And I give you credit because you were a voice at Nesson against the goalie
00:54duo entering the post season.
00:56You were kind of steadfast in this opinion.
00:59You were right.
01:00Um, did Don Sweeney make a mistake in not unloading Linus earlier?
01:06Um, well, no, well, they tried to, and Linus had, Linus was able to, to
01:10veto that and, and that was his right as a player and I'm always a player's right guy.
01:15But I mean, maybe if you try longer in the off season,
01:19well, I, I think, so what happened last?
01:22I think they would, I think, I don't know.
01:25I think that they tried last season as well, last off season.
01:30What happened last off season was because of the salary cap, no one made a trade.
01:34It was the first time ever in the NHL draft that no trades were made last season.
01:39Um, so there just wasn't a market.
01:41You couldn't get rid of anybody because everyone was up against the salary cap
01:45from the pandemic a couple of years earlier.
01:47Um, and everything needed to reset this summer, last summer.
01:51They just didn't have an opportunity to, I think they would have, if they could
01:54Um, and I think they've got to, they traded Linus at the first possible time
02:00that they could actually do so, um, which was just a couple of weeks ago.
02:03Linus aside, are you happy with all of the trades, all the movement that they've made?
02:07Like, I think everybody kind of expected that DeBras, Grizzlik, like
02:11those guys were going to be gone.
02:12And yeah, yeah.
02:13I love, I love Zdorov.
02:14I think that's, they needed.
