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.
