00:00Honestly, all I'm doing right now is letting this kid play hockey.
00:03And you know what?
00:04He's playing great.
00:05He's helping us win games.
00:07Like I've always said, whatever will happen will happen.
00:12And right now, the only person that knows what's going on in Quinn's head is Quinn.
00:17And that's okay.
00:18Are you just leaving it up to Quinn then to say, okay, Billy, I want to sign.
00:23Here's the number.
00:24Or do you periodically check with this agent and say, okay, I'm going to modify this, do
00:29this, or they already know everything you've offered?
00:32Yeah, they know everything.
00:35And, you know, to be quite honest with you, I have not talked to them about this in a
00:40long time.
00:41It's just.
00:42How come?
00:43I mean, to be honest with you, there's nothing really to talk about right now.
00:47What am I going to do?
00:48Like going, you know, please, please, please, please.
00:51Like this is a unique situation.
00:56I think Quinn needs to wrap his head around a couple things.
01:00And, and, and I don't think anything's changed.
01:05And I, and I, I'm being honest with you.
01:07Like right now I'm focused on our team, but you also focus on our team and winning games.
01:13Like Quinn's situation will resolve itself at some point in time.
01:17And like I said, I'm, I'm, this is not keep me awake at night.
01:23Um, yes, I do think about it, but it's not something that, that I'm going to, you know,
01:30let affect, uh, anything else I do.
01:33He's, he's gonna, he's going to take his time with it and, and that's it.
01:38Have you made a decision where you're just going to keep him through the rest of the
01:44year and see where this goes or in your mind, and I doubt you're going to share it.
01:50You've said as much as I respect him, as much as I want to avoid him at some point, I
01:55need
01:55to know where I then have to make a decision.
01:57I haven't really decided.
01:59I, I, at some point, they look at some point in time, I'll have to try to figure things
02:05out and see what's best for the, for the team.
02:07But, you know, I, I, I know one thing's for sure.
02:10Having Quinn on our team is what's best for the team.
02:13And, you know, I, I don't know.
02:15I, I, I'll be completely honest with you.
02:17I don't know.
02:18I don't know what's going to happen.
02:20I don't know what I'm going to do.
02:21There's no date.
02:23What we're doing right now is focusing on our team and trying to win hockey games.
02:29That's really it.
02:30I think some people want to make this more complicated than it really is.
02:34It's being the media and it's not that complicated.
02:37It's complicated because he's so damn good and you offered up so much and you're better
02:43because of him.
02:44And the fear is if he leaves, you take a step back.
02:48Because people care if he's going to sign and we're kind of the conduit.
02:53I, trust me, I care more than anybody.
02:55I know you do.
02:56So I don't think the media is getting up.
02:58Like when I say like the complication, like this, this is, this is going to be cut and
03:03dry.
03:03Can we just get him on the phone right now and get this done right here?
03:07Yeah, you can try.
03:09Okay.
03:09Okay.
03:09So I don't think the media is going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going
03:10to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be
03:10cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and
03:10we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going
03:10to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be
03:10cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and
03:10we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going
03:10to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be
03:10cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and we're going to be cut and
