Russo: “You know, I have not spoken to you anymore since I sat down with Filip Gustafsson, in Milan recently. But you know, I have spoken a lot about his out of season. But also the fact that he has spoken with his agent, while the game comes to him about a potential expansion that he is absolutely open.

Now the question is the price. Like this is a bit of one, this kind of a bit of a dilemma, Anthony. As you are, if you are wild, because at the moment the prices of starting goalkeepers are five and a half to six and a half. So if you do this, what you might want, and give him that kind of commitment, what happens if Jesper Wallstedt is the real deal this season, and how you just signed it? So it’s just interesting how they navigate. “
Lapanta: “Well that, and you know, we talked a lot about how great a season Filip Gustavsson had last year. Not only in his number, but only in his presence, in his ability to deal with the pressure, mentally and physically of the number one man. But it is only a year.”
Russo: “Right.”
Lapanta: “It’s not like this man did it for four years. What if there is a regression? I don’t expect that there would be, but that could be. And so I think there are many variables with Filip.
And I, but I also think the chance that he is what everyone thinks is that he is now is high. And that, you know, this is a man who looks like he’s an upper half of the NHL, number one goalkeeper for me. And so if you have the chance to sign it for a prize that will be team -friendly a few years after the road, I would say you have a chance. “

Russo: “Yes, he is only 27 years old. And then, of course, if you do that, it now means that you are not exactly committed to Wallstedt. So we will see the way the Wallstedt also plays.”
