Friedman: “Okay. Well, let’s start with McTavish, because that was the one who had a lot of news around it on Thursday, because it was reported that McTavish went back to Ottawa and is skating with the Ottawa 67s. And you know, normally, if something like that plays, you don’t know, but it is no more than others calling.

You know, Pat, I saw Pat Verbeek quotes, I looked at his scrum. Thank you to the reporters there who set it up so that I could see it. And you know, the thing of this is that they have been dug pretty tight. I am, I have heard it in different places. Nobody has disputed me, but the ducks don’t want to take a bridge. They want to do here in the longer term.

And I really believe that McTavish is receptive to that. I think he is willing to go here in the long term. But as we see, there is one, the cap explodes for the top players. The figures are rising. And I think what the ducks see as a long -term contract, and what the representatives of Mctavish, Pat Morris in Newport, are different. They are considerably apart.

And I don’t have to repeat myself over and over again, but I have pointed out a few times how these are real grinding machines. Such as negotiators with a strong nose on both sides of this conversation. I don’t really have a good answer for everyone here about how this will be resolved.

You know, one thing I can tell you is that teams have called Verbeek, as you can imagine, about: “Hey, if it can’t sign this guy and can’t agree with this man, we would like to trade for him.” And I think Verbeek has told everyone to get lost. As if he is not interested. And when Pat Verbeek, we probably all have a different way of how we imagine our Pat Verbeek, saying “Get lost.” A) And not overly polite, fine and b) perhaps not exactly those words.

Anyway, so … “

Bukaukas: “The same number of words, just different.”

Friedman: “But the fact is that he has not shown an interest in exchanging him. So you know, I don’t have a solution for this yet.

I will tell you what we have said on a previous podcast about how the ducks have a number of young players who need new contracts in the near future. You look at it, those guys. (Leo) Carlsson, really good young player. (Jackson) Lacombe, really good young player. (Cutter) Gauthier, really good young player. As if they have a couple of really good young players.

We spoke about how this is on the horizon, and another agent took that a step further for me. He said that this is not just about the Mason MCTAVIS negotiation, this is Pat Verbeek a signal that all these negotiations could be that way. That we have a line, and we are going to hold our line, at least for the time being. We will see how this all happens.

As the only thing is this is, this is a large year in Anaheim. They want to take a step forward. Uh, they have made it very clear internally. They have just accepted Joel Quenneville. You know, I mean, you take the risk of not having a MCTavish there at the start of the season. But Pat Veerbeek has made it very clear that he is not pushed on contract numbers. So we will see where this is going. I don’t have a great answer. “
