“You know, a man said, someone said to me, he’s a man, and we’ll see how, see what Nashville does here in terms of what they, what they ultimately decide to do. Somebody said to me, Nick Perbix.”
I said, ‘You know what? That makes perfect sense.’ Right shot. Two-year deal, manageable number, $2.75 (million). But you know what, Nashville has to say we’re gone.
NHL Rumors: Could the Pittsburgh Penguins Keep UFA Players as Own Rentals?

Friedman: “I’ll say this too, when we’re talking about goalies, you’re looking at goalies that could be available, Kyle. So Mike Russo has announced Wallstedt’s name in Minnesota. And I think Minnesota may have already tried that.”
But we’ve all wondered. We all know the Wild are going to try to acquire another player, probably a center. We all sit there and say, what is he going to use? I think that could be the man.”
Bukauskas: “Really.”
Friedman: “Yes.”
Bukauskas: “It has been such a strong tandem.”
Friedman: “I don’t, I’m not crazy about it. I mean, it depends on what else you’re going to do as part of that. But if you want to go all out and you’ve signed (Filip) Gustavsson, then someone says to me, if it happens, you’ll understand why.”
Bukauskas: So who’s trying to lure Bill Guerin in?”
FriedmanL: “Yes.”
Bukauskas: “Okay. And I think that also says something about the division they’re in, right? Knowing that you potentially have to get through the other two, Dallas and Colorado, to have a chance to play in the third round.”
NHL Rumors: Canucks, Maple Leafs and the Red Wings
Friedman: “To get to the Western Finals. Yes.”
Bukauskas: “You’re only halfway there. That’s a fascinating place to be if you’re Bill Guerin and the Wild. But I like the concept because you’re trying to win.”
