Friedman: “… There’s a number of issues. However you already know what actually makes me loopy? Is individuals who get hung up on language? Okay. Don’t get caught up within the language. Don’t swim within the semantics.
I get a textual content. I don’t get up early on Sundays. I don’t like waking up early basically, however I actually don’t like waking up early on Sunday, okay. I awakened, my cellphone’s bigging. I received like, three texts from individuals, ‘Yeah, you bought the story fallacious on Saturday night time, there was no supply made to Sherwood.’ You already know what? Shut up with that. Okay.
Like that’s, don’t get caught within the semantics. Don’t get caught up within the language. They talked to him. They went forwards and backwards. They threw some numbers on the market. Like I mentioned, it wasn’t within the space the place it was, like they didn’t insult him. They didn’t supply him minimal wage or something like that, however they made a suggestion. It was, or they, when you don’t just like the phrase supply, they threw out some numbers. Okay.
They weren’t the place Sherwood’s individuals see the market, however they weren’t an insult. Do I feel Vancouver was trying and saying, can we get them for possibly rather less than market worth? Didn’t work out. Nonetheless, like I mentioned, a large hole. Unlikely that it’s going to occur.
I additionally don’t perceive the people who find themselves freaking out about, ‘I can’t consider they made them a suggestion. I assumed they had been rebuilding.’ Like I mentioned, don’t get caught up in language. They had been merely making an attempt to see if they might get them at a superb deal. I don’t even know in the event that they actually thought it was going to even occur. However clearly there’s nonetheless a niche.
I don’t know the place that is going to go right here. Had a few individuals on Sunday requested me, ‘Like, when do you suppose it’s going to get dealt since this didn’t work out? Like, what do you suppose the timeline is?’ I truthfully don’t know. I don’t have a superb really feel for it.
There was positively some elevated noise round him over the previous couple of days. However now I feel, look, everyone is in Minnesota on the World Juniors. The GMs are there. Scouts are there. Individuals are speaking.
I feel, you already know, I feel the truth that they had been speaking to Sherwood had some individuals saying, Okay, in the event that they’re not going to signal Sherwood, possibly they’ll deal in right here whereas everyone’s right here. I don’t know that. It’s, it’s onerous to determine the timeline.
However don’t get caught up within the language. They talked. They took a shot at it. Simply didn’t, didn’t bridge the hole. So we’ll see the place it goes. I don’t perceive individuals. I simply don’t perceive individuals, that’s all.”
Bukauskas: “Effectively, and to the individuals’s protection, you clearly see these items in a a lot totally different gentle and in a lot better element than most. I simply puzzled, like, is the lesson right here that stuff like that possibly goes on a little bit extra usually than we predict. As a result of I type of was of the identical boat the place I’m like, What do you imply they’re speaking about simply even the concept of of re-signing?
As a result of this entire the place they hope to go, and also you’re gamers that who may command good worth, you suppose Sherwood is the man to get one thing again of substance that may assist Vancouver down the road.
