Marek: “When it comes to Carolina that we focus a lot on, you know, before the Don Waddell situation, I guess the Rod Brind’Amour situation as well. We focused a lot on the decisions that the organization had to make on players. And how much of a sure thing that the Brett Pecse’s and the Brady Skjei’s were going to be leaving for greener pastures. Should we pause on that for a moment?
Friedman: “Just in the aftermath of everything happening this weekend, I had someone who listened to the pod after Carolina got knocked out. They completely agreed with me that (Jaccob) Slavin is their top priority.
And they also agreed that (Filip) Hronek makes a lot of sense for Carolina if Vancouver and then make a deal.
But they also said that in the aftermath of Waddell leaving, there were some rumblings around the league that maybe there was, I don’t even, I want to be careful. I don’t want to radio myself too badly here. But there seem to be some positivity that maybe things would improve with either Pesce or Skjei.
