Kypreos: “AAV, yes”
Friedman: “I don’t, I don’t know…”
Nine? But you won’t get them at nine o’clock. ”

Bourne: “Do you think he’s that good?”
Friedman: “He got points, right? Yes.”
Kypreos: “It will be Sebastian Aho again.”
Friedman: “The point is important.”
Kypreos: “Montreal, I thought they were tall enough, sorry, instead, where. Where, like where they are going to match. They’re easy to match.”
Friedman: “I think they’ll do what I think they’ll do is….”

Kypreos: “You only have Buffalo that matches it when you really think of another. That’s the only reason you want to do that.”
Bourne: “I know I’m going there. But I don’t think Buffalo wants to pay him $9 million, either.
Kypreos: “So, that’s $9 million, not the first, second and third, Elliott?”
Friedman: “I have to check it out, there is nothing in front of me.”
Kypreos: “Did you have a conversation?”
Friedman: “But I hear Byron, they are thinking about making a year’s quotes, no matter who is thinking about doing it.
Bourne: “Yes, $9 million is first, second and third.”
Friedman: “Yes, yes.”
Bourne: “But, in more than nine, that’s two firsts, second and thirds.”
Kypreos: “This didn’t help the buffalo…”
Friedman: “No”
Kypreos: “First and second and third, right?”
NHL Rumor: Carolina Hurricanes Will Offer K’andre Miller Before Deal
Bourne: “No”
Friedman: “No. They need…”
Kypreos: “He was traded with more value.”
Friedman: “When you look at all their quotes for Peterka, I think a lot is that we don’t want futures. We want, we want to compete now. So they’re not interested. So it’s obvious, like there’s pressure performance, put it on Sabers.”
