Dreger: “At the same time, they’ve gotten Ryan Hudson a contract extension, and unlike (Jack) Eichel, (Kyle) Conner and Connor McDavid, I don’t think that’s going to be done anytime soon.”
Jeff O’Neal: “Why Dregs? After what happened the past few days, this should be a layup, right? Doesn’t that contract allow those guys to complete his layup?”
Dreeger: “Well, I mean, what was that layup? Eight times ten (O’Neal)? Because Noah Dobson was nine and a half, right?”
NHL Rumors: Wild, Kempe, Tuch and Necas
O’Neal: “Yeah. Well, that’s what he wants to put on paper, then that’s what you have to put on paper.”
Dreger: “Yeah. I think it got good, fair coverage, to be honest. There was a lot of emotion in the negotiations. You know, families were involved. I think it was wise for both sides to say, ‘Okay, let’s put it aside for now.'” Right?
Quartexx took a team approach on behalf of Lane Hudson. Now, this is more than just an agent. You know, Darren Farris is overseeing it. Ryan Barnes is also involved. A meeting with general manager Ken Hughes is likely to take place Thursday in Detroit. So (Thursday) in Detroit. You haven’t officially done so yet. But in terms of the overall look of this thing, it’s kind of spicy meatballs right now. So I think they need to calm down. “
