Gord Stellick: “I want to come back to the ice, but what I really get an atmosphere that I mean, pre-Sacal cap, before 2005, Bob Goodenow was big, that if you were a free agent without restriction, you owed your brothers to go where there was a better dollar. It is Sam BennettWhether it is (vladislav) Gavrikov as, whatever that, do you get this?

Is this atmosphere there? There is a feeling that it could be a year, I do not know if the (Mikko) Rantanen is what put him in motion. I don't know, but these players, because the hockey players go oh gee darn will stay at home, will take a discount on the hometown, want to be there. But these kinds of players can be inclined to be more in motion than people think. What is your catch?
Elliotte Friedman: “It's a good question. I think, as, I am with you on the salary ceiling. Some people say you have to take the best dollar. You have to take the best dollar. And my point is, do what you want. But I understand that the dollars are over. And push the line and push the line without consequences to other players.
All this said that everything said, I really think of Gordie that some of the star players, or some of the best players are pressure to push the line, move the line, move the line. And we saw it during the last little moment, do you know? I mean, of course, (Connor) McDavid was 12.5. (Nathan) Mackinnon reviewed. (Auston) Matthews reviewed. And we will see where we meet here with some of these other players.
But one of the things is funny, you mentioned this, because I was talking about it a few days ago with someone, and he was an agent who told me, one of the reasons why some of these guys are so big, is that they are competitive, right? And they want to be the best player. And for some of these players, wanting to be the best player also means that they are at the top of the results table. This is another way of classification.
Rumors of the NHL: What does the future contain for Patrik Laine in Montreal?
I think I'm the best, so I should win the most. Now, not everyone is wired like that. You will remember the last time McDavid when he signed his contract, he was initially supposed to be 13,33 is the AAV, then he took it back. So everyone is not wired that way, but some of these guys are absolutely wired in this way, and that is part of the competition. »»
