Friedman: “For McTavish, I believe it’s somewhat bit completely different, as a result of (Geese GM Pat) Verbeek and the Geese previously have proven a willingness to maintain guys out till they get what they’re comfy with. So I at all times take a look at that and say, may, in the event that they don’t discover a deal they like, may they preserve him out longer and be comfy with that? And the historical past of the Geese is, sure, they’d.
Now, a pair issues about them. Somebody stated to me the opposite day, in case you actually take a look at the Geese, like they nonetheless have quite a lot of cap room, however over the subsequent few years, take a look at a number of the contracts that might be arising. Cutter Gauthier. Leo Carlson, Mason McTavish, Jackson LaCombe. Now, (Pavel) Mintyukov, (Owen) Zellweger, they’re nonetheless fairly younger, they usually’ve obtained methods to develop, however they’re going to be up for contracts. They simply signed (Lukas) Dostal to an extension.

And what somebody identified to me is, if all these guys hit, and a number of the forwards look actually good, abruptly, the Geese are going to have some huge cash dedicated to some actually good younger gamers.
Now, , Verbeek can at all times attempt to bridge, however the one factor I’ve constantly heard over the past short time is, I heard they’re not loopy about bridging McTavish. Now, perhaps that’ll change. Perhaps they’ll do it, however I’ve heard that they like long-term, and I can nonetheless see, if you wish to do long-term, what’s that? Six years? Like quite a lot of these younger gamers are doing, seven years, eight years. Like, abruptly, you’re moving into fairly massive numbers.
So, I don’t have the reply but on to what’s going to occur on this one. I don’t assume they need to commerce him. However I’ve heard they’re not loopy a couple of bridge deal. May not be straightforward for the 2 sides to agree on an extended projection.”
