Friedman: “I believe that is the time we’re going to search out out if there’s something to it. That, you recognize, there’s been loads of speak, I ponder media day if Brock Nelson simply disappears. Go into it, goes into witness safety, like Homer Simpson sporting the WPP shirt and the WPP hat and simply refusing to speak to any of us.
However I do assume that is the time that the Islanders are going to take their, their actual run at it. Lou Lamoriello has advised groups that they need to signal him. They need to signal him. It’s so arduous to know the reality with him, as a result of a) he doesn’t give it away, and b) out of respect for the individuals who take care of him, don’t say a lot.

However I believe we’ll get some readability over the following week or so on whether or not or not, you recognize he’s, he’s going to be available on the market or there’s any probability of him staying.
