Friedman: “And I don’t think I’m alone here, I know I was very bold about it. How I feel about this, and that’s the thing I’m always keen on, because as Isiah Thomas once told me when I started working, about a draft, everyone lies. Everyone has an agenda. .and I am always keen on that.
But I think the Kings made this interesting. One of the most recent podcasts I said I think is on this. I think they leaned in too hard, and I think they made it clear to Winnipeg.
If they don’t bid, they’ve basically told Winnipeg, we’re in and we’re ready to make this work. we will see.
At first, I talked about Rangers, Minnesota, and I don’t think you’re wrong, I don’t demean my co-host. I do not like that. But I think the Kings play a big part in this now.”
Marek: “I put Tampa and Dallas in there, too. You want to get rid of those two while you’re at it.”

Marek: “What I was doing there was talking about the teams I think Dubois would be willing to go for.”
