“And our last pod, Kyle, one other player we talked about for Toronto was Jack Roslovic. He’s still unsigned. I’ve heard there’s still just a few teams him, and you understand he’s the most effective available player remaining.
And clearly, he hasn’t found anything he 100% likes, but there’s definitely just a few teams poking around there. I’ve heard 5 – 6. So he has to get to something he’s comfortable with. And we all know with Toronto, they’re attempting to move money around.”

“You realize, persons are all the time asking, Are there any, you understand, trade talk this summer? Obviously been Pittsburgh has been around it. I don’t think there’s anything imminent there on any file, although it may possibly all the time change with one phone call. It’s summer like, you understand, persons are attempting to chill out just a little bit. And I’m assuming that things are going to heat up later in the summertime, in some unspecified time in the future in all these particular situations.
You realize, the one thing I believe that has been news in Pittsburgh quite a bit, has been the opportunity of the Ron Burkle, Mario Lemieux group, and whether or not they’re going to return back and buy the Penguins. And I can understand why the Penguins fans can be enthusiastic about the opportunity of Lemieux. He’s a God there, and every part he touches turn to gold.
However the only thing I’ve heard about that to this point is that they’re just, you understand, well below what Fenway would need to be the number. Should you take a have a look at it, the Lightning just sold, I do know the Penguins sold for what $900 (million) and the Lightning sold for around $1.8 (billion). I got to think that that’s where the Penguins would need to be. And I just, from what I understand, that bit is just not near that at this cut-off date. So we’ll see where else it goes. I mean, that’s a story that probably doesn’t go away for some time.

You realize, also with Pittsburgh, you understand Nick, Nick Robertson. I had a pair people ask me about the opportunity of Nick Robertson in Pittsburgh, simply because, obviously, Kyle Dubas knows him.”
