Marek: “Okay, another word is too big and Bruce Garrioch has been talking about this in his columns. And that's Linus Ullmark and the Boston Bruins. “

Friedman: “Yes.”

Marek: “We know that Ottawa wants to hit the net. I mean, listen, I think there are a lot of teams, you mean Toronto…”

They were in (Jacob) Markstrom. They entered Markstrom. “

Marek: “Enter Markstrom. I think a lot of teams, I think Columbus probably wants to make the net here. I just talked about Utah. We believe that they will also want to play the net.

Ullmark and the Ottawa Senators. Is there steam in here?”

Friedman: “Oh, there's smoke. Like Ottawa was there for him at the deadline. And it didn't work. I, I felt that those at that time, those are really complicated conversations.

Marek: “Of course.”

Friedman: “That's how it is. I just heard that Ottawa got in but I just heard that they promise a lot and sometimes it happens, they don't get in until late at night. And it couldn't happen then.

So I have no doubt that they are back. Ottawa is really looking for goals. Like I said they got into Markstrom. They were waiting, I'm sure they were working on any keeper available here.

You know, the next thing I read Bruce's column, I realized by asking that. It would be fun because, like I said, goal traders don't usually do much, do they? So I don't blame Boston for asking. We'll see what happens here.

I think Ottawa has a few things they are looking at. I know there were reports of something with Philly. I think that might depend on who is available in the seventh pick because if you like, if Philly has someone they really like there might be something on the table there.

But I have no doubt that Ottawa is interested in Ullmark. I don't think Boston is going to make that easy. “
