Bukauskas: “May I ask about Brock Boeser, who is entering the final year of his contract, or is it too early for that?
Friedman: “You know, it's interesting. Like, again, this was an episode of Iain McIntyre and Patrick Allvin. They said, you know, 'we'll see, we'll see how this plays out.'

And I, I, (producer Dominic Sramaty) just sent a message that the level of doom and gloom could only be Jason Brough. I know you are listening. I can't think. I can't wait to hear your reaction to that. Not Jason Brough, Dom, but a Jason Brough-like personality that doesn't exist in the media. So my friend there. That's funny, though, because that's the kind of person you can think of.
You know, I think the thing about Boeser, you know, they challenged him. I will say there is also about Patrik Allvin. I don't know him like I know Jim Rutherford, and it's not like Jim Rutherford and we're best friends or anything. That he has been around for a long time, and you have faced him.
Like Patrik Allvin, one thing I'm learning about him is that he's not afraid to be blunt. As he basically said to Boeser, 'give us another level, and we'll take care of you.' And so now the challenges for Boeser to go to another level, and I think he's going to respond to that, you know, very well.

You know, I, I think Boeser has a big year, because I think the best athletes like to be challenged. You know, sometimes in life we want to be free, and sometimes in life we want to be challenged. And I don't think the Vancouver Canucks would have done this if they didn't think Boeser was on top of it. You don't give that quote to Ian McIntyre in the Canadian market with, because, you know, it's all inclusive. without realizing that he thinks Boeser can deliver. So I think you have a senior year, and you're done.
