Now that we see a few of these numbers within the AAV are available, what do you assume a man, perhaps the most important fish now nonetheless on the market, Nikolaj Ehlers. What do you assume his quantity is available in at?

Like I believe he might do 9, 9 and a half on the open market. No query about it. All issues being equal. And we’ll see the place he finally ends up.
However one of many issues I’ve type of been listening to, Jamison is that he would possibly shave {that a} bit to go to a staff that has an opportunity to win.
I do know, like with Marner, Vegas was my staff till I used to be confirmed incorrect. And it’s like, every now and then, , Chipmunk finds acorn. Like I discovered this. I acquired that one proper.
My staff with Ehlers till I’m confirmed incorrect is, is Carolina. And so we’ll see what occurs tomorrow. However I might see Ehlers taking just a little bit much less with the Hurricanes, and he might do elsewhere, as a result of he thinks he simply has a greater probability to win there.”
