And a lot of the players have moved.

I think there's 10 players left from that team, which is crazy because it doesn't seem like it's been out really that long ago.

It's just a story a ton of people have moved on from.

There were reports that there's some other act that Babcock did here that was worse than the cell phone privacy invasions.

And again, being honest with you, I have zero proof of any of that.

And this isn't me holding back and not saying something I don't know.

I have not been able to unearth anything that would fit that criteria.

So he is the name...

Yes, that has come up, but I can't put this on him.

And again, I'm not holding back.

I seriously am not.

It's been so quiet line he's moved on.

He's on the other side of the world right now, not responding to messages, or at least my messages.

Right.

I've asked, yeah, and he hasn't responded, which is by all means is right, especially in June.

I think the feeling among a lot of these guys is to just,

rear view mirror this yeah um so but maybe it's a story that in in five ten years when guys start to move on retire uh care less about what other people in the league think about them maybe it will come out maybe there is some other stuff here but but uh yeah i'm not uh i'm certainly not withholding any juicy tidbit that just can't be confirmed it's pretty quiet

Yeah, so as I can say at this point, it does not appear that he has asked for a trade.

And it's murky out there.

The Blue Jackets have not been told, to my knowledge directly, that he is not going to extend.
