AJ Fredrickson

Like he's not going to do you all that great sitting on the bench behind Gustafson.

Granted, if he's in the game and he's, you know, shutting out,

Dallas in the first round and that's one thing but I the one I want to see them almost take away the decision that we've seen in past years where

And granted, I think this was under maybe Dean Everson or Bruce Boudreaux's final season where it's like, you've got two really good tenders.

What's the plan there?

Do you feel like you need to go back and forth?

I'm okay with you just forcing yourself into a hole and saying, this is our best guy.

No matter how he's playing, we're going to go with him in the playoffs.

And then whatever you get in return is on the ice.

But if they don't make a trade or something like that, and they have Jesper Wallstead into the playoffs,

And a report comes out that the biggest name that they maybe were searching out there and the biggest name that was in the mix was like a Vinny Trocek or less.

I absolutely can live with them not making a trade for them.

The list for trading Jesper Wallstedt for an actual name is of the guys available.

I think it's Robert Thomas and then some of the unexplored names that haven't been necessarily on the market, which is why the element Elliot Friedman quote is just so intriguing.

At this point, it does.

And happy birthday to Ek, by the way.

His body is approximately 62 today.

He was in.

He was the wild first round selection in the Caprizov draft.

He was drafted in the same draft as Connor McDavid.
