He's a really good prospect, really good player.

Seems like a really good kid, too.

I would take that player and worry about Manny later.

If I had to, but I didn't have plenty of time to sort this out between now and the draft.

Except that you deal with everyone maturely and explain everything.

I think you could take Manny and explain that to him.

and say it affects your son's status.

Let's wait and see what happens.

You can have that conversation.

But I think you're right.

I think it's a very dangerous, it's very hard to put the kid in that spot too if his dad's a coach.

I'm sure I have, but I can't recall them right away.

You got to ask me, Jeff, you can't ask me hard questions without a buildup.

I'm sure there is.

Well, the questions I would have to start with are, one, I believe in Keith Pelley.

I like him.

I've worked with him in the past, not directly, but when I was at TSN.

I really like Keith Pelley.

I think he'll get this right.

I don't like the way some of the interviews are being handled.
