Okay, I want to go to the broadsheet here.

And first of all, I want to mention, we didn't really talk about this, but I guess it was a couple days ago now, Shang Pang, who is...

A long-time San Jose Sharks reporter mentioned, I believe, on a podcast that he'd heard that Marcus Pedersen might be interested or want to trade out of Vancouver.

And then I know Rick Dollywell had the quote from Marcus Pedersen's agent saying basically, no, no truth to it.

100% love being in Vancouver.

Shengpeng was on Canucks Central with Sat and Bic yesterday.

And I really appreciated his response because it was basically, he was like, I've covered a lot of losing San Jose Sharks teams.

And you know what?

Good veteran players, you know what they want to do in that situation?

They want to go elsewhere.

Doesn't mean they're necessarily going to come out and make a public trade request, but you hear things, and he's basically said that was the talk around the combine that Marcus Pedersen wanted out.

But I just think, even divorcing it from the specifics of Marcus Pedersen, that baseline of...

good veteran players are going to be at the very least open to trades despite their no move clause should really be how we view things.

And obviously this comes up most with Philip Ronick and you always hear this like, Oh, no interest in playing anywhere other than Vancouver.

It's like, are you sure about that?

Also, you're telling me like Anaheim, zero media attention and a great young team and warm weather would hold zero appeal.

Dallas tax-free state, warm weather would hold zero appeal chance to win.

Like,

Vegas, if they decide they don't like Rasmus Anderson anymore and are in the market, you're telling me that would hold zero appeal.

Nope.
