In the last week or so, Elliott Friedman, who I would compare to...

who I would compare it to say is he is the Adam Schefter of National Hockey League Insiders at Sportsnet, which is very similar in a lot of ways to what ESPN is here in the States.

And I'm just going to read you a couple of things that Friedman reported on 32 Thoughts that got aggregated.

But it's not inflammatory aggregation.

It's just real stuff.

He said, I think that the Wild might have tried this as far as getting Volstead once already.

We all know the Wild are going to try to get another player, probably a center.

We're all sitting there saying, what is Bill Guerin going to use?

I think Volstead might be the guy.

And then he added, someone said to me, if it happens, you'll understand why.

Very, very, very juicy.

Very juicy.

What is your, Jess, we'll start with you.

What is your reaction to what has definitely turned into a story now?

So Friedman said, just quick, Jess, what intrigues me about this and where I think that this could take a very...

interesting and as jesse said juicy turn is friedman said someone said to me if it happens you'll understand why that to me does not indicate a hey we got vinnie trochak it's great we got vinnie trochak look at what we did and and look he's a fine player i i would take him in a trade um but

But this to me says there is something going on of a player we're not talking about and is not like actively being listed on on the athletics top 40 trade suspects or top.

So what do we think this is?

And I know that age has has a theory here, but like what do we think?

This is an age.
