32 Thoughts: The Podcast · Robertson-less in Seattle · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

I promised to do this and I,

I always keep my promise.

So, yeah, it's been a pretty busy few days and it stays busy, I'm sure, until the time we get to the draft and maybe throughout the first round at least.

But it's been exciting as well.

Yeah, I don't think the decision, the timing of the decision really shows how much work we put into arriving at the decision.

So we talked pretty much for a year about possibility to extend the contract and even before I started as a GM.

We had made offers when Kevin Adams was here and continued to do that throughout the year.

We had a dialogue open.

And then, you know, at some point we decided that let's go back at it after the season.

And we did.

And it didn't work out.

And he wanted to get a change of scenery.

So then we got what we could as compensation for the sign and trade.

Bo Byram, same thing.

Last year when he signed a two-year contract, we were under the impression that that's all he wanted and that would take him to the unrestricted free agency.

He had told us back then already that he wanted to be a number one defenseman and that's why he didn't want to sign long-term.

Tried to convince him all year to reconsider getting into the July 1 here now that we could have extended him and would have and wanted to extend him

But he didn't want to do that.

So that left us no option but to make the trade, which we did.

And we're happy with the return right now.
