I mean, I don't have any inside information, so I'm just giving my opinion based on reading everything that's happened, Bob.

Why would they?

Why would they go through all this rigmarole and then be like, no, okay, fine, you can talk to them?

Like, literally, it is not a distraction.

That was total BS.

All due respect to Kelly McCrimmon, like, it's easy to say yes or no.

Sign a piece, whatever you got to do.

It is such BS while we're focused on the playoffs.

But it's such garbage.

So they don't want to do it because of the competitive implications of doing it.

That doesn't change after, you know, this scenario happens.

that plays out in Vegas, whether they move on or don't.

So if they do eventually grant permission and the Oilers are allowed to talk to them, I'll almost respect them less.

I'll almost be like, what?

All of that for what?

Why?

Because you were mad at the league?

Or because you were being petulant?

So honestly, if they all of a sudden pull an about face and are like, okay, yeah, now you can.

Like, what are you doing?
