00:00the rangers were reportedly in on quinn hughes but to the extent of how
00:07legit it was who's going to give a package like that yeah that was a great no one no one could
00:15come the rangers certainly couldn't come close to that um but logistically even if they could
00:21i don't know how that was going to work out with adam fox you know locked in here for as long as
00:28he is and you know what are you going to put adam fox on the second power play unit i mean they'd
00:32make it work i'm sure they would make it work but i mean some of the names that i've seen out there
00:39that made sense that the canucks were interested in alexei lafreniere his former agent is the
00:45assistant gm there emily brayden schneider apparently vancouver has been high on him since the miller
00:51trade um yeah they didn't want a right shot they wanted to let they really wanted a left shot
00:57defenseman so you'd think even you know across the river namich's name was coming up mercer
01:02um two guys without trade protection there's every guy in jersey pretty much has trade protection which
01:10i didn't realize yes it's why that's been a that's been a headline poor tom fitzgerald is
01:16his business is getting i i'll defend fitzy i mean everybody thrown out there in plain terms i mean
01:23build whatever team you want if half of them are hurt you're not going to win so i can't like
01:26he can't control that yeah i mean but yeah it was it was really wild i thought weeks before any deal
01:34would get done and it just got done and i was like that's so cool friday night was a friday night
01:39it was a friday night there's nothing the national hockey league loves more than a friday night
01:45blockbuster news dump trade
01:46um but i also i mean there was there was a ton of uh reports about how you know hughes and his camp
01:55made it very clear that they they weren't going to give any team an insurance an assurance of of
02:00extending so you know for the rangers to shell out what they would have had to have shelled out
02:07to get quinn hughes for perhaps a year and a half of quinn hughes where it's not even 100 sure if
02:14they're going to even make the playoffs right now just doesn't make a lot of sense though
02:19you
