David Amber: “Elliotte’s hair has been on fire as there is a lot going on. Let’s start with the biggest fish to fall. That’s Timo Meier.
Three-time 30 goal scorer. 31 goals this year. He’s leaving the Sharks and joining the Devils. The newest New Jersey Devil. What can you tell us Elliotte?”
Friedman: “Look, I think there is a little bit of a hang-up here. I think, one of, it sounds like there is an injury concern that’s just kind of holding up the final deal.
I don’t want to guess on the names just in case..”
Amber: “But it’s a done deal?”
Friedman: “No, it’s not a done deal. I think that because. What I was told, I think there’s one player who’s a little banged up that is involved in this. I think they’re trying to sort their way through it.
