Juxtaposer
Outro: Divina Comedia
What do you mean?
EDIT: Okay, I'm listening to it and first of all, my takeaway of what was transcribed hasn't changed, so you're still going to have to explain what you mean. However, only about half of the audio is actually transcribed.
Here's a synopsis of the rest:
- Feels he has players with the Barracuda that can have a Guentzel/Sheary/Rust type of impact with the Sharks.
- Mentioned Pavelski as someone who just needed "rest from a long season", so I think we can officially rule out a major injury for him.
- Says he expects a dominant year next year from Couture and Hertl.
- Alluded to some people from Stanford who do some sort of secret work (probably analytics). Wasn't super clear.
- Praised all the ex-Sharks in the org (Sundstrom, Nabby, Ricci, Marchment).
- Feels we'll get a good player at 19th overall "if we remain there". Comments that this may not be a high-end draft, but that it's deep in the first round. Alludes to the gap between our 1st and our next pick; my impression is that DW will seriously consider moving down to acquire more picks.
- Lists a dozen guys who we got as undrafted UFAs as successes.
- Agrees with the suggestion that this may be a forward-heavy draft (which I honestly have not heard anywhere until now). Mentions that it's good we have puck-movers like Jeremy Roy (whom he expects to come back healthy) in the system. Mentions Ryan, Heed, Simek, and Mueller by name as well. Does not name Bergman.
- Asked if re-signing vs. letting go of Thornton and Marleau may be more than a hockey decision; in terms of marketing, etc. Kind of hedges his answer but re-iterates that we're under a cap system but that whatever happens he has a ton of respect for them and what they've done for the franchise and that it'll be a tough decision and "we'll see", that sort of stuff.
- Thinks Vegas can be good.
