Emma Peschel

And, you know, the reason that there wasn't.

really any concern or I never felt like this was that big of a deal is you know I remember talking to Pascal Daou at Emma Peschel's introductory press conference in July and the Casey O'Brien contract came up and Pascal said verbatim we're gonna have her back for sure That's a guarantee from a general manager.

GMs don't talk like that unless they know for sure because if you make a statement like that and it doesn't happen, I mean, talk about egg on your face, that's a fireable offense to make a statement like that and have it not happen.

So I don't think you'd get away with making a statement like that if you weren't supremely confident that we're in a great spot, we know we're going to get a deal done, and it's just a matter of time.

I'll tease it here.

I'm going to have a more fleshed-out episode down the stretch.

Casey O'Brien and Emma Peschel both invited... to be on at least USA's training camp roster right now for Worlds, and they're going to have a chance to maybe work their way onto...

It's a 25-player roster for Worlds, so two more roster spots than the Olympics.
