On this episode, we take on the three biggest topics on the 5th Line's mind: Adam Fantilli, Kirill Marchenko, and Training Camp. Unfortunately, we spend a lot more time talking about the first two…
Laura NormanHost
Jeremy PaulHost
And that's the things like we, I think it may be played in a prospect tournament in Detroit.
But I think, again, the thing that everybody... is talking about in fifth line is what is happening when it comes to things like Adam Fantilli, Karel Marchenko, and all of that coupled in with the news that Mike Priest is retiring and making way for John H. McConnell II to fill a role similar to the Mike Priest role.
Laura, Adam Fantilli is still not signed heading into training camp day number five exhibition match, right? Like first one happening today as we're recording.
So not really sure really where things go from here, but, uh, obviously there are so many reports about what could be happening.
You know, it seems as if based on reporting from things and areas like, uh, 32 thoughts, uh, you know, Elliot Friedman and sports net also Aaron ports line, a lot of really good writers are, and journalists are in on this stuff, but yeah, Not really a lot of progress being made.
Both sides seem pretty stuck on a number, and it doesn't seem like that number is really changing with the urgency of the season being only about 11 days away.
So, Laura, what do you make of all of this? I know when we released our episode in August, you had said that you would start panicking about this if he didn't have a contract by September 1st.
Well, as we record on September 20th, I have to imagine that you're not doing all too great with it.
But, like, I don't think the Blue Jackets thought that it was going to go this long.
And that's the things like we, I think it may be played in a prospect tournament in Detroit.
