So what is that this leaning in the direction of? Perhaps a one-year deal. I don’t know. However we’re going to watch this.
Taylor: “What’s attention-grabbing about that, if I could? Ethan Bear is right-handed.”
Dhaliwal: “Sure”
Taylor: “Tyler Myers, some questions on him as nicely with the 12 months left on his contract.”
Dhaliwal: “Sure”
Taylor: “Proper-handed defenseman. They only acquired a right-handed defenseman. Filip Hronek, who you’d assume if every thing works out, goes to eat up lots of ice time. So, attention-grabbing instances for right-handed defensemen.”
Dhaliwal: “And Ethan Bear’s okay with a one-year take care of Vancouver after which he walks into UFA standing, which is essential. If you happen to’re going to purchase UFA years it’s costly. That’s that.
