Kyle Bukauskas: “Okay, (the Ottawa Senators) win Thursday. You mentioned them as a team looking to hit a home run by way of adding. So, how big a home run are we talking here?
Friedman: “It goes back to what we talked about when they signed Pinto, right Kyle? Like I think they see this as their window now, and I think they would like to, and I think they would like to add on the blue line and or up front with the best they can get. And we’ll see what that all means.
This kid, they called up, (Stephen) Halliday’s interesting. Like he was, I saw some people who, I was talking to some people who’d seen him play, and they said he was really, he was really pushing. Like, this is a guy who earned this call up, and he had a really nice play on, on one of their goals and beating the Ducks.

But I just think, like, Carolina, they did it last year with Rantanen. They took that swing at a big player, and everybody knows they’re kind of like, ‘okay, when’s the next try we can make with that? We’d like to do that.’ You know, you just ask around, and I think Ottawa is a team that kind of out there. Like, if there’s something big available, I think they would love to try. I think they really would.
And like I said, it goes back to what we talked about with Pinto, their window is now. It’s now. And whether you think they’re ready for it or not, their window is now. And I think they see that too as an organization.
