Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PDOCast.

My name is Demetra Filipovich.

And joining me is my good buddy, Steve Wareer.

Steve, what's going on, man?

Let's get to finally have you on the show.

Hey, Dimitri, great to be here.

Looking forward to this.

This is going to be fun.

So for those that are unfamiliar with your work,

and I think a lot of people listening to this show probably are. You're the former AGM of the Panthers connected to the infamous computer boys era, which was

And we had fun out there. I'm excited to have you on because I want to talk about sort of back then,

of course, your role with team, the breadth of the job. But I think for our purposes today,

and maybe of more interest to our fan base and our listeners, is just talking to you about

the trade deadline. It's sort of perfect timing. I've been trying to get you on the show for a while

now. We finally made the schedules work and connect.

And with this week's trade deadline looming, I thought it'd be cool to get a little bit

of a behind the scenes peek at the process of the trade deadline from the team perspective

within the building, kind of how the stages all line up, how it all comes together,

because I'm sure listeners are very

interested in all that, but we get so little meaningful access in this regard, right? Everyone
