This is the Jeff Merrick Show on the Sports Net Radio Network.

It is Wednesdays.

It is Wednesday, rather.

But on Wednesdays, we have MVSW Reducks with our man Greg

Shinsky from the ESPN. We're ranking gold tenders today but also plenty of grist for the mill in a couple of moments.

He has never held out for trade-related reasons, never

scratch for trade-related reasons. Either he's untouchable or nobody wants him.

He is Greg Wasinski from E-SPN. How are you wish?

I was laughing the other day when

somebody bought up the chikrin thing and they're like they're like is this

fair for him? Is it fair to do this to Jacob chikrin and I'm like okay so here's a guy that has

you have to not work yeah I'm pretty sure he's okay. Okay with paying that toll. Like, we're gonna... That's the one... That's the one thing that I keep coming back to in all this because I think this

conversation like I think it's a conversation with the NHL and the Players Association

You know the n h h h h h hl p a doesn't make roster decisions for the n h hl clubs

But the reason why I'm fine with it with players like Jacob Chickorn is they've asked to leave

Okay, so if there's an official trade request I'm fine with holding the player out. What I don't like is we've decided to trade you, you don't have one of these fancy no trade or no move clauses,

but we're going to move you by deadline, so we're holding you out. That one doesn't sit well with me. If the players

asked for it, no problem. But if the player hasn't asked for when you just decide

I'm sitting on this asset and so you're not going to play. I don't know I kind of

look sideways at that one wish. And it's such a weird arbitrary thing too like you
