Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey P.D.O.cast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Ditra Filipovich and joining me is my good buddy, Steve

Warrior. Steve, what's going on in? Hey, Dimitri, how are you? I'm good. We got a lot to talk about

today. We have some recent news that we're going to tackle from a front office organizational perspective.

And then after we get through that, I want to get into some of the teams.

You know, we're in the Olympic roster freeze now. But when we come back from the Olympics, we're going to be in this two-week sprint, essentially, towards the trade deadline. And I want to start thinking about that a little bit. So we're going to discuss some teams who are approaching interesting decisions at this year's deadline. and then even fast forwarding to this summer

in terms of what they're going to have to kind of figure out

how they're going to approach it. decisions at this year's deadline. And then even fast forwarding to this summer in terms of

what they're going to have to kind of figure out how they're going to approach it. And we're

going to break all of that down using your extensive expertise behind the scenes, working

within an organization. Let's start with the Rangers, because that's obviously on the forefront

of everyone's minds. We got the resolution to the Artemipan trade saga this week. Now, I've got Harmon coming on later today to break down the fit

from the LA perspective, what it's going to look like for the Kings, all that good stuff. So check

the Patreon feed for that later today. With you, I wanted to get into the Ranger's side specifically

in terms of how this played out the way chris

jury managed it and handled it and then the particular timing of it all and i think that's a good

starting point for this conversation in terms of it happening now right on the eve or final minutes

essentially before the roster freeze kicked in as opposed to extending it into the future of utilizing the Olympic break to either kind of fish around and poke around, maybe see if you can extract more values, see if the situation and circumstances can change.

And then if it doesn't, ultimately just circling back to the offer that the Kings presented, why do you think the

Rangers went this route in terms of just getting their business done now?

Do you think it was as simple as not having it hanging over them, being able to move on to other

business situations?
