Sam, thanks very much for doing this. I hope it wasn't too painful.

0:03.3

I would have been the little delay at the beginning. It was all good.

0:09.1

Okay, Elliot, as we record this podcast, it is 10.33 a.m. Eastern on Thursday morning.

0:15.7

New York Rangers, David Quinn, his staff outside of Benoit Alair, who stays.

0:22.7

What has Chris Jury done this week? What is Chris Jury going to do?

0:26.2

The remainder of this offseason for the Rangers?

0:28.9

Well, I think what Chris Jury is going to do is they're doing their research on candidates, right?
