how difficult has it been you said you'd
accept trade for the best the team
obviously nothing has happened as yet
how difficult has it been for you well I
mean it's uh you know it's been a little
bit of the unknown for you know most of
the summer I think you know I pretty
much stand the same work when I left off
you know I said that you know i'd be
willing to lift my notary closet fast
and you know so far Ivan Tedesco I'm
here with the guys I'm happy to be here
today I think it's a you know it's a
great day to raise money for charity and
get to spend some time with the boys so
you know it's good you haven't been
formally asked or informally asked about
I don't even know what that means
haven't asked I'd like to see the
situation get resolved sooner than later
I mean obviously we all want to know
what what the future holds i think but
you know sometimes these things take
longer than others i mean i don't think
it's it's the worst thing in the world
you know like i said just a few seconds
ago I mean I got some great friends on
the team lots of respect for the
organization and I've had some great
times here so I mean there's no
animosity whatsoever and you know Mike's
got to do his thing and you know I'm
here and I'm enjoying my time your mind
is this thing being held up by the CVA
I don't know I mean it's tough to say
I'm sure maybe it has something to do
with that you know when they want to see
what happens and stuff like that but you
know for me mostly i think it's it's
about you know just getting ready to
play I can't really be a focused on you
know what's going to happen down the
road because we don't know things change
a lot in this business you know I want
to make sure that no matter what happens
I'm ready and contributing you know the
best way I can it's great is that the
investment greatest done are you
prepared to play here for the season
yeah i mean like i said i'm just getting
ready like any other normal season
you're working hard as a to prepare to
play and whether that's here or
somewhere else you know i'm gonna make
the most out of it you know I've always
said I want to put the team ahead of me
and I don't want to become a distraction
so I want to come here to work be a good
teammate you know and like I said I mean
I got a lot of good friends on this team
so it's going to make that a a much
easier for me feel different or just
being in this situation coming back
because you know it's better uh wha I
mean like I said I think the fact that
you know I have a lot of good friends on
the team you know even in the staff and
the coaching staff and organization it
makes a lot easier for me to be here and
you know that's why I'm here today and
didn't really hesitate in deciding
whether i should come or not it was a
mention of a five-team list reports of
the five you may see mentioned florida
last week explicitly what about Toronto
I've never I've never given the list of
teams and as far as that side of the
business is concerned I think it's I
mean leave that more up to Mike through
this thing and I don't really want to be
talking about any other Kings right now
i think i'm here with that coover and
you know i think it's a bit you know
disrespectful towards my teammates and
the organization could be talking about
other places
