However I’ll say I requested just a few individuals about Karlsson, and both they informed me they’re not beneath the impression he’s obtainable, or, I believe in at the very least one or two circumstances they requested and had been informed no. They didn’t come proper out and say it, however the type of method they talked about it made me really feel it that method. So once more, like I don’t, I don’t suppose it’s unattainable that there would possibly solely be 10 or 15 guys on this league which can be fully untouchable. However I requested round about Karlson, and simply the individuals I converse to, they informed me that they had both no indication Vegas was prepared to do it, or had been particularly informed Vegas wasn’t doing it.

I do know they actually just like the participant, as a result of there was a time some time in the past I heard one thing, and I checked in on it, and I used to be informed that they actually preferred the participant. So that you, so once more, I’m not saying it’s unattainable, however you’d have to indicate me what the scenario could be.”
