Michael Russo, speaking on the Talk North Podcast, said he was 100% certain of the deal. He was able to confirm it through his sources and “saw the deal.” He said it was Frolik and a pick for Zucker.

Russo also took a very dim view on the deal from a Minnesota perspective, calling the return for Zucker “garbage”, so I’m not 100% convinced the pick was the 1st rounder. Friedman, on 31 thoughts, just said it was a high pick. For all we know, high pick could mean 1st rounder, but it could also mean 2020 2nd rounder. Who knows?

Russo also said he will figure out why the deal never got sent to Central Registry when he is in Calgary for Saturday’s game. I don’t know how, but he said he was certain he’d be able to figure it out.

Episode 184 of the Talk North Podcast at about the 6:58 and 24:30 mark if others want to listen...
