An article in a french newspaper as translated by google.
JP heard about the Toffoli acqusition and raced to find out if he was part of the return.
Quote:
"When I saw that, I still made the leap," Pelletier acknowledged in a telephone interview with the Journal. I didn't think it was to arrive almost a month before the trade deadline. I wanted to know the return for Toffoli. I don't think I'm completely immune to a trade, especially when your team gets a big name.
"I don't have a transaction clause. I couldn't wait to see what the Flames were giving for Toffoli. »
Pelletier did not investigate whether CH had expressed interest in his services.
"I didn't ask my agent [Olivier Fortier], he replied. It doesn't concern me too much. I have no control over that. Whether I was in the discussions or not, I don't need to know. I know the Flames like me and have plans for me.
"I've never had any information from the Flames that it's possible for them to trade him," Fortier said. I do not know if he was part of the discussions, but I can imagine that the Canadian raised his name. Jakob is a very good hope. The Flames love him very much.
"I met with the Flames last Friday in Stockton to talk about Jakob's future. It is really part of the team's plans. He has a good chance of making the jump next year in Calgary. »
