- showed a lot of love for Lindy and Backs
- lots of admiration for Treliving
- never once thought about going to Ottawa. Scoffed at the idea
- Robert Thomas tried to recruit him to the Blues
- Parents place in Florida is over an hour from his place but great to be closer to them
- discussed his exit in Calgary and how he felt good about the way it went down
- mentioned dinner with Bennett last season where Sam gushed about the lifestyle and team
- mentioned a couple of chats with Sutter. Definitely got the impression there wasn’t a lot of love there but that is my interpretation
I recommend a listen if you have 35 minutes to spare

One thing that also stuck out to me was him saying he knows guys on the Bluejackets and that they seem more excited that Johnny is gonna be on their team than Johnny does being there
