First 90 secondsDean Molberg· Host0:00
[upbeat music] We were kicking around with Jason Robertson. We hear, uh, you know, h- Elliot had the thing. It's- Yeah ... eight years, 15, Seattle, no, I'm not gonna sign it, trade is off.

Yeah.
Darren Dreger· Guest1:14
So, I, I mean, it's hard to imagine that Robertson needs more money than that. It's hard to imagine that.
Dean Molberg· Host1:19
Mm-hmm.
Darren Dreger· Guest1:19
So it has to break down to Robertson, you know, just not seeing the, the fit that he needs to sign that contract and commit to the Seattle Kraken for a lengthy
