WEBVTT - Keaton Verhoeff is Ready: Breaking Down a Wild Week of Free Agency, Trades and Draft Picks. 0:00:04.552 --> 0:00:20.552 NHL Unscripted is a production of the NHL and iHeart podcasts. 0:00:20.992 --> 0:00:23.192 NHL and is stripped coming to you on Canada Day. 0:00:23.271 --> 0:00:23.672 That's right. 0:00:23.832 --> 0:00:25.831 That means Toal is gonna give us his draft all 0:00:25.912 --> 0:00:27.632 name team. Not sure if these guys can play, but 0:00:27.712 --> 0:00:29.952 the draft names are great, which reminds you of the draft. 0:00:29.952 --> 0:00:32.072 I covered rounds two through seven for Inchell Network with 0:00:32.072 --> 0:00:34.832 the great Lawrence Goldstein. As they walked into the studio today, 0:00:34.832 --> 0:00:36.872 Algie said to me Ivan Ivan, who is of course 0:00:36.912 --> 0:00:39.272 our favorite. Now the Boston Bruins gotta get an ive 0:00:39.272 --> 0:00:41.032 An Ivan jersey one of these days. The meantime handing 0:00:41.032 --> 0:00:42.952 out flyers to Alex Steam were of course recapping the 0:00:43.032 --> 0:00:45.192 draft and all the accident went down, and just a 0:00:45.232 --> 0:00:47.912 flurry of activity as it always is on Canada Day. 0:00:47.992 --> 0:00:50.832 Free agency. Lots of moves being made, nothing bigger than 0:00:50.912 --> 0:00:54.752 what about Bob Baby steps the bus, Baby steps over here, 0:00:54.792 --> 0:00:57.952 Sergey Lebowski going three years, the tournament beliefs as John 0:00:58.032 --> 0:01:00.432 Chika shaking things up, There's no doubt about it. Before 0:01:00.432 --> 0:01:01.952 we see anything further, though, tell I want to know 0:01:02.272 --> 0:01:04.952 our summer schedule. We were two days for the Cup final. 0:01:05.232 --> 0:01:06.832 When can I tell the us we're gonna be back. 0:01:06.952 --> 0:01:09.191 It's canadidate. When are we going to be back on unscripted. 0:01:10.312 --> 0:01:13.551 We'll know, we'll know, hopefully by the weekend. I think 0:01:13.592 --> 0:01:17.032 what'd likely do is every other week for the next 0:01:17.032 --> 0:01:18.551 of them, for the rest of the summer. 0:01:19.432 --> 0:01:20.831 It's going to be slow for the summer. 0:01:21.191 --> 0:01:23.152 Yeah, yeah, keeping it by, that's right. 0:01:25.512 --> 0:01:26.991 Just let me know when I got to calalk in. 0:01:27.312 --> 0:01:29.311 Just call me. I'll be on the golf course. 0:01:29.672 --> 0:01:31.032 Just just throw it in the chest. 0:01:31.072 --> 0:01:32.991 We'll poke you with a stick when we're ready for you. 0:01:33.112 --> 0:01:35.032 Yeah, just pull me with a stick to wake me up. 0:01:35.232 --> 0:01:37.191 I like that Huckleberry Finn. 0:01:39.512 --> 0:01:39.831 Today. 0:01:39.952 --> 0:01:42.072 So I mentioned Lebrowski three years, twenty one millions to 0:01:42.112 --> 0:01:45.631 the Leaves, Mason Marchman following in his late five years 0:01:45.991 --> 0:01:49.112 a deal, JD gets all the fields. Jacob Truba four 0:01:49.232 --> 0:01:53.752 years to San Jose, speaking of those Sharks, Jenner for yours, Andrews, 0:01:53.832 --> 0:01:56.952 Lady hutup, give me another Sharks ones thankfully to face only. 0:01:57.352 --> 0:02:00.112 Jaden Schwartz three years of Colorado and Matchicrella one year 0:02:00.152 --> 0:02:02.672 to la Let's start with the leaves, jad Yeah, you're 0:02:02.672 --> 0:02:05.511 soft on zook. A million bucks went up the leafs. 0:02:05.552 --> 0:02:07.952 I mean, listen, Schaika came in there. At the very least. 0:02:07.952 --> 0:02:09.871 He's gonna be aggressive. He's gonna make moves. He's not 0:02:09.992 --> 0:02:12.512 gonna be passive. So if you looked up as a 0:02:12.552 --> 0:02:13.871 Maine Leaves, I don't know how he would be throwing 0:02:13.912 --> 0:02:17.151 away to say, we got Gavin McKenna, who relishes the 0:02:17.232 --> 0:02:19.352 role of perhaps being the next Patrick Kane. Maybe he's 0:02:19.392 --> 0:02:21.392 forty goals, who knows, at some point in his career 0:02:21.472 --> 0:02:24.632 is expected to be an impact player. Austin Masthews seems thrilled. Hey, 0:02:24.672 --> 0:02:28.272 best defensemen available, Let's go get Darren Radish, seven year deal. Okay, 0:02:28.632 --> 0:02:30.431 as long as he's good for three to five. Who 0:02:30.512 --> 0:02:32.911 cares with the seven? This guy's sixty points, great shot, 0:02:32.952 --> 0:02:37.031 great pass, and then goaltenderise okay. Joseph Wall was hurt 0:02:37.031 --> 0:02:39.431 too much, Fine Arison brutal, get rid of him. He 0:02:39.472 --> 0:02:41.431 goes out with senators. Here's what we're gonna do. We're 0:02:41.431 --> 0:02:44.871 gonna get Bbroe Stellars are still there. But Stillars gets 0:02:44.912 --> 0:02:46.871 hurt a lot, maybe he gets flipped. He gets he's 0:02:46.912 --> 0:02:49.631 making three point five million, but you still got I 0:02:49.672 --> 0:02:52.392 can always pronounce this guy's name. Akim Off, the Russian goaltender, 0:02:52.392 --> 0:02:54.792 who can now tutor with Bebrovski, or you can have 0:02:54.871 --> 0:02:56.832 hilde be there as well, so you can keep hildeby 0:02:56.871 --> 0:02:59.072 who's cheap and trade starts bad for defense. 0:02:59.352 --> 0:03:01.232 They traded Hill to be Hill to be got traded. 0:03:01.952 --> 0:03:04.631 They traded Hill to be this ship's bananas. This is 0:03:05.112 --> 0:03:06.952 so that they traded him for the next ball. 0:03:07.672 --> 0:03:10.191 So still Art's is still there. But my point is this, 0:03:10.352 --> 0:03:12.952 but proxy, if I said to you JD three years, 0:03:12.992 --> 0:03:15.272 twenty one million dollars, how do you not jump at that? Again? 0:03:15.392 --> 0:03:17.311 I know he's tryed thirty eight this summer. I know 0:03:17.431 --> 0:03:19.151 this past season was a down year. It was it 0:03:19.192 --> 0:03:21.311 down here for many of the Panthers. I think it's 0:03:21.311 --> 0:03:22.792 I wouldn't say it's a steal, like he's got a 0:03:22.792 --> 0:03:24.752 semi millionaire and he's guys three thirty eight. But if 0:03:24.752 --> 0:03:25.992 you're me a police fan, you go, hey, we need 0:03:26.031 --> 0:03:29.672 a goaltender. You got Sergey Mabrovsky. Fantastic day for John Chika. 0:03:30.512 --> 0:03:33.471 Dude, John Chika, Like, I'm gonna try to go through 0:03:33.552 --> 0:03:37.632 this as we're walking. And they got Jack Roslovic, after 0:03:37.712 --> 0:03:40.952 they got Gavin McKenna. They went and got Nick Paul 0:03:41.032 --> 0:03:45.512 for hildeb They signed Brandon new Ham, They signed Teddy Blueger, 0:03:46.072 --> 0:03:50.071 Teddy Blueger, they signed Colton Sissons. That is a lot 0:03:50.192 --> 0:03:53.592 of very good signings and they already have you know, 0:03:53.672 --> 0:03:55.632 they got the McKenna, so they got their high end 0:03:55.712 --> 0:03:58.832 talent bringing in Bob Now with Stolars and Wool two 0:03:58.872 --> 0:04:01.512 goalies that get hurt. Now there's like this three headed 0:04:01.592 --> 0:04:04.992 monster that maybe you can now move on from Wool 0:04:05.072 --> 0:04:08.071 or Stolars. There's a potential there to maybe get something back. 0:04:08.672 --> 0:04:13.312 But anybody saying that he has he has not done 0:04:13.312 --> 0:04:15.832 a good job or hasn't at least made it a 0:04:15.992 --> 0:04:18.912 parent that he's trying to make this team competitive is 0:04:19.192 --> 0:04:22.712 high on crack cocaine. And I tell you what, I've 0:04:22.791 --> 0:04:25.712 loved everything he's done so far because they've addressed a 0:04:25.832 --> 0:04:28.352 lot of needs in the bottom six, which I think 0:04:28.512 --> 0:04:30.672 was important. They you know, they trade Nick robertson a 0:04:30.712 --> 0:04:33.192 way which even though he had sixteen goals, I think 0:04:33.231 --> 0:04:35.351 it was just time for him to move on. Chiker 0:04:35.472 --> 0:04:38.112 realized that I don't think any GM had realized that 0:04:38.192 --> 0:04:40.112 Nick Robinson needed to go move on. They get a 0:04:40.272 --> 0:04:42.872 fourth round pick for him, so everything they've done, I've 0:04:42.912 --> 0:04:43.511 really enjoyed. 0:04:44.032 --> 0:04:44.432 I like it. 0:04:44.552 --> 0:04:48.791 Listen, Brandon new Haim very underrated signing, so was Colton says. 0:04:48.832 --> 0:04:51.072 And so I'm liking what the Maple Leafs are doing 0:04:51.192 --> 0:04:54.272 right now. I'm liking it. I'm liking it towards it. 0:04:54.312 --> 0:04:56.712 I don't upset good. I know there's work to do. 0:04:56.791 --> 0:04:59.552 I know the defense still needs improvement. You bounce back seasons, 0:04:59.592 --> 0:05:02.392 but you still have youngish players Matthew Nie so they believe, 0:05:02.432 --> 0:05:03.952 and you still have your Matthews and your Kneelander, and 0:05:03.992 --> 0:05:07.111 now you're pouring that cast now with veteran players again. 0:05:07.112 --> 0:05:08.312 I don't know how you can't be happy for a 0:05:08.432 --> 0:05:08.791 Leafs fan. 0:05:09.791 --> 0:05:12.472 I mean it looked bleak after the season, and the 0:05:12.552 --> 0:05:15.552 way you described it, Jad he was perfect because it's 0:05:15.632 --> 0:05:18.472 just they added everything they needed and they've added then some. 0:05:18.592 --> 0:05:20.592 You know, when you've add a guy like Darren Radish too, 0:05:20.712 --> 0:05:23.552 like you have a number one d everything he can do. 0:05:23.712 --> 0:05:26.432 I mean you look at all the statistics, he was 0:05:26.512 --> 0:05:28.232 off the charts with that, and then you know, you 0:05:28.312 --> 0:05:32.312 look at their lines and you have basically you have 0:05:32.512 --> 0:05:36.311 every first, second, third line center. I mean Matthews plays 0:05:36.351 --> 0:05:39.952 in McKennon and Nyes and you have Nlander, Tavares and 0:05:40.112 --> 0:05:41.872 whoevery wan is slot on the second line. I mean, 0:05:42.032 --> 0:05:45.111 you have so many other players now Sissons, who's we've 0:05:45.312 --> 0:05:48.632 seen has been really really good in the playoffs for 0:05:48.752 --> 0:05:51.432 so many years in Nashville, now in Vegas. So that's 0:05:51.472 --> 0:05:53.272 a great ad for the Leafs. So I mean, this team, 0:05:53.712 --> 0:05:55.832 they went from looking like, all right, they're not going 0:05:55.872 --> 0:05:57.832 to make the playoffs next year to they're going to 0:05:57.912 --> 0:05:59.791 make the playoffs next year, you know, And that's. 0:05:59.752 --> 0:06:00.552 Oh I still like that. 0:06:00.712 --> 0:06:01.672 That's what they look like to me. 0:06:01.752 --> 0:06:05.152 Wow, Yeah, I think, I mean, and I think Bob. 0:06:06.312 --> 0:06:09.352 Bob had his worst year though. That's the one thing 0:06:09.512 --> 0:06:11.392 is like how much does he have left from the tank. 0:06:11.472 --> 0:06:14.112 But I think Bob's better when he's in. Like, uh, 0:06:14.472 --> 0:06:16.872 I think Tarasof wasn't good enough to carry the load 0:06:18.432 --> 0:06:21.672 all sexual puns aside. I just don't think he was 0:06:21.712 --> 0:06:25.032 good enough to carry the team and give Bob enough rest. 0:06:25.552 --> 0:06:28.392 But I think this team in Toronto will. And then 0:06:28.512 --> 0:06:30.872 just as we were talking, Mary Ferraro went to the Jets. 0:06:32.032 --> 0:06:35.432 I was hoping three by dude, he got he got 0:06:35.512 --> 0:06:39.192 fucking hooked. He got three by four, three years, four 0:06:39.272 --> 0:06:43.191 million year. It's a good deal, but not great. Vinnie 0:06:43.231 --> 0:06:44.312 d Hardenin had more of than them. 0:06:44.671 --> 0:06:46.632 Yeah, that's that's still god. 0:06:47.432 --> 0:06:51.552 I I like to see you should have if that's 0:06:51.832 --> 0:06:54.072 if that's the him out, Like, how was that more? 0:06:54.152 --> 0:06:54.351 Guys? 0:06:54.552 --> 0:07:00.351 Why would you m four point two five sad day franti? Anyway, 0:07:00.992 --> 0:07:02.191 this is fucking crazy. 0:07:02.632 --> 0:07:05.472 Here's this is our first app so since the draft 0:07:05.872 --> 0:07:08.272 and since the beginning of free agency. And again, if 0:07:08.272 --> 0:07:10.152 you're a least fit, you're happy. If you're a Sharks fan, 0:07:10.632 --> 0:07:15.192 I mean you're doing a moonwalk right now, saying sexual. 0:07:15.512 --> 0:07:18.472 You got Steenberg who eighteen years old, bug and player, 0:07:18.712 --> 0:07:20.032 like this guy is ready to go. He looked great 0:07:20.032 --> 0:07:22.312 in the Swedish league. He's ready. He might be playing 0:07:22.312 --> 0:07:26.032 with Celebraty Stemberg's in. You got these great young players players. 0:07:26.192 --> 0:07:29.592 You also get the number nine pick, fantastic. You also 0:07:29.712 --> 0:07:32.832 get Mason marshmen beforely mentioned and Jacob Truba. So like 0:07:32.872 --> 0:07:34.992 you're identifying the fact you need to improve your defense, 0:07:35.032 --> 0:07:37.272 you're doing so. You have a great young core. I'm 0:07:37.312 --> 0:07:39.232 just waiting for them to lock up Celebraty. Hey we 0:07:39.312 --> 0:07:42.552 got we get Mac done. Eight years, twelve min and 0:07:42.672 --> 0:07:44.872 Darnell Nurse as you and I said, nine point two 0:07:44.952 --> 0:07:46.552 five million. I know he's not worth that kind of money, 0:07:46.592 --> 0:07:48.952 but is he a serviceable defenseman? Absolutely, and he'd improve 0:07:48.992 --> 0:07:50.432 your defense. Well done. 0:07:51.072 --> 0:07:59.112 Now, before I, you know, reached my climax, no listen 0:07:59.632 --> 0:08:04.272 signed no no, but the Darnell and there signing, and 0:08:04.392 --> 0:08:06.152 I think people, you know, people are up in arms 0:08:06.232 --> 0:08:07.512 right now a little bit, being like, why are we 0:08:07.592 --> 0:08:11.631 paying Truba and Nurse? Again? You have to pay somebody. 0:08:12.432 --> 0:08:15.912 And at the end of the day, they're like, after 0:08:16.112 --> 0:08:20.352 this year, they're gonna have like fifty four million in 0:08:20.432 --> 0:08:23.472 cap space available. They have so much ore LOFs off 0:08:23.512 --> 0:08:27.312 the books, catures contracts off the books, they have a 0:08:27.392 --> 0:08:29.512 couple a few more guys. They have so much money 0:08:29.552 --> 0:08:34.271 coming off the books starting next year. So like this 0:08:34.512 --> 0:08:36.152 is fine for them to sign that. And the thing 0:08:36.192 --> 0:08:38.912 that people don't realize is that they have so much 0:08:39.032 --> 0:08:41.272 young talent that are on like entry level deals and 0:08:41.312 --> 0:08:44.872 bridge deals that they need to pay somebody. So this 0:08:45.072 --> 0:08:48.072 is like I wish I was still playing because this 0:08:48.272 --> 0:08:50.432 is like they're in the perfect position to pay these 0:08:50.552 --> 0:08:53.392 veterans because their young guys are still under. You know, 0:08:53.432 --> 0:08:55.392 they're gonna sign call On Graft to probably a three 0:08:55.432 --> 0:08:57.712 to five year deal, probably like five million a year, 0:08:58.352 --> 0:09:00.432 and then they're gonna you know, Max and I wonder 0:09:01.072 --> 0:09:02.752 to me, we talked about it a lot this year. 0:09:02.792 --> 0:09:04.912 I think if I'm Mac, I take it two three million, 0:09:05.392 --> 0:09:09.512 two three year deal. Don't over you know, don't take 0:09:09.592 --> 0:09:12.632 a seven year deal at sixteen million because the CAP's 0:09:12.672 --> 0:09:14.752 gonna go up. Take a three year deal at twelve 0:09:14.792 --> 0:09:17.792 and a half at Connor, give yourself some money. Keep 0:09:17.872 --> 0:09:20.592 the team competitive. But they have so much to like 0:09:20.712 --> 0:09:22.712 and if they can develop the right way, I mean. 0:09:23.432 --> 0:09:26.992 Ooh, doggy, look at their top four to now, like 0:09:26.992 --> 0:09:30.552 I look at their like Dickinson, Truba, Nurse or Loft 0:09:30.832 --> 0:09:34.272 and then Kesserlink too, you know, like their d look 0:09:34.512 --> 0:09:35.152 nice JD. 0:09:35.352 --> 0:09:37.152 It's good that your big good. 0:09:37.512 --> 0:09:39.192 And then you add Stenburgh. But I mean I would 0:09:39.192 --> 0:09:41.552 imagine Stenburg's playing on the top two lines next year. 0:09:41.792 --> 0:09:44.592 Yeah, I think, like you for sure he has to 0:09:44.712 --> 0:09:45.072 be right. 0:09:45.272 --> 0:09:45.832 And then you have me. 0:09:45.952 --> 0:09:49.112 You add Mason Marchman to that with Mesa and oh 0:09:49.392 --> 0:09:51.952 march Man I mean like coming home, yeah, and march 0:09:52.032 --> 0:09:54.152 Man like bad ad And I saw your tweet today 0:09:54.152 --> 0:09:55.112 and it was a great uh. 0:09:55.432 --> 0:09:56.912 I love how you said it, how he's coming home. 0:09:56.992 --> 0:09:59.272 That's I think it's amazing that he's coming back to 0:09:59.352 --> 0:10:01.072 San Jose and he's gonna be not only is it 0:10:01.072 --> 0:10:02.592 gonna be coming home, but I think it's gonna be 0:10:02.592 --> 0:10:05.312 an amazing fit there. Like he's a uh, he's a 0:10:05.352 --> 0:10:06.832 guy that they kind of need and a guy that 0:10:06.912 --> 0:10:08.512 don't really have. Like he's a he's a little bit 0:10:08.552 --> 0:10:10.192 of a unicorn, that guy, the way he plays. 0:10:10.992 --> 0:10:12.352 They got him in Sherwood, right. 0:10:12.872 --> 0:10:13.832 Yeah, multiple. 0:10:15.512 --> 0:10:17.472 Under the radar, Matt sic Corella. When you're to l 0:10:17.552 --> 0:10:19.312 A Nate, I mean, for a million bucks you get 0:10:19.312 --> 0:10:21.232 Matt C. Corrello. I mean that's a nice little move 0:10:21.312 --> 0:10:25.352 for them. Schwartz has ties, you know, three years to Colorado. 0:10:25.512 --> 0:10:26.512 The Anders like that. 0:10:27.712 --> 0:10:28.712 You want to talk Schwartz, go ahead. 0:10:28.712 --> 0:10:29.472 What do you like about Schwartz? 0:10:29.712 --> 0:10:31.952 No, I just like I like Jayon Schwartz on Colorado. 0:10:31.992 --> 0:10:34.832 I like what Colorado has done this offseason. They brought 0:10:34.952 --> 0:10:37.992 back there there. You know, they lost some pieces. I mean, honestly, 0:10:38.752 --> 0:10:41.112 you know, the team I think we should probably talk 0:10:41.192 --> 0:10:45.592 about the most after San Jose is Utah. I think 0:10:45.792 --> 0:10:49.312 Utah Man Utah resigned Stenlin, they got tro Check and 0:10:49.392 --> 0:10:53.552 then they picked up anders Lee. I mean, that's a 0:10:53.792 --> 0:10:56.992 nice fricking that's a nice tidy piece of work by 0:10:57.032 --> 0:11:01.512 Bill Armstrong, who I can't stand. But listen, he's called 0:11:01.712 --> 0:11:06.352 give him, give him his flowers. Dude, I can't stand 0:11:06.432 --> 0:11:06.992 you guys. 0:11:07.152 --> 0:11:09.792 You add those two guys in their lineup and they play. 0:11:10.192 --> 0:11:14.312 You put him in that series against Vegas and they 0:11:14.352 --> 0:11:17.072 probably win. Yeah. 0:11:17.072 --> 0:11:19.432 Oh yeah, you look at those two guys now, like 0:11:19.552 --> 0:11:22.592 that's that's yeah. I like that one too. Jady Utah 0:11:22.672 --> 0:11:23.312 is a really good one. 0:11:24.072 --> 0:11:26.192 Yeah, they're and I think that's why they're gonna let 0:11:26.232 --> 0:11:28.592 Barrett Hayte and walk for that second round pick. And 0:11:28.632 --> 0:11:30.072 they're gonna get a second round pick. They don't have 0:11:30.072 --> 0:11:30.592 to do anything. 0:11:33.752 --> 0:11:36.312 Barrett Hayten getting an offer sheet from New Jersey. Do 0:11:36.432 --> 0:11:36.872 they match. 0:11:37.832 --> 0:11:40.752 No, they're no, there's no way they match. They'll let 0:11:40.912 --> 0:11:43.992 They'll let Barrett walk. I think it's a good Barrett 0:11:44.272 --> 0:11:47.112 kind of struggled with some injuries the last couple of years, 0:11:47.152 --> 0:11:48.872 but they loved him there and they love what he brought. 0:11:49.632 --> 0:11:51.272 He needs to kind of I think he needs a change. 0:11:51.272 --> 0:11:52.792 The scener I think it's a good fit for him 0:11:52.792 --> 0:11:55.112 in Jersey. They need a centerman like Kim. You know, 0:11:55.432 --> 0:11:58.352 Hates can do a little bit of everything offense, defense, 0:11:58.592 --> 0:12:01.592 play some p K. He's really kind of developed into 0:12:01.632 --> 0:12:05.352 a two way center, and uh, I think it's gonna 0:12:05.352 --> 0:12:06.472 be good for him to go. And I think, like 0:12:06.512 --> 0:12:08.712 there's just no room with anders Lee and Trocheck coming. 0:12:09.432 --> 0:12:11.072 And now they got there, you know, they got what 0:12:11.232 --> 0:12:15.632 is it, Trocheck, Schmaltz, Stenland and then who's their third 0:12:15.712 --> 0:12:19.072 line center? Trying to think is anders Lee the centiment 0:12:19.152 --> 0:12:22.792 or a winger curvefoot, Yeah, curvefoot or somebody. I can't 0:12:23.232 --> 0:12:25.512 but they got a good They just don't need Hates. 0:12:25.552 --> 0:12:26.552 He just doesn't fit anymore. 0:12:27.552 --> 0:12:31.232 The other thing is is if Utah does sign him, 0:12:31.232 --> 0:12:34.232 they can't trade him for a year and he becomes 0:12:34.312 --> 0:12:36.072 a UFA after next season. 0:12:36.712 --> 0:12:42.072 Yeah, it's I you know, ad Nan, I just I 0:12:42.112 --> 0:12:45.272 don't know what your guys thoughts are, but I tweeted 0:12:45.352 --> 0:12:47.832 about it, and I just you know, I usually test 0:12:47.912 --> 0:12:50.392 it before I bring it here, but I just offer 0:12:50.472 --> 0:12:53.872 sheets are punk rock, man, It's just punk rock. I 0:12:53.912 --> 0:12:57.912 want it more mainstream. It's grunge. It's fucking I love it. 0:12:58.872 --> 0:13:02.672 Like every team should have to offer sheet at least 0:13:02.792 --> 0:13:06.672 once at every single season a GMS to off for 0:13:06.712 --> 0:13:10.152 sheet one player punk Rock, I'd be sick. 0:13:10.392 --> 0:13:12.152 I just say the fact that it's one of a 0:13:12.272 --> 0:13:14.352 brand new GM who's never been a GM in the 0:13:14.432 --> 0:13:16.952 league before and just goes right up to the biggest 0:13:17.032 --> 0:13:18.712 kid on the playground and sucks him. 0:13:18.552 --> 0:13:18.952 In the face. 0:13:19.072 --> 0:13:22.872 I love, oh Sonny Meta swinging that der around. 0:13:24.112 --> 0:13:27.672 Speaking of just swinging it around, this is after I 0:13:27.712 --> 0:13:29.712 love Sonny, He's my guy. We have to talk with 0:13:29.792 --> 0:13:33.152 the Zacharnsky trade drama. I mean, the fact D's so 0:13:33.232 --> 0:13:36.632 much to this became public. So Rensky informs Donaldel he's 0:13:36.672 --> 0:13:38.672 not likely it's not another contract of the Blue Jackets. 0:13:38.672 --> 0:13:40.392 When his current dealer is up after the twenty seven 0:13:40.392 --> 0:13:42.952 to twenty eight seasons two more years. Well, Dall attempts 0:13:42.952 --> 0:13:44.712 to trade him this offseason, including a dealing and plays 0:13:44.712 --> 0:13:47.232 with the Stars. Lorensky uses his no movement clause to 0:13:47.312 --> 0:13:49.912 veto and then it's like, well, at this point is 0:13:49.912 --> 0:13:51.552 at the point of no return. How do you feel 0:13:51.552 --> 0:13:53.832 if you're a teammate of Zach, Like, dude, you're quitting 0:13:53.832 --> 0:13:56.072 on us. You want to like that's it, Whereas maybe 0:13:56.112 --> 0:13:58.632 he's feeling like, no, what you're putting the pressure on 0:13:58.712 --> 0:13:59.952 me sing have to sign a long term deal and 0:14:00.032 --> 0:14:02.072 being honest about it. Here's what Rensky has to say. 0:14:02.112 --> 0:14:04.152 Don I had very open and honest dialogue and the 0:14:04.152 --> 0:14:06.632 sea and ended ideally this wouldn't becomes such a public 0:14:06.712 --> 0:14:08.752 thing that this is the world we live in. Everything 0:14:08.792 --> 0:14:10.992 got blown out of proportion. In my opinion, I want 0:14:11.032 --> 0:14:12.952 to win. I want to do that. In Columbus. He 0:14:13.072 --> 0:14:14.952 all goes on to say he loves his teammates, he's 0:14:14.992 --> 0:14:17.992 twenty eight entries eleventh season. I mean, he's obviously a 0:14:17.992 --> 0:14:20.112 fabulous player, coming up one of the Norse Trophy. How 0:14:20.152 --> 0:14:22.352 does this end? Can he just go back to Columbus 0:14:22.352 --> 0:14:24.232 And it's like, e man, he texts a few teammates 0:14:24.272 --> 0:14:25.472 out of all locked in boys. 0:14:25.312 --> 0:14:25.632 We're good. 0:14:26.392 --> 0:14:26.592 Yeah. 0:14:26.632 --> 0:14:26.912 I don't. 0:14:27.032 --> 0:14:28.992 I don't know if this is like you know, he's 0:14:29.032 --> 0:14:32.192 got Jud muldover right, and Jud's kind of a little 0:14:32.272 --> 0:14:36.432 Hollywood and he's got some big names, and like I 0:14:36.512 --> 0:14:39.432 had heard randomly, it's like he never really wanted to leave. 0:14:39.712 --> 0:14:43.952 He just was like maybe trying to cattle prod Columbus 0:14:44.032 --> 0:14:45.872 to make some moves, But I'm like, is that the 0:14:45.952 --> 0:14:50.272 way to do it? Like so much distraction and probably, 0:14:50.472 --> 0:14:55.712 you know what, this probably distracted the GM so much 0:14:56.112 --> 0:14:59.352 in this organization trying to put out the Wrenski fires 0:14:59.392 --> 0:15:03.072 that they couldn't really like dive into free agency. Because 0:15:03.672 --> 0:15:06.112 if you're in that building and all of a sudden, you're, 0:15:06.352 --> 0:15:10.192 you know, yesterday, you're getting ready to like sign some players, 0:15:10.232 --> 0:15:12.112 and then all of a sudden, it's like Warrensky wants 0:15:12.112 --> 0:15:13.872 to leave. All these gems are calling you being like 0:15:14.192 --> 0:15:15.512 what are you gonna take? What are you gonna take? 0:15:15.512 --> 0:15:18.192 They're probably like fuck off, like we're not trading them. 0:15:18.192 --> 0:15:20.712 And then they're trying to talk to Zach, probably talking 0:15:20.792 --> 0:15:23.552 to the the agent. They're not even talking directly to Zach, 0:15:23.592 --> 0:15:26.472 they're talking to the agent who's talking to Zach broken telephone. 0:15:26.472 --> 0:15:29.792 I just think this was an absolute mess, disorganization at 0:15:29.832 --> 0:15:32.552 its finest. And this is gonna hurt Columbus more than 0:15:32.552 --> 0:15:35.472 it's gonna hurt Warnsky, because you know, there is some 0:15:35.672 --> 0:15:37.552 good deals out there for him too in a short 0:15:37.552 --> 0:15:41.312 amount of time, like that Dallas deal. Like I bet 0:15:41.392 --> 0:15:46.632 you Columbus is pissed that he vetoed that as good 0:15:46.672 --> 0:15:50.552 as Wrensky is Like that was like Harley and two firsts. 0:15:50.792 --> 0:15:54.032 I'm like that says about as good as you're gonna get. 0:15:56.632 --> 0:15:59.192 So frustration there for Zach When and Blue Jackets fans, 0:15:59.232 --> 0:16:01.232 and say this for Columbus, say lost Marchman and jenneral 0:16:01.312 --> 0:16:03.752 free agency. Meantime, Nate, what's you gonna take for someone 0:16:03.792 --> 0:16:07.352 to sign with? Jason Robertson turned out one hundred and 0:16:07.512 --> 0:16:08.112 twenty million. 0:16:08.152 --> 0:16:11.432 They've got Curtis Douglas one hundred and twenty million. 0:16:11.752 --> 0:16:15.072 This thing is are Toimy Peneren four years over fourteen 0:16:15.112 --> 0:16:17.032 million per year from the Crack And it's okay, I'll 0:16:17.032 --> 0:16:19.152 take less in La. I don't want to go to Seattle. 0:16:19.152 --> 0:16:19.912 I'll just take less money. 0:16:19.912 --> 0:16:20.272 It's okay. 0:16:20.592 --> 0:16:22.392 I mean, I get what the Cracker are doing. They 0:16:22.392 --> 0:16:25.152 need to find an identity. You know, they're a youngest team. 0:16:25.192 --> 0:16:27.072 They're a boring team. There's only a lot of excitement 0:16:27.112 --> 0:16:30.712 exception for John Fors and my guy, what are the 0:16:30.712 --> 0:16:31.352 Crackers was doing? 0:16:31.432 --> 0:16:31.552 Nate? 0:16:31.552 --> 0:16:33.272 We're giving you the money. Nobody wants to take it. 0:16:33.752 --> 0:16:36.432 I don't know. That's and that's no state tax too, Washington. 0:16:36.552 --> 0:16:37.312 That's another state. 0:16:37.392 --> 0:16:40.472 No state tax so but you know, he turns down 0:16:40.912 --> 0:16:45.232 what fifteen million from Seattle, no state tax, So it's 0:16:45.312 --> 0:16:48.592 not a destination. It just tells you that players want 0:16:48.592 --> 0:16:49.872 to win, and they want to go to it, and 0:16:49.872 --> 0:16:51.152 they want to go to a place that they know 0:16:51.152 --> 0:16:52.792 they're gonna have a chance to win and they're gonna 0:16:52.792 --> 0:16:56.632 have all the other entities that go with it. And 0:16:56.872 --> 0:17:00.552 Seattle is not a destination right now. So I don't 0:17:00.592 --> 0:17:04.631 know for Seattle as far as getting free agents, I mean, 0:17:04.712 --> 0:17:07.472 that has to that has to happen within the organization 0:17:07.672 --> 0:17:09.232 like it like all the other ones. You're seeing San 0:17:09.312 --> 0:17:12.432 Jose do it, You're seeing Anaheim, Montreal, all these teams, 0:17:12.672 --> 0:17:15.192 they go about it the right way. So I think 0:17:15.272 --> 0:17:17.792 Seattle it's it's been tough for them because they've just 0:17:17.912 --> 0:17:20.992 had basically what four lines of fall second line guys, 0:17:21.032 --> 0:17:24.272 of the third line guys basically every every season and 0:17:24.512 --> 0:17:27.872 they're kind of in the mushy middle always. So I 0:17:27.912 --> 0:17:29.912 mean they're they're a team that's gonna have to you know, 0:17:29.952 --> 0:17:33.232 they might have to bring it down to the studs 0:17:33.272 --> 0:17:35.912 and and and start it over like other teams have, 0:17:36.072 --> 0:17:37.952 you know, so and and then I don't know, to 0:17:38.912 --> 0:17:41.272 add to the Jason Robertson thing. I mean, that's, uh, 0:17:41.472 --> 0:17:43.512 that's probably another topic we can get into more. 0:17:43.872 --> 0:17:46.712 Yea, absolutely, but listen, Pittsburgh got Nick Robertson. They go, fine, 0:17:46.712 --> 0:17:48.552 we'll go get Jason. We'll get your brother here and 0:17:48.632 --> 0:17:51.472 Tyson whatever way you can. And I mean before we 0:17:51.552 --> 0:17:53.872 talked about Dallas being up against with the cap, but 0:17:53.952 --> 0:17:57.071 don't forget Sagan comes off after next season, so that's 0:17:57.192 --> 0:17:59.552 nine plus million. The CAP's going up by ten million. 0:17:59.992 --> 0:18:01.952 Is there a way that they can keep Robertson in Dallas. 0:18:03.072 --> 0:18:04.912 I think they're gonna end up having to. And to 0:18:05.032 --> 0:18:07.632 Nate's point of Seattle, it's just a it's a fucking 0:18:07.792 --> 0:18:11.632 dump around the rink. Fix that, fix it around the ranks. 0:18:12.712 --> 0:18:15.072 Can't You gotta just worried about getting stabbed coming out 0:18:15.072 --> 0:18:16.752 of the rink after losing to to one to the 0:18:17.352 --> 0:18:19.592 La Kings, and you you can't even think about taking 0:18:19.632 --> 0:18:22.152
