and welcome back episode 116 of the ranting ranges podcast in partnership with inside the rink I'm your host Jacob
0:18
rtz and I'm alongside M coost Brett Brett how's it going oh so good it's not
0:24
like everything is an absolute dumpster fire right now I mean things were looking
0:30
so promising and then how's that it's it's this
0:38
sucks yeah this it's terrible it's the worst I mean honestly and I know we're going to talk about it anyway but heed
0:46
really is I mean he was of of like this team that's been a team
0:52
for like five years now of those people like he's always been like the one that had my heart um I've just I've loved
1:00
from the moment he came up um and I I'm I don't even really care
1:06
about the Rangers season U as much as I'm just like I don't want to see him
1:12
you know the head injuries that can happen can just be absolutely just so devastating to your quality of life um
1:18
and I just feel he seems like such a good kid and I just hate that a non-
1:24
cont thing happens in practice and and he's gone for the rest of the year now it's like I don't really care about him
1:29
being for the season so much as as it is like I've just worried about him in general um it just like it blows my mind
1:38
that there is a uh you know like on on hockey Instagram if you're ever on there
1:44
there's like uh it's always like the lowest level of comments but that Gallagher elbow hit um that he got five
1:52
games for people like oh I'm sorry this guy he was playing hockey oh people now
1:57
are so soft nowadays I'm like are if that is your opinion that that hockey players are too soft and the league is
2:03
doing too much to prevent massive traumatic hit injuries you're a [ __ ]
2:08
idiot and you need to get professional help because is absolutely absurd that
2:14
you have a kid like Philip pedo was what what is he 24 years old 23 24 24 right
2:19
23 or might be 2 he's right around there and is and very well could have his
2:25
career over because of H injuries it's like I I I it it makes me sick um that
2:31
anyone could could question the the league trying to go after this stuff and they need to do and they need to do a
2:37
lot more um because it's just yeah it just it just sucks to to have a guy like
2:43
that that's like such a good dude have to deal with this now and not not not
2:49
just not play hockey but like have his quality of like question um so it's just it's so deflating not even just as like
2:56
a fan of the team and I want them to do well but just as like a human level it's
3:02
just uh it's really hard to deal with so um you know beating up on the fourth
3:07
worst team in hockey doesn't really do a whole lot for me [Music] um I I I'm very happy for this Alla
3:15
break right now I mean I think the team needs a reset I feel like I need a reset from the Rangers right now too because
3:23
it's not it's not a great place to be um so how I am that's I right now what a
3:30
difference two months makes my we were on cloud n oh yeah best in the league on
3:37
face for what like 120 points how are we still first in the Metro by the way that's how good the Rangers were in
3:44
October November and some of December that's how good they were it's OBS also also the Metro isn't as crazy this year
3:51
no it's not the Metro is kind of a soft Division I think overall but still it is kind of crazy that we've gone on a
3:58
schneide like we've been been on and still somehow maintaining that position
4:04
um but yeah honestly like I I uh I'll I I'll warn the listeners up front I'm
4:09
like I think this will be a shorter podcast because I really I hold hold on hold up hold up hold up hold up I let's get this out of
4:16
the way here what the hell are with these Allstar jerseys we're just gonna transition
4:22
right into the allar what is this well we'll go back we'll go back but this is one of those things that's going to be
4:27
lost and we're going to stop before we get to it but I we need to address this this is like one of those jerseys where
4:33
you're like at school and you go to the gym and they have like 20 of these and they got like them each for 50 cents at
4:40
the dollar store those random ones and then they put them in a bin those are the ones like you get from the bin and
4:46
if you pick them up those are the designs yeah oh that's what it looks like it's truly atrocious I don't know
4:52
who they have doing it who who said this is a good idea I like this it's one of
4:58
those things like like it's not just said somebody designed it and then they're the Jersey someone said I like designed it and then assume I I assume
5:05
more than one person also went through and was like yeah yeah looks good no notes keep it going I like it like a
5:13
team of people were responsible for that it is and I take it back it's not the allstar game it's not the All-Star game
5:19
it's the some Allstars game that's that that's probably the new name for it because now with every team getting a
5:26
player in the allst star I I don't I that that makes sense sense it doesn't
5:31
no it doesn't and it honestly it makes because like Allstar games in traditionally in sports you know it is
5:38
something that gets pointed to at the end of a guy's career about how many All-Star games they made um because it's
5:44
like an indicator of like how well they you know how well they played throughout their career versus their competition year and year out it means nothing now
5:51
it's like oh he made the allstar game four times like who cares like was he the best player on his team for four
5:57
years and that's it but he wouldn't have made it if it was actual real meritocracy it's it's stupid well well if you were drafted in like the top
6:04
five um that's it you're you're set for life because if you you have the name um
6:12
and you play on a crap team yeah right yeah you gotta get it it's not it's not
6:18
even a question I I I just don't get it I don't get it but hey uh chi does like that's a thing like uh I don't remember
6:24
who tweeted it but like someone mentioned like uh regarding tro Trek about how like did they go through a few
6:29
calls before Troi I mean like if you want to say about that just Turin okay but Troi I mean he's been our best
6:34
center this whole year I mean he he 100% deserves this in
6:39
fact he should have been the original one if it weren't for paner yeah oh it wasn't paner yeah yeah I know problem
6:45
with with GE making it like yeah I'm I'm happy because he's played he's played amazing this year and especially Toronto
6:54
they shouldn't happen in Toronto like you're going to tro saying hey tro what are you do in the All-Star break oh I'm
6:59
going with my family to Bahamas no you're not you're going to the frozen tundra of Toronto oh great thanks guys
7:05
like could it bring it to a nice place like I I well hold on hold on okay
7:12
couple things here first off Toronto is not a frozen tundra Toronto is literally
7:17
not even an hour and a half north of where I am right now it's not a frozen tundra out here right now it's like 40
7:22
degrees okay compared to where they were going to go well okay yeah fine but so
7:29
with anywhere then but like and Toronto is a great City okay it really is I mean
7:34
it's it's the New York city of Canada and it really is like now is it is it New York City no obviously it's not it's
7:40
way smaller but uh but it is it's a it's a almost anything you'd want to do you can find in Toronto it's a great City to
7:47
be in so I I I I take exception to you acting like they're playing this game in
7:53
Siberia um so yeah no now maybe would they like 11 feet of snow like per storm
8:00
or something like that no where do you think that
8:05
no no that's not how that's not how any of this work I'm sorry like six six okay
8:12
fine no no how many times have you have you mentioned like
8:19
ridiculous that is what you're suggesting what what you're suggesting is every time it snows in Toronto it's
8:26
snowing six feet no I'm just saying it's you frequent that you come here you
8:34
communicate with me and it's to the point where it's oh it's 6 feet of snow there's a snow storm H how how many feet did you guys
8:42
get the biggest storm this year uh I mean I personally got like a
8:49
foot um and then again like I don't know another eight to 10 inches the following
8:54
week now in the South Towns they they get a lot more I think they got like three wait that's it
9:00
me yeah me lake effect snow is very banded it's it's very if you're by the
9:05
lake you get a ton more snow because it feeds off the water and that produces a lot more snow I don't live I live by the
9:12
river I don't live by the lake I'm I'm north of the lake so if you're in the South Towns then you get the lake effect
9:18
snow and you can get an extreme amount of snow I think they got like a dump of three feet and then like another foot
9:23
after that something like that so yeah the lake of effect snow can be a lot but it's not this Frozen T it's not it's not siber
9:29
it's really not it's not crazy uh and it's not it's not an undesirable place to be if you said he had to go to
9:36
Winnipeg now you're talking now that is a frozen tundra that is terrible IDE and
9:43
it's a and it's a city with not the it's not a very it's not a great City okay but Toronto is a place that I think
9:49
anybody should be happy to go to uh if you're trying to go to the Bahamas yeah that's a that's a big change of pace but
9:55
yeah yeah it is I'm not saying CH was planning on going there I'm just saying saying that well yeah and and ideally
10:02
the all going to the all-star game should be an honor it should be a privilege it should be fun it should be something like your first time but after
10:09
that but that's the thing but no one that shows you how bad and how poorly the allar game is manage that a lot of
10:16
players would rather just not go well yeah that's my point that says a lot yeah yeah I just took exception to your
10:23
characterization of Toronto as a city that's not the problem okay okay you're not arguing with my point that all star is a disaster it's a
10:31
dister it's fine for it to be in Toronto it's a perfectly great City for it to be
10:36
okay well they got the draft this year so I guess that's something and that's
10:43
it is the biggest hockey city in in in the world you know if you were really taking it talking about the number the
10:51
number of people that care about hockey concentrated in one city Toronto is going to win that every single time yeah
10:58
it's just you know not the greatest weather it's
11:04
hockey I'm just I'm just saying like for the from the players perspective sure
11:09
okay okay now that we got our little rant from the allstar game out of the way because we had to get that on here
11:15
there's no way uh back to the Rangers um what do
11:20
you yeah we're going back to the Rangers here what do you what what do you do at
11:27
this point I mean look everyone uh was happy about that not I
11:32
mean it doesn't fix or undo or anything from the past month but it was nice to
11:37
get that win uh Saturday night but I mean what do you do at this point like
11:42
if you're Chris jury what's your plan here you're he who who who was it was it
11:49
was it luer on Twitter that proposed the trade with Minnesota was like kandre Miller a
11:56
first and a fourth for Ericson in a second and I no I think he might have
12:01
quote tweeted it though it might have been him I'm not sure I think it was him that originated it it might not been it
12:07
might not I could have that wrong it doesn't matter a trade like that honestly I think is what you need to do
12:13
um I mean I'm not anxious to get rid of kandre Miller but like he's not helping this team right now give him to a team
12:20
that's already out of contention that wants his high upside that can be a little bit more patient I think that's a
12:27
great move because I mean we need we need more help in our in our top six we absolutely do I mean there there is an
12:34
argument that um to not go for a rental but to go with
12:40
someone with for with term yeah like he's he's cost controled for like the next five years at like 5.2 million
12:48
something like that I mean look the dream would be to get Yanni
12:53
gorg that's the dream I mean like I'm not saying he's Eric's a neck but I'm just saying he's that
13:00
player that perfect player that the Rangers would need also have you seen his Playoff stats like he goes next
13:06
level in the playoffs compared to his regular season stats that sandpaper game what is he 5
13:14
point6 million for the next year he's like a half point no no no I'm not I'm
13:20
not saying he's Ericson e I'm just saying that type of play because I don't think Eric sck is realistic well no he
13:27
may not be realistic but uh I don't know I I think we can dream bigger than Yanni gour at this
13:34
point you don't think so I I mean how many assets do we have that were will
13:39
gour is also 5.1 million he's 32 5.1 million and a half
13:45
Point G what what do you see in Yan gour well first of all Jo first of all first
13:51
of all with with players like Joe Eric and right you're gonna have to give a lot now obviously that specific trade
13:56
isn't on the table because that would like be enticing but any trade with some with term it's G to be a lot and the
14:02
Rangers I mean they're not going to trade Offman they're not going to trade perau I mean yeah they have
14:07
sakur barard and stuff but they don't have like any True Blue Chip prospects they're going to be willing to trade
14:14
they have a first round this year and next first round I mean at certain point
14:19
maybe in the offseason like do you have to question like how much are we gonna have to give if we want to get goodro off our books right that that's that's
14:27
us said somewhere else I I mean there's only so much you can give to the point where that's why I mentioned Yanni Gore now obviously seatt
14:34
might not want to get rid of him because he's at that point where um he's not a
14:39
crazy Superstar or anything but his style of play is what the Rangers would
14:45
need uh which is why I mention I I like to clarify when I mentioned Yanni gourd
14:50
I wasn't comparing him to Joel Erics NE well no obviously not obviously not no
14:56
of course not but also I don't want to have to deal with him next year then either though that's the other thing having him on the books for almost 5.2
15:04
million for next year too then I'd argue the same thing with Joel Eric and but Joel Eric andek isn't 32 years old and
15:11
is not a half Point per game player no but I'm saying is I'm saying is like you still have the same problem Cap wise
15:16
obviously they're different players but you still have that same problem Cap wise right but if we're gonna have but
15:21
they're almost the same cap i' ra I'd rather go with a guy that's actually really good rather than the guy that's like on the well into the back nine of
15:27
his career right but I again I I don't think Joel Eric is gonna be realistic
15:33
although I it's very possible Yanni Gord isn't realistic either like I mean if Shane Wright they're expecting Shane
15:39
Wright what to come up next year they have bers they have mccan
15:45
uh who else is what what's his name starts with the w wber but he's a free agent this year
15:53
wber yeah he's a free agent this year so I don't know maybe they don't have room Center maybe they'll bring yanor to the
15:58
wing but I mean it it's just it's an absolute
16:05
mess because I mean look you had Nick Bonino as your 3C for two months yeah right
16:12
like I just wish like we could see we could at least plug in a 3C for a couple weeks and say all right was it the depth
16:19
problem and injuries cut up to them or this team is just not it I don't think obviously this team is what it actually
16:26
was this month I I don't think that's the case this is alltime low this is bedrock this is not who they're going to
16:34
be but the question is how close to that November play are they and unfortunately we can't buy
16:43
anything like probably not even a a box of tissues or anything like that so I
16:49
mean I mean is there anyone enticing that for you
16:54
or uh I mean I think you you got to just start looking through the you know the graveyard of teams uh and seeing you
17:03
know who's available or who's you know who's not gonna be looking to to uh
17:09
really keep a player going for by the way no thank you to shaanan yeah why is that um 55 is mid though then again
17:16
everyone on this 55 is mid um he's got to cost way too much uh he's the one
17:22
right after lolm so that's why I think you'd go after Adam Henrik um he's not a cost as much uh he
17:30
is also playing on the Ducks so take his numbers with a bit of a grain of salt
17:37
um he also no I guess it's not relevant anymore because just in case at the time
17:42
when heo was coming back but originally I liked him because he also plays wings so he could have slot to the wing but at this point I mean like manahan's got to
17:48
cost so much I I I just don't and also I I'm not a fan of his game it's
17:55
just if you could get Anaheim to retain for Adam Henrik uh and it not cost a lot
18:02
and then snag a guy like duclair from San Jose I think that's a solid too again
18:07
that's like a dream I see I see like that's kind of like a dream scenario but cap Wise It's a realistic one I think
18:14
what we should do is we should get Toronto to um we should get Toronto to retain
18:21
salary on William neander for the rest that that is a good one good pick I
18:27
think that would be a really good move for us that could really help us out a lot um you know I don't know if you
18:33
watched this this Willie neand kid but man he's he looks like he might be something really yeah I think he he he
18:41
might be him yeah I really do um you know I I do Wonder uh uh also
18:48
also I'm I'm sorry I know I'm interrupting you but like I see people saying that um they're not going to
18:54
trade anything at the treat deadline they're not going to get a rental they're not going to get an acquisition or everything like does does everyone forget who the owner
19:01
is yeah but you really think he's going to have it where they're just gonna sit
19:09
on their hands for the rest of the regular season and call it a day it's not gonna happen it will never
19:15
happen it might be a longterm like a player with term then maybe but to think that there's got to be no acquisition
19:21
whatsoever it's just it's it's not going to happen there's got to be something you would think you would
19:26
think and you would hope um I would be shocked if they're not making moves I especially with the the cap that we do
19:32
get back with h um being gone you know it's like we do have money to spend now
19:38
and we absolutely had the need for it so uh it wouldn't really make a lot of sense for us to just to stand P um I
19:45
don't think some of the like when you say like some of these people are gonna cost way too much money like I I don't think Monahan's gonna take an absolute
19:51
Hall I really don't think he'd be take a ho to pull him in I mean Montreal has very little leverage with him he's a UFA
19:57
he on the final year his contract um he doesn't need to they don't really have any leverage
20:04
in that situation now it depends on how many teams are shopping for will drive the price up sure but you're not going
20:10
to find I don't think you're going to find like five teams you know in the hunt for the playoffs this year that are going to be willing to part with an
20:16
absolute hall for a short term you know for having a month or two of Shawn Monahan I I I don't think I think that's
20:23
going to put a lid on how on how much people are going to be willing to pay for
20:29
it's more of a supply and demand thing though the other one you mentioned the it's more of a supply and demand thing for me because after lolm it's him like
20:37
it's not there aren't a lot of centers on the market um it's once lol goes I
20:44
mean all are going to be on Monahan yeah but supply and demand doesn't mean that somebody can just set their price I mean
20:49
if if you mean by what would your price be for him I mean I don't know
20:57
um I I really don't know what he what he's going to be going for I can't say I'm
21:02
always surprised both ways anytime uh you know when the when the deadline
21:08
comes down I'm always surprised both ways by what happens there's players that go and I'm like damn I would have
21:13
thought he would have got a lot more than that and there's players thato that I'm like damn that guy's got absolute Hall um but I'm just saying that like
21:21
Sean Mahan is not like uh uh I mean he's a big step down from Lindholm to be to
21:27
be uh to be fair and he's also like it's
21:32
it's it's a it's a midlevel rental it's not a flashy you know it's not something
21:37
that's really G to like super turn the tide I don't think you're going to see a lot of teams are going to be willing to mortgage their future he's not you're
21:44
not you're not gonna get two firsts and a prospect yeah know that what what they said I don't see that I I was saying
21:50
like a first uh maybe a mid- round Prospect and
21:56
a pick but the thing is is that's all the r just have so they can't get anything else after that they still need to get a right winger yeah but you know
22:04
we I mean uh yeah no it is true it is true it's tough I mean we're gonna
22:12
absolutely see what Chris jri is really made out of um with what he's able to do
22:19
now um if he's actually the the Slick wheel and dealer that a lot of people
22:25
think that he is um then we'll see it and if he does I will be the first in line to congratulate him but yeah I I
22:31
they're not going to St in P but like I'm not expecting no a game changing Hall to come come down you know a few
22:39
weeks I mean also you got to get a 4C it's another thing you you know um I mean that that though like
22:49
you get those like diamond dozen like yeah I'm not that I'm not that worried about a for
22:54
really right that's that's not really the concern I mean also so with the thing with Adam henrique is that a lot
23:00
of these top players don't go usually until the end because they're going to wait until teams get desperate and they
23:06
you know the bidding war PS up but with Adam Henrik he's not the hot commodity so is something really G to change at
23:13
the two weeks now and the trade deadline whereas if you could get him earlier the sooner the better to get him more
23:19
acclimated to get this team going quicker um which is also ening well yeah
23:24
and this team obvious needs a shot in the a now and yeah I I Conor Mack saved the Rangers by the way I know that was a
23:30
very random thought but you just reminded me that when
23:35
uh what yeah fill that out expand on that where where Conor McKie had the
23:41
fight Saturday night and then afterwards the Rangers just exploded four goals in like five minutes five and a half
23:47
minutes yeah yeah yeah that's like the trouba throw 2.0 right right right but
23:53
anyway anyway what were you saying I'm sorry no no I'm say yeah I'd be fine with Henrik and obviously I think there
23:59
is uh obviously a big benefit to us making a move sooner rather than later
24:04
not waiting to the deadline uh obviously you have to have a willing trade partner so we'll see about that but yeah this
24:10
team could use an injection of some fresh life for sure um also I you know
24:16
before we go I I do want to ask your opinion on the the trouba elbowing
24:22
suspension um I just just wish there was again like
24:29
the consistency in the suspensions like when when there are two suspensions that are
24:35
close to each other uh with two individual incidents and then they shouldn't be that close in regarding a
24:42
punishment or anything like that that's what's kind of frustrating
24:47
um honestly yeah when I saw that I'm like what what are you talking about he's
24:54
suspended um but I saw the video I mean I don't know I it's it's more of like
25:00
what did Gallagher get five I I mean that was very intentional
25:06
though I think he should have gotten way more than that well five is about the max that they that they do for any of
25:11
these type of hits though but that's my point like you're
25:16
like equivalent no I know but but I'm just I'm just saying when was the last time a player for a hit like that an
25:22
elbow you know or hit to the head when was the last time you saw a player get more than five games I can't remember of
25:27
course not because George peros is the head of the NHL player is is about the
25:33
max you see for any hit like that like it would take I mean what did Miller get last year huh what did Miller get last
25:40
year contre Miller I don't you got like
25:48
three maybe you're gonna say that's the that's that's it's that close to Gallagher's elel oh no absolutely not no
25:55
I don't I don't I think those hit like G to me should should be absolutely double digits you know I mean if they're really
26:01
serious about protecting the players like they should be they're serious about protecting the players yeah absolutely they should they should do
26:08
that no they should I'm just saying it's a joke that because they they absolutely do not but I I I see a hit like tras and
26:14
I'm like I don't really know that he really meant to to do that um at all now
26:21
obviously I'm a fairly biased person when it comes to that but it it does not have the same Menace as so many hits
26:27
that either go unpunished or lightly punished you know it's not the same it's not even the same play in any way she
26:33
perform as the Galer hit uh but you're right I do think when there are kind of plays like that in tandem they do tend
26:39
to try to like L them together but that's stupid it's like hey let's add recency bias into our already extremely
26:46
biased system of punishments it's pretty it's it's really
26:51
yeah something by the way I I forgot to mention this before um Elliot fredman said on said I'm not sure where but I I
26:59
know for a fact he said that he believed the ranges were already in the market for a center anyway um when the he
27:06
announcement was made well I mean they' be super NAU right like there's no way they could have trusted that the heed was gonna fine so of course they were yeah
27:14
most likely a per player that is like um Center or Wing type of thing yeah I mean
27:21
that'd be nice but I guess not yeah yeah we also need a win because we need to get I I got to say too I am so tired of
27:29
I hate every time Blake weer scores a goal now CU I'm like no do not validate
27:35
he scores the game wi and goal you're like God dang it I'm like why anybody but wheeler and it's not that I want him
27:40
to fail I I I I need to make that clear you don't want the Rangers to think he successful he can do it exactly exactly
27:46
I don't and I know what happens is that hockey people are stupid I think and
27:51
well Sports people are stupid very often in general too they're like oh well he's put in nine goals he's not doing so bad it's like can we roll tape on all nine
27:58
goals and tell me what plays he's making that made that happen like can I also roll tape on like this entire season so
28:04
far of of him looking like me out there skating like it's not good and it doesn't work and I don't like him being
28:12
uh taking up top minutes like we need to make sure that we have uh yeah we need a third line Center we also need a Winger
28:18
to make sure that we're not pushing Blake wheeler anywhere near that top six ideally nowhere in the the the top 12
28:28
right righty call up you know I just hope they do it sooner rather than later
28:33
that they don't they don't wait till close to Dre dline because I it was a nice win but there are so many things
28:39
you got to fix and oh nice against the Senators the Senators right right but
28:45
like that's the thing like they need these new players soon so they get acclimated and everyone gets settled
28:50
down and they go to fixing things because if you're a third line Center and no no disrespect to the real Johnny
28:57
hocky here but Johnny brazinski is your 3C you're gonna have problems and if
29:03
wheeler is your top six Winger you are going to have problems they are not the
29:09
specific exact and sole reason no they're not they're not the actual
29:15
problem they're no you're absolutely they're not the problem but you're absolutely right you cannot go into and
29:20
say we're going to make a real run at the playoffs with Blake wheeler in your top six and Johnny brazinski as your
29:27
third line center that is capitulation you might as well become sellers at the deadline if that's your plan right and
29:34
but also get them sooner rather than later because like like the defense is the problem the structure is the problem
29:40
it's not necessarily like individual players but having those players is got to help it's got to bring confidence
29:46
they're gonna get accl acclimated you know much sooner towards the playoffs
29:52
um yeah but I I I don't know I I guess we'll see because honestly this trade deadline is is hot garbage there's it's
29:58
not like past years um no I still do have a little bit of faith that I think
30:05
that that Drury might be able to to pull up a lot of people think he's more of a wizard than I do overall I don't think he's a poorly overall he surprised me
30:12
sometimes this is his opportunity to really make me a fan and I know that he lives and dies on whether or not I'm a
30:19
fan of what he does um he is he is all up in my mentions all the time he's like
30:24
one of my reply guys he's always in my DMs like bro you think we should do and I'm like yeah you ever give him like advice which which player to go with
30:31
yeah I know what the heck why haven't you mentioned to him before this year he'll for 2C I know well you know it was
30:38
really this year when he was like man this Brett guy really knows his stuff and so but but honestly like I'm tired
30:44
sometimes he he's hitting me up it's two in the morning I'm like dude I'm try to go to sleep right now you need to figure this out on your own um but he could
30:51
have I'm hoping I I hold out hope that he might actually be the guy that a lot of people think he is is and he can make
30:57
a deal happen so yeah I also wonder um if if it's going to be more like two
31:04
years ago rather than well I mean it kind we kind of said it in
31:09
this yeah it's gonna be more like two years ago rather than last year like get two years be fine oh no I'm I'm fine
31:17
with that in fact I would take I would take that exact I would take that exact same getting caught yeah yeah yeah we
31:22
would all that exact same thing you did before fine with it I'll take wow I'll take cop
31:30
on the third line and vrono on top six yeah I'm very cool with that it's so
31:35
frustrating because they ever since they've traded bevit and then let go for I'm not they've never been able to
31:42
figure out who's going in there kakapa for a while seemed like he could be I I don't know what's gonna can and should but
31:50
they don't appears they don't think so no and like there are so many things he does besides producing points I mean
31:57
clear when he was injured it was so clear um but I don't know hopefully they
32:03
acquire someone soon and yeah Chris jury his best
32:08
um moves have been at the trade deadline so I don't know we we'll we'll see but hey we got barkle goodro at 3.6 million
32:15
so yeah all right last yeah last last question by the way and then we'll wrap
32:20
this up because exhausted um Owen tippet signed for 6.2 million I believe
32:29
extension don't know how yeah um would you be willing to offer lafer
32:37
something similar now so in two
32:43
years when it ends it's in two years right not two they didn't have a two-year Bridge he had a three-year
32:48
Bridge right all right wa that's not that's the point was three yeah okay yeah two two
32:54
or three two one or two more years where you risk where think about it all it
33:00
takes is an offseason working on shot and finishing and maybe it starts going his way a little more and he's looking
33:05
more at like a 30 goal score rather than 20 goal score
33:10
and I I I I maybe not 6.2 but I'm saying would what would you be willing to give
33:17
for an extension right now I'd be willing to see his current extension out
33:23
to see what he is actually capable of doing you I know I don't I don't really want to
33:29
gamble with it I mean I have high hopes for him still and he's taken a a noticeable step in his overall
33:34
performance and play but there's a lot of guys in this league that that can
33:40
look really great and be you know a useful addition but can't rack up the points and I don't think this team can
33:46
afford to lock up cap space in a guy that's not going to generate the points
33:52
right well I mean this is I guess thetical I hope and think he will but like I the risk reward right now I think is still too high in the risk category
34:00
to like you couldn't even sign him to an extension because of those two years um because the extension would start in two
34:07
years but you can't do it until the year before but if you knew like it could start in two
34:14
years when that one ends I don't like you wouldn't gamble it
34:20
no not right now no I I need to see more really I me I mean I it's it's fair to
34:25
like say you don't know what he is yet but I I don't know I
34:31
I I don't know I don't think it's out of the question because I mean man no it's not it's not an outrageous question I
34:37
don't think so no it's not it's not but I I just I don't like it uh because I
34:42
need to see the points first before we start handing out big money I think it's smart for some of these GMS to be giving
34:48
some of these players that you know like I feel like Owen tippit's a lot
34:53
different than laer um I I think he's shown that he can be a real goal scorer
34:59
I mean he's already had suppos yeah last year he had 27 goals on a very garbage FL I wasn't really comparing to the the
35:04
players really I was comparing more to the gambling I think it's less that's what I'm saying I think it's less of a gamble
35:10
for a player like tippet and some of these other players that teams have have gone around and and given extensions to before they've fully popped off to me
35:18
that's a smart move it's a move you kind of got to make if you really want to lock up a good young core long term um
35:25
that is I think a smart move make I just I don't think that that's a laer near
35:31
situation yet to me it's still too risky at this point that's my two
35:36
sets yeah no no that that's that's definitely fair um all right I think we're gonna end it off here that was a
35:41
bit of an a over episode but that's right um hopefully um the closer we get maybe
35:48
even in a week we'll have more of an idea of what players we could go after if whether it's a rental or whether it's
35:55
a player with term I'll definitely be looking into it this week not I haven't been looking at plays of term yet until
36:01
obviously uh the news this morning but anyways um Brett you got anything else
36:06
or we wrap it up uh no I got nothing else right now Stadium Series JY you liked yeah you
36:15
know it's you know I just liked it because it was something different yeah it's something different and I like that
36:20
I don't mind it I I just I wish the same thing I felt about their uh you know alth although they're selling it they're
36:26
selling it next week no no one's gonna get it until after the Stadium Series yeah I don't
36:33
know it's weird I just wish that they uh just like I felt with our alternate jersey this year that just the logo need
36:39
to be shrunk down just like 15% yeah yeah yeah what's with everything being way over it's really oversized to me uh
36:46
but other than that I really like the design I think it's cool I and and I do like it it's not one that I would buy
36:51
but I also don't get the hate that people have for it but you know everyone's got their own opinions and [Music]
36:58
almost everyone is wrong all the time so um it's fine I'm used to it all righty um thank you to the
37:05
listeners uh and we will see you next
37:11
[Music] [Applause]
