[00:00:42] Wir sind in der Box. Wir sind in der Box. Wir sind in der Box. Wir sind in der Box. Let's go, Devil. So, let's dive in and get to it. What have everybody doing today? You guys doing good? Doing good? Doing good?

[00:00:53] Will we Bob Dylan sound like if he said it actually Chris and I wonder? Would you know what he's saying? If he said what you just said? You do. I can't do in a personation man.

[00:01:02] He did break out between songs and he said something in sound like that. He turned to me and said, what did he say? No one knows. We're talking about that before we sign on tonight. I was going to ask you guys a question.

[00:01:23] I figured I'll save it till now for the hell of it. But what is the band you've seen that you didn't expect to be? A band that just totally blew you away. You didn't, maybe they're openers, right?

[00:01:34] They're just on the show and you don't know how they are. You've heard of them and they just totally stole the show. Maybe one of the best shows you've ever seen. What is one of the worst?

[00:01:42] I mean, I'll tell you my first, my best I've been to which I think I might have told Chris before. But I've been a Florida. The same day in Mickey Manel died. I think Jerry Garcia died the same day, maybe too.

[00:01:51] I went to go see a show over in St. Petersburg. It was a band called Spiebersby, he's called Rathchau, the American 80s. But they had a band, opened up for them, called or they opened up actually for a band called

[00:02:02] Ugly Kid Joe, which we all knew Ugly Kid Joe from like Wains World or whatever else, right? But I tell you guys why, when I saw them at this little club and that singer, Kran Wulfield. I have not heard of voice like that.

[00:02:14] That might have been one of the best vocal performances I ever saw. I mean, just blew me away. I had no idea. And to this day, now I consider this guy one of the best singers in that.

[00:02:22] I don't know what kind of genre that was like a weird, like the 90s. So it was like a kind of like metal, but kind of like rock. But what's something you guys saw that just totally, that you didn't expect to be killer?

[00:02:31] Well, I'm a fish fan, grateful dead fan. I like Jan Bands. There's a band called Mo, who back in probably the, or maybe mid 90s. Maybe this was like 98, maybe late 90s. I had never heard of them.

[00:02:50] I never saw them in concert and our buddy Rick is also another guy big in the jam bans. So he had gotten a few tickets to see this band Mo at the state theater in New Brunswick.

[00:03:02] Dan and his wife, it was girlfriend at the time, was going to school up in rockers. So we ended up going up to the show and then after the show we all hung out and we were hanging out having another time. So that's the state theater.

[00:03:14] Never heard one song from this band. From about two and a half hours I stood there with like my mouth a gap of how amazing they were musically. So I would say that show and from that point on I probably seen Mo about 40 times since then. Exactly.

[00:03:31] Yeah, well that was the first time and it was just they were, I didn't know what to do. I was too expect, yeah go check them out. See if I like them they were amazing.

[00:03:41] So they're probably the one band that I would say wasn't expecting anything and fell in love with them. Yeah, I didn't know well maybe there's more of my ignorance because they weren't completely unknown but

[00:03:53] I don't know if they had maybe just released a first album when tool got put on the you know small stage for the second. I think it was law of blueser. So they had the small stage and I didn't know who this band was.

[00:04:07] And it's like this is I've never heard anything like this. And who are these guys, yeah? It was cool. They're like looking back on and it's like kind of like well everybody knows they're a great band but I had never heard of them.

[00:04:18] So that means Dan we were living to listen to them up in the apartment if you remember over in the city. Oh yeah, just gotten I think it was I don't know what it which album it was.

[00:04:25] I think was the first EP or something mean you were jamming them. That's the first time I heard them was actually with you I believe. Yep, yeah, I just found them by accident at law of blueser because remember on those days of the huge festival

[00:04:36] and they had like some real small acts. Chili pepper. And I was probably like an addition to the big one stuff. Was that like probably when you were still in high school?

[00:04:46] Like was that like yeah, I was like a little bit too old and I think that was the one that like pro jam had in headline. Some work from my thinking. I don't remember which one. No, no, there's no. There's no one's problem.

[00:04:58] I think fear and alcohol and it's called and then I didn't see any shows when they didn't want live. But then they album before that. I'm trying to remember the name of it that we went to that dance Dan right?

[00:05:09] We went to the arts center we saw them was so helpful yeah, I remember you know some of you we saw them at the Predential Center one I think we saw them at the arts center once or twice.

[00:05:18] I know I've seen them a bunch with you two or three times at least. Even at continental we saw actually I get confused because it was perfect circle and I've always confusing which show is where we saw perfect circle at continental I think.

[00:05:32] Renovic circle I know I saw perfect circle in AC. Yeah, I saw perfect circle at convention hall. I think I don't know if I saw them with you at the continental. I think I only saw them two times. So I'll fade it into the dismissal.

[00:05:48] How about you about was your band? So in college I was a big fan of Rob Zombie I still am but he was coming around. He was actually the opening band for a band that I'm surprised I didn't really know at the time and that was corn.

[00:06:00] So I went really to seize on. He stuck around for corn of course. God's experience them live and that kind of thrust me into enjoying watching that area. Listen to them.

[00:06:09] The other one I didn't quite become a fan of but I still loved it was I see them my first or second concert ever. They either opened up for Metallica or the Guns and Rose with Metallica show and that was Pantera.

[00:06:20] Okay, and I never heard of them at least corn. I kind of maybe heard of just didn't know if I liked them but there was Pantera way back in day. But yeah definitely corn be the one that six out of the band that immediately I bought their albums.

[00:06:32] Like coming at it. I think it was a shoots and ladder type of times when I came out so yeah I was going. Now a band that I didn't see live but had the same effect the first time I heard them. I remember like it was yesterday.

[00:06:45] I used to watch 120 minutes on MTV all the time and just kind of get a feeling of you know new bands that were out and stuff and it was always like that genre music that I like.

[00:06:54] You know it was hanging out with my buddy Sean at the time and we were watching 120 minutes on a sleep in his house.

[00:06:59] I was probably in like 8th maybe 9th grade and they were introducing a new band from Los Angeles and it was the video and song Mountain Song from James Addiction. And I can never heard anything like that before.

[00:07:15] And I just remember staring at the TV like who the fuck are these guys? That's why we have song hits hard like the whole vibe in the first place. Come on out of nowhere exactly. That's why song you hear things in the song. And that's a great act.

[00:07:30] And read that in a ritual day a little bit. Yeah they're probably the only two out good albums that they have. A bunch of releases that are least good from start to finish you know. But that. Think I'm bad enough. September to see them. The war? Yeah.

[00:07:46] The accidently ball like twice as many tickets as he needs. So he's getting rid of them. So we're trying to shore that up for the dates you know babysitters and all that stuff. And then try it around here. That's a very cool. Yeah. You know Panterers back right?

[00:07:58] They're back there doing. Yeah they're doing. They got Zach Wilde playing with them. You know taking over for dimeback because he was murdered on stage obviously. And Charlie from Anthrax, playing drums. Oh wow. Yeah. I was actually just listening to an anthrax the other day.

[00:08:13] It's funny you brought that up. Yeah. Kind of listening for ever. That's funny. Okay Chris, a Joey does Joey Belladonna does the was it farner? Does the farner cover band too? Does he really? Yeah. That was nice. I forgot that they did bring the noise with public enemy.

[00:08:30] That was so great mix man. I saw them do that in New York at the Clash of the Titans at the Garden with PA. Yes it was a house in chains. It opened. So I also changed the boot and then we're going to talk about hockey.

[00:08:41] I also changed the boot and then it was Slayer, Mega Death, Anthrax and Public Enemy. And Public Enemy played with Anthrax and they did bring the noise. That's awesome. Yep. Anthrax. Buying bootlegs shirts outside that was the time. I was back in the early 90s. All right.

[00:08:58] Hold the show down for two seconds. Okay. Okay. Cool. So what do you think about some of the, we're going to talk about some of the moves today. It's been crazy. The three agency was nuts to the. I mean, I'm trying to kind of keep up from afar.

[00:09:10] You know, it was literally on vacation up until about an hour ago. I still got wet clothes on my suitcase. Some definitely trying to keep tabs all I could say before we dive into kind of each move is as a package. Like this is really exciting.

[00:09:22] Like we're blowing up your really starting to see. Yeah. You really start to see. You know, what's what's coming up. It looks pretty awesome. So from the, so I won't ever schedule a vacation again that starts on draft day and ends on the first day for agency. Yeah.

[00:09:37] That was an hard, it's a keep up with. But definitely a much different team than before today. Much different. Old faces back to you. I mean, it's been crazy afternoon. I don't know what you guys talked about yet. But we're kind of done with the show actually.

[00:09:54] We hate every day. We're on the right. So wherever you're listening to us, we're going to thank you guys. You've been showed us again. You're a, you're a, you're a, you're a. Listen, I mean, first of all. I think it's hysterical.

[00:10:08] What after Friday and the trades, that for the whole smooth and the marino move and every, the devil Twitter of course, they were ready to just, you know, tar and feather, Tom Fitzgerald

[00:10:21] And you know, I look at moves like that like these early moves, especially when you know you're two or three days away from free agency and things opening up. It's like after an NFL draft right where everyone's out there, grading the teams and saying, oh, they got fleas.

[00:10:36] They did this first of all. Tell me in three years, four years how that draft one, you know, right?

[00:10:42] So it's like, you know, how can you sit here and say we got Tom Fitzgerald doesn't know what he's doing when you don't even know what the team's going to look like. Calm down, take a deep breath. And then you see what he did today.

[00:10:54] I don't know how you can look at this team right now. And there's still move or two that needs to be made. But I don't know how you can look at this team and say, this team isn't going to be a contender for these.

[00:11:04] First move should be the first move where he was moving, schmid and holds it was obviously not about just that deal. Right. You know, we're going to get a lot back in that move. That move was a setup move.

[00:11:18] You know, that move was to make room for what came through today. You know, you got to look at it, the whole picture. I do think that maybe we could have probably gotten a little bit more for Marino than the two picks, but I get it.

[00:11:31] He needed to clear off the cap space. He needed to do it quick as far as the holds and schmid thing. If it holds wasn't going to do anything on this team. Like I don't know if Holtz is going to be a dirty goal score somewhere else.

[00:11:44] And I've watched the guy play on an off now for a year and a half, two years. I don't necessarily know if he's going to be a really good top six forward.

[00:11:54] And schmid is what our force, maybe at this point possibly even fifth goalie on our depth chart right now. Like and you got back Paul Cotter who is going double fans are going to fall in love with Paul Cotter within the first month of the season.

[00:12:09] Like he is currently trying to pass. He's only got 26 goals in the, like it's not, that's not all he brings to a team. Right. No, it's not. He does have deceptively good hands. The die can score. He's super easy on that.

[00:12:24] I think he's only 24 or 25 years old. He hits, he blocks shots. He does everything that we've said at a million times. We had a couple more Curtis Lazarus on this team. Well, we just got one that's probably plays better than Curtis Lazarus.

[00:12:38] You know, this is a great move. And you know, talking about some of those moveskris right there. You know, I think that's what I was mentioned. It kind of shows you where they were on schmid.

[00:12:48] And I felt like this, I think we're even at the end of the last round. We all, and we all, basically saved us from the Rangers. You know, that way, I'll never forget that. Holds, we've been staying all along, you know, the maybe changes.

[00:13:00] Good. I'm a look at Sharon Govich. What he got like seven or eight years today. He leaves. He just has five and a half million, I think. So how do you deal? Get paid.

[00:13:07] I mean, it with holds, you know, I heard this was someone else talking about this. But I thought about it, made a lot of sense. And we've even talked about it on this show. You look at him with all the coaches he's dealt with.

[00:13:17] And like, you know, when he goes and even when he went, who do you play with? The healthy play with the Olympics. He played just played a series with. Oh, you got that. He got bench after four games, he's five games. Yes, look my mind.

[00:13:30] But, and you look at what the devils, even with our, with the GM, with our team, with their coaches, there's just seems to be something with holds. We don't know exactly what it is, but there's got to be something.

[00:13:38] There's just no way that everybody has this anger towards him. You know, or there's something that he wasn't... It wasn't his Lindy, you know? He couldn't have been publicly figured that he was in Lindy's doghouse, but I have a suspicion of what way deeper.

[00:13:51] And like you said, if that kind of thing followed him even to the Olympics, so maybe it's a good change for the devils and for holds. Well, what's from the best book? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, my mind was slipping on that one.

[00:14:04] Yeah. And Dan, would you think, you know, as with the goalie, things, I know your goalie guy, which, I think it's good that we let him go now and got rid of him because we actually got something for him. Yeah, the little guy sits there not playing...

[00:14:18] He's not gonna play this year, but I think those things have to be disaster for him to play this year. We know that, right? We made the move for Markstra. We've got, you know, take Alan. Where is his home on this team?

[00:14:28] So his value's going to drop for every part of the season that he's not playing. And, you know, so... You know, the marino move, you know, we netted the 49-to-pick from Utah, which turned into... Who is it?

[00:14:42] Mikhail, you're a guy, or if the Russian, the first Russian, first goalie off the board, I think yesterday, right? Right. And he's supposed to be a really good prospect, so... Yeah, we're talking years down the line, but he looks promising. He's a big kid, right? Like, 65 or something?

[00:14:56] He's a good boy, yeah. So we got two goalies in the draft. The other guy that we got was... We eat VT, Louis Vara. It's L-O-U-H-I-V-A-A-R-A. He went into his name. He went in the fifth round 146. So we have two goals.

[00:15:16] You're thinking, Danico sits when they get these guys and looks at the names. He's like, oh shit. Yeah. Can we just call you Lou? You know, Lou Vara? But, you know, I don't know anything about these guys. That's the crowd we do.

[00:15:28] He's killing it, it would be like, Lou. Yeah, sure. Anton Silly has supposed to be a stud. I mean, it was he's 12 feet tall, this dude. He's a big boy. He's a big boy. Six, seven.

[00:15:43] You know, I like everything that we've done so far and we'll about to get into the big stuff. You know, before you move on, I think that it's important to point out that

[00:15:52] not only all the moves that were made for today and for like literally catapulting us back to contention, but when you really start to put all these puzzle pieces together, there was a lot of moves specifically planned out for three, four years from right now.

[00:16:08] Our number one picked 10th overall. For example, his timeline lines up perfectly with where Dylan will be expiring. And there are similar big body type of guy like this is the kind of foresight you have to have going forward.

[00:16:21] Not to mention, I think it's an excellent pick at number 10 just in general. So he's, you know, if it's Gerald really is kind of piecing together for this year and for the future, you know, we're schmiddly even like you said, death move, he's probably fourth on the list.

[00:16:36] Maybe fifth got a couple of guys in front of them. Look at the timeline with the goalies we have now kind of make sense, but you don't know exactly what you're going to have in Dozer, Polter who's the other guy right?

[00:16:46] Yeah, Polter is probably the other guy that's bloody up in Newtookup. So maybe they come in and they're not absolutely perfect now. We wound up getting this really big Russian gold tender as kind of assurance. So there's a lot of assurance is going forward.

[00:16:59] And a lot of other depth moves that are going to be helpful during the season. I know we'll probably get to that, so it's not all just at surface pieces. There's a lot that happened in these last couple days. You guys saw they bought in Colton Whiteback.

[00:17:12] Remember you remember Colton White right? Yeah. He came back into the ass. I mean, you know, you know, you look at the moon. You look at the moves and the big moves that happened today.

[00:17:21] And to me, I mean, we've always talked about all season, the defenses in issue and we, you know, but we didn't have depth at all last year. Even when are these like this year you look at our decor and then look at the depth of our decor.

[00:17:37] Like if a guy goes out, like if Hamilton goes down for a few weeks, you know, maybe Mrs. eight nine ten games where we shouldn't be in the position we were last year. You know, our depth of guys now are like decimone, pataka, cove civic, right?

[00:17:52] We got him from Montreal today. Another guy that can step in, but you know, let's talk about the big ones. Brett Peschy six years five and a half A.A.V. This is huge man.

[00:18:04] I just saw an interview with him on the NHL Network and I'm telling him he's going to fit in really good. They asked him, you know, you grew up in the New York area.

[00:18:12] You know, your family, your friends in that area now, you know, you're getting some blowback. You know, are they Ranger fans? He goes, no, nobody's a Ranger fan anymore. I think that's it. That's what he was done. He's done nope. No, no, we're double fans now.

[00:18:28] There's no Ranger fans in there. So I did like that, but he is super excited to be here. I think he's going to just play awesome. He got the other one Brendan Dylan. Three years at was it 4 million A.V.

[00:18:41] Yes, so 12 million for him for three years, like he said Bobby, three years down the road after that if you don't resign himself, silly of comes in and you can hopefully if your plan works out, be able to just plug in play in a couple of years,

[00:18:56] but our defensive core guys is going to be their projected defense right now at Seigen Thor, in Hamilton, Peshian, Hughes and Nammitchen Dylan. Right. And that's assuming everybody players on the correct side. Yeah, that's how you would line it up.

[00:19:12] That's a logical way to line it up, which is utterly fantastic. I don't think anybody's fully grasp exactly how good this defense can be now in a few years from now. You got Luke and Nammitchen in year two, which is always good, right? Little experience.

[00:19:27] We actually have stayed home guys now, pressure off a guy's like Seigen Thor. It's almost like we got Hamilton for the first year because we didn't have him last year. This is a completely revamped defense that maybe with the exception of Hamilton

[00:19:40] are probably all still going a little bit north for a while, especially a few of them. So if a big body goes down now, we've got depth of other big bodies that are going to slide in, fill that role for a little while.

[00:19:52] And if one of our more skilled offensive guys go down, obviously we saw what happens when we lose Hamilton all year and we don't ever want to have that happen. But if we do lose one of him or Luke or Nammitchen for a period of time,

[00:20:04] the other two of those three are completely capable of catching that all that's load and quarterback in the power play. And they're locked in. This is locked in for three, four years. I love the move of getting nases in back too.

[00:20:17] I mean, I've watched him in a play last year. I was impressed. Is that your favorite move? What's your favorite move? That's, I love that move. I don't know, I mean, that's probably one of my favorites, but I was really psyched. I watched his press conference too, man.

[00:20:33] He's got the teeth knocked out now and stuff. He's he wanted to be back in Jersey. I love hearing that there always actually adds to it for me, man. When you want to come back, then I just gives me certain little thing about it, man. It's nice.

[00:20:45] You know, our biggest complaint and everyone in the league said it about us, right? We're soft and we're easy to play against. There's no chance. If you come in this year, thinking that's the devil team you're going to get.

[00:20:56] You're going to be in for a rude awakening because this team is not soft anymore, man. Now you have a team that has stuff on nascent, Paul Cotter, the two of you guys we just mentioned. Timo Myers, McDermott, McDermott, McDermott, McDermott.

[00:21:09] Oh my God, I forgot about the Curtis Lazar. Like, there's some grit there, man. What did my cardmen do today from Chicago? He's like a six-two guy, please the wing, but they bought him. And like a couple hours ago, I saw the hookdown with the team. Yeah, Chicago.

[00:21:27] He's only played. I was 37 games in NHL, but so he was the biggest move that we didn't make today. You kind of wish we had Marcha saw. Yeah. It was up for grabs. Pretty good. Yeah. Well, yeah. That was not good. I didn't think that was exactly that.

[00:21:46] It looked like there was a chance at Marcha, so didn't it? Kevin did. He had a chance. He came out and said, I'm Marcea saw in the doubles we're close to a deal. And then, you know, Nashville swooped in and signed everybody, apparently. Yeah, I'm sure. Old Sergeant.

[00:22:02] Man, what an offseason there happened. Bobby, what were you going to say? So looking back at the players, we were just talking about other than getting to this, who's going to play with Jack.

[00:22:11] There's a lot of different stats going around from a lot of different people about the increased number of hits we've added to our teams. You know, it's in the hundreds.

[00:22:17] You got to factor in some of the people that aren't here, but everybody knows you take all those players you talked about. Hundreds of hundreds and more hits in the season. And it kind of got me thinking, you remember Danny McGrath from Billy Madison. Yeah.

[00:22:30] The cycle with the kill list, like people to kill. Yeah. It's going to be like the Devil's next year. Like teams to kill. Like all the teams that did them wrong this year. They're just going to let them off. It's going to be a lot of fun.

[00:22:39] And there's a chance to be happy. Yeah. The whole team. I mean, how do you look? If you're a guy like, you could say Jack and you know, Brad, he's sure now you actually have guys that can take care of, you know, these guys, we've said it, right?

[00:22:57] He's used to get hit constantly. Like I mean, they just keyed on him and nobody would do anything about it. Like that's not going to happen anymore. So, you know, these guys are going to have more space. They're going to have more time to do their stuff.

[00:23:10] And we, and every one of these guys on our defense. I mean, every one of them can move the puck. Every one of them is that good first outlet pass to get our guys going. Like the defense.

[00:23:22] And then you, in behind them, we have Jacob fucking marks from guys. Like this team is looking so good. And I know we said this last year too. But last year it was like, hey, look how great we did the year prior. We're running it back.

[00:23:36] We should be just as good. And then when we saw all the deficiencies, and now it's like, okay, the deficiencies, Tom Fitzgerald said he knew exactly what this team needed. Kind of looks like it. To me, my favorite move is Paul Codder.

[00:23:48] I think that he's going to, just, I think he's going to play great on this team. I love that he's here. That's my favorite one. I mean, you see, he makes under a million too. Isn't that crazy? Is that only me? Yeah, he makes, I think it's like 775.

[00:24:03] Wow. Wow, that's a steal. So what do you guys think? We didn't get the big forward that we saw it. I mean, there's still guys out there. But we didn't get, it was looking like there was some talk. A devil's interested in St. Kosen, devil's interested in March.

[00:24:20] So, and devil's interested in Jacob, the bros. They all ended up going other places. And Tom Fitzgerald said he put off for us out. So I think he probably made off for us to all three of those guys. And they went wherever else for whatever reasons. Yeah.

[00:24:33] So I was disappointed. I mean, I was disappointed. I was disappointed. In my mind. I would really got it. I mean, March is all what have been great. I didn't really think St. Kosen was ever really a possibility. But I thought the bros was.

[00:24:46] I didn't think that Jake the bros could have been a really good ad here. But there are still a few guys out there. To think that Chris seven years. The bros got seven years of five and a half, I believe. So he got a big deal.

[00:25:01] That's the problem. I mean, in a way I'm okay with this because it looks like the names that we would have loved to see here on offense came in a big price tag. And I haven't done the calculations here.

[00:25:13] But it looked like he's putting his money and the defense. Yeah. That is probably more important. You know, defense and even just team grit is probably a little bit more important than getting that other big forward that we would like. Yeah. I mean, theoretically we are concerned.

[00:25:30] I'm sorry, I got Bobby. I'll let that later. I mean, theoretically we are concerned, you know, who's the big winner that's going to play with Jack. But realistically, I mean, we have four bona fide top two line guys and right now everyone's got three of them

[00:25:46] penciled in together, leaving Jack to Kona is going to play with Mercer and Pilot. What's he going to do? We don't know that that has to be the way it is anymore.

[00:25:54] You could take two of our top four go back to split in those guys up, fill in the gaps other ways like the Secora type of situation. You know what I mean?

[00:26:02] And otherwise it could come from a trade, you know, people were down on Dawson Mercer being up on that line. Well, maybe he's going to go up on that line hit 30 goals. You know, we don't know. I would want a little protection from that line.

[00:26:13] So maybe to do that, maybe it is time for Andre Pilot to get a little more time under a new coach slightly different system. Give the guy a pass and see what he does.

[00:26:22] Personally, I feel like he's still at their line kind of guy for where he is in his career. But maybe that pans out. We don't know. Bottom line? I'd like to see somebody else come in. Somebody who fit with Jack a little better.

[00:26:33] I proposed on the last show and I was thinking about this but only because it this was like my I don't have a member we talked about. I didn't have a spot for a whole so I can't cannot figure out where to help. He was going to play.

[00:26:44] So I was thinking, well, if we didn't move holes, of course now this conversation is all for not because he's gone. But I was saying, what it work to put maybe the first line of Nico Hiescher centering let's say Pilot and Brad.

[00:26:57] And then Jack centering, Mercer and Maya. And then moving holes down with Paula and foot on that third line. Now this is before all this stuff happened. So you know, I agree with you. Maybe Pilot can play up in the top sets.

[00:27:15] I mean, I would rather than go out and get somebody else but at the same time, you know, I think you're right.

[00:27:23] He does belong and plays better and more of a spot that I think is more suited for his talents and where he is now in his career as a third line. You know, but where does Nason play? He's a win.

[00:27:35] I know, but where do you see is he's not a top six guy as he? I looked at him as a bottom two, bottom six guy. Yeah, bottom six.

[00:27:46] I mean, I would even probably prefer him as a starter on the fourth with occasional third line, you know, kind of flip-flops.

[00:27:53] But I would say one thing about him, I hated when he left and every time we played Carolina, he showed me exactly why I hated when he left. He was a pest to us. He seemed like he always scored against us.

[00:28:04] One of those guys, it was just like a heart and soul type of guy. So you probably put him anywhere in that bottom six and get the benefit from him. It's just going to be figuring out where he best benefits with kind of ice-time and roll.

[00:28:16] He was a guy we all agreed that we missed. I remember talking about him. But I was like, yeah, nobody won him. But I mean, I give Tom Fitzgerald an A+. For what he's done over to that from the Friday night to now.

[00:28:27] I mean, this team now looks really tough and we all know they can score. And I think that their offense is going to explode even more now that we have guys that in the back end. You can take a chance here and there.

[00:28:40] And it's not going to end up in the back of the net. It's still a really fast team with a really skilled team. They just added some extra part pieces in the middle and the bottom that they really needed.

[00:28:50] Foundational pieces that you know, like you said, are going to let the skilled guys do their thing more. And if we don't do anything else, if you just physically can't find another way through trade or whatever, take the three something million we have, right?

[00:29:06] And you get towards a trade deadline. That's going to look a lot bigger than that number. And who's to say a guy like no one foot takes a team this year and everybody just assumes, eh, just going to throw him on the fourth line.

[00:29:16] Who's to say, heaven, his big six two 200 pound body doesn't come in and wind up being like the perfect line compliment to a smaller Jack and Dawson Mercer. He doesn't have to be like an all star.

[00:29:27] He has to perform well on that line and do his particular job. You never know, like that could work out too. We're not dead in the water if we go into the year. A brand new person on that way. What do you think about Terrasank? I'm completely great.

[00:29:43] I love it. If Terrasanko at this point is like a reasonable acceptable contract, I would totally take a flyer on for the year. Why not? I was thinking the whole time taking a flyer and I think I texted this to you Tony was Jeff Skinner.

[00:29:57] I said, hey, I'm in Tintick them up. I was going to ask if he wanted to ask when I was here. Yeah, so I would like to see you got released from Buffalo.

[00:30:05] So you probably could have gotten them for one to million dollars and had a guy that can probably score you 30 goals. So that would have been nice. But he's over in Edmonton. The most secret Terrasanko I mean, obviously he's also Henrik out there.

[00:30:20] I mean, you might want that. I couldn't, I wouldn't rule out of the picture either. Those are the only fan favorite. I don't know how much she fills that role. We're talking about right. Great. Even Terrasanko. I don't know how much he, I mean,

[00:30:33] Florida used him in the third, third line winner this year. And he played great with the time there. I don't know what he was playing with Ottawa before that probably up in the top six. I don't know. But I agree with Bobby 100%.

[00:30:46] If this is our team, it's still a damn the team. Regardless of who's playing up with Jack, I trust that Sheldon Gief. It was all the depth and all the players that we have. I do trust that we're going to have 12 really, really good followers lines.

[00:30:59] I'm really excited to see in preseason if he's going to pair Meyer and Hughes much and just see if that's an option again. That changes a lot of things. If you can put Meyer's and Hughes together, Meyer, that's the possibility.

[00:31:17] I mean personally, that's what I would like to say.

[00:31:20] I mean for whatever reason with Lindy Ruff coaching a bit more, whether that was that there was no chemistry between the guys or it was just Lindy didn't give him enough time to kind of marinate and see what they can do and form some type of a cohesive unit

[00:31:35] or possibly just Lindy Ruff being incompetent in a lot of other ways and team Meyer, hating to play for him maybe that also had something to do with it. So you know, a lot of after Lindy left.

[00:31:46] Yeah so maybe what Sheldon Gief put in those two together, maybe that's the formula that works but I am so excited for this year. And remember what we were talking about the preseason schedule and well, right. Marty Seen.

[00:32:03] Yeah, Marty Beeran was talking because he does I guess color accommodating for Buffalo. So they're there to team were playing to have the exact same problem. They're playing a preseason game the day before. They're supposed to go to check and play in Prague for the season opener.

[00:32:19] Apparently, the main team is not playing those last two preseason games or at least the last play up preseason game. They're playing now and the play is whoever's left and who I don't know maybe Marty Brodojo, Coach that team, you know that game or whatever.

[00:32:38] I don't know what they're going to do but apparently it's just going to be some sloppies out there and you know, not our actual team which is weird that even do that.

[00:32:47] Why you even have the game, I feel like people are going to come out to that game and if they don't know this they're going to be pissed. Right. It's not one or two guys missing out like the last gig.

[00:32:57] There's nobody on this team that's going to be on your professional team. Now we're just going to play somebody just giving devil jerseys. I'm going to NHL preseason games. Sorry.

[00:33:06] As they walk in they tell them put your comment jersey there and put your devil jersey on there and head on out there and Kevin Deen's just going to coach him for the last preseason game. But you know, who do you think got worse?

[00:33:19] Oh, it's a pretty easy. It is easy isn't it? I think we all know this one. They have to be. They got plunged. They're like the left. They're left with nobody. They tried so hard for Jake. Get soul. He said, no, thank you.

[00:33:41] And this is what happens when you're an organization that just refuses to play players. You know, eventually they just don't want to be there. But they lost. I have it here. So this is who they lost.

[00:33:55] Max Pompenteu, Stefan Nason, Tebelterrebein and Jake Getzel, Toni DeAngelo, Brett Peshie, Brady Shea and Anti-Ronta. That's who left. And I don't know who and they got William Carrier, Tyson Yoast and Eric Robinson. Yeah, I couldn't tell you who those three dudes are. I've heard of Tyson Yoast.

[00:34:21] Don't really know anything about them though. That's who they got. Like this is a team that is... This is officially a rebuild for them. What do they do? I don't think it's a rebuild. I think they just...

[00:34:33] They mean they still have their Sebastian Ahos and who's just signed a big deal with them, the Defenseman. But you know, I just don't understand it. They just let all these guys walk out. I don't know what they're planning on doing but... I can't say that.

[00:34:51] Yeah, they got paid too. They got paid. What did they do? Seven years? Yeah, seven years? Seven years? Seven years? Yeah, so... So Nashville walks away today with Brady Shade, Jonathan Marcher, so in Steven Stamcos. Locked up all of them locked up long-term. Crazy.

[00:35:08] It's an interesting team right now. I saw a lot of the reaction from my Tampa friends and you know on all of the social media and everything. And it's very... They're all very depressed man. I get it.

[00:35:20] You know, because he was like their guy and everyone, they're actually really pissed off. A lot of people are not happy with him. I'm not happy with him. I would be pissed too because I think that your general manager, who is the Leraine Breeze

[00:35:33] Long, is your general manager over there in Tampa? I think he's really good but I don't understand the logic of thinking that Jake gets so who I like and I think he's a very good player but I just can't see him being Steven Stamcos's replacement.

[00:35:50] It's like when we replaced, you know, tried to replace Scott Gomez with Dina Zubers. Like it wasn't the same guy, didn't do the same things and it just didn't work out. I just don't see... I think Jake gets a little bit fine there.

[00:36:05] I think he'll put up some stuff but Steven Stamcos brought a different element into that team. And it's just something that I don't think that Jake gets a little can do. So I think...

[00:36:13] That's the expectation on him whether he likes or not, whether you want to admit or not. The fans are going to think it that way. The media might even portray it that way if they're trying to soften the blow.

[00:36:24] But the thing in Stamcos was pissed at the end of last year, right? He wanted to be extended and, you know, the kind of victim around, think he went in this year with a chip on his shoulder too. I think you...

[00:36:34] I think, you know, in the end of the business and you do want to win now. I have a soft spot for a kind of long-tenured guy like that. I think you should try to give them something to keep around like...

[00:36:46] ...anytiel was, you know, tonight was talking about, you know, Sydney Krauseby, for example. Like, whether the penguins eventually going to do there, right? I mean, some major legacy player is kind of earned the right to kind of get that last contract, you know, playing your 40s, stick around.

[00:37:00] But what would he want to do? Like, if somebody wanted to bring him to like a number one attempt would he go? I think he might. I think that if Pittsburgh's not going to make the play a sound there. No, they're falling down.

[00:37:12] And so if he's playing for Pittsburgh next year, and I'm just going to use Devils as the example, right? Where in first place in the metro or maybe second place in the metro? Really looking good. There may be fifth, sixth in the metro.

[00:37:26] There's no chance to make an apply-offs. If you're...first of all, ownership and pros-be, have to look at this... If ownership and management has to look at it and say, look, like you said, these legacy generational die.

[00:37:39] Even though he's a little bit up there in age, he still has a lot of value. So if we are really going to rebuild this team, what's the best way to do it? You got to move off of Sydney Cross Me.

[00:37:49] And also, you know, it's Cross Me going to say at some point, like you just said, like guys, you know, I've done everything I can for this franchise and I've given everything that I have to it. But I really want another shot at a cup. So trade me.

[00:38:03] Like, why get trapped? I mean, people are talking now. He's got to think about whether he wants to stay with Ebenton and so that he has to put anywhere near the time that Cross Me has. Sometimes people are thinking, well, Cross Me, now you have to retire here.

[00:38:16] No, not necessarily. And like you said, it might be good for the organization to get value. I don't know what the percentage is, but most of the time this is how it ends for the grades.

[00:38:25] They must have made that move in their last couple years with the team that they made all their success with early on. Let's just like Washington where I think of Eskinn probably said to them, hey, you better start picking up a bunch of pieces this week.

[00:38:37] Because I mean, I don't know what the hell is going on over there. Like, I don't either. They're acting like they're good team and they're not. And it's just one of those teams that I don't think is going to get out of the mushy middle.

[00:38:47] I just think that they have, like, there's no middle road for them. It's like they either have some really good high end players or they just have some dog crap. So I don't know how that's going to work. And I don't trust Pierre Luke Dubois.

[00:39:00] I know that they think he's going to come in and be this number one center for Obechgen. Pierre Luke Dubois, when you watch him play, like this dude gives zero fuck 90% of the time.

[00:39:10] And I don't think him in Obechgen are going to have a very good working relationship together. That's what I think. But Washington, I don't know what they're doing, but you're right. Like Washington knows that this is the biggest record in the history of hockey.

[00:39:23] And we have to keep him here because it's going to keep us relevant. Even if we're not making the playoffs, people are still going to pay attention to the capitals. His wife 42 goals away. Like this guy has a great year. It'll happen this year.

[00:39:34] But I don't think it's going to happen when Pierre looked at Wav. But you're right, telling like they're trying to just put enough pieces around them to keep him happy. And I think as soon as that record is reached, it's full on rebuild in Washington.

[00:39:47] Yeah, it's like a house on the margins at this place. But I do think that at the trade deadlines didn't need Crosby. And let's somewhere Pittsburgh is right there and can make the playoffs. But I don't see it. I think Crosby is playing for another team come March.

[00:40:05] He has to know in his heart of hearts when he's with the team. Even if they were a bubble team, right about to make the playoffs, with their recent success and all that.

[00:40:14] It's just really not likely that you're going to be an actual Stanley Cup contender at this point. So some of this retire talk, it's got to be on the player too. They need to be honest with themselves too.

[00:40:25] If it's that important for them to retire in that one jersey, then they have to go into that last contract negotiation, knowing that maybe taking a year less than they had hoped for, understanding their new role.

[00:40:37] It's got to be too cited, which is why I kind of get props to Tampa Bay's general manager because a lot of times when the Superstars like we said they stick around, you're not really building around him.

[00:40:47] You just throw in some pieces, you're trying to stay kind of motion metal, maybe make a play off, maybe don't. And it doesn't, usually doesn't work even the devils. We were kind of plugging away for a couple years.

[00:40:57] It was really probably started, you should have started the rebuild earlier. This guy came in and this is how he wants to run the team. He's kind of cutting that off. It's like, no, I'm not going to do it this way.

[00:41:06] This is the way I have to do it. I don't want to already go down to, you know, that irrelevancy because I keep, I don't want to keep saying I just keep waiting for Tampa to take that step back and last year they didn't again.

[00:41:18] And now this year I'll make a finally they got rid of Stamco's and comes get so somewhat, well, when are they ever going to take the step back? I still think it's going to eventually happen because that good for that long, that's what happens.

[00:41:28] Same thing's going to happen to us again. All the top end players that were paying their next contracts, we can't keep them all. That's where real hard to sit and come. It's heiser or hues, you know what I mean? Or which hues?

[00:41:41] And it could be, there are already saying that Luke's next contract could be bigger than Jacks and that's just part of the market. That's just where we are. That's where Jack was. Yes, salary caps going up. It's inflation.

[00:41:53] You know, you look at last year's free agency as opposed to this year's free agency. Last year when it was the static across the board as far as the salary cap goes and everything. That's kind of one year, deals last year. There's no teams had any money.

[00:42:06] And now you're seeing the big six, seven, eight-year deals for a lot of these guys because the cap went up and that's just going to keep on happening. So you already have got eight years from the floor. Yeah, right? And we've got eight years of the floor.

[00:42:16] That's a good deal though. If you get, yeah, that's a good deal. If you get basically 75% of him, you know, for those eight years, your how would a player could let him go? That would have happened. Yeah. And they announced the next set of cap increases, is that,

[00:42:32] was that playing into this? Like when that happens? I think it went up what? Like three or four million this year and then it's supposed to go up anywhere from like eight to ten, I think, the year after. That's what I remember hearing that.

[00:42:44] Like what might be fuel in some of these longer term deals is like, not just what it went up this year but it's already announced that it's going up considerably over the next few years. Exactly. Yeah, what a game. What a game you got to play man.

[00:42:57] Not every franchise doesn't mean they're going to spend up to that limit and that's why there's a cap four. So you got to put something productive out there but realistically, and that that was one of them for decades. Wouldn't it make any freaking money? Right.

[00:43:09] Never sold out the building. I mean, that's, that's a tough place to be when you're trying to keep up. I don't want to get the kind of baseball where it's just like, hey, these teams got money and their ones are going to get everybody.

[00:43:19] I think hockey is going to do that. New Jersey has a more medium market. Definitely. We want a cap. Yeah, you have to. You're competing with much bigger cities and there's no way financial to keep it up in a capless situation.

[00:43:32] This is such a wonderful segue to our next exercise, guys. Oh, exercise. So the salary cap went in the place 2005 season, right? So before that, it was the Wild West and whoever had the most money can spend, you just spend whatever you want.

[00:43:49] You can buy your championships or at least attempt to. So I have a little exercise here. It's a little bit of data that we're going to do over and mostly this is just kind of explained to some of the maybe younger New Jersey Devil fans.

[00:44:01] Why our hatred towards the New York Rangers runs so deep? And maybe if they didn't know the information that we're about to give them, maybe this will add to them also hating the Rangers as much as we do. It's not just the cross river rival.

[00:44:15] It's not just because they get cheered when they come into our building. It's not all the other bullshit that we all know about. There's actual data that will show why we fucking hate them.

[00:44:26] So in the 1993-94 season, the League average payroll, now keep in mind there was no salary cap. You can spend whatever you want. The League average payroll was $12.9 million, think about that. Right. 12.9. Austin Matthews makes some more to that. Well, certainly not going to get back. Yeah, yeah.

[00:44:51] That's crazy. Exactly. Now that year, the highest payroll went to the Pittsburgh Penguins. They spent $20.7 million a year. There are two years removed from a Stanley Cup back to back-ups. The Devils that year spent slightly over the League average at 13.1 million.

[00:45:13] And the Cup winner that year were in New York Rangers at 19.4 million. They were the second highest in payroll. 94.95. League average went up quite a bit, $16 million. Los Angeles Kings had the highest payroll that year at 24.3 million.

[00:45:34] New Jersey Devils were also the eventual Stanley Cup winners at 18.6 million. So Devils traditionally always paid a little bit higher as you'll see throughout the course, but this is where it gets fun. 95.96. League average, 19.9 million. Highest payroll. New York Rangers, 31.8 million dollars. The Devils spent 21.1 million that year.

[00:46:01] Colorado spent 20.6 million. Ranger spent 11, almost 12 million dollars in payroll more than Colorado. That's a good word. That's a good word. Is that the Gratsky era for them, sir? I think that late 90s. Yeah, I think they were right around here. 97.98. The payroll went up league average to 26.6 million.

[00:46:27] 44.2 million was the highest payroll. That's the New York Rangers. The Devils were at 29.6 to Troy wins the cup with 28.4. 98.99. League average 29.2 million. Rangers, highest payroll with 39.9 million. Devils had 27.7 and the Dallas stars. We're also tired with the Rangers with the highest and they won the cup at 39.9.

[00:46:57] This is where things get crazy. 99.2,000. 31.7 million is the league average. The New York Rangers had the highest payroll at 55.5 million dollars. That's amazing. The Devils spent 35.7 million that year and Colorado won the cup that year. They also had a huge, what's the McCallot? Payroll at 50.5.

[00:47:22] Did I even do the 2000 season yet? Did I skip that? Thanks. I think he skipped it. 31.7 was the league average. 59.4 were the Rangers, the highest payroll in the league. 31.3 were the Devils and we also won the cup. Now we go to 0102, 37.5 million.

[00:47:41] The New York Rangers spent, where is that? I'm sorry. Did do do 69.2 million. Okay. 3.7 million. They spent 69 and it was a Devils spent 40 million to try it one at 64.4. 2002 2003 42.4 is the league average. 70.0 million is the Rangers highest in the league. Devils spent 51.2 and won the cup.

[00:48:13] So again, these dudes were at, where the salary cap was like just not too long ago. Wait back then. Spend 70 million dollars. Oh, 4.44 million. League average. New York Rangers spent 77.000 dollars on their payroll.

[00:48:32] Devils spent 48.1 and one of the lowest payrolls in the league won the cup that year at 33.5 million. That was the Tampa Bay Lightning. So out of these, what years I have here, 10 almost 10 years. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

[00:48:53] Nine of the 10 years, oh, I'm sorry, eight of the 10 years. The Rangers either had the highest payroll over tied with the highest payroll. And they got one Stanley Cup out of it and in turn took every fucking good player away from anybody else.

[00:49:08] And every other GM had to just try and, fucking connect dots with bullshit because this New York Yankee fucking type of team kind of... And just spent no on listening. I love the ice, but I hate the fact that they fucking do that.

[00:49:22] I hate all teams that try and buy championships. And that's exactly what the Rangers are doing. Since 93, 9, you can anymore. That's the beauty of this New York baseball. Was it yesterday Bobby Benier, Day? Oh, shut up with that shit. He's so good. So good.

[00:49:37] He's bringing up Bobby Benier. He's still being paid. There are a lot of contracts like that. Bobby Benier is just the one against Horne. He's hard. He's still getting paid for my own. So, I don't care about that. I don't care about that. But probably, cobalt.

[00:49:47] So this is never for the reason why we've always hated the Rangers. Right? And this is why their fans always think that they're so much better than everybody else because they always had these high price stars.

[00:49:59] But the thing is they never produce other than 93, 94, they never ever produced it. That's the hilarious part, isn't it? I mean, it's one thing to go, hey, it's not fair. It's a big city. They got all this money.

[00:50:10] But the hilarious part was they never really did a good job with it. No, no. They're lucky to have gotten the one cup out of that the way they managed things. A glänzester, right? For years, it was the GM, the Campbell. The thing was, yeah, camp.

[00:50:26] They were just looking to see what's the biggest name. Let me be by him. And they never had a vision for what their team should look like. I will tell you that, like, I think that this past season's Rangers kind of went against that grain.

[00:50:40] They made a real cohesive team there. And I credit the coach more than the GM, but the GM I guess has to take some credit there. Traditionally, the Rangers have been, who's the highest, give me the most expensive player? Yeah, those give me the most expensive one.

[00:50:53] Who's the Chinese? Who's the Chinese to object that can put asses in the amount of to the square garden? And that's all we care about. That's what they do. It's a cynical run at the fans. Like, here's a big name.

[00:51:02] You know, especially when you bring in some of these aging superstars, you know, a cane. Going back, Gretzky, you name it all. Yeah, Linda, exactly. And it was just about, here's the name you might have heard of. And you know what? It always hurt me about it.

[00:51:17] It shows that like, if in many ways New York is less of a hockey town than New Jersey is. Like the New Jersey Devil's fan, I think they have better knowledge of the game and players than the average New York Ranger fan.

[00:51:33] And that's something I saw everyone devils Twitter and then tell us them. I didn't know that. The modern era Devil's Twitter is just a bunch of like, a lot of internet.

[00:51:42] It's a bunch of negative, explaining why any people have kind of taken over and given us a characterization. But I think all in all, like, I always looked at the Ranger fans as like,

[00:51:51] you just, they know that you're going to respond to a couple big names that you saw on ESPN. So let's go get those guys. You know, and it's real cynical. You know, I can't stand the Rangers.

[00:52:01] Don't let them argue with them as they have that charm to the players where players want to go there. Like, we've seen it with the Devil fans. Yeah, but we've seen that as Devil fans, where guys choose to go to the Rangers. You know, over us.

[00:52:13] You know, no reason why guys choose to go to the Rangers. $77 million payroll, $69.2 million. Yeah, yeah, they're going to get paid. But I prefer players say like there's nothing like being there. They always say, I don't know what it is.

[00:52:29] Like, you know, even here on some other podcasts people are like, you know, there's something about being on that team. I don't get it. I hate them. But I'm your professional hockey player.

[00:52:38] You were a 17-year-old kid right about to get drafted and you didn't have a favorite team. Okay? Me, of course. My first reaction would be, I want to be drafted by original six.

[00:52:48] If I'm going to go play, I want to go play for Boston or the Rangers or Canadians. Maybe not the least. But you know what I mean? Yeah, Chicago or Detroit. You know what I mean? Like that's how I would be. So I get that.

[00:52:59] I get why people would want to play in New York. It's an original 16. They spend money. It's a huge city. And if you're coming from some small town in Saskatchewan and now you're living in New York and you have millions of dollars in your pocket.

[00:53:09] You've been on a lot of fun. Nobody dreams of going to Winnipeg. You know, that's all I have to ask. And I think that New Jersey is becoming a good destination because not only the simple fact of

[00:53:20] that we're a good team with a lot of upside for many years to come. But you look at the redevelopment that happened in Jersey City and whole-book. And those areas now, people want to live there.

[00:53:31] And if you're, you know, still want to party in New York but I can live in Jersey City and it's cheaper and I just got to take a 20 minute, very ride over an air, a 20 minute train ride on that.

[00:53:42] So I think that that's a big reason that people really want to play here. Tom Fitzgerald has a great job of selling this state. I swear he really does, man. We've never had guys that say they wanted to play here.

[00:53:54] I also think that he's, it's obvious he's aiming for success. He's aiming for deep playoff for us and cups. And like that's going to, that's always, you know, I'd look back to when the doubles were winning cups.

[00:54:06] Yeah, you could say that New Jersey has a lot of good reasons to come here. But a good reason to come too is you know there were serious about winning. And that brought in the guys who wanted to win.

[00:54:16] And I'd like that a lot because that transcended all skill levels. You need different skill level guys on your team, you know, that's what a good team is. They're going to have different range and what you want is to track the guys who want to win. Right.

[00:54:29] And he's nice to go to one of you here. And of all the guys you've seen in the last say like, last, I don't know, say last 10 years. Who didn't want to be here? Yeah, first one pops up my mind's tail or haul. Yeah, right.

[00:54:39] That was the strongest of airfield as someone. I kind of thought a little bit of Patrick Maroon to when he bolt it right after because I definitely want to keep him. Coval Chuck. Coval Chuck. All he wanted at the time was to be the highest paid player.

[00:54:52] Yeah, basically came out and said that. He didn't care where it was. And then he, you know, turned coats around. So yeah, coval Chuck. And it went. And such an uncarrot, juristic Lou Lemmer, Ella move. Like that was not something he ever was so exciting at the time.

[00:55:09] Because it was so extraordinary. And let's face it like it almost worked. They came with the two games of working. And that would have been a phenomenal Stanley Cup. But in the end he didn't belong here. No, I really grew to the spies him.

[00:55:25] Like when he left, I just don't, you know, I mean, he's a great hockey player. We saw it, you know, just man. That was just such a such a, such a, it moved my felt like. Sure was. And now guys, real quick.

[00:55:38] We know hockey is season is over. But you can still throw some betting down. I mean, there are futures out there who's going to win the Cup. Who's going to win the Metro. Howard DeVos going to end up in all you got to do is download the app.

[00:59:33] Oh, wir können das Ganze noch nicht mehr machen. Jetzt wollen wir ihn playen. Ist auch noch eine andere. Ja? Einen Applaus. Ich like die. Ich like die. Ich like die. Gehen Sie. Oh, yes. Ja, das ist die Zeit. All right, ich bin ein bisschen zu sehen.

[01:00:04] Ich will die Kluge an einem der Kluge zu einem Schrauben. Ich bin ein bisschen zu sehen. Und ich bin bei der Bautonie und dann geht es nicht mehr in den Krekken. Ich bin bei der Bautonie und dann geht es nicht mehr in den Krekken.

[01:00:17] Das ist ein bisschen zu sehen. Oh, ich bin bei der Bautonie und dann geht es nicht mehr in den Krekken. Die Leute sind gut. Ready, ready, ready. Ready, ready, ready.

[01:00:56] Boarn in Melville, Satskechoon. He's 602, 205 Pounds. He was a 9th Round Pick of the Koala-Kelowana, or Kalona Rockets in 2009, the WHO-Bantam Draft. He went 9th Round There, in the 2nd Year with the Rockets. He recorded Career-Highs of Sebengol's 38th Dirty Assist in 56 Games plade,

[01:01:28] und die Rocken haben sich selbst im Beruf. Ich bin so gut, dass es gut ist. Sie ist gut, dass es gut ist. Sie haben keine Fricken, aber die Leute haben die Leute für die Rocken. Ich bin gerade in der Welt. Das ist eine WHO-Juneur.

[01:01:41] Ich bin ganz ganz schadig. So, ich bin in der WHO-Juneur. In 2014, 2015, das war. Was war das? Ich will sagen, dass ich dir nicht mehr. So, the Devil's draft in him in the second round. And... He, the year he made the team, the 2014-15 season,

[01:02:08] he was one of four players on the Devil's that year that we're 23 years old. So, Ben Coleman? Will you say? Ben Coleman? No, it is not. Ben Coleman. Or younger to make the New Jersey Devil's draft. Ben Coleman? I was just guessing over here. Okay.

[01:02:25] And he green one said about this player, is that he's very mobile. Makes a lot of great plays. Skins can skate like the wind and is very confident. In his second NHL game against the Florida Panthers, he had his first point, which was an assist.

[01:02:42] Six minutes later, he scored his first goal. You already tell us, he's a forward? I didn't say he was a forward. He is not a forward. Oh. Is it ten? Who was he drafted by Chris? The New Jersey Devil's. What year? Is he guest Bobby?

[01:03:00] He's a guy in B. No, no. Oh, I like that guess. It's your second. What year was he drafted? Oh, 12th. Did I say that? 12th. Yeah. He started at first. He first came to 2014. Sixty-eighths overall in the second round.

[01:03:18] He ranked second in NHL among rookies in Ice Time, his rookie year at 22.45 games. He won a silver medal in Worlds in 2019 for Canada. Damien Sieversum? It is Damien Frecki Sieversum. Nice to meet you. Just that minus record. Yeah. I thought we did him already. Awesome.

[01:03:42] If not Dan, I think you would have gotten on with this one. Where is it? Do rumours of him keeping a burner phone on him in the locker room to respond to negative posts on life? I knew he was going to gotten that one. So, yeah, Damien Sieversum.

[01:04:00] Nice to meet you. All right. So, Tony's role in again. You got to record. What do you guys think? Any more moves right away? Or do you think this is the team for a bit? Another move, I think. Yeah? What kind of movement? Trader is signing.

[01:04:16] I'm going to say Terracynco. That's why I feel like, yeah, I feel like we've got to have... I think it's going to happen, man. Oh, be what do you think? Honestly, I'm still waiting for another unpopular trade.

[01:04:31] Although at this point, I don't know that we've got too much left if people would really complain about going, but maybe some kind of a free-up money move trade. I just feel like there's something else in the horizon that we're not seeing.

[01:04:43] And I don't think it's going to be a free-ation. Do you think that you, you know, your big fan of the big hockey trade, you know? Do you think that that could still be in the work?

[01:04:52] Like maybe a murderer and somebody else out the door for a big name player? I do, especially, you know, with the murder being accepted for the, you know, the restrictive contract. And maybe they can work out a sign-and-trade.

[01:05:06] For example, it doesn't mean it has to be a murder. But it may be a way to, again, not to pick on the guy because I think this could be actually a very good year for Polot.

[01:05:14] But it could be a way to kind of help get some of the money of plot off the books to bring in somebody else, because we just can't bring it up every one of our top six can't be making $9 million. So that's just my gut.

[01:05:26] I just feel like that's going to happen. I don't know if there's going to be a conferme or how it's going to work. But that is something that, yeah, that date. Yeah, I wouldn't, we know we need somebody else. Yeah, Dan, I'm sorry.

[01:05:38] No, I would not be surprised if we don't make this move now, but yet still do it like a keeps some cash and reserve for a future trade that might not even come until the, after the beginning of the season.

[01:05:53] I know that makes a lot of sense kind of like what Bobbi said but without pulling the trigger on the actual move in this summer necessarily. So that's possible. I think that's very possible. It's also possible that this is it. This is the team. I'm okay with that.

[01:06:10] That's what I love about doing this show guys. There was a never-time we do a show, so we do one every week, couple of weeks. It's so like, by the next day it should happen. You're like everything changes so far.

[01:06:19] It's like last episode we're talking about what we're going to put whole tier week. We're thinking these things and then the next day is outdated already because shit just hits the fan.

[01:06:27] Well, I kind of agree with Dan, I think this might be the team at least for the time being. I will not be shocked is what I'm saying. If Tom Fitzgerald says, okay, I did the moves I wanted to make and unless something falls

[01:06:42] into my lap right now, that is just too good to be true and maybe he'll poke around here in there. I think he might be happy with what he's got and just say we're going to like you said keep some cash on reserve. Trade deadline is in March.

[01:06:54] Well, we'll know a lot more about this team then and let's see what we can do. We got the gold tender. We got the blue line set. We know our top six can score with anybody and our bottom six looks a hell of a lot

[01:07:05] tougher and even better offensively. This is a fucking good team right now. This is a massive change really. I mean, you really did just, you know, go tender, go tending solidified. The defense is totally solidified.

[01:07:16] Our bottom six is solidified no matter how you want to split up and move that time. And like I mentioned earlier, you got four of your top players on two lines. You can print the wealth.

[01:07:25] I mean, this can work out just the way it is and then really be prime for a playoff push and then have that, you know, cap space to get somebody. Now there's a guy that nobody mentioned yet and I'll say this if a new big, if a

[01:07:39] big hockey trade was going to be made, I think it might possibly be for Marty Nathius. I mean, he doesn't want to be in Carolina or so he says but they definitely never moved him yet so it looks like they want him here.

[01:07:54] I don't know if that's something that's going to work out. But I don't want to give up too much for him though. I thought about that. What we were talking about at Christie other day and that just last guys were going

[01:08:01] back and forth about I don't really want to give up too much for him. Maybe Vegas will give us hopes back and we'll try to kind of line it. I just think we should always just have a hold on hand just to trade away.

[01:08:11] Whoever, you want to hold this here you go. So you would, I'd love to be shielding Keith right now. Oh, look at this line up with figure out how you had make your work. We're the devil's are bringing in the Hock 2 A girl to do the national anthem.

[01:08:26] Start the season. Have you guys seen that? You guys see that? Of course everybody is seen that. Have you seen the Hock 2 A? That's why I've often told you. Jesus Christ. What do we become society? This is like a software question. Dan has a 19-year-old adult daughter.

[01:08:47] I have an adult daughter. And you have an adult daughter. You can think of it if you like we're on X and you saw your kid being the Hock 2 A girl. Oh, and what your friend's daughter did, it's off of him. That's so cool.

[01:09:02] Oh, I noticed your daughter was the Hock 2 A lady. I mean that's so you don't get it. That's all you're daughter on the internet. Hock 2 A. You're for your daughter's a hick. Can I friend sleep over? Who is she? She's the Hock 2 A girl. I guess so.

[01:09:15] How long until, how long until she ends up on the spit and check what's podcast and the guys try to run and bang her. Oh, they do when chicks are on there. She was at, I saw this Hock 2 A girl was at a concert together day on stage.

[01:09:27] Like some sold out like gigantic show with his fan. Hock 2 A girl. Yeah, she's made like 63,000 off of merchandise. The first, like I don't know was the first day or two. We can't sell a day. Oh, both can be for the other Parker.

[01:09:39] So that's really good for her. All right. My daughter, we made 65 million dollars in merch for being $65,000. Even that, 65,000 of merch for being the Hock 2 A girl. Maybe I can live through it. Hock 2 A lady. Maybe we could just ask her for some marking advice.

[01:09:56] You know, maybe we don't have to push it so far. That's a letter. That's quite gross. She possibly, her advice is pretty good. I think the advice was good. Now, if that was my daughter, the advice would be, it'd be awful.

[01:10:09] Drinking at the bars, don't stop to talk to people on the fucking tree. That's simple. But yeah, no, her advice was good. Hock 2 A that's the way to do it. Well, you know, I look at sometimes with stuff like this comes and goes. It was different.

[01:10:25] Like everything now is recorded. All the stupid shit that we did was not except this. This is the fuck. This is the fuck. This is the fuck. Everyone can record it. This is the fuck. People listen to this.

[01:10:37] But you know, like I guess when you're living, growing up this way, I can't blame them for trying to capitalize on this stuff because otherwise it's going to run without your collecting. Yeah, anyway, because everything's just like, you know, if you've recorded in

[01:10:52] shirts, we have a new might as well try and exploit it for all you can. Absolutely. So I would like to say, I was not suggesting we need marketing advice from the Hock 2 A girl. I was saying if you were daughter, maybe 65,000 in merch for anything, we could

[01:11:06] talk to her for advice. But if you're the father and you see this, I mean, it's just going to, everyone works, got to be talking about it. It's like insane, you know? It's risky, that's hard work. That's what we're skating. But it's pretty bad.

[01:11:21] You know what, good for her because you made $65,000 in her fraut. You will not be doing the National Anthem at the first double-skims far as I know. But you're not, yeah, we don't even think our life would be pissed. She'd be like, I cannot do it too.

[01:11:33] She might start movement or everybody's doing it. Or if they actually got down the drain, so I think it's time, full plug. It sounds out here. Tom, thanks for staying up with us tonight. We're all going to see it. Pretty shit.

[01:11:51] And wherever you're listening to us, say like a download subscription to Five Star Review, a positive comment goes a long way to help the little podcast that could for Dan Tony and Bobby, I'm Chris. We are the Uncle Poppers and we will see you when we see it.

[01:12:06] Poppers? October! Toei! I love you if I can get the outro. That's what we're going to put that in the new outro. How do we? Yeah, yeah, that's not a bad idea. The trainmark? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I know who's doing it.

[01:12:28] Oh, sure she did. It's over, Jenny. It's over!
