Josh and Kevin. All while guys.
0:19
Yeah, it has been. Yeah.
0:20
How's everybody doing? Enjoying the offseason?
0:23
Yeah, Honestly, I don't know if the offseason is a bigger deal
0:26
for fantasy players or for actual NHL ERS.
0:29
Yeah, yeah. When when we go through it, we
0:36
go through it, you know, I know that.
0:37
There's the mental reset, yeah. Exactly, exactly.
0:41
I mean like at least from the mental point of view it isolated
0:44
I think. I think we we get hit just as.
0:45
Hard. Yeah.
0:46
Yeah, it's not hard. So yeah, as always, you could
0:51
find the link to our social media in the link tree in the
0:54
podcast description. I it's I'm a bit rusty.
0:57
It is. You probably already know that.
0:58
To be honest, five stars if you like what you hear, which you
1:01

1:10
So back to why I'm frightened. Today's a special episode.
1:15
Special bonus content for all you junkies who are jonesing for
1:19
some fantasy hockey in the offseason.
1:21
I know today is our special beer BET episode.
1:27
I thought that would be a bit more coordinated.
1:29
That was good. Josh, Josh just went right into
1:32
it. What is it like a million years
1:36
for? Yourself scared about like open
1:38
it too violently and it would spray on the mic or something I
1:41
don't know. Oh, it's celebratory.
1:44
Cheers. Yeah, yeah.
1:45
Cheers. Good luck out there boys.
1:49
OK. I don't know how much of that
1:53
you can hear, but hopefully not too much.
1:55
Yeah, let's try and not drink these right in our mics.
1:57
Yeah, not that anyone did. But no, no, yeah, yeah.
2:00
Mine myself every time we have a a drink.
2:02
But yeah, so this is our special beer bets episode.
2:04
If you've been following us throughout the season or even
2:06
halfway through the season, whenever we've been making these
2:09
quote UN quote beer bets on random disagreements we've had
2:12
about how certain players match up against each other, that's
2:15
usually what it is. I was going to give other
2:17
examples, but mostly it's player versus player comparisons and
2:19
times we disagree about that. So we would make a beer bet, and
2:23
we've just tallied up who won all those bets at the end of the
2:26
season. And for every bet lost, we have
2:29
to drink a beer. Yes.
2:30
So I don't know if I should say that.
2:32
Should I say the final tally of how many beers we all have to
2:34
drink? Yes.
2:35
OK. So we're opening with that,
2:37
right? There were 13 beer bets made,
2:39
yes, but it was like. One was like a 11.
2:42
So they're gonna be 14 beers drank over the course of this
2:46
episode. So tied for first place in least
2:53
amount of losses is me and Kevin we have.
2:56
To train. Type or not worth.
3:00
Yes, it's me and Kevin. We each have the drink 4 beers
3:03
and Jakey who likes making some crazy bets so we're gonna go
3:06
through it has to drink 6. And that is why Jackie is
3:09
scared. I, I read the first one and I
3:11
was like, you know what? I feel like at the time it was
3:13
like, not that I'm not bummed that I lost or didn't win, but
3:20
yeah, that one, that one feels like mad.
3:22
But I can't wait to go through more of them and see like.
3:25
How bad? Yeah, exactly.
3:28
Though like 446 is very even. Yeah, like a definitely could
3:31
have been more. That goes the other way and it's
3:33
like 5-5. 4 exactly, yeah. So it's almost as even as it
3:37
possibly could have been. So that just for our viewers out
3:39
there or listeners, I guess we have viewers yet.
3:42
We're working on that coming soon.
3:43
With all your viewers, with your ears.
3:45
Exactly. It just shows that you could
3:48
trust all of us equally slightly less.
3:52
All equal but the same. We're all equal, but some are
3:55
more equal than others. Same same.
3:57
But different exactly. Which I tell you many bad jokes.
4:03
Alright, so we're going to go through our bets 1 by 1.
4:06
We'll see what the bet was, we'll say what the result was,
4:08
who won, who lost and we'll go through our thought process at
4:11
the time and kind of what shook out.
4:13
Yeah, we dated these. So obviously if you like have
4:18
end of season in mind, you're going to think some of these are
4:20
crazy. But just think about like, I
4:22
mean, some of them might still be crazy to be honest.
4:25
We're not, we're not, not susceptible to making stupid
4:28
bets, but some of them made more sense at the time than they will
4:31
like at the end of the season. All right, she died tober
4:35
twelve, 2024. This is very early season.
4:38
Yeah, that's like a weekend. It's probably like our second
4:42
episode, yeah. The worst part about this is
4:44
like, it's like who bet who? So like it's written Jake bets
4:49
Josh. So I initiated this tickets Josh
4:53
that Samsonov starts more games than Aiden Hill, no exceptions.
4:58
Made. Like injuries or Yeah, correct,
5:00
like none of. That so confident?
5:01
I think so I think this was like a month into this season ish.
5:04
Yeah. So like 3 or 4 weeks in you were
5:06
so confident. Literally picked up and held on
5:08
to him for like 3 weeks. Yeah, this is happening.
5:12
I was pretty confident. And I was very confident that
5:15
you would be wrong. Yeah.
5:17
And what was the result? That was a hill.
5:19
I should not have died on a stick with one.
5:22
Beer Hill started 50, Sampson all started 29, and I lost.
5:27
Cheers. Cheers everybody.
5:29
Cheers for that, for all the viewers with your ears out
5:34
there. Jackie just chugged his first
5:36
beard. No, no I didn't.
5:37
Oh, thank God. I didn't, but yeah, I, I think
5:41
just at the time I, I had known Hill to not be such a great
5:47
season goalie. Yeah.
5:48
And Samsonov, even though the year before he was dust, the
5:51
year before that and the leaves, he was good.
5:54
So I was like, OK, you know what, this could be really
5:56
competitive. And Vegas, you know,
5:58
surprisingly lost in like last year, right?
6:03
I mean, they like like in the playoffs and stuff.
6:05
So I was like, you know, I don't think he's a lock.
6:07
I thought he had a fair chance. And some don't know about a few
6:09
good games at that point I believe, so that's why I chose
6:12
to do so at the time. I feel like I really wanna was
6:15
one of those tandems that like in a realist, like in a tangible
6:19
world, you can see Samsung on being a starter.
6:20
Somewhere it definitely wasn't one of those locked up like.
6:23
They were playing it as a tandem.
6:24
'S job to lose though yes so we were all like OK like is he
6:28
gonna. Lose the job in uphill battle.
6:29
Yeah. No, I mean, I get your I totally
6:35
agree with your Eden Hill doubts.
6:37
That part of it I fully agree with.
6:38
What I didn't agree with, and correctly, was the Samsonov
6:42
trust. Yeah, so I thought I agree that
6:44
Aiden Hell is not a solid starter.
6:45
Like, like someone could definitely come challenge that
6:48
job. I just don't think Samsonov is
6:49
the guy to do that. Samsonov, we saw it like I
6:52
picked them up for a couple weeks, I think in the last like
6:55
third of the season or something where I think he'll was.
6:57
Hurt. And he, like Samson, has some,
6:59
like, really good starts. So it's kind of one of those
7:01
situations. Exactly.
7:02
Yeah. I think the biggest thing with
7:04
Jay looking at a lot of these bets is he has like major
7:07
confirmation bias like. What does that mean?
7:10
Like you pick up, you like you have an idea in your head and
7:14
then you see like sprinkles of it and you're like, this is
7:19
gonna happen. Like you like this is it.
7:22
I guess that's more like a recency bias like.
7:24
It's just like, but it's like he's so determined that it's
7:27
gonna be like, yeah, he sees it happening and then he's gonna be
7:29
like, alright, I can't see this any other way, you know what I
7:31
mean? Did you?
7:32
What does? That ever watch the little
7:33
engine that could? Definitely easy to get caught up
7:37
in your guys. Here we all.
7:39
Season, You know, I was convinced Ross Colton was gonna
7:41
be like the Morchard winner. Yeah, yeah, if he didn't get
7:43
injured. We'll never know.
7:46
Yeah, we'll never know. Yeah.
7:47
But yeah, that's that's bet number one.
7:50
Yeah, a big elf for Jake and a big W for Josh.
7:53
Let's move on to two where I I was not involved.
7:56
October 23rd, 2024 Josh Betts Kevin meeting.
8:00
Josh initiated the bet that stole our starts more than
8:03
Dustin Wolf. No exceptions.
8:06
Wolf had 53 stars Stole. Ours had 33.
8:10
Josh loses. My first W 1 wall.
8:13
Yeah, I mean the no exceptions part definitely bit me here
8:17
because Stolarz was injured for like a third of the season.
8:20
That definitely hurts. Also at the time Wolf and Vladar
8:25
were like fully splitting. Stewards.
8:27
And wolf like, I mean, I, I'm not, I wasn't at the time a wolf
8:32
believer. I wasn't a Calgary believer
8:33
more. I knew.
8:34
You never know. And I still, I still stand by it
8:37
didn't make the playoffs like I said they wouldn't, but they
8:39
still did better than I expected them to.
8:40
And Wolf did way better than I expected him to the whole
8:43
season. I mean, they barely missed the
8:44
playoffs. Like they really made a push at
8:45
the end. And it was all because of Wolf.
8:47
You know, I it's very rare that a rookie goalie comes in and has
8:51
a season like Wolf did. So I didn't know I did.
8:54
I thought it was a pretty safe bet to say that at the very
8:56
least they would ease him into the job.
8:58
But he played so incredibly well that he forced their hands.
9:00
So I think that was also, I think it's always doesn't get
9:03
injured. I think this is much closer.
9:05
Is definitely much closer, I just don't think that.
9:08
The thing is, Dollars was in a tandem the whole time, whereas
9:11
Wolf was not in a tandem for like half the season.
9:13
Yeah, but at the time of this, Stolarz was playing for
9:16
Insanely. Well, you were you were betting
9:18
on stores being so good that even when Wall comes back, he
9:20
gets the majority of the star. Exactly.
9:22
Yeah. Another thing to note, his wall
9:23
was injured at that time. So installers are playing so
9:26
incredible that pretty much the the flip side happened, right?
9:29
It was Wolf was in the tandem and Stolarz was alone and then
9:32
it ended up kind of reversed because of Wolves amazing play
9:34
and stars. Getting I couldn't see having
9:37
ended up like stars without being heard, like 5348 type of
9:40
thing, you know, I mean, yeah, like, I think that's that would
9:42
be fair. But yeah, hot take next year I
9:49
take Dustin Wolf over you, Cyros.
9:53
That is a decently hot take. That's, that's surprising.
9:56
I mean, I, I get it like obviously the way that it turned
9:59
out this year, but I just. Still feel similar situation
10:03
where it's like the team in front of them isn't as good as
10:05
the goalie behind them, but the goalie is still good and can win
10:10
games on his own. Yeah, like this is like a
10:12
bonafide starter on their respective.
10:14
Team. Projection Wolf is going to have
10:16
a higher GDP than Saros. No, there's no way.
10:19
Like like like picked earlier. Now I think Cyrus has a name.
10:24
He'll be. High after how?
10:25
After Predators finished like third last in the league and
10:28
Wolf just had a call their nominee like season.
10:30
On a year to year basis it takes a lot for ADP to like really
10:33
fluctuate. Like I agree with you, he should
10:34
I agree ADP should be there. Just don't take AP will be
10:36
there. OK, because I honestly like I.
10:39
Just drop it first or not is a different question, but where
10:41
ADP is I don't know. Because when you said that,
10:44
like, I don't find it to be that hard of a take.
10:45
I think like, I think people like I'm, I like a guy like
10:49
Saros after a year, like this year, because like he's going to
10:51
drop, you know, and so if he goes super late, I would still
10:54
grab him. But like, how could you possibly
10:56
have confidence in the guy after this season, you know?
10:58
Next year. We'll for sure.
11:00
Who would rather or ADP? Higher who drafting first well.
11:03
You're not touching them. Go like Wolf 4 drops.
11:06
Gustafson. GusGus Yeah.
11:08
Really. Yeah.
11:08
Especially with Flurry retiring, yeah.
11:10
Yeah. I love Minnesota.
11:12
Yeah, they're very good team. Comes back healthy hopefully for
11:15
the season. Eric, snack healthy.
11:18
Of or is it? Another another big thing with
11:21
Minnesota. I'm pretty sure this is the year
11:22
they lose all that did. They lose that job, which is
11:24
huge. They're.
11:25
Imagine Mariner going to Minnesota.
11:26
That'd be fun. That would be in there, but.
11:28
Have a bunch of cap space. It's obviously very early to
11:31
tell it though. Yeah, with us.
11:32
But like, in theory, as it stands, I think Wolf is gonna be
11:35
like a middle tier. Like a top 10 goalie.
11:39
But like, yeah, he could exceed his ADP.
11:41
Could he saying in a similar situation like Sorokin this year
11:44
where like he's a very good goalie on another great.
11:46
Teams broken was like drafted like 7th goalie off the board
11:49
yeah. 8th but Sorokin has the name value.
11:52
Yeah but I'm saying I see Wolf being like a similar situation.
11:54
Great goalie, mid team. For him to be that.
11:58
Yeah, exactly that high up the reputation that one really good
12:02
year but like. I would be surprised if Wolf has
12:04
a down year like. Yeah, super young, yeah, it's
12:07
gonna have a great career, but who knows You're.
12:09
Trimmer, Wolf. I'd rather wolf.
12:13
I'd probably take Markstrom. I think the wins New Jersey
12:15
supposed to be like a good team. We're like.
12:17
It's easy to be biased by how bad they finish the season, but
12:19
remember that he was injured for the entire end of the season.
12:21
Yeah, OK, fine. They.
12:22
Had Hamilton. Injured for most the end of time
12:24
to think about it. But I do think marks from ADP is
12:26
higher for sure. Yeah, that's what I think.
12:28
So what will be like a like a top 15 to 20 goalie probably.
12:34
Yeah, Lewis and I think he could easily.
12:38
Exceed one of those better value guys.
12:39
Yeah, he could definitely exceed it.
12:41
OK #3 yes, October 28th, Kevin, that's Jake, that Josh will jump
12:49
after 5 episodes, 2 1/2 weeks. Jake said that it will be within
12:53
2 1/2 weeks. Wow, OK, that's a lot.
12:59
So stick with one beard. Josh did not drop Velardi, as
13:02
you probably know, because we never stopped.
13:04
Talking about him, that's a lot of nickels.
13:07
That's a lot of nickels. And then Velard.
13:11
Actually the others are just straight up like.
13:16
Better or whatever, Just like, what is Josh possibly gonna do?
13:19
Because, well, I was having such a rough start of the season.
13:21
You just have to be there. Josh was complaining about
13:23
Maloney every episode, about how he's getting straight zeroes.
13:26
He was not being on the scoresheet, not being on line 1.
13:31
Thank God I didn't drop him though, he went absolutely
13:33
insane rest of season. No I did trade him.
13:35
It was a great. Trade every year believes about
13:38
the trade them. Yeah.
13:41
Who's informed last? Who do you trade him for last?
13:43
Year I picked him up after he. Got over treated him right.
13:45
No, but this year I traded what I do.
13:48
I did Vilardi and Brat for Boldy and Holloway.
13:52
That would be good. Really good, yeah.
13:54
Fair on both sides. Went to Holly was insane.
13:56
Yeah. Yeah.
13:58
So I did not drop Ballard in the end, even though at the time it
14:01
made like I was complaining. Nonsense.
14:03
All his words that he would, yeah.
14:05
I'm pretty sure when you guys made that bet, I was like, if he
14:07
has one more bad week, he's gone.
14:09
Yeah, but that was the week that he started turning it on, so I
14:11
was. Like actually like knowing you.
14:13
I don't know why I did this, I'm a little confused right now.
14:18
Don't you forget how much I was complaining.
14:20
About I guess, I guess like when you're really in the thick of
14:22
it, like goes back to the off season being more important for
14:26
fantasy players. It was really it was something.
14:30
But anyway, I I mean I feel like.
14:34
Looking back, where you dropping people already?
14:36
I feel like it wouldn't be bad. On my team again, but like, I
14:38
got him. I got him in such a good spot
14:39
this year. I got him like around 16, you
14:41
know, which is like insane. Would you take him?
14:43
I'll take my. Thing.
14:45
I would take him probably around 12 or 13.
14:49
I mean like this year you. Got free pics that you?
14:52
Like around 11 or 12 and I view I think.
14:55
I think it's over. Booth yeah, like it's the same
14:57
vibe of player. Like I was gonna get points and
14:59
put up zeros otherwise, so. But I think Hillary is better
15:01
than. Which was actually really good.
15:02
This season, though? I don't know.
15:05
Yeah, exactly. They were like the best team
15:07
after before nation, so so yeah, no, I mean I would happily take
15:09
him again. I got him exactly where I wanted
15:11
him last year, anywhere, and I worked out all really well.
15:13
So he's a little higher this year, yeah.
15:15
I would like a late round, I think like 12 in the points
15:18
league and I'm probably gonna keep him.
15:19
Like I feel like he could be really.
15:21
Good. I have a really good.
15:22
Question points I love. Him Who are you taking first
15:25
next year, Velardi or Zuccarello?
15:28
Velardi Really. I'm going back to my roots this.
15:32
Is going to. Resolve This is the first year
15:34
that I didn't win, and it's because I broke some of my.
15:37
Cardinal rules. No, some of my cardinal rules 1
15:40
is don't go for guys over a certain age and I got screwed
15:43
with the with Zuccarello and with the OC.
15:45
So I'm. Not Erickson Echols, is he?
15:49
That was not an age thing. That was just bad luck with
15:51
injuries. But like, yeah, I got screwed by
15:54
going for older guys. I got screwed going for Habs
15:56
guys. I always say don't.
15:58
I don't take cabs and then end up reaching us.
15:59
Laugh. Yeah.
16:00
And he was. Awful.
16:03
So so yeah, so I'm. Gonna use you also break.
16:06
He was really good, you know. But there's a full season before
16:08
the All Star. Break definitely take Velardi
16:10
think. Really.
16:11
Yeah. He had a great season.
16:12
He's way younger. I mean like he's entering
16:14
theoretically the prime of his career.
16:15
Didn't be 26. Sequel is almost 40.
16:18
What? Is north of 35.
16:21
There's no way north of 35. I feel like he's like 32 or 33.
16:29
37. 37 years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:32
So they got that point, I feel. Like I could resolve some help.
16:34
Yeah. That's why they're getting
16:36
Marner. Yeah, it's gonna take
16:37
zuccarello. Spot.
16:38
That's a great landing spot. Quiet market too.
16:42
I feel like Minnesota is not like too.
16:44
They're crazy about hockey. I know, but like they don't get
16:46
outside noise. Hubs, or if you're outside of
16:50
Minnesota, you don't hear about Minnesota too much.
16:52
Yeah, that's fair. Yeah.
16:55
Let's move on to the next one, November 4th.
16:58
Kevin bets Jake that Bobrovsky will have more wins rest of
17:01
season than Sarah Jakes. Saros gets more wins from
17:04
November. Fourth season, win a single
17:06
game. I didn't count the total wins
17:11
after November 4th, I'm just assuming that Bob had more.
17:14
Because they don't know that you don't know that.
17:19
Go back and tell them. Yeah, one of them is drafting
17:22
like a fifth overall and the other ones in the finals.
17:26
Yeah, all listen, like, like I still had a lot of conviction
17:29
about Nashville here, like I don't.
17:31
Feel bad about this point where everybody was like are they
17:33
turning it around or not and you have to make your bet.
17:35
Yeah, that's it. And I did.
17:36
Yeah, you're already invested in like you had.
17:41
Yeah, yeah. No, honestly.
17:43
It was the biggest disappointment is your.
17:45
Time I still believe they would turn it around and honestly at
17:48
the end of this like postseason, like looking back on it, they're
17:51
season makes no sense to me. No, like I mean it it is it is
17:54
kind of the argument made with Ranson when you went to the
17:56
canes of like you bring in a bunch of these big names who
17:58
have never played with each other and like the whole team
18:00
dynamic shift. Not necessarily a bad way, in a
18:02
way, they're just no chemistry, you know?
18:04
You're huge on free agents, so that's the thing.
18:06
Yeah. So like a lot of times, clearly
18:08
we see that doesn't work out. You know it's not just.
18:10
And plus, they're all learning a new system.
18:12
On top of it exactly, you don't see them having a big bounce
18:14
back here because they'll have a full year under their belts to.
18:17
But I'm also like, I don't know what with how bad they did, I
18:20
feel like there was a lot of like bad vibes around the team.
18:23
Yeah, like mentality wise, you know, I feel like there were
18:25
comments being made from different players being like,
18:27
oh, like some of the guys aren't showing up, you know, people
18:29
throwing each other under the bus.
18:30
So we'll see how they bounce back from that next year.
18:32
But that's like that's never a good sign, you know?
18:34
And like, players are making like, kind of offhand comments,
18:36
like about saying, oh, like, there's no control in the room.
18:39
Like some players aren't showing up, people.
18:40
Are there anything you're exact news and being like this wasn't
18:44
heard from a reporter whatever. Exactly, so it's like a lot of
18:47
bad vibes around the team, which is fair cause they did so
18:49
poorly. Yeah, but we'll see how you
18:51
bounce back from that. Is it like you just put in the
18:52
past or? I don't think they make the
18:53
playoffs next. Year, yeah, but are they A-Team
18:56
worth having fantasy assets on? You know, like this year.
18:59
Other than seeing what Calgary was this year.
19:03
Like just making it just. Always French playoffs, Bob
19:05
never kind of making. I think that's resealing.
19:08
Guess we'll see what they do with.
19:09
The talent to be way better than.
19:11
That first share, but it's also interesting, like could have
19:15
getting rid of a lot of their young guys.
19:16
For some reason, he seems to be wanting to go all in now, but
19:19
like it's not working. So I'm curious to see what he
19:21
does. But he has a bunch of old
19:23
players on long contracts, so I don't think the future is very
19:26
bright for Nashville. I just feel people want out.
19:29
Like I feel like we're already seeing Marshalls, like, oh, like
19:31
get that I have or whatever. You feel like you would screw up
19:35
the chemistry we have at the house.
19:37
Like, how many times do we need to get a star?
19:40
Quebec, the tail end of his career.
19:43
Yeah, if you really wanted to play for the Habs, come here.
19:45
Like five years. You wanna bag to go to
19:47
Nashville? You're complaining about it.
19:49
Exactly. No, it's.
19:50
So who do they get? They got Stamkos, right?
19:52
That was a huge. One so shame.
19:53
Marsha so yeah, Shay the The thing is that I was super Donald
19:58
random because he was going through the team mid-season.
20:02
Now my like theory with this is when you have players going mid
20:05
season it's a very usual outcome.
20:08
They're going to be worse than they were on their previous
20:09
team. It's.
20:11
Happening. It's like the same vibe, like
20:13
even though they had a offseason to like figure it out, the fact
20:16
that it was so many pieces as opposed to just one, it kind of
20:19
like the same idea, right? So, so the only hope I have for
20:21
them this year is that they finally figured it out.
20:24
But I don't think they have like, I don't think they're
20:26
gonna figure it out like this team, like, like looking at it.
20:29
Now honestly blow it up, but that's if I.
20:33
Look at the. Contracts.
20:34
Everybody has such a long contract and everybody's.
20:35
Old and they all had their worst like year ever.
20:37
So like, no one's buying that stuff unless.
20:39
You're salary, all these top guys for like picks and like top
20:43
tier prospects. Like imagine if you sold
20:46
Stamkos. Two choices.
20:49
They're really, really try and like tear it all down and then,
20:51
you know, hope you could contend again in like 7 years or you
20:55
kind of suffer through, you know, make a couple of first
20:57
round appearances. I mean what?
20:58
Happened then you don't even know they're not good enough to
21:01
make a run at the Cup. I don't think they don't like, I
21:05
just don't see them doing that. It's going to happen.
21:07
It's all these guys are going to age out of their contracts and
21:10
then that's it. But it's still possible they
21:13
turn it around though they still have the skill.
21:15
Like they all had an off year. Division.
21:19
There's there's this can still turn it around?
21:21
I don't. Know if they will.
21:22
Winnipegs A juggernaut? Yeah.
21:24
Dallas is a juggernaut. Colorado is a juggernaut.
21:26
Minnesota juggernaut. That's four teams right there.
21:28
That's fair. I don't see them.
21:29
Being on any of the up and coming.
21:32
Yeah, honestly, Nationals just in a.
21:34
Terrible voice, Utah. Like these are all teams.
21:35
Like Utah is gonna be nice next year, I think.
21:38
Yeah, they have a lot of things that's finally like blooming.
21:40
No longer the Utah. Yeah, Now that you Tom Ahmed.
21:45
Yeah. I don't know the Utah, I'm
21:48
honestly not that high on them. But where would you take
21:50
Forsberg next year? Cause obviously he's the best
21:51
asset in Nashville, right? We all agree.
21:53
With the Rome third Rome. Would like you still you still
21:55
have a second round. Guy like late too.
21:58
No, I think third, I got murdered the 211 last.
22:00
Year. Like Marner went to 211.
22:03
Yeah, right before the. Report went second round this
22:09
past year, Yeah. And we're talking our league,
22:11
obviously. Yeah, this is.
22:13
I don't see how he can possibly stay there after the year he
22:15
had. You know, I don't think he's
22:17
gonna drop a crazy amount, but I think third, fourth round.
22:19
Was their best fantasy. Asset yeah for you 2 years in a
22:23
row like more than two years like yeah no, he's a he's gonna
22:26
he's gonna have a bounce back here I think but I think he goes
22:28
he definitely drops where. He was such a bad stretch though
22:31
and he got 76 points and 82. Games he had such a bachelor, he
22:34
also had an insane like I. Just I just feel like 682 is
22:40
pretty decent, yeah, Especially with the.
22:41
Backdrop. Really unreal.
22:43
Like you're not even mad if you pick him in the second like I
22:45
was. Yeah.
22:46
But when it's all said and done, the final result, it was fine.
22:50
It was. It wasn't.
22:51
Great week basis. You're not getting like you're
22:55
getting overkill one week and then you're losing your next
22:57
week just. Because even if you're not upset
23:00
taking in the second, you have to think about who else is
23:01
available in the second, guys who are going to be more
23:04
consistent and you don't have to worry about as much then you
23:07
know. But no, he's still going to be
23:08
taking a very highly. Would you?
23:10
Suzuki, Suzuki or Forsberg? Probably take Forsberg versus
23:15
yeah. What do you guys think?
23:16
Yoshi goes next year because he had an awful.
23:18
Who are you taking? Forsberg, OR.
23:21
He's just, he's just old. Though he's.
23:23
Up in there and. I think Forsberg partner and I
23:28
just I think the points are more reliable like that's where I
23:30
think. There's a whole, there's a lot
23:31
of, I think garbage going on in New York, though.
23:34
There was that whole like, like a thing you got introduced
23:36
about, like, you know. Like that, OK.
23:38
Like this is like provided we have clarity on that and like
23:40
he's starting the year and there's no budget, Yeah, like
23:43
that's 20 points difference. So I think that Panera could get
23:45
over Forsberg. But the shots, I guess Panera
23:47
shoots. Yeah, yeah, Like that.
23:51
Listen like it's not crazy, but new.
23:53
York bounces back, so I can see what you're saying.
23:55
For me, it's a lot just like the mental thing, but like there's
23:57
also new coach coming in, which I think is really so great for
23:59
them. So I could see that.
24:00
I'll take bark off over, yes. What about you and Barbara
24:04
Point? I take Forsberg over point.
24:07
Sam, Richard. I think I take Reinhart.
24:10
Ohhhhh that's interesting. I know I've been I just like I
24:13
take 4 last year, this year I had Reinhart on my do not drugs.
24:16
I thought like last year, the year before was a fluke, but now
24:19
he did it like 2 years in a row. So like, yeah, he just, he just
24:21
is that. Good.
24:22
Isaac Reinhart over him. I would take Tage over Forsberg,
24:25
but I would probably was the other guy who said Panera.
24:29
No point. Yeah, I take over point.
24:32
Yeah, cool. Do we move on to the next one?
24:36
Jack Eichel. Eichel for sure, Michael.
24:38
Yeah, yeah. End of the fourth round.
24:41
Yeah, that's crazy. And you guys all roasted me for
24:43
that pic. I.
24:44
Don't think I roasted. You guys roasted me.
24:47
I did not roast. That was in the unreleased like
24:49
3 hour long draft episode we did and it's in there somewhere if
24:52
anyone cares to find them. Nicole went 2 picks ahead of
24:55
Timo Meyer who I drafted. Let's go.
24:58
OK, finally I did something great.
25:00
Let's go to the next November 20th.
25:02
Jake Betz Josh that Will Cooley ends with over .6 points per
25:06
game and Jake takes over what? You took the over, I took the.
25:11
Took the over, Josh takes under coolly.
25:13
Ended with .55. That's not bad.
25:18
It's not it's not like one of those like brutal ones you were.
25:21
So this is like the wheel. Cooley is God era of Jackie
25:25
season. Like we gotta finish our first
25:27
beer on this but. OK.
25:32
Will Cooley was the man. I mean he still is the.
25:34
Man, he was one of the best pickup of the season.
25:36
Yeah, he was great. It's funny because.
25:38
Physically. League Kevin mentioned like.
25:42
Keep an eye out for his Will Cooley guy.
25:43
I think 2 days. Later, Jake, he's like, OK.
25:46
He was the next day, yeah. As a loyal banker management
25:49
listener, if one of the clothes say something, you know.
25:52
If you were listening to your management, you were ahead of
25:55
the curve on Will Cooley and you probably.
25:57
Were streets ahead? Yeah, yeah.
25:59
And if you wouldn't listen, your streets.
26:00
Behind a lot of dividends up until this very moment.
26:04
Boston, it was great up until right now, yeah.
26:10
So, so I, I feel like this was like a very reasonable one.
26:15
It was close and .55 is really not that far off.
26:20
Like at that point it's, you know?
26:22
Yeah, no, it was super, super. Close.
26:25
Kevin. Took #2.
26:29
Yeah, no, this is obviously a super close bed, like .05
26:31
points. Yeah, you were just.
26:33
So that's that's like on an 82 game pace, if you like, you
26:37
know, if he plays everything, that's four points difference.
26:39
Yeah, that's super close, you know.
26:41
Crazy, crazy. Cool, cool game.
26:42
Yeah. Exactly.
26:45
In 2026. You'll see.
26:47
It's great. Yeah.
26:48
I like that point in the season. Like, yeah.
26:51
He's super young. 24 So he was like, you know, he's getting
26:56
tempting. Trade an entire Dropbox for him
26:59
yeah, but he seemed like at the time it was felt like a clear
27:02
like, oh, this is like a waiver wire pickup who's having a hot
27:04
streak and you're gonna end up dropping in like a week or two.
27:06
You know like I didn't realize that he would end up being this
27:09
solid over the course of the whole season.
27:10
I still thought over .6 was a reach.
27:13
That's why I made the bet. But.
27:14
And even with the crazy season he had, he he didn't pass that.
27:17
But but no, it was a it was a solid, a solid, but it's so like
27:20
funny seeing like us all betting on our guys.
27:23
Like I know as we go later on a couple that I bet on that like
27:26
we're my guys that I picked up and you're like, you just get so
27:28
on the hype train and it's by and also, you know, like you're
27:31
telling everyone about him. You wanna make everyone feel bad
27:33
that they grab you. Did you know, like look at this
27:37
guy you drafted second overall and I'm my guy.
27:39
I just picked up has more points than him this year.
27:41
Yeah, that's exactly it. Yeah, so, so no, I think, I
27:45
think Willie definitely getting drafted next year, probably by
27:47
Jakey. Yeah.
27:49
And. I'm like is.
27:52
The 16th Wait, I have a crazy question.
27:54
I guess I. Have.
27:55
Yeah, I mean, that's all the same.
27:56
Like once. At that point it's all
27:58
dartboard. Depends on what my team looks.
27:59
Like, yeah, who are you taking next year, Philip Forsberg or
28:02
Krill Marchenko? It's actually tough.
28:05
I love killed the. Thrill so so in order to have
28:08
that conversation, it feels like we're now thinking of four is
28:10
working in the fourth round right Like for sure there's no
28:13
way like it's not going in the second like we just talked about
28:16
before sorry yeah like. His ceiling is third.
28:21
Honestly, I could see them going same round.
28:22
I could see them both going in the third or both going like
28:26
third early 4th. So tough because like, you know,
28:29
like I usually try to avoid guys who just had a career year
28:32
because I feel like, you know, they usually they usually wants
28:35
like go back to earth a bit, but like, I don't know, this guy was
28:38
a mini Pasternak for. Like he was better for most of
28:41
the season. The The thing is like he's 24
28:44
and he and he's this is his second year that he just played,
28:48
you know what I mean? So it's kind of like, I know
28:50
what you mean. Like you want to regress if
28:51
they're like 30 and like Tom Wilson, great pick by you this
28:55
year, Kevin can easily regress. Yeah, that's like a sample size
28:58
of like 8 or 9 years, two years in the NHL.
29:01
So to me, I feel. Like.
29:04
Maybe I would take a, I would take Marchenko.
29:06
Marchenko is definitely the higher upside pick, Yeah, I
29:08
think. But like Forsberg are gonna get
29:10
the shots and hits no matter what.
29:11
Marchenko has six shots but doesn't hit.
29:13
I just feel it. This whole Columbus team was so
29:16
like guns blazing this year that I feel like they just, it can't
29:19
be like that next year. Again so they also finished off
29:22
the season super hot. Like remember they were like on
29:24
the habs tail like 7 straight or.
29:26
Something lost like whatever it was like 10 in a row or
29:29
something to. So many districts.
29:32
Then they went on a really bad streak and they went on another
29:34
crazy hot streak. End the season.
29:35
Like it's over the house on making the playoffs.
29:37
But like, I mean, that's just a young team, right?
29:40
Like, yeah, that's. Just what happens going into
29:42
like a year after that, teams have time to like watch the tape
29:45
and like know how to shut down these guys or whatever.
29:47
It's different Hartford team to score like so many goals every
29:51
game and have such a high like average and then.
29:53
Like come back again with Marchenko.
29:55
I can ask a similar question on like where do you think Merensky
29:58
goes next year? I think we.
30:00
Need to goats are very much tied together next year.
30:03
Like he has another year successful even when the team
30:05
was not good. I think it's.
30:06
The third defence went off the. Board was never this good, but
30:09
he was still like. 3rd 3rd. Maybe 4th?
30:13
What are your three before? So this and.
30:18
Dalian. I'm sorry, I don't.
30:22
No, I don't even think so. I think it would probably take
30:24
Werenski over that like even though.
30:25
Like this year. Yeah, yeah.
30:27
Like it's like, do you think? They do it again.
30:29
I agree with what you're saying by the way, Kevin, but this
30:31
first of all, they didn't have boon for like most of the year.
30:33
He's important to their. Success.
30:34
Year older now. Yeah, He's not.
30:36
He's their success. No, he's just like a good
30:39
defensive player to have. A decent amount.
30:42
True. I like this, this tall power
30:44
play right. You got you got Boone.
30:47
But I easily see that Fantilli is going to be on partly 1
30:51
Monahan, Ken Johnson, Marchenko, Oransky, like just there like
30:55
Marchenko, Kenton, Johnson and Werenski and Fantilli.
30:58
That's four like studs. And they're young.
31:00
Yeah, You know what I mean. They have great names on power
31:04
plays and that don't. They just like.
31:07
Look at Colorado this year. Yeah.
31:08
I mean, the real question is, do you think they repeat what they
31:10
did this past year? You know, was I?
31:11
Think due for some regression. I just I just like negative.
31:14
Regression, yeah, like I, I, I think it can be similar.
31:17
I'm not saying. They'll be better.
31:18
It was so insane that you look at every game is like there's
31:22
only 6-7 goals. You're like what the?
31:23
Hell, I'm just saying cause they're how many?
31:25
How many games that were once you have like 5 points and you
31:27
know what I mean? Like it's not.
31:29
It's just, yeah, I mean, they're not an old team.
31:31
Like, that's why I think, like, you know, the Johnsons of the
31:33
world could be like, serious. Players this year for March
31:37
drink What are you? I think I go forsberg.
31:40
Yeah, has a pick, Yeah. What about in a points league
31:42
though? I'm points like I go marching.
31:46
Those points, yeah. I think more triangle gets more
31:48
points, like if you give me Forsberg gets 70, I think
31:51
Marchenko gets like 80, but I think I'll take like the extra
31:56
whatever amount of hits it. Is 250 or.
31:58
Something. Shots are pretty similar.
32:01
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it.
32:04
They both are great. Like shooters.
32:06
Yeah. I honestly don't know about that
32:07
one. I really.
32:09
And like, like you said, Josh, like I feel like I have the same
32:11
sentiments like Reinhart, you know, you just don't know if
32:13
this is like the one year wonder type of thing.
32:15
I'm not willing to take the. I guess there is.
32:17
Gambling like other guys in the third round.
32:19
I'd rather pick ahead instead of Forsberg and Marchenko, yeah.
32:23
Yeah, but I guess another way to see it is also like Predators
32:26
just had there were season like ever, Sportsbyte said.
32:30
I had a really solid year overall.
32:32
Obviously had bad stretches, but overall he like pulled it
32:34
together. So that's his like floor, Yeah.
32:36
You know, whereas Marchenko's is probably his ceiling.
32:39
Yeah. So yeah, I, I don't know, that's
32:41
a tough one. We'll have to see how I feel
32:43
next year. I wanna move to my next one
32:46
which is awesome. November 20th.
32:49
Is this your first? Cooley ends the season with more
32:52
points than Sherwood on total this season.
32:55
So this was there was a lot of best from this day on the 20th.
32:59
Kind of like gave you grief, Kevin.
33:00
I was like, you never do any beer best.
33:03
You're like, yeah, let me show you.
33:05
So there's been 10. There's been less than A10 game
33:09
difference between their games played at the end of the season.
33:12
So this basically means. So yeah, I just said that.
33:16
Want to injury insurance? Yeah.
33:18
Exactly. Yeah.
33:19
So I just basically wanted to say, yeah, the the broad idea
33:22
here. Cooley gets more points than
33:24
Sherwood. Yeah.
33:25
Cooley 45, Sherwood 40. Cheers.
33:31
I need to see how many games they played now that I didn't
33:33
even check to be. Honest.
33:34
And neither of them got injured, I don't think I think surely
33:37
should have been out for like a week or two Ohm it's.
33:40
Stop. We're not making this null.
33:42
Let's see, let's see. Sherwood Blade 78 games.
33:46
That's that's enough. Yeah, Hey, they could we play
33:52
all the games? OK.
33:52
But I'm definitely taking sure what over cooling next year.
33:55
Yeah, I think so too. 10 hits the game.
33:57
That was just easy and the bangers that went to the
34:00
category. Literally.
34:00
And the fact he was also, I mean I played him in the semifinals
34:03
and he put up in like 3 games. No, he had four games.
34:07
He. He put up I think, I think like
34:09
2 hat tricks and like 40 hits. I do agree by the way, like I
34:14
would take him over him, but that.
34:17
You can't share how. Many hits 3 Cooley, HUD.
34:22
Cooley was Cooley was like, I'm doing a nice.
34:24
Would you like? No.
34:24
How many? How many?
34:25
Players want to contextualize, like, sure, we've got 4.
34:28
Figure would beat the record for since they started calculating
34:30
it. Was a 500.
34:32
Cooley had. 301 but it was like. 30131 and 82 games.
34:36
That's unreal. So sure what must have like like
34:38
500 not 400? I don't know how many. 460.
34:43
What the hell? 460 is like right there.
34:48
Yeah, that's bonkers. Yeah, no, like.
34:52
He said he missed four games. You have gone 40 hits like he
34:55
could have. That's what he was going for.
34:57
Yes, yeah. Where do you think Sherwood
34:59
goes? Where do these like pure bangers
35:01
guys with like who just had an insane season like this?
35:04
Obviously this is not gonna be like every bangers league out
35:06
there, but our league is like very deep category heavy.
35:08
Like we played 15 categories. Yeah, you could win you that
35:11
category every week, which you did.
35:12
Like he. Wanted about the goodness and
35:14
where. Did you draft him?
35:16
Drafted Gudas in round eleven. Yeah, that's, I could see she
35:20
was going in like around 8:00 or 9:00.
35:22
Yeah. Michaels feels high.
35:25
And he can get more. Points he just had the most
35:26
insane year though, like that's, you know, I think it is.
35:28
I think that is high to pick him.
35:30
Yeah. But if you think he can repeat,
35:31
then that's a solid place. Would you take him over Tom
35:33
Wilson? No.
35:34
I took both of the eighth. Yeah, goes ahead of the 8th next
35:37
year. But that's it.
35:38
I'm also not targeting Wilson next year because he's gonna go
35:40
too high in my opinion as well. That's it.
35:43
I'm always like. Yeah.
35:45
Like as well. As a part as opposed to guys who
35:47
had good years. Look, listen, obviously like it
35:50
would be amazing if you could replicate it, in which case I
35:52
think the 8th is like an under like he should go with.
35:54
This yeah, that's worth taking the risk on at their cost and I
35:58
think an 8th to 12th round pick like for the guy that might
36:01
average 10 hits the game. Like forward.
36:06
Switch, switch. OK and I I hate what if.
36:09
What if ADP didn't exist though? What do you?
36:12
Mean like, like you go into a draft and like, there's no such
36:15
thing as ADP, like who do you want on your team?
36:17
Yeah. No, no, no, I know.
36:18
But you picking splash because everyone's gonna take.
36:20
Special might. You could take Spanish and there
36:22
would, that's what. I'm saying like you could.
36:25
You're asking like value of where they're gonna be.
36:28
Drafted kind of like I'm just. Saying the 5th or sure within
36:30
the 10th type of thing. Like would you rather have?
36:32
Yeah. But I'm saying like, if you're
36:33
like just doing a draft and like there's no particular order on
36:36
the screen, other opponents don't see ADP and, you know,
36:39
Sherwood and Smash are both on your watchlist.
36:41
Yeah, no, but you know what I'm saying, I think.
36:43
She would probably help. The likelihood that Sasha is
36:46
going to get picked higher it it makes you want to pick Spanish
36:49
because you could easily grab smash.
36:50
I'd probably decent value this year.
36:53
The point difference is enough to make much better, but like I
36:56
don't. I never enjoy having such on my
36:57
team. My team this year.
36:59
Would have been like if he does anything like you did.
37:01
Last year he's a blast. Because you didn't invest like
37:04
True Yeah, draft capital that points from his.
37:07
Putting up are just like you see a double digit in any category
37:09
other than Pimms and you're like, yeah, what is going on
37:12
you? Know free software?
37:13
Face off wins. Yeah, exactly.
37:14
Those two are like the only ones that like, you know, you see
37:17
that you're like, OK, cool, it's just another day.
37:18
But like, you see that in hits and that's crazy.
37:21
That's like, I had to lose on two years ago and he was running
37:23
up like eight hits and I was like, this is the best hits
37:25
player in the history of the game.
37:27
You know, like like 12. Like, yeah, yeah, no, that's
37:30
just insane. I mean, if Heyman wasn't didn't
37:32
get injured like these playoffs and like I wasn't worried about
37:34
his health going into next season.
37:35
Have you seen the he's been doing in the playoffs?
37:37
Yeah, I've been inside. Yeah, yeah, I haven't seen this
37:39
like by far. Had a game where you had like 12
37:41
hits or like. Yeah, he's.
37:43
Like at some point the people are counting these hits are just
37:46
like. Yeah, they're definitely,
37:48
definitely the thing though. Like different different arenas.
37:50
Different. Doctors and like some, are known
37:52
for hitting more. I know they target some arenas
37:54
more than more. There's like some teams.
37:55
Do you really? Yeah, some are known for like.
37:59
You do that too? Yeah, some some arenas are known
38:01
for having me looking for streamers.
38:04
OK, Yeah, I had no idea that you guys do that.
38:10
Not as wild. As is surrounded by sharks.
38:14
Holy holy moly, this is scary. Anyway, moving on again, same
38:18
date, November 20th. Kevin Betts, Josh that Marty
38:21
Natus ends the year with more points than Kyle Connor.
38:24
Not even. Close.
38:25
Really, Jake, you just like set me up on November 20th.
38:27
You like Jimmy, don't make it up.
38:30
Yeah, seriously. Remember this episode?
38:32
Because I had the bet wins. Kyle Connor, 97 points, absolute
38:38
monster. But you know what?
38:40
It's almost as impressive that nature's got 85 because I feel
38:43
like on the non rod team this guy is a machine.
38:48
Never goes to the Colorado. Maybe he beats the record.
38:50
What? No.
38:51
No, I'm saying the opposite. Earlier, yeah.
38:55
Sorry that he could have gone close like at least in like 90.
38:59
Two telling you guys at the time, and I'll repeat it now,
39:01
that Connor is criminally. Underrated.
39:03
Be like President's winners for. Sure, but I mean even even if
39:06
the team wasn't doing that well, like Connor has been sick for
39:09
like years and like no one gives him credit like fantasy wise or
39:13
at least we're given the credit he.
39:14
Deserves you take Connor on the second round.
39:17
Like to me this is crazy to not do that.
39:19
Like at this point his shots are sick.
39:21
His shots are like four shots a game.
39:23
Like at least like if he if I think he can repeat this, and I
39:25
mean, Winnipeg was really good. I don't.
39:27
Know before you go 60. One point of 1/3, like an early
39:30
third round. But I think like he depending on
39:32
who else is available, he can definitely, I definitely see him
39:34
getting taken. Senator Carl Connor.
39:36
OK, hold on, hold on. They are.
39:39
Theoretically, but it's OK, it's weird stuff is gonna.
39:42
Happen this offseason. So 2324 he averaged .94 points
39:46
per game. Yeah, this year, how much do you
39:48
think 1.18? Yeah, that's now.
39:51
He definitely had a huge career. That's like way more 2/5.
39:55
More no his go to like she's 29 good player was goals and shots
39:59
yeah like points wise he's like you know like a solid point per
40:03
game, but but the same was already good like I'm not
40:06
saying. Like he scored the same.
40:07
Just assisted way more exactly. But he's always been really good
40:11
at like goals and shots. He just got better at assists
40:14
because the rest that he had on his line.
40:16
So and Shipley also had an unreal year.
40:20
Yeah, it's it was an interesting year with with Connor for sure.
40:25
1.18 It's definitely a career year for. 2 interesting years
40:29
for two good players, but you guys were so hot.
40:31
You guys were flying so high on nachos at the at this time like
40:34
he was this was before way before the trade.
40:36
This was him like just killing it the first like month or two.
40:40
He was playing like a first round pick at that time.
40:42
So you guys were like so hype on him.
40:44
But but I knew my boy Kyle Connor would.
40:46
Come through, How do you think he goes next year?
40:49
Too high. Too high.
40:51
I'm not. I'm not.
40:51
Targeting the third. Like I think he.
40:53
Can I can see where did Denzel get taken the?
40:55
Points. To say like 3rd or 4th.
40:57
I can see him getting taken around like I view that similar
41:00
like similar vocabulary. He'll be just.
41:03
I guess I'm getting taken like in the third or. 4th like why
41:06
would I take more chinko over over changes?
41:09
The shots angle. Fair.
41:11
That's like my like natures is like.
41:13
Larger nature. He's gonna be like, this was
41:16
his, like, best year ever, Yeah. And he was just over point per
41:18
game and he didn't do much in terms of back hats.
41:22
Larkin or natures? Probably Larkin.
41:24
Larkin, Yeah. So dynamic it tasted so.
41:28
Wyatt. Yeah, just just you know what,
41:32
the only thing with Johnston is that I don't know, the stars are
41:35
too are too deep. So.
41:36
They scare me. It's gonna be a Mauser.
41:38
He's playing with the best player in the world.
41:40
Yeah, like no natures. Like natures is Natures could
41:43
get 100 points this year, and I'm saying that because I got 87
41:45
on a raw team. Hello, that's.
41:48
Funny. Not such an OVI.
41:50
Probably. Teenagers over haven't been
41:53
taking over for the past like. It was so fun though this.
41:56
Is gonna be his last year though, like he said.
41:58
Yeah, like this is last year in the NHL.
42:00
So over Albertson. Yeah, that means Robinson
42:04
falling to the fifth round. Yeah, I could see that.
42:07
But actually like Robertson was one of my like low key targets,
42:09
I think because. You have the point.
42:12
Yeah, and he started off super slow.
42:14
Yeah, Like, no, I'm really high on ages.
42:16
Like extremely. I just think that like Kyle
42:18
Connor is like actually sick. Like they.
42:20
Just get 90 points next year. I think so.
42:22
That's like like. But I think he doesn't.
42:26
Odd team shot, you know, is horrible to be an owner and then
42:30
he moves to play with McKinnon. There's no better landing spot.
42:33
Literally. McDavid does not get the like.
42:35
Out of much better than you do on Colorado versus.
42:37
Then, but it was good season. Here's a whole offseason to
42:40
practice with him. Not like I think he's walking
42:41
around next The Walking out next year with 100 easy, easy.
42:45
Probably probably like not even sealing saying between 90 and
42:49
110. Like I think nature is sick.
42:51
With nothing like with no other cats coverage though look at
42:54
power play points. I don't know.
42:57
I don't need to have three shots.
42:59
Yeah. Nevertheless, I understand why
43:00
you wouldn't be too hard, but yeah.
43:02
Like I just think like he just had 85 and it was his best
43:04
season ever. Like I could see him.
43:06
I could see. Him yeah blow out because here
43:08
but it was also changed at like describes the jumping points
43:12
yeah. Exactly, that's not true, he was
43:15
doing crazy in points before the trade.
43:18
It's not like the trade cost him to have this crazy year.
43:20
He was already having a. Crazy.
43:22
If if Mckinnon's getting 120. Like someone needs to be there
43:26
like. Yeah.
43:27
Someone write shotgun. Yeah, that's fair.
43:29
I mean, we'll also have to see with like offseason, like apps
43:32
are definitely gonna make a move with all that empty ranting in
43:34
space, you know, So who knows what happens.
43:36
But no, I like Nachos a lot. I think he's going to be a good
43:38
pick up and he's gonna be a good contributor on any team.
43:41
But that early on, I'm looking for, you know, guys who are more
43:44
guaranteed. To kill the points of Panera.
43:46
And this year, you were happier with Natures.
43:48
Yeah, but I think we all think. The same type of player does.
43:51
Panera is more elite. A little bit more reliable.
43:54
But aren't shoots more and I would expect an iron to get more
43:57
points than. Each like Marchenko images are
43:59
in the same conversation For me, Yeah, we're all probably taking
44:01
inches. 18 inches getting more points but Marchenko is gonna
44:04
have way more. Shots I would take natures
44:06
higher than you guys, there's no doubt about it and I feel like
44:09
very confident in doing it. I'm avoiding him.
44:11
Yeah. All right, that wraps up part
44:13
one of our beer bets episode. Stay tuned for the next one
44:19
outro. Sorry, I was just finishing my
44:22
beer. Yeah, the next one is going to
44:26
be good because we're gonna be a couple more beers deep, so we'll
44:28
see what other crazy takes we get.
44:29
Into might sound different, yeah.
44:31
Exactly. About Bound Banger management
44:34
Fantasy hockey podcast Woo. Woo woo woo.
44:38
That sounded different. All right, let's down some
44:43
beers.
