  Much appreciated. OK, begin with tidbit #1
• 1:06
  Colorado traded for Brock Nelson and he slotted line 2 power play
• 1:11
  one with the Trushkin. Both Liking and Andrea are
• 1:13
  bumped off power. Play one for now, and you should
• 1:15
  pick up Nichushkin or Nelson if they're still available in your.
• 1:18
  League, yeah, I mean, this is the first, this is the first
• 1:21
  episode after the trade deadline, right?
• 1:22
  So we're going to have a lot to talk about, a lot of trades and
• 1:25
  their implications, and you line up.
• 1:27
  So it's pretty exciting. I think we saw Brock Nelson slot
• 1:30
  into P2 off the bat and then he made his way up to P1.
• 1:35
  Yeah, he's climbed his way up. Yeah, so I think exactly like
• 1:39
  what you just mentioned, I think he's definitely worth an ad.
• 1:41
  We've known Brock Nelson to be like a pretty.
• 1:42
  I feel like he's always underrated, super underrated for
• 1:45
  fantasy. This year, he's kind of been.
• 1:46
  Bad. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:47
  But on Colorado, he'll be better than what he was on the
• 1:49
  Islanders, right? So.
• 1:51
  Yeah, no, I like deployment log. I also like how this affects the
• 1:53
  shoe skin. First of all, him finally
• 1:55
  getting back on power play one, but also just having a competent
• 1:58
  centre to play with. You know, like it's uh, he
• 2:00
  hasn't. He's been stuck on line too and
• 2:02
  they've been stacking line like line one.
• 2:04
  But now to have Nelson to play with, he just put up a four
• 2:07
  point performance where he got a hat trick recently.
• 2:08
  So he's definitely both these guys are with a good look.
• 2:11
  I think this Colorado top 6 right now looks really, really
• 2:13
  strong. Yeah, the trades they made.
• 2:15
  Even the third line is decent. Yeah, well, not really fantasy
• 2:19
  relevant, but in real life. Is there any chance of this call
• 2:22
  comes back? No, no, I don't think he's ever
• 2:24
  coming. Back.
• 2:24
  No, no. Yeah, he's, I think he's done.
• 2:27
  Looking. Really.
• 2:27
  Good, He keeps saying he's gonna be back.
• 2:29
  Yeah, I mean, he's trying, but it's not.
• 2:31
  Gonna, he wants to, yeah, yeah. Yeah, actually looking more into
• 2:34
  this, this looks like a real, real force.
• 2:36
  This yeah, I think their trade and I think I mean we'll talk
• 2:39
  about Tampa later, but Tampa trade too.
• 2:40
  I think it really makes them a strong contender.
• 2:42
  Like they're they're top nine really gets like pretty
• 2:44
  solidified. Yeah, for sure.
• 2:45
  But fantasy wise, yeah, those two guys take a huge bump.
• 2:49
  Drew out obviously being bumped off Power Play 1 sucks, but
• 2:52
  Online 2 do you think he can have success there?
• 2:54
  Because they're going to be a good 55 line.
• 2:57
  But I don't think it's worth holding on to him.
• 3:00
  He has zero back hats he doesn't have.
• 3:02
  His only value is if he's getting points and the second is
• 3:05
  bumped off power play one, he's losing half his points.
• 3:08
  Let's see. So you know, I think it's gonna
• 3:10
  be a good line too. I think he's not gonna get 0
• 3:12
  points rest of the season, you know, But if he's not on power
• 3:14
  play one I have no interest in. Holding it, I dropped you in for
• 3:17
  most of these guys that you know, like their value got
• 3:19
  bumped with trades and stuff. I'd be willing to drop join for
• 3:22
  any of those. Guys, Yeah, what about it?
• 3:24
  And I think like an into, I don't know what you guys think
• 3:26
  about that, but I think if he's not on power play one.
• 3:28
  I mean he's The thing is the one thing I will say with the drops
• 3:31
  is that there's they shuffle it around a lot, right.
• 3:33
  So just because a guy gets moved off, it doesn't mean they won't
• 3:36
  get moved back on the next game. But at this point in the season
• 3:39
  where it's really like every week, it could be your last
• 3:42
  week, you gotta do what the immediate thing is.
• 3:44
  So I would be willing to drop either of those guys.
• 3:46
  Yeah, fair enough. Alright, Edmonton traded for
• 3:50
  Jake Walman, who is now on line 2, Power play 2.
• 3:53
  Rest in peace has fantasy value, yeah.
• 3:55
  Yeah, it's a huge drop in value for Wallman.
• 3:58
  It show us some golden blocks are still amazing, but don't
• 4:00
  expect any PowerPoints and a big dip in points from him rest of
• 4:04
  season. He has thrived IRL as a
• 4:08
  defenseman, like an actual defensive defenseman, and that's
• 4:11
  what he's going to do here. For playoff, amazing trait
• 4:13
  fragment in like real life. I actually can't believe that.
• 4:16
  Detroit let him go. Yeah, that happened after that,
• 4:19
  yeah. I keep him around in a bangers
• 4:21
  league though just for the. Back if you if you have.
• 4:23
  He's really gonna. Leave if you have blocks in your
• 4:25
  league would keep him cause he shoots any blocks and like just
• 4:27
  having any exposure to McDavid and Draisaitl.
• 4:30
  Like he'll get points you know but it's gonna be way less than
• 4:33
  he was getting before. So he definitely.
• 4:35
  Takes a lot. He's one of the more elite shot
• 4:38
  and blocked combination defensemen.
• 4:40
  And it was really nice what it was, you know, P1 on San Jose
• 4:43
  and like the guy there now that he's on Edmonton, like he's the
• 4:47
  third guy there, Yeah. So I don't think his fantasy
• 4:51
  value completely. Falls off and I think he's an
• 4:53
  immediate drop, but I would not be happy if I was a woman owner.
• 4:55
  No, I mean he'll, he'll probably look into some, you know, 55
• 4:58
  points I'm guessing like he'll he'll be like a 0.5.55 kind of
• 5:04
  point per game player rest of the season.
• 5:06
  Which isn't bad. No, in terms of defensemen like
• 5:08
  it could be worse though. Like I could be too optimistic
• 5:13
  because he's a .6 on San Jose and it's getting worse.
• 5:15
  Yeah. So maybe it's point 4.5?
• 5:17
  Like I think it's gonna be like a .4, like something like.
• 5:19
  That getting you a lot of blocks in a lot of shows.
• 5:21
  Like that's still roster, but you have to change your
• 5:23
  expectation. Like you're completely getting
• 5:24
  zero power. Production at this point, pretty
• 5:26
  much. He's not an immediate drop, but
• 5:27
  he's just got a lot worse. Yep, Ottawa traded Josh Norris
• 5:32
  to Buffalo Ford Dylan Cousins. Buffalo does it again.
• 5:35
  Yeah, so the Sounds are winning the Cup.
• 5:37
  Game. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 5:39
  This year is the next two years. Yeah, it's definitely a massive
• 5:42
  trade for real life and fantasy. Cousins is slaughtered in online
• 5:46
  2 power play, one for Ottawa, and his hits have been insane as
• 5:49
  of late. All season.
• 5:50
  Like really? He's been so good.
• 5:52
  But really, since the trade, he's putting up like nine hits
• 5:54
  again. Yeah, the Dylan Cousins owner in
• 5:57
  our personal league the whole year and Josh has tried to trim
• 5:59
  away from me a little bit, but he's just points.
• 6:03
  He was nothing special .5 the whole season, but a really good
• 6:07
  shots, face offs and hits, which is a great combination.
• 6:11
  And then you saw the two games before the trade, he got six
• 6:14
  hits and seven hits, and then right after the trade, nine hits
• 6:17
  and eight hits. Yeah, playing wine 2.
• 6:19
  He's been a point per game after the trade, since he's been
• 6:22
  Ottawa. He's sliding into that line.
• 6:24
  2P1. I think he's like, he's a league
• 6:28
  winner. I think if you're able to pick
• 6:29
  him up, he was like. The Ottawa has the best playoff
• 6:32
  schedule like any team. So if Cousins available in your
• 6:35
  bangers league. I mean, if it was a deep Bangers
• 6:36
  he shouldn't have been available.
• 6:39
  Sleek, he's a must pick up and a points league.
• 6:41
  I think he's still a solid pickup, but Bangers is really
• 6:44
  where he's gonna shine. Before the trade deadline he was
• 6:46
  on 29% owned yeah, which is he's a widely available and mostly
• 6:50
  right now he's at 40% owned after the trade and I think
• 6:53
  that's just gonna go way up after you know one more game is
• 6:56
  gonna if he even if he doesn't have the best game like I still.
• 6:59
  Think I definitely see him getting to like 60%.
• 7:01
  Yeah, for sure. I think it's really easy for him
• 7:02
  to do. Would you rather Dylan Cousins
• 7:04
  or Brock Nelson? Cousins.
• 7:07
  Well, for a banger league. Cousins.
• 7:09
  Bangers like I take cousins as well.
• 7:10
  Yeah. That probably points.
• 7:12
  To I think points like for sure. I think Cousins as well, yeah.
• 7:15
  I'm. Yes, Cousins is my answer for
• 7:18
  sure. I don't know, I think I think
• 7:20
  Nelson's gonna get more PowerPoints if he sticks on that
• 7:22
  first power play unit. Just that's a much better power.
• 7:25
  Like, I like Ottawa a lot, but you're playing with McKinnon and
• 7:27
  a car. And yeah, but most PowerPoints
• 7:29
  are gonna be between, you know, to be McKinnon and Macar most
• 7:31
  likely. And then one other guy is gonna
• 7:33
  be Trushkin. Is it gonna be Nature Nelson
• 7:36
  Natures like they got guys? I don't know.
• 7:38
  I like the exposure on Colorado. I think, I think I would take
• 7:41
  Nelson having more points for us this season, but I think what
• 7:43
  Cousins brings in terms of his back cats is so much more
• 7:46
  valuable. Yeah, feel like a lot of points
• 7:48
  league still give you. You know, points for.
• 7:51
  His Yeah. So you're going into each game
• 7:53
  with Cousins? Like A freak.
• 7:54
  Yeah, great, great floor. And his ceiling is also really
• 7:57
  high. So yeah, I take Cousins in all
• 7:59
  formats quickly on Josh Norris. We do like it for him.
• 8:03
  I like it. I think he wasn't on power play
• 8:05
  one in Ottawa towards the end of his stay there, you know, she
• 8:08
  really had bumped him off and he wasn't getting the spot back.
• 8:11
  And on Buffalo, they've immediately put him on line one
• 8:13
  power play 1. So his deployment gets way
• 8:15
  better. And I think he's just a really
• 8:17
  solid player. I mean, all year we've been
• 8:19
  saying to pick up Josh Norris. You know, I think it's a a bit
• 8:22
  concerning like Kevin had mentioned earlier that his back
• 8:26
  cats haven't been great since the trade, but it's only been
• 8:29
  two games, so it's a pretty small sample size.
• 8:31
  I would definitely be taking a flyer on.
• 8:32
  Norris I'd for sure at this point, even though he hasn't
• 8:36
  shown like the production that you would expect from a guy just
• 8:38
  got traded to a team that's going to have like great
• 8:41
  deployment for him. I think we know what he can do.
• 8:44
  He's great for Bangor categories usually, even though we haven't
• 8:46
  seen it yet. And I think you also have to
• 8:48
  take into account the human element here.
• 8:49
  Like, he was devastated to leave Ottawa.
• 8:51
  Like, Brady was his best friend. They grew up playing together.
• 8:55
  He gets traded. I think he really caught him off
• 8:56
  guard. And I think he's devastated.
• 8:58
  And I think people were saying you see him on the ice in
• 9:00
  Buffalo and he's still like, not over it.
• 9:02
  So I think give him give him a couple of games so, you know,
• 9:04
  develop some chemistry. Would Tage get acclimated to a
• 9:08
  new situation? I think we'll see him be back to
• 9:10
  himself. And I think his ceiling is
• 9:11
  higher here than it is on Ottawa.
• 9:15
  OK, LA traded 4 Andre Kuzmenko and he got put on to line one
• 9:19
  power play 1 immediately. His back hats are nothing and
• 9:25
  Ella's power play hasn't been great, but he can be worth the
• 9:28
  speculative AD in case he can figure things out before losing
• 9:32
  that deployment. So my thoughts on this LA is not
• 9:35
  an offensive team and his what he could bring to the table is
• 9:38
  pure, pure offence. Will that you know, turn things
• 9:43
  around for them him alone, I don't think so.
• 9:44
  And therefore I think that he's just gonna shuffle into like the
• 9:48
  line 3 or 4 and not be relevant sooner than.
• 9:50
  Later, That's kind of how I feel too.
• 9:51
  Like we've just seen this guy get bounced around so many teams
• 9:54
  already because he's like a liability defensively and Doug
• 9:57
  like these defensive system teams keep trading for him.
• 10:00
  So I don't understand. It's like, you know, you go to
• 10:03
  Philadelphia or a team that's like built to be solid
• 10:06
  defensively and then you get scratched and you don't play
• 10:09
  because you are not good defensively.
• 10:11
  Then LA similar team where you know they're they're themselves
• 10:14
  on being a really stout defence and he's not a player like that.
• 10:18
  So maybe they just need more goal scoring ability.
• 10:20
  Every team does. But if he's a liability
• 10:23
  everytime he's on the ice, I don't think he keeps a
• 10:25
  deployment that he's gonna get so.
• 10:26
  Yeah, I agree. I think look, he's I think if he
• 10:30
  keeps the deployment and he starts putting up points, then
• 10:32
  he could be worth a pickup. But I wouldn't preemptively pick
• 10:35
  him up. I don't think anyone else is
• 10:36
  grabbing. Him, yeah.
• 10:37
  Do you have like a team just off the top of your head that you
• 10:39
  think you would succeed on? I was actually gonna ask you
• 10:41
  guys that he had mentioned that he keeps going to defensive
• 10:43
  teams. I don't know why the trade for
• 10:46
  him though. Yeah, I'm trying to think it's
• 10:48
  like a really offensive minded team.
• 10:50
  Like Toronto? Columbus, Toronto.
• 10:52
  Toronto, Columbus. Those are two good ones.
• 10:53
  Yeah, because LA is just not built that way, no.
• 10:57
  No, neither is Philly. They're literally gonna put Brad
• 10:59
  Clark at forward, Yeah. Maybe they just need to body, I
• 11:02
  don't know. Yeah, I guess.
• 11:05
  I don't know. I don't see this working out for
• 11:07
  them unfortunately. But I didn't really pay much for
• 11:09
  it so. Speaking of Toronto, they traded
• 11:13
  for Scott Lawton and he's been playing Line 3.
• 11:15
  No power play. Any value he had is gone.
• 11:18
  It's not really worth holding him even in a face off.
• 11:20
  League, yeah, he's. Great IRL move made him
• 11:23
  completely irrelevant for fantasy.
• 11:25
  Yeah. Yeah, Kevin, anything on this
• 11:27
  one? Yeah, I think I, I'm still
• 11:31
  keeping an eye on Lawton, especially in leagues that have
• 11:33
  face off wins and you know, that are pretty deep, like, you know,
• 11:36
  your rosters 20 plus spots. I think you can have some value
• 11:39
  for a type of player that fills up that bottom of your roster
• 11:42
  where you're getting like shots, hits, blocks and face off wins
• 11:45
  out of out of a forward position.
• 11:47
  Keeping an eye on him for that. But my expectations are lower
• 11:50
  now and definitely after the trade.
• 11:52
  I'm not as enthused about it. Yeah, yeah, he, he.
• 11:56
  Really have shorties like he probably slots on on the on the
• 11:58
  PK. Yeah.
• 11:59
  But I think like Philadelphia was one of the best short handed
• 12:02
  teams like the last couple of years.
• 12:04
  So and you got to play with like connecting I think on
• 12:06
  shorthanded, which is like huge. He's not getting that like on
• 12:09
  Toronto. So I'm really have 0 interest in
• 12:11
  him now. Like if you were holding him
• 12:13
  then I would drop him for someone else.
• 12:16
  Someone holding him. I'm just keeping an eye on him
• 12:18
  on waivers. If you're not really deeply,
• 12:19
  like I said, like you know, 2020 plus roster spots.
• 12:22
  Yeah, I think that Philly system was perfect for him, and he's
• 12:25
  just not gonna. Thrive here.
• 12:26
  I think it'll be good for them IRL like grade 3C to have.
• 12:29
  Here is reliable on La La should trade with Toronto I feel like
• 12:35
  that would be a better fit yeah but anyway we'll see I'm I'm on
• 12:41
  the train and this is a relevant fantasy though OK Boston
• 12:45
  acquired middle staff from Colorado for Charlie Coyle Coyle
• 12:48
  is going to be buried in the ABS lineup and lose any value we had
• 12:51
  although this year he wasn't really very.
• 12:52
  Good last year stretches are being.
• 12:54
  Mailed last year was great, but this year he just really fell
• 12:56
  off and Middlestadt has found himself on the line. 2 power
• 12:59
  play, one in Boston. He could be worth a look.
• 13:02
  Yeah, he just scored a power play goal his last game.
• 13:05
  I mean this Boston team right now is so wild.
• 13:08
  Like they just, they just shut out Tampa 40 after they traded
• 13:11
  away Marshawn. Like I don't know what to take
• 13:13
  away from them, but I can't imagine they finish the season
• 13:15
  strong. No, there's not gonna be a lot
• 13:16
  of scoring on that team, but like he's going from having
• 13:20
  terrible deployment to being on power play 1.
• 13:22
  So if he, you know, can have finished off the season strong,
• 13:25
  he could be worth a good look. They play 424 in weeks 22 to 24.
• 13:30
  So you can pick him up for week 22.
• 13:31
  I'm sure you can drop him week 23 and pick him back up week 24.
• 13:34
  You know, like, I don't think is gonna be that good, but.
• 13:36
  I'm just surprised Dustin home from line 2.
• 13:39
  Yeah, yeah, I don't. Know anybody that's not on that
• 13:43
  line? 1 is irrelevant.
• 13:45
  I think they're bad enough that, yeah, but like power play, one
• 13:47
  is still a good place to be. No, I'm past.
• 13:49
  I could turn it on any moment. So we're just getting to be the
• 13:51
  guy to pass it to. Him, but their line 1 is geeky
• 13:53
  zaka pasta and their line 2 is middlestadt, Lettieri and Kepke.
• 13:58
  Yeah, no even strength, there's no.
• 13:59
  Value and then Lynn Holmes. Lynn Holmes Wingers are loco and
• 14:02
  I don't even know how to pronounce his name.
• 14:05
  From Minnesota, yeah. Yeah, so it's like who?
• 14:08
  Who are these guys? You know what I mean?
• 14:10
  How the mighty have fallen with. Boston couldn't.
• 14:14
  Who's new push? You know, yeah, yeah, I feel
• 14:18
  bad. I'm sorry but.
• 14:19
  I don't think he's listening. That made me listening.
• 14:23
  Yeah. Maybe this is where he found out
• 14:25
  that he got treated. The only thing with this about
• 14:31
  Middlestadt is that when he was playing with McKinnon or, you
• 14:36
  know, Ranson at the beginning of the season, he was doing.
• 14:38
  Really well get a really good start to the season.
• 14:39
  Yeah, which maybe this means that he's a very good
• 14:41
  complementary player to superstars, kind of like he was
• 14:45
  never able to find his groove until he played with him.
• 14:48
  So maybe he'll actually do super well at feeding pass or knocked
• 14:51
  the puck. You know, it's an interesting
• 14:54
  one to keep an eye on. Dallas acquired Mikko Rantanen
• 14:58
  from Carolina for Logan. Thank Robin and a bunch of
• 15:01
  draft. Picks This was the craziest saga
• 15:03
  of the whole trade deadline like.
• 15:05
  For like the past couple of years, I don't think I've seen
• 15:08
  something like this happen for years.
• 15:10
  A guy at this high quality and high level, you know, first of
• 15:12
  all, not resigning with his team, going to a team and then
• 15:17
  getting traded the same year again, It's crazy, It's
• 15:20
  ridiculous. And is Dallas now the Cup
• 15:22
  favorite after this move? I mean, most likely.
• 15:25
  They have 00 holes on their roster, the best top nine we've
• 15:29
  probably ever seen in the cap era.
• 15:30
  It's crazy when they're fully. Healthy.
• 15:32
  I mean, realistically in terms of this year, they gave up
• 15:34
  nothing and got Rantanen, obviously.
• 15:36
  Gives thank oven. That's yeah, that's pretty much
• 15:38
  nothing. Yeah.
• 15:38
  Like they pretty much got Rantanen was a top five player
• 15:41
  in the league for free. Obviously we're not taking
• 15:44
  account future years talking about this year, you know, and
• 15:45
  they were already a top like three team in the league and
• 15:48
  they just added. So I don't see how they're not a
• 15:50
  heavy heavy favorite. And then they have a top three
• 15:53
  goal in the lead and then they have a really solid defence with
• 15:58
  serious number one with Hastings and coming back.
• 16:00
  Thomas Hardy looks like a gem. Get some good defensive guys on
• 16:03
  there like Lindell. It's a good time to be a Dallas
• 16:05
  fan. Yeah, next.
• 16:06
  I'd be surprised if they don't win multiple Cups in the next
• 16:08
  like eight years. I mean that's they have their
• 16:11
  guys locked up as. Well, that's it.
• 16:12
  They resigned, just resigned Johnston to like a five year
• 16:15
  deal. That's like, pretty cheap.
• 16:16
  Soon better say you will be off the books as well.
• 16:18
  Yeah, like that's gonna be huge cap room for them to play with.
• 16:20
  I just don't know how they did that.
• 16:22
  Like the GM is really. Really good gaming.
• 16:25
  Yeah. Actually, though, it's yeah.
• 16:29
  To me, there's no question that they're the favorite and I don't
• 16:33
  see any. Team with them in the West I
• 16:35
  don't think they may they may fight Colorado on the first
• 16:38
  night yeah I think Colorado beating them I could just see it
• 16:41
  being like you know making wills away I.
• 16:43
  Can see whichever team wins that series winning the cup.
• 16:45
  Honestly, it's crazy that it has to happen in the first round.
• 16:47
  Yeah, for sure. I'd love to see that to be
• 16:49
  honest. But Stafford Dallas if they lose
• 16:51
  in the 1st. Round that would be so brutal.
• 16:52
  But also, I'd be so happy for Colorado.
• 16:54
  Yeah, Yep. I just and Stankovic.
• 16:59
  Did touch on this though, like Rantanen, what do we expect rest
• 17:02
  of season because. Huge.
• 17:03
  Obviously, the outlook from Carolina.
• 17:05
  Yeah, I still don't expect him to be as good as he was on
• 17:08
  Colorado. I think that was just like the
• 17:10
  best he's going to be. I think he's going to be way
• 17:13
  better than he was in Carolina. That's the worst he'll ever be.
• 17:16
  So I think that's ranting. The note should be super happy
• 17:18
  about. The game of the season.
• 17:19
  Yeah, I think so. I think easily, easily more.
• 17:22
  Like one point, all the best that we made before get voided.
• 17:27
  It stands no. How does that stay?
• 17:31
  You can't just different information.
• 17:32
  There was never a clause in the vet that said it's in case he
• 17:35
  gets treated. Now we gotta we gotta keep it
• 17:38
  the way it was. Yeah, I was super low on him.
• 17:41
  Yeah, I mean if. Anything.
• 17:42
  I was super high on him so. No, but.
• 17:44
  I knew this would. Happen.
• 17:45
  I think we were on the same side, Josh.
• 17:47
  Yeah, I think. But also I feel like just just a
• 17:50
  bit made with false information. Really tough.
• 17:54
  Do you even think though that like I know we're just skipping
• 17:57
  ahead, but like next year is ranting and the best scorer on
• 17:59
  this team assuming it stays at this?
• 18:01
  Are you talking like points? Points, points.
• 18:04
  Robertson could get more points, Johnson could get more points,
• 18:07
  which is just crazy because I could easily get 100.
• 18:10
  Points. I think that just shows how
• 18:12
  insane their team. Basically just gonna be about
• 18:15
  the mix of how you know when you have to share the puck, Does it
• 18:20
  split too many ways where Colorado is super top heavy,
• 18:22
  right? Yeah.
• 18:23
  Yeah, big time. OK.
• 18:26
  It's going to be very interesting to watch Dallas the
• 18:28
  rest of the season. Yeah.
• 18:29
  Ottawa has required. Before we move over, so
• 18:33
  Stankovic went the other way and he got put onto line 3 power
• 18:36
  play one. Obviously rod changes the lines
• 18:38
  a ton, but you know he's worth a look on on if he stays on that
• 18:42
  power play one unit Carolina should have a good power play.
• 18:44
  They don't, but maybe he could be the answer for them.
• 18:46
  Never better than. PowerPoint, yeah, honestly, but
• 18:50
  yeah, no, I think he's worthy of like a a look and he shoots a
• 18:54
  lot and he's already got a power play goal in his two games with
• 18:56
  them so. The main thing with him is his
• 18:57
  shots, like his shot volume is really high.
• 18:59
  He's also, I think top three in the worst at converting his
• 19:04
  shots. Yeah, he's got a really low
• 19:05
  shooting. Scene.
• 19:06
  So that just goes to show that there's a lot of room for
• 19:08
  improvement, but maybe also that the player is just not there
• 19:11
  yet. So it can be like a development
• 19:13
  in it can be a luck thing, but he's been unlucky the whole
• 19:15
  season. So it kind of falls more on I
• 19:17
  think the player than luck, let's say.
• 19:19
  Yeah, I don't know who would take his spot on Power Play 1
• 19:22
  though. Is Rod and you can't trust.
• 19:24
  Anyone. Really.
• 19:24
  Jackson Blake. Yeah, I was.
• 19:25
  Gonna say honestly. Think of the randomness player
• 19:27
  on the roster. I mean, he's gonna be the next
• 19:29
  guy on the. Field.
• 19:30
  Yeah, it's without the right now.
• 19:32
  Yeah, I know. That's fresh.
• 19:33
  That's who, obviously. Comes back for sure.
• 19:35
  He gets on there. Yeah, yeah.
• 19:37
  But it was it was Hall who came. On yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:41
  I just, I sadly think this makes them irrelevant for years to
• 19:45
  come. Fantasy.
• 19:46
  Yeah. Just because it's gonna be so
• 19:47
  unpredictable. Like I think I think if, if
• 19:51
  Carolina acts as their coach anything.
• 19:53
  No, yes, yeah, absolutely. But with Rod in place.
• 19:56
  Yeah, yeah. No, he sucks for fantasy.
• 19:58
  I will say I do think this makes him more valuable than he was on
• 20:00
  Dallas. He.
• 20:00
  Had he was gonna crash and playing like.
• 20:02
  He was getting scratched, but I mean, you can attribute that to
• 20:05
  him being like a rookie, whatever, but the fact is their
• 20:06
  lineup is just too deep. He was never gonna crack that
• 20:08
  power play one unit. Right, Ottawa has acquired
• 20:12
  Fabian Zetterlund, who they put on line 4 power play.
• 20:16
  Two, he had value as a deeply banger, but this likes his value
• 20:20
  likely goes down with the reduced ice time that he's going
• 20:24
  to get in Ottawa. Yeah, I was like a double,
• 20:27
  double, Yeah, but. I'm probably.
• 20:28
  Double chins. It's crazy, honestly.
• 20:30
  Have you seen all this stuff about how, like, Eckland was
• 20:31
  his, like, best friend? Yeah, That's, like, super upset
• 20:33
  that he had traded away. Devastated.
• 20:35
  Yeah. Like really really really.
• 20:37
  Chuck Norris. Yeah, exactly.
• 20:38
  A lot of besties getting broken up this trade deadline.
• 20:41
  He he's better than line 4 though for sure.
• 20:44
  It's crazy. That he should not be a fourth
• 20:46
  liner like. I could see him moving up, like,
• 20:48
  I think they could just be starting him out there.
• 20:50
  But I do think he definitely loses value.
• 20:52
  When you're on a team like San Jose where just everything's
• 20:54
  wide open for you, you know, you got a lot more ice time and do
• 20:57
  more. But Otto was in the playoff
• 20:59
  hunt. They're gonna play whoever is
• 21:00
  getting the best chance to win. And he's new to the team, so I
• 21:03
  don't think he's a known commodity enough to.
• 21:05
  Trust I could see him taking over like Peron Spot online too
• 21:08
  playing with Cousins and Batherson.
• 21:10
  That'd be really. Good.
• 21:11
  I think that's the best he could get for him.
• 21:12
  Yeah. Yeah, for.
• 21:13
  Sure, he has no chance to PowerPoint.
• 21:14
  Yeah, people were saying what do you think about this?
• 21:17
  Slight side note, but they were like this is the best way to
• 21:20
  keep writing and check in Ottawa.
• 21:22
  Trade away is best friend. Yeah, I know.
• 21:24
  Saying that he might resign in Ottawa.
• 21:25
  That'd be crazy. I could see it to be honest.
• 21:28
  Florida to be with his brother. Yeah, I could see him going
• 21:30
  anywhere. Can you imagine Florida would
• 21:32
  have like be a like they would be a dynasty if they got Brady
• 21:34
  like? Yeah, I don't know.
• 21:35
  I don't know how to make that. Work.
• 21:36
  Yeah, exactly. There's just no way.
• 21:38
  You have to trade someone away. I don't know who would go.
• 21:39
  Maybe for Hagee they don't seem to be really liking.
• 21:42
  Him they wanted to get rid of. Him then it's a UFA I think
• 21:44
  after this year. Would you rather bend it or
• 21:47
  Brady? Reinhart they wouldn't trade of.
• 21:51
  Course they can now. Better than Chuck?
• 21:53
  Yeah. Yeah, no, obviously Reinhart and
• 21:56
  Barkov are and Ketchup are untouchable.
• 21:58
  Yeah. And then?
• 22:01
  Have big cap here, they can't get rid of them.
• 22:03
  Though no, not after all this. Maybe they could honestly be
• 22:08
  like, we don't want that other team.
• 22:09
  Yeah. Alright, let's move to the next
• 22:12
  one. Traded for Brad Marshawn.
• 22:15
  Crazy. I've got a deadline.
• 22:16
  It felt like yeah, yeah, yeah, it was in the queue.
• 22:21
  Yeah, he may still be weeks away from returning.
• 22:23
  This is huge for real life, but not really an impact for
• 22:26
  fantasy. No, he's not playing these
• 22:30
  seasons. Did you see the clause for the
• 22:32
  trade? Like the pick?
• 22:33
  It was something like he plays 50% of the games and they like
• 22:36
  win the cup or something. No, no, it was like if you if he
• 22:38
  plays 50% of their playoff games, then the pig becomes the
• 22:42
  first round pick. I thought it was he plays 50%
• 22:44
  and they also make it like the third round or something.
• 22:46
  I don't know. I only is definite information.
• 22:48
  I saw somebody say like if you play the 50% like the first two
• 22:51
  rounds, then it becomes a first round pick.
• 22:53
  But I think that just goes to show that ambiguity that he may
• 22:56
  even not be ready for the playoffs.
• 22:58
  Yeah, exactly. But he has been skating so.
• 23:01
  Yeah, they're gonna use him if he's healthy.
• 23:03
  So very sure. Yep.
• 23:04
  Imagine a line of Marshawn Bennett and Kuchuk.
• 23:06
  Yeah. Ohhhhh.
• 23:07
  No, that would be like the worst like to play against.
• 23:09
  Yeah, that would be scary for opponents.
• 23:13
  Espeche Nikov, injured and still being evaluated.
• 23:15
  No timeline yet for his return. Josh cared to comment.
• 23:19
  Josh loves putting those. He loves the no timeline yet for
• 23:22
  return. That is not the third player on
• 23:24
  my roster who has no timeline for return.
• 23:26
  I have Eric Snack and Yoshi as well.
• 23:28
  I don't think either of those guys are coming back this
• 23:30
  season. It's the time of year.
• 23:32
  Come back. But you know, I guess we'll see.
• 23:34
  He's for sure. I think out of all the guys on
• 23:36
  your roster that I heard, he's almost.
• 23:37
  Like, yeah, for sure. Yeah.
• 23:38
  But I mean, I've had guys be day-to-day and then they are
• 23:40
  gone for three months. OK, found the chicken.
• 23:43
  So I have not had good injury like this year, but I guess
• 23:46
  we'll see what happens. But yeah, so he's injured and
• 23:48
  Hollis taking his spot on power play one.
• 23:50
  But with Rod, who knows if that even lost another game.
• 23:53
  You know, like there's just no trust.
• 23:54
  I think. I think Jake's fully on board.
• 23:56
  I think Kevin you agree to with like my whole hating anyone
• 24:00
  like. These guys are so good when
• 24:01
  they're not getting messed around within the.
• 24:05
  Lineup, it's I don't understand how I don't.
• 24:08
  I don't. Think should get fired I'm.
• 24:09
  Just like it's it's crazy. Yeah, I mean, I guess they're
• 24:12
  winning. So like whatever he's doing
• 24:15
  works, but it sucks for. All the way in the regular
• 24:18
  season of that. Hard for a team with this much
• 24:20
  talent. That's when you get to the
• 24:22
  playoffs and you get wrecked. Yeah, you don't.
• 24:25
  I don't know. It was a real eye opener that
• 24:27
  rounds and couldn't succeed there, yeah.
• 24:30
  There is, to be honest. Yeah.
• 24:31
  You just like wasn't trying. Yeah, not that he wasn't trying,
• 24:34
  but like if your head is not in it, you're only gonna be
• 24:36
  successful, so. Sure, but at the end of the day,
• 24:38
  like if you're. One of the best pros.
• 24:39
  In the world like I think I agree that the fact that.
• 24:43
  You and the best deployment they put on line one people one.
• 24:45
  They kept him there like they were moving around them with you
• 24:48
  the whole time. Yeah, but I mean, it was him and
• 24:51
  Jackson Blake. Roll star centre not gonna have
• 24:56
  a fully star-studded third like top line.
• 24:58
  Sure, but they have they have enough players to have two stars
• 25:02
  that like a stars at top six and yet they keep putting like
• 25:04
  Jarvis line 3 and like it just doesn't make any sense.
• 25:07
  But anyways, for fantasy owner, it sucks everyone's team.
• 25:10
  So I don't love trying to stream someone on the Hurricanes power
• 25:13
  play one when you don't know if it's going to last until the
• 25:16
  game after you pick them up. So yeah, but Hall's there for
• 25:20
  now. Hopefully Special comes back.
• 25:22
  Kucherov is day-to-day with an illness.
• 25:25
  We wouldn't expect it to keep him out much longer than that.
• 25:28
  Probably just a few days and he might still be back for the
• 25:31
  next. Game.
• 25:32
  I just threw that in there because Kevin's been complaining
• 25:33
  about his quote UN quote injuries.
• 25:35
  Well, I see a report from a Tampa insider being like coach
• 25:39
  took a shot. He just left the ice holding his
• 25:42
  left hand or something like that.
• 25:43
  And I'm just like, alright, my season's over.
• 25:45
  So I just I did a three for one trade for Kucherov, basically,
• 25:48
  yeah. And then?
• 25:49
  He'll be fine. And then he's like, OK, he's
• 25:51
  playing, and he doesn't play for the third period at all.
• 25:53
  So I'm like, alright, what's happened this time?
• 25:55
  OHS wow. But yeah, this is like last week
• 26:02
  he got benched for like half the game like.
• 26:04
  Yeah, Did you see that meme that came out of it though?
• 26:06
  No, never sitting on the bench. He's like gloves are like off.
• 26:09
  Like, like he just like has his arms like tucked under his like
• 26:11
  armpits like he's so. Used to be on LTIR and we have
• 26:15
  to actually play this time of year.
• 26:16
  But it was funny, he got benched the entire third period and then
• 26:19
  he came on for one shift and he got a goal, so.
• 26:21
  I mean, because he's the best player on the.
• 26:23
  Team for sure. I mean hopefully he's back next
• 26:25
  game. If it's just an illness I can't
• 26:27
  imagine it held him hold him out like long term like mono or
• 26:31
  something. Sorry.
• 26:35
  Within the same minute, that's another.
• 26:37
  That's. It's a record.
• 26:38
  Yeah, alright, let's just keep it clean, guys.
• 26:42
  Tom Wilson, day-to-day after cutting his lip, would probably
• 26:45
  expect him back. That's another one that I threw
• 26:47
  in cuz Kevin's whining about his fake injuries.
• 26:50
  Injuries like I wasn't gonna cut on his lip.
• 26:53
  Maybe she put on some lip balm and you'll be fine.
• 26:57
  OK. Didn't use humidifier.
• 27:00
  Yeah, I tried. You see the salty Yeah I have
• 27:04
  like serious injuries and comments like complaining about
• 27:06
  his guys. Being updated for the season and
• 27:09
  Macavoy for the season. I'm just saying.
• 27:13
  That's the next headline. Kevin's feelings are hurt.
• 27:18
  I mean. Dylan Cousins breaks a nail.
• 27:22
  Still play the third period. Yeah, exactly.
• 27:25
  Evans like he missed a shift to get it filed.
• 27:27
  I'm cooked. OK, OK, non Kevin's team Groupe
• 27:34
  hints. Got hit in the face with the
• 27:36
  puck. That's serious business.
• 27:38
  Not funny. Sorry.
• 27:39
  Expected to be back in a week to Shane.
• 27:41
  Is going to miss all man Yeah, I thought we were hockey player.
• 27:49
  Yeah, talking about not. Apparently like like I saw there
• 27:54
  were parts about it is for some reason I guess the doctor told
• 27:56
  him he has to keep his heart rate low for the next 5 days.
• 27:58
  I don't really know how that relates to getting.
• 28:00
  His blood flow or something? Yeah.
• 28:01
  So essentially, I think he's good to go, but just because of
• 28:04
  the doctor's orders, you can't actually go.
• 28:07
  To report a couple hours ago that said like really good news
• 28:09
  I guess getting yeah and he'll probably.
• 28:11
  Back. He'll be back.
• 28:12
  I saw that he can be back on Sunday so.
• 28:14
  Yeah, yeah, all this line up again, it's just crazy.
• 28:18
  Yeah. And he's going to probably be
• 28:20
  even better because matchup wise he's not going to be against his
• 28:23
  good players as he was. Yeah, exactly.
• 28:25
  J Peterka day-to-day with a lingering injury, he's not gonna
• 28:28
  miss too much time and Buffalo is at the bottom of the
• 28:31
  standings, so they may as well just play it safe and keep him
• 28:34
  out for a bit longer. Essentially, we don't know
• 28:36
  what's gonna They just said he's day-to-day with lingering entry.
• 28:38
  Lingering is always scary because it means that it's
• 28:40
  something that they've been like dealing with and kind of
• 28:42
  ignoring for a bit. And it's also scary when it
• 28:44
  happens on a bottom tier team like Buffalo because then they
• 28:46
  might shut them down for the season.
• 28:48
  I mean, that's what's happening with your own OC right now on my
• 28:50
  team, you know he had a concussion.
• 28:52
  They haven't said anything for the past two weeks and they're
• 28:54
  the bottom of the standings. Have no reason to rush them
• 28:56
  back. So I would be a bit concerned if
• 28:58
  I was a perk owner. Not sure yet who's going to slot
• 29:01
  in on his. Own he was almost traded to fill
• 29:03
  those trade talks. Yeah.
• 29:04
  I don't know if that was real or not.
• 29:05
  Like, I think it was Frank Caravelli that nobody else said
• 29:08
  anything about it. So yeah, I'm not sure.
• 29:11
  But yeah, so we'll see what happens with that.
• 29:13
  Connor Ingram. Has, well, I think it was was
• 29:16
  it, I think it was Benson that took his spot on line 1.
• 29:18
  So we're worth mentioning, but I don't know how valuable that's
• 29:21
  going to be. They might swap it around, but I
• 29:24
  think whoever is on the line with Norris and Tage should have
• 29:26
  some value, especially if it's like a Bobby McMahon.
• 29:29
  If it's that type of player would be extremely valuable,
• 29:33
  yeah. No, it's been senior, right?
• 29:36
  Yeah. Maybe like Jack Quinn could go
• 29:38
  up there too. Type.
• 29:38
  Yeah, exactly. OK, Connor Ingram has taken a
• 29:43
  leave of absence to enter the player assistant program.
• 29:47
  He'll be out for the rest of the season.
• 29:48
  Carova Melka is going to start almost every game moving forward
• 29:52
  or the rest of the season, including some back to backs,
• 29:54
  and for volume pickup he's a great option.
• 29:57
  Yeah, yeah, he's going to be sick.
• 29:59
  I mean, he puts up solid numbers on a not good team and now he's
• 30:02
  going to get like every single start.
• 30:04
  Yeah, exactly. Like I think he's getting back
• 30:06
  to backs as well. Maybe if they have a 2 back to
• 30:09
  backs in the same week he won't get both of them, but I think
• 30:11
  he's going to get 99. And they still make the
• 30:13
  playoffs, technically. Yeah, they're still in it, so I
• 30:16
  like him a lot as a pickup if he's available in your league.
• 30:18
  So I think he's really I I take him over like the Elvis is the.
• 30:23
  For sure. I think it's here.
• 30:24
  Above that, the cord, yeah, I would take from.
• 30:27
  Alcover Yeah, so like you just got dropped in our.
• 30:29
  League. I know so because pretty.
• 30:31
  Awful room. Yeah, because Ingram's out.
• 30:33
  Like you think it's just like puts them ahead of that tier of
• 30:35
  guys? Because yes, exactly.
• 30:38
  Yeah, OK. That's just like.
• 30:39
  Just high volume, like he's gonna be the.
• 30:41
  Highest. Volume starter of any starter
• 30:43
  for the rest of the year. Velcro for sure.
• 30:45
  Yeah, like literally like there's not a single goal.
• 30:47
  He's gonna start more games than Velka from here on out.
• 30:50
  Maybe you can say looks are OK because in the same like type of
• 30:52
  vibe. But like what other goal other
• 30:53
  than those two are starting back to backs as well.
• 30:56
  So he's gonna get all the volume and Utah is a solid, solid.
• 30:59
  Team When Ingram was out, they were starting with his name.
• 31:02
  Stauber. Yes, Dober.
• 31:04
  Yeah, but now, like the coach has said, like he's gonna be
• 31:06
  playing, playing pretty much every game.
• 31:08
  Do you want for Melka or Mountain Borest this season?
• 31:11
  I was gonna ask that, sorry. I think I think that has
• 31:14
  something. The Habs are a better team than
• 31:17
  Utah. I think I'll take Monsanto
• 31:19
  honestly, but I couldn't fault you.
• 31:21
  Either way, I think I think the Milk is a better goalie.
• 31:23
  Only cause I think he's gonna get that volume.
• 31:25
  I'd go with the Malka here. I think like Montana was getting
• 31:28
  all the starts other than back to backs, family is getting all
• 31:30
  the stats including back-to-back.
• 31:31
  So it's. Only means quality is gonna get
• 31:33
  lower. You get tired like we've seen it
• 31:35
  too, like muscles are just. Work like maybe it's being a
• 31:37
  little bit of a Homer here, but I think the Habs are right
• 31:40
  there. And for the playoffs, Utah looks
• 31:42
  like they're right there, but I think they have zero shot of
• 31:44
  making it. So I mean, you could easily be
• 31:46
  better than Saint Louis and Vancouver.
• 31:51
  Still in it, but but I really don't think Utah has a shot.
• 31:53
  They're not gonna knock out Calgary or Minnesota.
• 31:55
  I mean Calgary's. Calgary's three points ahead of
• 31:58
  them. With two games in.
• 31:59
  Hand one game in. Hand one game in hand.
• 32:00
  Yeah. Now, like I said, mathematically
• 32:02
  they're not out of it. It's based on what I feel about
• 32:04
  the actual team. I don't think they're good
• 32:06
  enough and I think the haves are good enough, so.
• 32:08
  If we see them really fall out of the playoff phrase, then I
• 32:10
  think I changed my mind. But if there still in the race,
• 32:13
  I think I'm gonna leave Melco, OK?
• 32:15
  Speaking of the Habs, yeah, Patrick Liney is day-to-day with
• 32:19
  an illness. Joel Armia is taking his spot on
• 32:21
  power. Play one until he returns.
• 32:23
  Yikes. Yeah, feel like lining just
• 32:25
  never healthy. I mean, I feel like this is kind
• 32:28
  of like a known quantity with him and this is just this just
• 32:30
  an illness. So not a big deal, but it's kind
• 32:32
  of frustrating as a fan, you know, he like comes in, tears it
• 32:35
  up, then doesn't do that well for a bit and just leaves, you
• 32:39
  know, would be nice to find some consistency.
• 32:41
  For sure. I think next year he's gonna
• 32:44
  he's gonna be like a reliable hold.
• 32:46
  You think so? I'm feeling optimistic about it
• 32:48
  because it just seems like the city is really.
• 32:50
  Behind should be in the top 6, I think.
• 32:51
  Yeah, everybody's healthy. It's just for this year.
• 32:54
  Next year, like, yeah, if Davidoff is there too, like I
• 32:57
  feel like. Yeah, but even if healthy this
• 32:59
  year, I'm not sold on keeping him around you.
• 33:02
  Know what I mean? I'm concerned next year, like I
• 33:05
  mean it's been a couple years now of him just constantly
• 33:07
  having some sort of issue or. Other illness is an illness.
• 33:10
  Yeah, it just feels like once keeps happening, like, you know,
• 33:13
  I know illness is just like, whatever, everyone gets sick,
• 33:15
  you know, But like, I just feel like I've been seeing like a red
• 33:18
  tag next to his game more than not this year, and it's been the
• 33:20
  same for the last couple of years.
• 33:21
  Yeah, I probably wouldn't be drafting.
• 33:23
  Like Kirby dog type of. Things.
• 33:25
  Yeah, exactly. OK, last one big one.
• 33:29
  Aaron Ekblad got suspended for performance enhancing drugs.
• 33:33
  Busted. Yeah.
• 33:35
  I wasted, yeah. OK, so you got busted for PEDs
• 33:43
  and is suspended for the rest of the regular season.
• 33:46
  Seth Jones is going to take a spot on power play, one which
• 33:48
  essentially makes Jones a league winner.
• 33:50
  At this? That's crazy.
• 33:51
  It's crazy because like. You got dropped in some.
• 33:53
  Exactly. Did I dropped it?
• 33:55
  Yeah. I'm like, devastated.
• 33:57
  Which is the right move? I was so mad when like this
• 34:01
  happened like what are the chances?
• 34:04
  Of someone else pick him up, yes.
• 34:05
  Oh my God that sucks. Yeah, Fab.
• 34:07
  Or was it waiver, waiver, waiver priority?
• 34:09
  But I couldn't pick him up because he was on the waiver
• 34:11
  thing and you can't. Yeah, the one who dropped him.
• 34:13
  That's a dumb rule to. Me, it was so, so annoying.
• 34:17
  I was very, very mad about this and at this point, I mean I know
• 34:22
  they have a lot of injuries but with Jones being as good of an
• 34:25
  offensive defence as he. Is.
• 34:27
  Going to be so good for. Florida.
• 34:29
  He's playing 25 is he's getting crazy backwards.
• 34:32
  Like, he's good at shots, he's got blocks and he's like.
• 34:35
  Way better than Chicago's power. Yeah.
• 34:37
  You know, like. The only bad thing is that the
• 34:39
  two games in the playoffs, but that's pretty much it, yeah.
• 34:42
  Yeah, that's I still, I mean like I'd be so happy to have.
• 34:46
  Yeah, like if he's on your waivers, you run to pick him up.
• 34:49
  Yeah, if exactly what happened to Jake happened someone in
• 34:51
  your. Yeah.
• 34:53
  Again, I think it was the correct move to drop him at the
• 34:55
  time. Could you possibly know that
• 34:57
  would just be out for the season out of nowhere?
• 34:59
  You. Know we don't see this hockey
• 35:00
  guys getting busted RPG. So you know what it was I saw he
• 35:03
  put out a statement that it was actually something that he took
• 35:06
  to help him over from his injuries.
• 35:08
  Yeah. As opposed to.
• 35:09
  That's always how it. Happens.
• 35:10
  Yeah, exactly. Actually trying to take
• 35:11
  steroids, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 35:13
  But I don't know, I still feel bad for.
• 35:15
  The guy, yeah, but it's your. Job, you know, it's crazy.
• 35:18
  Like your trainers who you're hiring?
• 35:20
  Yeah, you know, it's crazy for PEDs.
• 35:22
  He got busted for like 20 games. Shane Pinto get some gambling
• 35:25
  and got out. For 41 games, Yeah, his account
• 35:30
  to make a bet for him and yeah, it got 40 games for.
• 35:32
  That how someone say about that like being like, yeah, you don't
• 35:34
  get between like the billionaires and their money.
• 35:35
  You know, take care a lot more about that than about some guy,
• 35:38
  Jason. Pretty much how it goes to be
• 35:40
  honest. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 35:41
  You wanna hear? The worst part about this
• 35:42
  situation for me is that I had both Eckblad and.
• 35:45
  Jones, Mike. Why I dropped Jones was like,
• 35:49
  well, I'm going to cut the power play too, so.
• 35:53
  Annoying the worst case scenario.
• 35:55
  It was. All that is incredibly.
• 35:57
  Beautiful couldn't believe it. I I feel like I just.
• 36:00
  Yeah, anyway, I was very, very mad and still am so.
• 36:03
  At least you won't get suspended for making a bet on Jones having
• 36:07
  success. Yeah, it's not ideal.
• 36:10
  Let's move on to with the would you rathers, Kevin.
• 36:14
  Would you rather? Baby.
• 36:17
  Back baby, if you guys have seen these yet or not, but I tried to
• 36:20
  I tried to choose some injuries slash trade slash waiver
• 36:24
  relevant guys now for you know, looking at these playoff weeks
• 36:27
  coming up right now and the first is a question that I want
• 36:31
  help with. Who would you rather rest of the
• 36:35
  season, Oliver Bjorkstrand or Troy Terry?
• 36:39
  That's a tough one. I mean, you're obviously asking
• 36:41
  this because pure strength recently been bumped up to power
• 36:43
  play one. Yeah.
• 36:44
  And I think that that's a huge question mark, right.
• 36:47
  We actually haven't seen him. I think it was a couple shifts
• 36:50
  at the end of the game. So we haven't actually seen full
• 36:52
  or not even one game. Yeah, this thing.
• 36:54
  So we haven't seen exactly performed and we don't know if
• 36:56
  it sticks or as criteria lock on line one power play one on
• 36:58
  Anaheim. Terry's definitely.
• 37:00
  I don't think there's any question that Terry gets more
• 37:02
  points to us this season. But his back outs are awful.
• 37:05
  Like the one thing Terry had going for him earlier in the
• 37:07
  season was that he was shooting. Now he's not even shooting.
• 37:09
  He really is just a zeros other than his points.
• 37:11
  The all good joy that we know and love.
• 37:13
  Exactly, you know York trans like 1.5 shots, 1.5 hits like
• 37:17
  almost a double double. Nothing that special honestly,
• 37:19
  but still, at least he does something when he's not getting
• 37:21
  points. I think I'm still gonna go with
• 37:24
  Terry just because I think the burns really not going to get
• 37:28
  many points. But obviously it hinges on if
• 37:30
  you think he has success on that power play one unit.
• 37:33
  I think so. I picked up your strength and
• 37:38
  missed out on all these points and the game that he was on.
• 37:40
  My Ross was for the Carolina game.
• 37:42
  You got straight zeros basically.
• 37:43
  So I was thrilled about that. I think he can be a two shots
• 37:46
  per game guy and then like a .6 points per game .7 maybe is just
• 37:52
  depends on the deployment. Like we've seen them line one at
• 37:55
  times. You got a couple shifts there,
• 37:57
  but mostly Line 3. So I just don't know where it's
• 38:01
  going to settle. I think his ceiling is higher
• 38:03
  than Troy Terry. Ceiling is definitely higher,
• 38:05
  yeah, for sure. It's just tough because like I
• 38:07
  don't think you could bank on him having a consistent good
• 38:10
  deployment. I think he'll get the deployment
• 38:12
  here and there, but like even within let's say next week,
• 38:15
  right next week to Tampa place four times but.
• 38:20
  Would rather have for that week of playoffs.
• 38:22
  Like I would take version because the extra game, yeah,
• 38:24
  but like I wouldn't be surprised if version starts off like line
• 38:27
  one power play one and then by the next game he's line 3 power
• 38:30
  play 2 just doesn't make it back, you know, whereas Terry
• 38:32
  you're gonna get that line on powerful no.
• 38:33
  Matter how good is the power play and how much that's it like
• 38:36
  to. Right, the upside is there for
• 38:37
  Bjorkstrand that makes taking a chance on him more worth it at
• 38:40
  this point in the season. I think Terry gets more points
• 38:43
  for you though. I'm going to go with Bjorkstrand
• 38:47
  and that's because I think the way the Tampa set up is to
• 38:52
  really get the best out of their offensive players and it may
• 38:55
  take a few games. So it's going to be like Rocky
• 38:58
  for the next week, but I don't see why he can't take over Nick
• 39:01
  Paul on line 2, at which point if he's.
• 39:03
  Playing, he was there for a little bit like they, they
• 39:05
  really mixed them up like he was line one, line 2, line 3, like.
• 39:08
  Yeah, two games, but I mean for like consistently to be that
• 39:11
  line too, you know, first of all, I feel like Nick Paul is a
• 39:13
  better depth player. He's bigger, stronger guy.
• 39:16
  And then Bjorkstrand could. Either faster.
• 39:18
  Stronger. He could add a lot to that line
• 39:21
  too. So will the power play one be a
• 39:24
  thing for Bjorkstrand Russell season?
• 39:25
  I'm not sure. And I know that's obviously a
• 39:28
  huge factor here, but I think Berkshire's the exact type of
• 39:31
  guy that goes. To a John, he's a shooter.
• 39:33
  And ends up thriving. Yeah, I guess I'll see.
• 39:35
  Like in terms of the way I see it, Terry has the safer floor,
• 39:39
  has the higher ceiling and at this point.
• 39:42
  But the floor is probably slightly more points.
• 39:44
  Yeah, that's it. This point in the season, like
• 39:47
  where each week counts like I guess I would take over Terry
• 39:50
  and like if it was like mid season, even with this whole
• 39:53
  trade and everything and you're telling me who's doing better
• 39:56
  for the next two months, I would easily say Terry, but for the
• 39:59
  next week or two weeks, I think Burks trying is a is a better
• 40:02
  shot. Yeah.
• 40:03
  And I guess just the nature of this is like you want guys with
• 40:05
  higher ceilings because? At this point, that's how you
• 40:07
  win the league. Yeah.
• 40:08
  And it's like the playoffs, that's what matters.
• 40:10
  Some people, you know, you could win during the regular season
• 40:12
  and that's worth something. But at this point, just the way
• 40:15
  that is going to work. And last year, by the way, they
• 40:18
  were pretty much equivalent across the board. 01 Bjorkstrand
• 40:24
  had .72 points, Terry had .71, so pretty early and then shots
• 40:29
  was 2.27 to 2.26. So this is like the exact same
• 40:32
  guy. That's why I kind of put them.
• 40:35
  Against each other like the same picture.
• 40:38
  Yeah, kind of difference. It's just solitary in a trench
• 40:40
  coat. Exactly.
• 40:41
  I just think that like, OK, obviously not as good.
• 40:43
  As broad, tangled Anaheim, I like yeah, the playoff schedule
• 40:47
  better, slightly. Yeah.
• 40:48
  But Brandon Hagel was like nothing before you came to
• 40:51
  Tampa. Yeah, he had like a decent year
• 40:53
  in Chicago, and look at what happened.
• 40:55
  So John Cooper just does that. And I think.
• 40:57
  That's playing with you travel due to.
• 40:59
  A guy, exactly. Yeah.
• 41:00
  Yeah. So I'm on Bjorkstrand.
• 41:02
  Josh Bjorkstrand. I mean, I I picked them up so I
• 41:07
  believe. Yeah, the option 1st and he
• 41:08
  chose Bjorkstrand. And it's been 4-5 dollars.
• 41:11
  I mean to be fair, actually I also had the option of both and
• 41:13
  I chose Bjorkstrand just outbid me for him so.
• 41:16
  We were going to the bid on him. Yeah, I'm surprised about that,
• 41:18
  to be honest, because when we picked him up, he had just had
• 41:21
  like a good run. Yeah, couple times, so.
• 41:24
  Anyways, alright, next one. This is fun.
• 41:27
  Luke Hughes on the Dougie Hamilton list, New Jersey Devils
• 41:31
  fighting for a playoff spot or Jackson Lacombe star forward
• 41:34
  turned defenseman. Wait, is this the Jackson line
• 41:38
  that used to be a? Forward.
• 41:39
  Yeah, yeah. Just before diving into this, is
• 41:42
  Darren Radish actually a forward now?
• 41:45
  No, he's on line 4 here. I see.
• 41:48
  I think it was just cause. Maybe they were going. 11 Yeah,
• 41:51
  exactly. OK, cool.
• 41:52
  OK fine. Usually it goes the other way
• 41:54
  anyways, like the Jackson Lacombe yeah 4 becoming D but oh
• 41:59
  this is so tough. I think I'm gonna go with the
• 42:02
  Lacombe on this one, Sam. I think shocked.
• 42:05
  I think he's probably gets a couple more points in Lacombe.
• 42:09
  I don't. Think more than a couple on the
• 42:11
  power play. I don't think it's gonna be that
• 42:13
  big of a difference. I think both are solid pickups
• 42:15
  with what's going on with their teams.
• 42:17
  Well, I mean like comes just breaking out and Hughes has the
• 42:19
  advantage of Hamilton being injured, but Hughes gets like no
• 42:23
  back cats, like home gets like slightly more back hats.
• 42:25
  It's really just the hits difference I think is the
• 42:27
  biggest. Thing, I mean, you get almost
• 42:28
  hit a game with Lacombe for sure, Yeah, but I think Hughes
• 42:32
  gets more shots and significantly more power play
• 42:34
  points. I don't think he gets more
• 42:36
  shots. I think they get the same amount
• 42:37
  of shots. I think they get same shots,
• 42:39
  same blocks. Look who's gonna get more hits.
• 42:42
  Hughes will get more power play points.
• 42:44
  I think, I think points gets more, more shots for sure.
• 42:47
  I think he hovers around to Lecom, doesn't really get there.
• 42:50
  I don't see it. I don't think he has ever shown
• 42:52
  that he puts up any back cats but.
• 42:54
  I mean, just shots, right? He's gonna get 0.
• 42:56
  Hits, he doesn't shoot. That's not his role on the even
• 42:58
  on the power play, his role as he passes it.
• 43:00
  Like I know. He's not a shooter.
• 43:02
  But anyways, I'm going home because I think that I just like
• 43:06
  his back hats floor and I don't think he's going to get that
• 43:09
  many more points to make it worth it.
• 43:11
  But I like both his pickups. Hughes is how does opportunity.
• 43:14
  Play one point per game. Yeah.
• 43:16
  Both of them have, but he's had this opportunity before Hughes
• 43:20
  and he hasn't come through and been able to hold it.
• 43:22
  Yes, doggies come back, but even when Dougie was back, what it
• 43:25
  was it last year they tried to use?
• 43:27
  The entire season last year. But he's also a young player
• 43:31
  that developed for Dynasty. I'm taking here no question for
• 43:35
  this rest of season. I just feel like Tacoma is kind
• 43:38
  of earned his spot there. It's also been inconsistent for
• 43:40
  him. He's a young player who just
• 43:42
  started playing defenseman, which is great.
• 43:44
  I. Think is that like I'm used to
• 43:45
  be a forward in case you didn't. Yeah, but I'd rather have the
• 43:52
  home. I just feel like he's deserved
• 43:54
  it more for this year. I think the power player and the
• 43:58
  the points are going to be a bigger discrepancy than you guys
• 44:00
  think, Yeah, remaining of the season.
• 44:02
  So I think New Jersey is doing everything they can to fight for
• 44:05
  a playoff spot and I think the power play is actually clicking
• 44:08
  right now. So that's where I'm putting my
• 44:11
  money. I'm putting on the team that you
• 44:12
  know is in the playoff hunt and is on a power play that scoring
• 44:17
  a lot of points. Fair enough.
• 44:19
  So you're going to use. Yeah, I'm going to use, OK.
• 44:22
  Let's go to the next one. Yep, all right.
• 44:25
  Next one is my boy. Let me put it this way.
• 44:35
  It is star centre for the Ottawa Senators, Dylan Cousins or Nazem
• 44:40
  Kadri. Rest of season.
• 44:43
  Jake is awkward lab. I'm laughing.
• 44:45
  Because of like they are amazing and true.
• 44:47
  You gave her cousins like and contrary.
• 44:51
  I mean, Cadre is a great playoff schedule.
• 44:53
  So does Ottawa. Yeah.
• 44:54
  Dylan Cousins, small sample size from what we're seeing with
• 44:58
  Cousins on Ottawa, but how would you guys compare them?
• 45:03
  I'm gonna go with Cousins, especially in a bangers league
• 45:06
  and I think his points are really nice too with great
• 45:10
  upside. Kaji's been sick though.
• 45:12
  Yeah like you had a somewhat slow start to the season but
• 45:15
  he's been reliable for months now and been awesome.
• 45:18
  I just, I feel like what Cousins can do with like the hits, face
• 45:22
  off shot combo and you know, the upside for points there.
• 45:26
  I think you can get within like .1 points to Kadri and still
• 45:31
  with the remaining rural categories that prefer to have
• 45:33
  cousins. I think for me, the one thing
• 45:36
  that the main thing that Kaji has over Cousins is the shots.
• 45:40
  I think Kaji is going to get like a full shot more than
• 45:42
  Cousins, yeah, at least. But it's tough.
• 45:45
  Like you look at a guy put up the hitting numbers that Cousins
• 45:48
  has put up the last two weeks, last three weeks, and that's
• 45:51
  like someone you can't find. That sure would, but with
• 45:55
  offensive? Capabilities exactly like this,
• 45:57
  like the type exactly player you want on your team.
• 45:59
  He's also getting penalty minutes.
• 46:01
  He's also like shooting. Obviously it's not as good as
• 46:03
  shots perjury, but still 2.6 in the last month is not bad.
• 46:06
  Who's winning face offs? I know just seems like a very
• 46:08
  complete player. I'm I think he's gonna get more
• 46:10
  points. And my shots disagree.
• 46:12
  But I think, I think cousins I would take.
• 46:14
  Cousins shot some with you by. The way yeah shots I lean called
• 46:18
  you for shuttle. I don't think it might be a full
• 46:19
  shot extra like I think you might hover around 3 and Cousins
• 46:22
  around 2.5. But I think I mean Calgary,
• 46:26
  Calgary is one of the worst teams in the league in terms of
• 46:28
  points. Like they don't put points
• 46:30
  Vancouver and Calgary the two worst teams that are points
• 46:33
  scored. So I think Ottawa is a high
• 46:35
  flying team, doesn't score a lot.
• 46:37
  I just like Cousins being involved in more more points
• 46:40
  there, especially the morning. Doesn't like this team guy in
• 46:43
  Ottawa. Who is the guy in Calgary?
• 46:45
  Exactly. That's the that's the main
• 46:47
  difference. But I think all that being said,
• 46:49
  I think the ceiling is higher in Ottawa and the hit discrepancy
• 46:52
  is just too huge to ignore. That's it.
• 46:54
  I mean, I'm still taking Cousins.
• 46:55
  I do think Kadri gets more points and more shots, but.
• 46:57
  I wouldn't be surprised if Cousins got more points.
• 47:00
  It's possible. Yeah.
• 47:01
  Yeah. We're gonna be shocked if Kadri
• 47:03
  got more hits. Yeah, that's.
• 47:05
  Not yeah. Yeah, OK, cool.
• 47:07
  I'll in agreement with Cousins there.
• 47:09
  Alright, next one goalie time. I you think you gonna hate this
• 47:13
  one, but it's Charlie Lindgren or Corel Vermelha.
• 47:16
  For me it's easy. I'm easily going Velka.
• 47:19
  I don't. Think it's good, but hear me
• 47:20
  out. And this is, you know, you're
• 47:22
  going into your playoff matchups.
• 47:23
  Yeah, Washington is a great team.
• 47:26
  You know, you can rely on lingering to get a quality
• 47:28
  start. You just don't have the quantity
• 47:30
  with him. Right now about this, like I get
• 47:32
  where you're going with this. If it's one of the weeks where
• 47:34
  Lingren gets two starts, I'll take Lingren.
• 47:36
  If it's a week when gets one start, I'll take America.
• 47:39
  OK. Because they alternate him and
• 47:41
  Thompson. Yeah, exactly for us.
• 47:43
  So you know, if it's a 2 game week, then you'll know ahead of
• 47:45
  time, yeah. But who would you prefer to have
• 47:48
  in a in a playoff matchup, right?
• 47:49
  That's the the question I'm asking here because I think both
• 47:51
  guys are probably available in most.
• 47:53
  I take two games of lingren over three games of America, but I'm
• 47:56
  taking like 3 or 4 games of milk over one game of lingren.
• 47:58
  Would you take four games of a milk over two games of Lingren?
• 48:02
  Yeah, I think, I mean, obviously it depends on your category,
• 48:04
  right and your settings. But.
• 48:06
  If you're if you're saves probably definitely take.
• 48:09
  We've got we've got saves and wins and then as quantity and
• 48:13
  then we've got goals against average and safe percentage.
• 48:15
  So it's really half our quantity and half our quality.
• 48:18
  So I think taking the guaranteed quantity with Jamaica with the
• 48:21
  upside of it's not like, you know, on a better, way better
• 48:23
  team, but he still had some stinkers of games.
• 48:25
  You know, he can let in like three goals and like 17 shots,
• 48:29
  but they still get the win, you know, so like.
• 48:31
  Most leagues have save percentage goals against average
• 48:34
  wins. Yeah, those are the three
• 48:35
  categories. So I feel like you got an edge
• 48:39
  on the better team. Because like you said, if
• 48:42
  they're saves involved, then I'm taking the Melka.
• 48:44
  If there's not saves, then I'll take.
• 48:45
  Lingren, They could both end the game, end the week with one win
• 48:48
  each and vernacular four games and yeah, Linger played one, you
• 48:51
  know. So is it more valuable to hold
• 48:54
  Lingren than stream of goalie if you need extra start?
• 48:56
  I also think Milk. I also think Milk is a better
• 48:58
  goalie than Lingren. I think like even though he's on
• 49:01
  a way worse team watching could see.
• 49:02
  Him the best team in the league. Sure, but I think even though
• 49:04
  he's on the worst team I could still see him putting up better
• 49:06
  like rate stats as well. I wouldn't be shocked either.
• 49:09
  That's why I think it's a conversation.
• 49:10
  But Jake, what do you think? Yeah, I'm going for Malco
• 49:13
  because of the atrocity that Lingering has done to Thompson
• 49:16
  stats this year. It's like ridiculous.
• 49:19
  And also, I mean, if you're comparing them on the season,
• 49:23
  like the Milka has better percentages, he's got a better
• 49:27
  save percentage and a better goals against average.
• 49:30
  And that's crazy considering how good Washington is.
• 49:32
  Yeah. And I.
• 49:34
  Think it's just one wingman has a stinker.
• 49:35
  He has a stinker, yeah. Yeah, and it's good for nobody,
• 49:38
  like especially me. Yeah, as a Thompson owner like
• 49:43
  you, she's actually Public Enemy number one.
• 49:45
  But truthfully, separating emotions from this, I really
• 49:50
  think that, you know, with Ingram out now, the Melka is a
• 49:54
  unique guy to have. And you know, like, let's say
• 49:58
  the four versus 2 that you were mentioning, Kevin, right, Even
• 50:02
  in those four, like Lingren can still end up with worse
• 50:07
  percentages. Yeah.
• 50:08
  Like in two games, Linger could end up with worse percentages
• 50:11
  than Valgus 4, at which point. If you're giving me two quality
• 50:14
  stars over 4 quantity stars, I'm taking two quality stars.
• 50:17
  But those are not necessarily guaranteed though.
• 50:20
  He's gonna be like, he's probably the best goalie tandem
• 50:23
  on a good team that you can pick up off waivers.
• 50:25
  Right. Yeah.
• 50:26
  The one crazy scenario in which maybe, maybe I would take
• 50:30
  Lingren is if you don't have wins and you only have losses as
• 50:33
  a category that that doesn't exist.
• 50:36
  If you have losses as a category, it's a bit of a
• 50:38
  different story, I guess then maybe just because the Malcolm
• 50:42
  may lose more in those four games.
• 50:44
  But otherwise, I, I think to me, the milk is a no brainer.
• 50:47
  Yeah. Like in 90% of leagues, Valka is
• 50:50
  the safer choice, the better choice for volume and probably
• 50:53
  for percentages too. So we're all on Team America as
• 50:56
  well. Can I just ask you one question
• 50:59
  for Malka or Bennington? The Milko.
• 51:03
  I mean, it's tough because I had Bennington and he was awful and
• 51:06
  then I dropped him and then someone picked him up and played
• 51:09
  against me and he had the best stretch.
• 51:11
  Of three weeks that I've ever seen.
• 51:12
  That's all goes. So, yeah, so I haven't followed
• 51:15
  along since that. I played him against him two
• 51:17
  weeks ago so I don't know if he's still putting up godly
• 51:19
  numbers, but I. Think the same tier on the same
• 51:21
  tier of team, you know, back in the standings.
• 51:24
  I just think is gonna get more starts and I think goalie wise,
• 51:28
  talent wise, I think they're probably around the same
• 51:29
  anyways. So the more starts.
• 51:32
  Yeah, because it's like a lot more digestible to say
• 51:34
  Huntington over Lingren. No question.
• 51:36
  You know what I mean? Because of the reputation in.
• 51:38
  This game. And then like considering that
• 51:41
  and we're the Malka, Bennington's a bit debated.
• 51:43
  That's why just to Miva Malka for sure.
• 51:45
  I mean, let's, I think this is probably useful for listeners,
• 51:49
  but where do you draw the line with Melkor?
• 51:50
  Melkor. Elvis.
• 51:52
  OK, Spencer night for sure. We did that one before.
• 51:59
  Oh, that's, that's a good line then.
• 52:01
  But Malcolm? Lincoln.
• 52:01
  Is the malka. OK.
• 52:04
  Close though. close. Actually.
• 52:06
  Wait. Let me think about.
• 52:06
  That I don't know. About this Stuart Skinner.
• 52:09
  I'll take Skinner. I would take Skinner as well.
• 52:12
  Gustafson. For sure.
• 52:13
  Yeah. OK, So we're past the line but
• 52:15
  linking it linking into the. Line.
• 52:17
  Yeah, What about Kochetkov? Chekov for sure.
• 52:21
  Which causes just lingering but a better goalie.
• 52:24
  Yeah. Yeah, I'm taking, I'm taking.
• 52:28
  The why you? Know I'm taking Logan Thompson
• 52:30
  over Mecca for sure, same with Kochetkov.
• 52:32
  Yeah, yeah, but they're all starting the same amount of
• 52:34
  game. So like, yeah, but.
• 52:35
  The percentages. Are more like odds to have a
• 52:39
  worse yeah. Because it sucks and they ruined
• 52:41
  my life. Actually seems like dude but
• 52:45
  still swimming or. Not as close, but I would
• 52:49
  probably take swimming too. Just shut out Tampa.
• 52:52
  Aiden Hill. Yeah, Aiden Hill for sure.
• 52:55
  OK, So we're really at the LinkedIn and Montalbo.
• 52:58
  Territory. I think that's the area.
• 53:01
  Bennington too, in that kind of league over there.
• 53:03
  So I'd say he's just a notch above lingering because Linga
• 53:06
  tandem, but Joseph Wall good. Yeah, Yeah.
• 53:10
  OK. Anyway, tough, but the Melco
• 53:14
  versus England, I think. Valco Markstrom.
• 53:17
  Now Markstrom? Sure.
• 53:18
  Yeah, even though you don't believe in the devils.
• 53:20
  Yeah, I believe. I don't believe in the Devils,
• 53:22
  but Saros and Utah. Josh's face right now, you guys
• 53:26
  could see. It you know what, honestly?
• 53:29
  Honestly, I take the milka. This predators aren't garbage.
• 53:32
  Yeah. Should we move on to the law?
• 53:34
  Should move on. The last one or the last one?
• 53:36
  Honestly, I feel like it's kind of boring one but Mason Lori or
• 53:40
  Phillip Ronick. But I'm kidding.
• 53:45
  At the time I wrote this, Queen Hughes was not currently back
• 53:48
  where I think he's returning tonight as we speak.
• 53:50
  But I think Veronica is still like worth you know, talking
• 53:52
  about as I gotta is good for Banners League.
• 53:54
  But second he was comes back from his drop, I have no
• 53:57
  interest. Yeah, Lori, I'm much more
• 53:59
  interested in because Mcavoy's. We don't know what's going on
• 54:02
  with him. Yeah.
• 54:03
  I think I view them both as like the second the guy that
• 54:05
  replacing comes back there drops and I think he was comes back
• 54:08
  away sooner than McAvoy. So I'm going with Laura easily.
• 54:11
  Yeah, same here. What about Lori?
• 54:12
  Or like Brady Shea. I don't think she's Hostel
• 54:16
  Lauro. Yeah.
• 54:17
  OK, what about like a Cam Fowler?
• 54:20
  Alright, alright. OK, I mean, I'm trying to find
• 54:24
  somebody else but. Look.
• 54:26
  Lori or Oh, you picked 2 defensemen?
• 54:28
  This Yeah. Lori or.
• 54:32
  Look, Hughes. Look, Hughes.
• 54:34
  Luke Hughes. Yeah, OK, cool.
• 54:37
  Alright, cool. Yeah, you're right.
• 54:40
  Or Neal Pionk. Pionk.
• 54:42
  He's apparently the best defenseman of all time.
• 54:45
  Brock Faber. I'll take a lower eye over
• 54:47
  favor. Oh, there we go.
• 54:48
  Now we're talking. Yeah, that's a good, that's a
• 54:50
  good one, really. Good one over Jake Waltman for
• 54:52
  sure. Yeah.
• 54:53
  What about over Thomas Shabbat? Yeah, take Laura.
• 54:57
  Crystal Tang. I don't know.
• 54:59
  I don't know what their deployment is right now.
• 55:01
  Anyway, switching. Power play 1 so I probably
• 55:04
  still. Take this discussion.
