• 0:03
  podcast. Woo woo.
• 0:06
  No woo for Josh to day very sad, but the two best Bangor
• 0:13
  management hosts. It's funny that you said because
• 0:16
  I was thinking the exact same thing.
• 0:18
  What are the odds? At least the two best ones are
• 0:21
  still here. That's it, that's it.
• 0:24
  Josh wishes he could be here today, but he is unfortunately
• 0:30
  heartsick from the lack of exciting trades this week.
• 0:33
  He was, I know this man probably like ruined the muscles in his
• 0:38
  finger clicking refreshed whole day on Friday and now he's sick.
• 0:42
  So what are the coincidences? I don't know.
• 0:45
  That's it. That's it.
• 0:47
  OK. Speaking of trades, today is our
• 0:50
  Week 20 News and Updates episode.
• 0:52
  Of course, we got our famous Would You rathers in there as
• 0:54
  well. We're going to focus a lot on
• 0:57
  the trays from the past week. Some are decently fantasy
• 1:00
  relevant. A lot of them are not to be
• 1:02
  expected, but we'll give those an honorary mention anyways.
• 1:06
  It was it was it was crazy because I mean, I was at work
• 1:09
  and I had so many meetings during the day and I remember
• 1:11
  being in a Discord like me. I remember Shepard commander was
• 1:14
  like sending all the links, everything, every time stuff was
• 1:16
  happening and we didn't get so many blockbuster trades like no,
• 1:20
  no troll track move, no Robert Thomas moving the end.
• 1:24
  We thought that was like a certainty at some point.
• 1:27
  So I was kind of disappointed overall, but I still think we
• 1:30
  got some we got some surprises. We'll talk about them, but well,
• 1:33
  how would how would you rate this trade deadline?
• 1:37
  Um, so for, I mean, there have been some great trades this
• 1:42
  year, but the deadline day slash, I think it's a deadline
• 1:45
  week at this point. Realistically, it was pretty
• 1:47
  underwhelming. Although I feel like in recent
• 1:49
  years it's sort of been the same thing.
• 1:50
  A lot of big moves throughout the year and then at the
• 1:55
  deadline it's just kind of like OK, I would say this is like a
• 2:00
  like A7 on ten. It wasn't bad.
• 2:02
  Like we definitely have some some names questionable
• 2:05
  destinations as well, but. I was gonna give a six or a 6
• 2:09
  1/2. Fair enough.
• 2:11
  We we did get some surprises like the, I mean, we got Kadri
• 2:15
  after the deadline. That was a surprise.
• 2:17
  Like deadline was over. And then 15 minutes later they
• 2:20
  were like, oh, yeah, by the way, this happened.
• 2:22
  Yeah, I know in the middle of the night that John Carlson,
• 2:24
  we'll talk about that too. But no check kind of
• 2:27
  disappointed me, although I will say.
• 2:28
  And then we can get into everything for all your children
• 2:32
  owners out there. I know you guys were
• 2:33
  sympathizing with me, the discord, but this was probably
• 2:35
  the best case scenario for him. Like doesn't move away from the
• 2:39
  Rangers, keeps the Rangers playoff schedule.
• 2:41
  He's now arguably the one see on the team.
• 2:46
  I mean, I think they're just gonna run the main line through
• 2:48
  check. That's what I'm saying.
• 2:49
  But line one, power play 1. I think honestly this was like a
• 2:55
  trade in itself, the fact that he didn't get moved so pretty
• 2:58
  happy. Yes, yes, OK, before we dive in,
• 3:01
  follow us on Spotify, Apple podcast, wherever you get your
• 3:04

• 3:21
  find out why. Yeah, subscribe on YouTube this
• 3:26
  video a like if you enjoyed all the socials are in the podcast
• 3:28
  subscription and be sure to join the discord community.
• 3:32
  I know we kind of give this intro listing the socials and
• 3:36
  the discord and everything before and I will say 11 great
• 3:40
  thing I'm realizing is now that we're really down to the wire in
• 3:42
  our fantasy season and it's not looking super great for me, even
• 3:46
  though I our standings are neck and neck.
• 3:48
  It's super tight all around. But I will say the fact that we
• 3:52
  have such a great community of followers and listeners and
• 3:55
  people who we interact with on the Discord, it's really made
• 3:59
  the whole, I don't know if I'm gonna make the playoff situation
• 4:03
  a lot better. And I think I will because, and
• 4:07
  it's just like you will tremendously tight.
• 4:10
  That's it. We're all gonna make it.
• 4:11
  But it's like from the top team to the 8th place team in the
• 4:15
  playoffs, this is the tightest it's ever been in our league
• 4:17
  because it got super competitive so.
• 4:19
  Our week, week 20, is the last fantasy week for us before the
• 4:23
  playoffs start. So Week 21 is the first round of
• 4:26
  the playoffs. And currently there's only one
• 4:28
  team that's secured a playoff spot.
• 4:31
  Like our league of record is 14 teams, 8 of them make the
• 4:34
  playoffs. And I think there's like 10
• 4:37
  teams right now that are actually in the mix that could
• 4:39
  all make the playoffs. And then I wouldn't be shocked
• 4:41
  if any of them win the title this year, which is nuts because
• 4:43
  usually it's just like me, Jake and Josh were like, you know,
• 4:47
  three of the top four teams and then the final is one of the two
• 4:50
  of us or two out of the three of us usually.
• 4:54
  So the fact that this year is like so much more competitive, I
• 4:57
  don't know, maybe people are listening to anger management.
• 4:59
  That's. It that's it.
• 5:01
  We've gotten a more competitive league, which is what we wanted
• 5:04
  all along. But it's like that Warrior mean
• 5:06
  I've won, but at what? Cost.
• 5:07
  Yeah, literally, that's. It, that's it.
• 5:10
  I'm just still sad about that Celebrity Holloway trade.
• 5:12
  But not to dive too much into. That let's not bring it up.
• 5:15
  I'm gonna rent. Yeah, seriously, let's dive into
• 5:20
  the content. So we're gonna list, as
• 5:22
  mentioned, the top trades and then we're going to mention, you
• 5:25
  know, all the all the relevant ones, dive into them.
• 5:28
  Yeah, exactly. And maybe a few tidbits here and
• 5:30
  there for them. So let's start with the big
• 5:33
  ones. We have Nazem Cadre traded to
• 5:37
  Colorado from Calgary, the full trade here.
• 5:40
  I guess I'll list the full trade for the top ones.
• 5:43
  Colorado gets Nazem Kadri in a fourth round pick.
• 5:45
  Calgary gets a first second Victor Olson and Max Curran.
• 5:51
  My instant reaction to this was this was it felt inevitable when
• 5:57
  they made the Brett collect trade earlier this, you know,
• 5:59
  few weeks ago or week at this point.
• 6:01
  I'm so bad with time, um, like the, the money added up just
• 6:05
  enough for them to get Kadri and we thought it was going to
• 6:09
  happen even though we were like, OK, I don't know what they're
• 6:12
  going to give up and where he's going to slot in the lineup
• 6:14
  necessarily because machines line 1, Brock Nelson's line 2.
• 6:17
  Those are two great centres. Are they really true Page to put
• 6:21
  on line 3 or is Brock Nelson going to get bumped to line 3?
• 6:25
  And I think, I mean, Jake and I were talking about this.
• 6:29
  I think probably Cadre's going to play on the wing and it's
• 6:33
  gonna be like a line 2 winger situation.
• 6:36
  They'll have to jumble up the lines a little bit.
• 6:39
  Victor Allison going the other way to Calgary.
• 6:43
  I think he could have some fantasy relevance, but I see him
• 6:47
  kind of just like a matte Coronado esque a little bit,
• 6:49
  maybe slightly worse, just like lower shot volume.
• 6:52
  I don't know what his deployments going to be, but I
• 6:54
  don't think it's going to be super fancy relevant unless
• 6:56
  you're in a really deep deeply, but Kadri.
• 6:58
  Even then, I don't know if he thought on a power play 1, even
• 7:02
  though it's the worst power play in the league.
• 7:04
  I don't know how much you know value to attribute there, but
• 7:07
  people are like, oh, this card you must pick up, must pick up.
• 7:09
  I'm like, I would brisk walk to pick up Audrey on the waivers.
• 7:13
  I feel like I'm not the I'm not dropping a big boy name to the
• 7:16
  potential of Nazem Kadri in Colorado because I just don't
• 7:19
  think there's enough room for him there to have sustained
• 7:23
  level of production. Like we were worried about
• 7:25
  Landeskog not having to deployment all the time.
• 7:27
  But what he has is it's great, right?
• 7:29
  I don't see cache being better than line 2 power play 1.
• 7:32
  And I don't know if that's enough to like have him be at a
• 7:35
  certain level of value. Yeah, if he does actually have
• 7:39
  that, I mean, it's pretty good, but at the same time.
• 7:42
  Easily be linked to Power Play 2, and I think if that's the
• 7:45
  case I'm probably not interested.
• 7:47
  He could, I mean, so so this is one of those that it's a it's a
• 7:52
  weird one because he won the Stanley Cup with them as they're
• 7:55
  lying to centre. But because Nelson's just been
• 7:57
  so good all season, I think they're they're no, there's no
• 8:01
  way that Kaja is going to take the line to see.
• 8:03
  I'd be very surprised. The other thing that they may do
• 8:09
  is they may just kind of spread the wealth a little bit more and
• 8:13
  make a quote UN quote loaded line 3, meaning they keep line 2
• 8:16
  as Colton Nelson chicken and then when likening comes back,
• 8:19
  they'll have Nick Wah, Kadri and Lehkonen.
• 8:24
  But are you would be like line in the league?
• 8:26
  Yeah, it would be amazing. I mean, they're centre depth is
• 8:28
  ridiculous right now. That's the truth.
• 8:30
  But you're right, I don't think, I don't think it makes sense to
• 8:33
  have traded what they did for Nikola in order to put them as
• 8:37
  line for centre. And at that point I think that
• 8:41
  it's likely that Kadri will end up or second line.
• 8:46
  Now he could get 1st instead of Landeskog.
• 8:48
  That's not impossible. It's been stable and that would
• 8:50
  be pretty cool. Yeah, like the power play is
• 8:53
  because they're power play is still not surprisingly that
• 8:57
  good. You would think that it would be
• 8:59
  huge to have them on power play one, which I agree it's a
• 9:01
  question mark. But if he gets line one, that's
• 9:04
  where the where I'm most excited over all the way.
• 9:06
  I agree it's not crazy and I don't think it's impossible for
• 9:08
  him to play on the wing. Best case scenario, like you
• 9:10
  said, is he bumps Landeskog offline one power play one on
• 9:14
  power play one. It's it's McKinnon, it's
• 9:15
  McCarthy nature. That's the trio.
• 9:17
  Brock Nelson has been like one of the only other rotating parts
• 9:21
  there that has actually stuck around because he's been
• 9:22
  actually pretty good. That's four names.
• 9:24
  The first one is Landeskog. You know, it was Landeskog,
• 9:27
  Trushkin, Lickin that was kind of like the rotation there, but
• 9:29
  Landeskog got stuck. If code is replacing Lansing on
• 9:31
  line one power play one, I'm interested.
• 9:34
  I just don't think that's going to happen.
• 9:35
  And if it does happen, I think it's a small likelihood because
• 9:38
  one of the talk has actually been finding his groove and he's
• 9:40
  been successful there. So I just don't think going to
• 9:42
  mix things up too much. So yeah, but if you have Large
• 9:45
  on your team, I think I'd be excited just at the potential
• 9:48
  because he was not really doing much on Calgary before.
• 9:51
  Yeah, I'd say, I'd say my prediction line 2, Power play 2.
• 9:54
  That's that's my prediction as well.
• 9:57
  Yeah, alright, cool. Let's move on to the next one.
• 10:00
  The Anaheim Ducks acquired John Carlson in exchange for a first
• 10:04
  round pick and a third round pick.
• 10:06
  I like this one. Actually, I think that this is
• 10:08
  pretty interesting one. This might be the best fantasy
• 10:12
  trade that happened because first of all, I don't think
• 10:17
  anybody was on this. There was no rumors of John
• 10:19
  Carlson getting traded. We also did it in no like where
• 10:23
  he could be treated if he was and this broke.
• 10:26
  I think I like 11:00 PM at night or close to midnight.
• 10:28
  Eastern Time caught everybody by surprise.
• 10:33
  The I mean, the main question here is who do you think keeps
• 10:36
  power play 1 Is it John Carlson? Is it Jackson Lacombe?
• 10:39
  I know last last night they played and it was the first game
• 10:43
  Anaheim played. It was trade deadline day, and I
• 10:47
  mean, Jackson Lacombe had a great game.
• 10:49
  I don't know if you saw his game log, but he had like 2 points.
• 10:53
  He actually performed really well.
• 10:54
  But John Carlson wasn't playing yet.
• 10:56
  So what's what's, how is it going to be when he's healthy
• 11:01
  and ready to suit up? First of all, I think 55, this
• 11:04
  is great. I think for the goalie, it's
• 11:05
  great. I think for the team, it's
• 11:07
  great. Anaheim is a playoff team for
• 11:08
  the first time in a long time, and they're making moves to, you
• 11:12
  know, be better. Love it for them.
• 11:14
  Love it for the team. It brings a good veteran
• 11:16
  presence with leadership. But that power play one, if
• 11:20
  it's, I'm way more interested in Carlton.
• 11:21
  If he is a line one power play 1.
• 11:24
  For sure. Well, the line 1 is a that's
• 11:27
  whatever, but the power play one, well, I just feel like.
• 11:30
  It could be the Coleman Carlson and I mean that's I mean that's
• 11:34
  a lot of minutes. And then the power play 1 is the
• 11:37
  the real killer become hasn't necessarily been exceptional
• 11:40
  there, right. Like it's kind of been
• 11:41
  underwhelming. More writing on name value than
• 11:44
  actual production. Funny enough, last night, he
• 11:46
  actually does really well. But it could be or maybe Carlson
• 11:52
  is line 2 power play one. But if he's power play 1, I
• 11:55
  think he still has it in him. Like people are gonna say, oh,
• 11:57
  look at Washington. He got bumped off.
• 12:00
  He's not even that good. He couldn't keep it on his old
• 12:01
  team. But like Chicken is an elite
• 12:03
  defenseman. He's also way younger.
• 12:05
  So I understand it. But I would not hold it against
• 12:08
  John Carlson to get bumped off by Chicken.
• 12:10
  And even when Chicken was there, John Carlson was on it too.
• 12:13
  At certain points. They were running both guys.
• 12:15
  I think he could be very successful.
• 12:17
  And also, I just want to say we tried to tell you to sell John
• 12:20
  Carlson the whole season, like he was like a must sell at
• 12:23
  certain points just because of the point wasn't there, but the
• 12:25
  production was. If you weren't able to make that
• 12:28
  happen and you were caught holding the bag, this basically
• 12:30
  saves your bag. It brings them back to fancy
• 12:33
  relevance in my opinion. So if that happened to you, you
• 12:36
  should be happy. So, so the way I see this look
• 12:40
  home is actually been on an absolute terror.
• 12:42
  It's not just last game. It's it's like really since the
• 12:44
  Olympic break, he's been yeah, yeah, since the Olympic break,
• 12:48
  he's gotten one game without a point and then one of them, he
• 12:51
  had two. So mathematically he's a point
• 12:52
  per game. Since the Olympic break.
• 12:54
  This is all sorts, of course it. Was a little bit lower than you
• 12:57
  would expect. Actually, it's it's not been bad
• 13:00
  to tell you the. Truth better recently for sure.
• 13:02
  Yeah, like. So six games, he's got three
• 13:05
  power upload points. It's .5 over the last week and a
• 13:09
  half, two weeks since the Olympics.
• 13:10
  And at the end of the day, I think that that's gonna bode
• 13:13
  well for the chances of him keeping it.
• 13:14
  What I like about this is 1 the real life implication.
• 13:18
  You said that's great. The implication for Anaheim, for
• 13:22
  Anaheim, it's fantastic. And I also think that look I
• 13:25
  mean even without power play 1 he can still be one of those non
• 13:30
  power play one decent defensemen to own.
• 13:33
  If he doesn't get power, that I'm not interested.
• 13:35
  I'm just I'm not necessarily think he's gonna have enough
• 13:37
  points to do it and that he's not a banger guy either.
• 13:40
  So. Well, look, he's 91% owned in
• 13:43
  Yahoo right now. It's in the day.
• 13:45
  Like this to me makes him makes him like, I guess a bit more
• 13:50
  attractive than he was on Washington for a large part of
• 13:54
  the season when he was not getting the power play one.
• 13:56
  Like I think that this trade is good.
• 13:58
  I don't know. It's one of those that it's kind
• 14:00
  of up in the air and I don't think Lacoma has a lock on
• 14:03
  there, but he has been super good recently.
• 14:05
  So it's a question mark. It's not one of those though,
• 14:07
  like Minnesota trading for Quinn Hughes.
• 14:09
  They're doing it to make him a certain power other one
• 14:12
  quarterback. That's far from the case.
• 14:14
  It's still up in the air, but there is a chance that he could
• 14:16
  see power play 1 And I think that Washington, I think that
• 14:19
  Anaheim is a good place for. That the also Washington get out
• 14:23
  that yeah, both him and Lacombe could be on power play one like
• 14:26
  Anaheim has kind of possibility won't split units.
• 14:29
  Like they just have their talent pretty spread out.
• 14:31
  Would I be shocked if they run both guys on one unit?
• 14:34
  I would be shocked. I think it's unwise because they
• 14:36
  have Jacob Trouba quarterbacking in one of the units and that's
• 14:39
  just not that guy for that. So I think they're going to
• 14:42
  have, you know, in the lead, probably quarterback had both
• 14:44
  like, you know, Lacombe and Carlson both having their own
• 14:45
  units. But would I be shocked if
• 14:47
  they're like, let's just try this out and see how it goes.
• 14:49
  Just putting it out there. I I think that he has the
• 14:52
  pedigree of having like been a really good player in his
• 14:55
  career. So they're gonna give him the
• 14:56
  chance to succeed offensively. You know, I'm actually looking
• 14:59
  at like his game log and he has been dealing with some injuries,
• 15:03
  but overall on the season he has been good.
• 15:06
  So maybe slight correction. I don't know if he'll
• 15:08
  necessarily be as good as he has been on the season.
• 15:10
  But as we've mentioned on the podcast several times, it's come
• 15:13
  in waves. So the average is maybe a little
• 15:15
  bit deceiving. I think that it could be if he
• 15:17
  gets the chance to be on the power play 1.
• 15:19
  Pretty consistent and a good player on for the rest of the
• 15:22
  year. Yep.
• 15:23
  If you still hold John Carlson, I'd be happy.
• 15:27
  I think that's a good. Thing I'm not dropping him.
• 15:29
  It's the same as Kadri. It's like it doesn't make it.
• 15:31
  It doesn't make it glaringly worse.
• 15:34
  This trade, if he ends up being lined to power play 2, I just
• 15:37
  don't think he's gonna have enough value to be a mainstay on
• 15:41
  your roster. And at that point, we'll
• 15:43
  probably suggest cut it. But for a moment, I'm excited.
• 15:46
  Yeah, me too. OK, Next one, the New York
• 15:50
  Islanders trade for Brayden Schenn.
• 15:52
  St. Louis in return gets a first
• 15:54
  round pick, a third round pick, Jonathan Druitt and Marcus
• 15:58
  Gidlow off. I think that this can maybe go
• 16:00
  in the history books as the drew and trade.
• 16:02
  That's a joke. This was a surprising one, to be
• 16:08
  honest. Like it was we were following
• 16:09
  the Blues for so long because we were like, OK, like it's Robert
• 16:12
  Thomas. It's Bennington is a two big
• 16:14
  names out there. Ice cream Bennington early
• 16:16
  because I was like, I need to get ahead of it.
• 16:17
  If he gets traded, I need a goalie.
• 16:19
  I'm desperate. Millington doesn't get traded.
• 16:22
  Robert Thomas doesn't get traded.
• 16:23
  Like he's going to Buffalo guys, it's over.
• 16:25
  And then it's like actually Buffalo is not willing to pay.
• 16:28
  Oh, we're trading Colton Preco. Actually, he's not moving as a
• 16:30
  no, he's not moving his no move clause.
• 16:33
  So a lot of shenanigans happening with close, but this
• 16:35
  whole lot of pieces they sold and they sold their captain and
• 16:39
  now we have to talk about it. But the line 2 probably going to
• 16:43
  be power play 2 and I just I still view Brayden Schenn the
• 16:49
  same way. If you didn't leave on Saint
• 16:50
  Louis, he's kind of just like a banger middle 6 forward that is
• 16:55
  going to be better for bangers leagues because he has the
• 16:57
  category of coverage and the points are just not an element
• 17:00
  that I'm necessarily streaming him for.
• 17:03
  Like, I think they can be there. I think on an island in that,
• 17:06
  you know, more prolific. He could be exposed to more
• 17:08
  points, but it's not something that I'm expecting out of this
• 17:12
  game. So, yeah, I mean, this team,
• 17:16
  this team is like one of those, if you look at the roster, it's
• 17:19
  like why have they been so solid all season?
• 17:22
  It doesn't really make sense. There's not any certainty at all
• 17:27
  that he'll get a look on power play one.
• 17:29
  It's just not his game. Like you said, he's an enforcer
• 17:31
  and the line. What I do like about this for
• 17:36
  his fantasy outlook as compared to what he's had, you know,
• 17:39
  coming into this, this trade deadline, is that now he has the
• 17:42
  opportunity to get more minutes and his minutes have been there.
• 17:47
  They've been kind of a little all over the place, sometimes
• 17:49
  15, sometimes 18. So I think that's like a solid
• 17:52
  difference. You know, at the end of the day,
• 17:54
  if he does play a lot, which I think that they're they're
• 17:58
  they're traded for him. So he could be the line to
• 18:00
  centre. So I think it could bode well
• 18:04
  for his his banger categories. And yeah, it's it's it's not
• 18:07
  bad. I mean, it's not that exciting,
• 18:10
  but I think it's one of those similar theme to the Kadri and
• 18:15
  John Carlson one. If you own him, you're kind of
• 18:19
  you're not unhappy with this at all.
• 18:20
  I will say two more small tidbits and then I'll let you
• 18:24
  try them in here. You know, when a player gets
• 18:28
  traded to another team during the season, it's just like
• 18:30
  ambiguous. Padre has played on the
• 18:32
  Avalanche, so I think that that could be good.
• 18:33
  Yeah. Carlson, if he gets the
• 18:34
  opportunity, could be fun. Brayden Schenn is a banger guy.
• 18:38
  He's not, he's not a points guy. So I think that, you know, that
• 18:41
  can translate well. And if he has the minutes, it
• 18:43
  could be good here. And not exactly relevant to this
• 18:47
  trade, but kind of the last three Stanley Cup winners all
• 18:51
  had the captain from the previous team get traded to that
• 18:54
  new team. So you're saying the Islanders
• 18:57
  are gonna win the Stanley? Cup, I'm saying the Islanders
• 19:00
  which were betting podcast now or the Wild or the Wild because
• 19:04
  they got Quinn Hughes and Nick Felino.
• 19:06
  True, the whole interesting. I mean, I think Josh and I on
• 19:10
  the last meal back episode, we it was one of the ones that you
• 19:14
  ended up missing Jackie, But we had a question that people ask,
• 19:16
  like who's your standing up like prediction right now?
• 19:19
  And we both said the wild. Wow, So it was the wild from the
• 19:23
  West, and I think I said Tampa from the east for you, who Josh
• 19:27
  said. I think Josh also would be a
• 19:28
  Tampa, But I can see that the Wilder they made so many depth
• 19:33
  moves this trade deadline to kind of just like show up their
• 19:36
  bottom 6 and just make themselves more well-rounded and
• 19:39
  they have a lot of top ten top end talent.
• 19:41
  But but last thing on Britain, Chen, would I be shocked if you
• 19:44
  got power play 1 exposure? No, the island is kind of like
• 19:46
  really split their units just talent wise.
• 19:49
  You know, the unit would Shaffer is going to be the first unit.
• 19:51
  That's basically a given. So there's the Horvat, Barzel,
• 19:55
  Schaefer trio that's there. And then the two other pieces
• 19:58
  always kind of like rotate. You would think it be some of
• 20:00
  their better players, but right now it's like Holmstrom and
• 20:02
  Callum Ritchie. So would I be shocked if Shen
• 20:05
  gets a look at one of those spots?
• 20:07
  Maybe he plays some net front. I would not be shocked.
• 20:09
  So if that's if that actually happens, he could be way more
• 20:12
  valuable even in bangers leagues.
• 20:14
  But he's going to get you shots, hits face off, wins some blocks,
• 20:18
  and that's like elite category coverage, therefore.
• 20:21
  That's what you want from SO. Yep.
• 20:25
  OK, let's move on to the next one.
• 20:28
  Detroit Red Wings trade for Justin Faulk.
• 20:31
  In return, Saint Louis gets a first, a third, and Justin Hull.
• 20:35
  Justin for Justin. Yes.
• 20:38
  All right. I'm curious about what you think
• 20:40
  about this one. This is an interesting one in
• 20:42
  my. Mind, there's a lot of ways of
• 20:44
  this could go. Obviously, Saint Louis loses
• 20:47
  their power play quarterback. We talked about this before as a
• 20:49
  possibility earlier on the podcast a few weeks ago when we
• 20:52
  started hearing Justin Fox name out there.
• 20:54
  So first of all, I'm monitoring who's going to be the power play
• 20:56
  one quarterback for Saint Louis because I think they get a bump
• 20:58
  in value. Maybe Parreco might be 10,
• 21:00
  Fowler again might be Broberg. We'll see how it goes now to
• 21:06
  Detroit. Do I think Justin Faulk will be
• 21:08
  power play one on Detroit? Is he going to, you know, take
• 21:12
  over from more cider? It's in the range of outcomes.
• 21:15
  I will say right now leading unlikely.
• 21:17
  I think Falk ends up being the power play 2 quarterback.
• 21:20
  I'm more interested also because that's the first Domino's like
• 21:24
  power play one. Do we think yes or no?
• 21:26
  If he if he is the power .1 quarterback, he gets a
• 21:29
  significant boost in value guys. So if you if Justin Faulk is on
• 21:32
  your waivers, I would try to go pick him up.
• 21:35
  I'd be proactive about it. If by the time listening to this
• 21:37
  he's still available, I'd probably cut your worst defence.
• 21:39
  But to take A chance on Justin Falk, if he's available, might
• 21:42
  it might just be he's like line 2 power play 2 or whatever and
• 21:46
  he doesn't end up being valuable.
• 21:47
  You cut him at that point, but the chance that he could be
• 21:49
  powerful, one of those Detroit power play I'm taking the chance
• 21:53
  would hurt Siders value. Now the next thing that I need
• 21:57
  to mention is I'm an owner of Edmondson and Sharat on my
• 22:01
  league of record team. I got 2 bangers D from this
• 22:03
  team. I'm basically thinking, OK,
• 22:06
  where does Faulk slot into the lineup?
• 22:08
  How does how does that affect the minutes of these other
• 22:10
  players? So they play less minutes.
• 22:12
  They're bangers get worse, less valuable as a whole and just
• 22:16
  become a stream. So those are the things that I'm
• 22:18
  monitoring. But I really like this for
• 22:20
  Detroit. I think they made an excellent
• 22:22
  trade. I would have hoped they gotta
• 22:23
  like they were in for Robert Thomas.
• 22:25
  They were in for the show checks, doves moves could have
• 22:27
  made them like title contenders. I think the teams around them
• 22:30
  got better and they kind of stayed stagnant or a little bit
• 22:32
  better. So if I'm some of Detroit player
• 22:35
  like Dylan Larkin, I'm a little bit upset.
• 22:37
  My GM at the trade deadline being like, I thought this was
• 22:40
  the year we're actually making a push.
• 22:41
  Nothing happened. What, what, what gives, you
• 22:44
  know? So what do you think?
• 22:46
  So for the for the Saint Louis Blues, I think that it's it's
• 22:51
  one of those that it's, it's we said this coming into the trade
• 22:55
  deadline that basically if you know, the the veterans gets
• 22:58
  traded, that what's going to happen is that the young guys
• 23:00
  are just going to have the opportunity to kind of play and
• 23:05
  make mistakes and learn and stuff like that.
• 23:07
  So I think that for whoever gets the power play one there, it's a
• 23:11
  decent opportunity on an exciting team.
• 23:15
  And by exciting, I don't mean they're gonna be good.
• 23:17
  I just mean that they could have some like, good fantasy assets
• 23:20
  that are kind of flying under the radar.
• 23:22
  I wouldn't be surprised. And I'm a little biased saying
• 23:24
  this because I picked them up. Maybe Logan my you gets a look
• 23:26
  on power play. One he might, he might.
• 23:28
  It's not impossible, and that would be pretty fun.
• 23:31
  My odds on favorite are I think it's Fowler just because we've
• 23:34
  seen him be there before. But you know, saying this is not
• 23:37
  a team is trying to win right now.
• 23:38
  Do they give my you a look there?
• 23:40
  Absolutely could. Yeah, and he should be like
• 23:43
  they're, you know #1 defenseman moving forward they were hoping
• 23:47
  for. Exactly.
• 23:48
  So that's what I think about Saint Louis now.
• 23:51
  I think there's just a few parallels between Detroit
• 23:53
  acquiring Folk and the Ducks acquiring Carlson, except I
• 23:58
  think that Detroit has better offensive defensemen that Folk
• 24:04
  would have to beat out in order to get power play one there.
• 24:07
  So Cider is the obvious choice is there right now, and then
• 24:13
  Edmondson and maybe even Sand and Pelica.
• 24:16
  That's scarier to me than Carlson trying to beat out
• 24:21
  Lacombe and make like what? Michkov is their second best.
• 24:26
  No, he's never run that unit. So that's kind of the way I see
• 24:30
  it, is that for Carlson to actually get that it's a little
• 24:33
  bit more likely, and for folk to get power play one, it's less
• 24:37
  promising. So from a fantasy perspective, I
• 24:41
  don't love this really. I think that this makes focused
• 24:44
  value drop decently and I do like it for Detroit.
• 24:48
  Though overall I guess I'll kind of take the other side of the
• 24:50
  coin here is that now they have a pretty solid decor and could
• 24:54
  maybe make a decent push. My expectation is I think the
• 24:58
  line one on the decor would side and Edmonton says the same and
• 25:01
  then I think it's line 2 is going to be Sharad and Faulk.
• 25:04
  And then Bernard Docker would get bumped down whether he stays
• 25:07
  in the lineup or not or if it's, you know, Johansson or standing
• 25:10
  pulling that gets bumped off. I think that's probably the most
• 25:13
  likely case. And I mean, I think we'll have
• 25:17
  to wait and see other practice lines shake out who are folk
• 25:20
  ends up. I think Fall goes to power play
• 25:22
  2, but if he gets the power play 1 he might be one of the guys
• 25:26
  that may have the best fantasy value after this trade deadline.
• 25:30
  Talk about that, she gets traded.
• 25:32
  Absolutely I mean cider cider is the most likely one to to keep
• 25:38
  it only because he he literally never misses a game, which is
• 25:42
  absolutely insane. I think he's played every game
• 25:44
  in his career so far, which is extremely impressive.
• 25:48
  And also, like I was going to say, you know, this could be a
• 25:51
  good move, let's say, for for injury insurance or whatever
• 25:54
  similar. If, you know, Lane Hudson gets
• 25:57
  hurt, then you got Dobson. He was able to play there, but
• 25:59
  but Cider doesn't like, he's just indestructible.
• 26:04
  So yeah, I don't know. I think that this is a good move
• 26:08
  for Detroit as a team. I don't love it for fantasy for
• 26:12
  folk. OK, this is this one.
• 26:16
  I do like though. This one's really fun.
• 26:19
  Utah, the Utah, the Utah the Utah mammoth of choir.
• 26:24
  Mackenzie Weeger in exchange for 1/3 a second Ali Mata and
• 26:30
  Jonathan Kastania. Not related to lasagna.
• 26:35
  That was a bad Yeah, that's that's an important preface
• 26:39
  before we dive into the before we dive into this.
• 26:42
  So as much as I, as much as I think that, well, I mean, look,
• 26:47
  Sergachev actually hurt now. So there's there's that he he's
• 26:51
  day-to-day. We're gonna we're gonna dive
• 26:52
  into that a little bit later on in the episode.
• 26:55
  Sean Dorsey is the power play one there.
• 26:56
  In the meantime, I think that if this is a long term thing for
• 27:00
  Sergachev, hopefully it's not because I own him, but whatever.
• 27:04
  I I think that that weaker would slot on the power play one with
• 27:08
  Sergachev back. I really don't know, but I don't
• 27:10
  think it's impossible. And I just think that that
• 27:13
  wiggers proved to be a tremendous fantasy asset in his
• 27:16
  career in a bangers league. I I liked him.
• 27:19
  I liked him every year except for this year pretty much since
• 27:22
  he started becoming good on Florida.
• 27:24
  So this could be one of those where it's a good opportunity
• 27:26
  for him to kind of be Wigger of old in a sense and get back to
• 27:31
  maybe like if he has power play 1.5 with trials, two hits, two
• 27:35
  blocks, and that'd be great .5 points to clarify.
• 27:38
  I mean, that's the thing with bigger, right?
• 27:39
  Like he was arguably the worst, no top five defensemen pick in
• 27:45
  Bangor league drafts this year, right, because he did not live
• 27:48
  up to the value at all. He was a guy that, you know, you
• 27:51
  drafted to be a banger stud with, you know, power play one
• 27:55
  on a team that is like probably below average, but not the worst
• 27:57
  team in the league. They were arguably one of the
• 27:59
  worst team in the league this season.
• 28:01
  You know, he didn't even hold the power play one spot for a
• 28:03
  long time. The bankers weren't always
• 28:05
  consistent. So I think Wigger had like his
• 28:08
  worst fantasy season. He he held name value way more
• 28:11
  than like actual production for way longer than he was supposed
• 28:13
  to. What was going down?
• 28:16
  I think Bolt goes back up after this, but I think you have to
• 28:19
  temper your expectations or temporary expectations.
• 28:21
  Whichever 1 you should do is that's the one that you have to
• 28:24
  do. I don't think he gets power play
• 28:26
  1. I think Sergachev is the guy.
• 28:28
  I think Jersey is the guy ahead of him.
• 28:30
  I think he would be 30 pecking order, absolutely OK.
• 28:33
  He couldn't even hold it on Calgary and Calgary has an
• 28:35
  abysmal power play. So I think, I mean, Utah's power
• 28:40
  play is second worst to Colorado.
• 28:44
  I don't think this is the partly move they were trying to make.
• 28:47
  Yeah, I'm just happy. I'm just happy that I think it's
• 28:51
  a good ice time. I think his bangers could be
• 28:54
  better. Like, there's a world where that
• 28:55
  happens, but I just think you're gonna get kind of like Mackenzie
• 28:59
  Weeger of old. It just helps Utah a lot for,
• 29:01
  like, their, you know, playoff push and their success.
• 29:04
  It really helps their defensive core.
• 29:06
  I think the question here is more so are you interested in
• 29:10
  the next guy up in Calgary And everybody was like rushing to
• 29:13
  pick up Zane, correct? And I was like, whoa, whoa,
• 29:15
  whoa, whoa, whoa, hold your horses here.
• 29:17
  Like I get it. You know, we're always
• 29:19
  interested in the new power play, one quarterback on the
• 29:21
  block. So you have to first of all, you
• 29:22
  have to know what is lock on evaluate.
• 29:26
  Now I'm like, OK, Parekh is a rookie.
• 29:28
  So first of all, we don't know how high his ceiling is, what
• 29:30
  his potential is. We saw with Schaefer, we could
• 29:31
  be like, you know, Islanders are are a dollar sign, dollar sign.
• 29:34
  But then Shaver comes in and everything is different.
• 29:36
  It's perfect. The same type of player thing
• 29:38
  has a lot of potential. Don't think the shape or type of
• 29:40
  guy. He doesn't have the category
• 29:42
  coverage. Exactly.
• 29:43
  He's not. He's another category coverage.
• 29:45
  Calgary is not a good power play.
• 29:46
  There's a lot of talent around him.
• 29:48
  I think he's the type of guy that you could pick up being
• 29:49
  like, OK, I have the power of the quarterback for Calgary and
• 29:52
  he's never gonna live up to what you want him to give you this
• 29:55
  season. I would.
• 29:56
  I would not. I don't say I wouldn't waste my
• 29:58
  time picking him up. If you have the luxury of taking
• 30:00
  the chance on him, I would, but I don't think he's going to be
• 30:03
  the guide us to help you on your fantasy team for this playoff
• 30:05
  push. That's my take.
• 30:07
  Maybe I'm wrong, I'm putting it out there.
• 30:09
  Maybe he is the God. It elevates everybody around him
• 30:12
  and makes it successful. It's a possibility.
• 30:15
  I just think that it's so low that I'm not risking, you know,
• 30:17
  my valuable waiver wire moves at this point in the season on him.
• 30:21
  Yeah. So parachute is not is going to
• 30:27
  be that good this year. I'm confident in saying that.
• 30:30
  He's had 17 games so far this season.
• 30:32
  He has point. Shafer, on the other hand, is an
• 30:35
  absolute generational defenseman who I think.
• 30:37
  Is gonna. Be like, yeah, it's like, so I
• 30:41
  know that there's kind of a trend in that defenseman who are
• 30:46
  21 years old, which is young for a defenseman, can actually be
• 30:51
  good in the NHL. This is not something that was
• 30:53
  always the case, but it's kind of become a reality.
• 30:56
  But halfway through the season on an already horrible team,
• 31:00
  yes, he had an incredible world juniors, there's no doubt about
• 31:03
  it. But I really don't think that
• 31:05
  like I think they're going to keep him on power play one,
• 31:07
  which is good, but I don't expect it to be anything crazy
• 31:12
  just because Calgary isn't a bad spot as far as the weaker side
• 31:16
  of it. The silver lining of this trade,
• 31:20
  I would say it's not even really a silver lining.
• 31:21
  It's just more like I like his floor here because on Florida
• 31:26
  and yes, this is like, you know, four years ago or whatever and
• 31:29
  the game has changed and stuff and we're now power play
• 31:31
  defensemen are even more valuable than they've ever been.
• 31:35
  But he was not always power play 1 and he was still really good.
• 31:40
  So I think he's the type of guy that can be a very decent player
• 31:44
  on your fantasy team without power play 1.
• 31:46
  You know, you said you don't want draw Carlson unless he's
• 31:48
  not power play 1. I get it, but weaker even if
• 31:51
  he's if he's not there, I think he could be really solid first
• 31:55
  autism blogs and a points league, way less interested, but
• 31:58
  a bangers league. I think that this is this is an
• 32:00
  opportunity for him to get back to classic, but weaker than
• 32:03
  that. You're like.
• 32:04
  I agree with you. I think we're saying the same
• 32:06
  thing because I think he's already good at shots and blocks
• 32:09
  like he was. He averages over over two shots,
• 32:12
  over two hits, over 2 blocks. It's exceptional.
• 32:14
  But Darnell Nurse, that too. There's other guys that you
• 32:17
  know, get close to doing that. The reason we are gets drafted
• 32:19
  so high is because he's also on power play 1 and has that
• 32:23
  exposure, right? He'll get you like .25 power
• 32:25
  play points, slightly over .5 points between .5 and .6.
• 32:28
  And that gives him the edge over all these other guys that are
• 32:31
  just doing the bangers. But this season he wasn't doing
• 32:33
  that. He was he wasn't even hitting
• 32:35
  point .1 power play points and the points were just not even
• 32:38
  there. And that's why everybody was
• 32:40
  disappointed because the reason that he was better than a
• 32:42
  Darnell Nurse was the power play exposure.
• 32:44
  I don't think he's getting the power play exposure on Utah
• 32:46
  either. So I think it's just going to be
• 32:48
  the same. You know, Mackenzie Weegar that
• 32:50
  we love that gets two shots, two hits, two blocks, and he has a
• 32:53
  high ceiling in all those. Like he can hit juice seven hits
• 32:56
  or seven blocks in any given game.
• 32:58
  I just don't think the power play exposure is there.
• 33:00
  And I think that's why I think it's kind of like a lateral move
• 33:02
  for his fantasy value, but better for Utah and their
• 33:05
  aspirations and stuff, so. Yeah, that's fair.
• 33:08
  I, I, I guess, I guess I see where you're coming from.
• 33:11
  It could be that the points are just not gonna be what they what
• 33:14
  they were last season. And the power, I mean, the power
• 33:17
  play points for a defenseman were tremendous actually.
• 33:19
  Yeah, that's why you so exceptional.
• 33:22
  Exactly. But I do think so.
• 33:25
  You think overall though, is this like a sign of better
• 33:27
  things to come for him? Or I think he's playing on a
• 33:30
  better team. Yeah.
• 33:32
  So so I expect, you know, he might be able to do better
• 33:36
  bangers, but it's the time of ice.
• 33:38
  The question like if he might be line 1, he could be a line 2 and
• 33:42
  be power play 2 or line 2 and not even on the power play
• 33:45
  because they have circuitry running the 1st and Thursday
• 33:47
  running the second. Like it's it's just about the
• 33:49
  time of ice. That's the question to me.
• 33:51
  But if you're trading for Mackenzie, bigger thing has a
• 33:52
  lot of pedigree and I think they might play in the important
• 33:54
  minute. So you might be like a, you
• 33:56
  know, integral PK guy and maybe 5 on five.
• 34:00
  Maybe they do put in line and he's playing the big minutes, so
• 34:04
  I'd be curious to see where his banger levels shakes out.
• 34:07
  Yeah, but I think it's probably going to be more of the same.
• 34:12
  OK, yeah, fair enough. All right.
• 34:14
  And I'd say this is one of the last big ones over here for
• 34:18
  trades. The Seattle cracking acquire
• 34:21
  Bobby McMahon in exchange for a second and a fourth round pick.
• 34:25
  OK, Toronto does not get the 1st that they wanted.
• 34:27
  We always heard, you know, give us a first for Bobby McMahon.
• 34:31
  And people are like, no. Yeah.
• 34:35
  So first, first thing I will say here for the Seattle cracking
• 34:40
  commentators, I'm sorry that I have to distinguish between
• 34:42
  McCann and McMahon. That's going to be confusing.
• 34:48
  I yeah, I really think that that's gonna be a a bit of a a
• 34:52
  bit of a difficult one for them, especially like, I mean, Mcmath.
• 34:55
  Wait, I don't remember exactly. Yeah.
• 34:58
  Do you know what number he was? McMahon?
• 35:01
  I can't think of it off the top of my head on Toronto.
• 35:04
  I cannot think of it on top of my head.
• 35:06
  Either anyway, I've just I think anyway, whatever it was 3rd
• 35:11
  Jared McCann is 19. So if he goes like 29 or
• 35:14
  something like that, that's gonna be an absolute an absolute
• 35:18
  disaster. But all this to say that the
• 35:21
  more the more relevant for your fantasy leagues. 74 Does that
• 35:26
  make sense? 74 OK, yes, it is.
• 35:29
  That's what it was. OK.
• 35:30
  So that's a far cry from 19. So hopefully they're gonna be
• 35:32
  OK. He's just to say, hey, we
• 35:36
  sympathize with the Seattle cracking commentators because
• 35:39
  it's that's close. McCann Hickman definitely.
• 35:42
  OK, now on to the trade part of it.
• 35:45
  I guess we'll I'm gonna just take a look at Toronto here
• 35:47
  first. I think that I think that
• 35:49
  McMahon was actually having a very solid season.
• 35:53
  He wasn't really power play one at any point or you know, but so
• 35:58
  I think that as far as that goes, you know, the traditional
• 36:01
  way of looking at this, that's OK for the Toronto assets.
• 36:04
  Now, does this make them actually worse because he was a
• 36:07
  decent player for them? I don't think so, but I
• 36:10
  definitely don't think it makes them better.
• 36:12
  I guess the one beneficiary here is that hopefully Easton Cowan,
• 36:17
  they actually give him some opportunity to stay in the
• 36:19
  lineup and to to play on the online too.
• 36:24
  And I think that that could be good.
• 36:26
  I think the main, the main thing from this is on Seattle, where
• 36:31
  do you think is going to line up?
• 36:32
  Because we know, we know that big man can be a double, double
• 36:36
  guy. He's a guy that's gonna get you
• 36:37
  some shots from his exposure and forgot it's very low raw sort in
• 36:40
  fantasy leagues. He's actually pretty good at
• 36:42
  that. But this, this is, I don't want
• 36:45
  to say not exciting to me, but Seattle's already a team full of
• 36:49
  middle 6 wingers and they just traded for another one.
• 36:52
  They wanted, you know, they were in the Panarin sweepstakes and
• 36:54
  they didn't happen. That would have been like a
• 36:55
  really big, you know, give us that superstar winger that we
• 36:59
  can build our team around. They just have another Eberly,
• 37:01
  another Tolvanen Schwartz, Like he's just throw another name in
• 37:04
  the bucket and by McMahon. So yeah, I think he's going to
• 37:08
  end up being line 2 power play 2 is my guess.
• 37:13
  He could be line 3, power play 2.
• 37:16
  He could be line 3 power play one.
• 37:18
  Like that's kind of like the range.
• 37:19
  I just don't think he's a slot on line 1.
• 37:23
  So I think it's just gonna, it's gonna be similar value to what
• 37:25
  he was on Toronto, maybe slightly more minutes that makes
• 37:27
  slightly more valuable. I think it's fun for, you know,
• 37:31
  bangers that need that double, double coverage.
• 37:34
  But besides that, he's he doesn't become a game breaker
• 37:36
  now. He's just something you're
• 37:37
  interested in and maybe gets slightly more minutes and that
• 37:40
  helps. Yeah, I think, I think the only
• 37:42
  thing is that it was it was shots, hits that made him a good
• 37:46
  player to own in Toronto. And he's gonna keep up the shots
• 37:49
  and hits as far as where he's gonna go, like I really have no
• 37:53
  idea with looking at this. I mean like unless maybe he
• 37:58
  could play centre and nobody knows about it, then maybe
• 38:00
  there's room online too. But otherwise, like I've been
• 38:03
  told and said, really good, good production this year.
• 38:07
  Maybe he can buck bump Berkeley Caton off.
• 38:10
  But I mean, I think that Katie's so like a good up and coming
• 38:12
  player and they're gonna wanna make sure that, you know, he has
• 38:16
  he has the opportunity. But with Seattle fighting for a
• 38:18
  playoff spot, I guess the the most likely scenario is that
• 38:22
  Kaden just kind of in and out of the lineup and McMahon's gonna
• 38:25
  go line 3. That's what it is.
• 38:28
  Not exciting. Yeah, definitely not that
• 38:30
  exciting. But to be able to have a shots
• 38:34
  hits guy on your team is nice, but it's not the destination you
• 38:40
  were hoping for to actually bring out some more offensive
• 38:42
  potential. All right, let's blow through
• 38:45
  some of these next ones. If they're not super fantasy
• 38:47
  relevant, we'll just like say the trade and we'll move on.
• 38:49
  If it is fantasy relevant, we'll give a little tidbit.
• 38:52
  But those are those are the big guys that were like most of the
• 38:55
  players are fantasy relevant. Yeah, and unless it's like a
• 38:58
  first round pick, I'm not really gonna say all the picks in
• 39:01
  exchange because it's going to be a lot, a lot of words.
• 39:03
  OK. Buffalo Sabres acquire Luke Shen
• 39:07
  and Logan Stanley. Winnipeg gets a second plus in
• 39:12
  return. Yep, I think this is the earlier
• 39:15
  the only the only thing is they're they're decor is now
• 39:19
  like average height is like 6-5. I don't know if you saw, but
• 39:22
  it's like, yeah, everybody's like they got some 6 sevens.
• 39:24
  They got some 6167. Yeah, but I think Logan Stanley
• 39:29
  will be in the lineup. I think Shen will be the guide
• 39:30
  us like in and out of the lineup.
• 39:31
  So if you were streaming him for some hits and blocks like I was
• 39:34
  in another league, probably not relevant anymore for Buffalo.
• 39:38
  They wanted Perico. I don't know.
• 39:39
  They said they got the big swing.
• 39:41
  He didn't he didn't move to go there.
• 39:43
  So disappointing, but Buffalo is are you one of the best teams in
• 39:47
  the league right now? So they.
• 39:48
  Yeah. They're gonna be a fun team to
• 39:50
  watch the playoffs. Yeah, I mean, I, I don't know if
• 39:54
  if anyone heard our predictions in the offseason, but we
• 39:57
  absolutely chose Buffalo to beat out Florida considerably in the
• 40:01
  Atlantic. Totally like everybody else,
• 40:04
  right? Now this is.
• 40:06
  This is so surprising, but I will say the only thing to add
• 40:11
  here is that this is just like, so like offline offence wins
• 40:15
  games but defence wins championships.
• 40:17
  Yeah, this is exactly what they're trying to do is.
• 40:19
  They're decors loaded and they put so much stock into it.
• 40:24
  Yeah, alright, next Colorado gets Nick Lot in exchange for a
• 40:28
  first round pick. Plus, interesting here because I
• 40:32
  mean, we spoke about this, we don't have to dive into it, but
• 40:34
  the fact that he got it first, that's what makes it seem to us
• 40:37
  that he's going to be a staple on that line 3 setup.
• 40:39
  So I'm gonna put him on line 4 if they gave him.
• 40:41
  First, he's just a good bottom 6 centre to have like arguably I
• 40:45
  would say one of the more talented line three seasons you
• 40:47
  can have. He's got some potential to him.
• 40:49
  Like if he was put in a better role, like in the top six role,
• 40:51
  I think he could thrive. He's done it in the past, but
• 40:53
  this is just go watch list guy and maybe he he's becomes an
• 40:56
  injury replacement somewhere in the lineup if they they do get
• 40:58
  banged up more often. But yeah, I like the quality
• 41:01
  player, but this trade just makes Colorado an even stronger
• 41:04
  championship contender. Yep, next Edmonton acquires
• 41:08
  Jason Dickinson and Colton Dock. They gave a first and Manjani
• 41:12
  for. This are actually the worst
• 41:13
  trade the trade deadline. Yeah, I mean, I think Manjani
• 41:17
  could at least stay in the lineup on Chicago.
• 41:19
  She couldn't stand the lineup on Edmonton, you guys.
• 41:21
  Cook, that's what I'm saying. Like Chicago's less good.
• 41:24
  So it's yeah, OK, but Colton Dock hits and I think that's the
• 41:29
  other like, I don't know, He he I don't think he's gonna even
• 41:32
  play really like. She hits.
• 41:34
  They were saying Jason Dickinson is like one of the best, like
• 41:36
  shutdown centres in the entire NHL.
• 41:39
  So basically Edmonton traded like a first round pick to, you
• 41:43
  know, get a guy that's going to be able to play like top PK
• 41:46
  units for PK minutes for them and really shore up their, you
• 41:49
  know, penalty kill. I think that's also why they
• 41:51
  traded for Connor Murphy potentially.
• 41:54
  But yeah, fantasy wise, this is not relevant.
• 41:57
  I think Edmonton could have done way better with the assets they
• 42:00
  did give up this this trade cycle.
• 42:02
  The whole Tristan Jarry thing was a whole debacle.
• 42:04
  We're not gonna get into it again.
• 42:05
  But I was right and and moment was wrong.
• 42:08
  So I don't know how long he lost.
• 42:10
  I think he's getting fired after this year.
• 42:12
  But if they knew what they was good for them, they would do it.
• 42:15
  But alas, they might not and they have more assets to give
• 42:18
  for anything anymore. So yeah, good job then, yes.
• 42:24
  Next next one, Vegas acquires Nick Dowd and in exchange for a
• 42:29
  second round pick Plus, really not much to say.
• 42:32
  Here, the most fantasy relevant thing that you can see here is
• 42:34
  that Nick Dowd played his last game for Washington against my
• 42:37
  fantasy team and he dropped ten hits against me.
• 42:40
  So yeah, that's all from Mcdowd like.
• 42:46
  One another, Olivier, is it you? Let's not get into all of you.
• 42:50
  Thank God Josh is not here because the Olivia curse is
• 42:54
  real. We have to make like T-shirts
• 42:55
  about that or something. Yeah, OK.
• 42:58
  Columbus acquires Connor Garland in exchange for a second round
• 43:02
  pick. Plus, this is kind of
• 43:04
  interesting, actually. Yeah, you said you wanted to
• 43:06
  dive into this a bit. I mean, it was just on Marchman
• 43:08
  get hurt. They did imaging on Marchman and
• 43:10
  they were like, OK, like it's not as bad as we thought.
• 43:12
  He's day-to-day for now. Connor Garland I think has been
• 43:14
  a guy like on Vancouver has been the most, I would say like
• 43:20
  effort giver, if that's even a terminology I could use.
• 43:23
  Effort giver. But he's a good player.
• 43:26
  He's a good player, He tries orange gives a lot.
• 43:28
  I think on Columbus is really going to succeed on their bonus.
• 43:31
  So I'm monitoring this. This is like watchlist for me.
• 43:33
  He could end up in a really good role given the injuries that
• 43:36
  they currently have. But I think he's going to be a
• 43:38
  top six guy with potential power play 1 exposure, most likely
• 43:43
  power play 2. But I think he could have
• 43:45
  fantasy value even in like 12 leagues that are deep.
• 43:48
  He could be a fantasy relevant guy.
• 43:49
  So keeping my eye on it. Yeah, I I agree there.
• 43:53
  I guess one quick follow up here.
• 43:55
  If Marshman is to miss time, do you think it's going to be
• 43:58
  Garland Monaghan who gets the power play?
• 43:59
  One I think it'll be Garland gets getting line one power play
• 44:02
  1. Thing OK, yeah, I think that's
• 44:06
  possible. And if that might be wrong
• 44:07
  either way, yes, if that does happen, this is maybe the best
• 44:11
  fantasy trade of the NHL trade deadline.
• 44:15
  Like this is maybe the most fantasy relevant one if that
• 44:18
  happens, like that would be tremendous.
• 44:19
  So OK, next, Dallas acquires Tyler Myers in exchange for a
• 44:24
  second round pick and a fourth round pick.
• 44:26
  Not financially relevant. Yeah he's tall.
• 44:29
  Maybe you still stream for blocks here and there if they
• 44:32
  have a good run of games for your for your specific theme,
• 44:34
  but that's. Yeah, OK, Tampa Bay is
• 44:38
  officially losing in the sound like up file finals because they
• 44:41
  acquired Corey Perry for a second round pick.
• 44:46
  I don't know. Yeah, it was it was a surprise
• 44:49
  actually. I.
• 44:50
  Mean we had Sarah Village like alright, officially Corey Perry
• 44:53
  is off the market. He is going to resign in LA and
• 44:56
  then like he gets moved like I think a day later or a few
• 44:59
  hours. Later.
• 45:00
  Yeah. Crazy.
• 45:00
  Yeah, this just makes him worse because there's no way he cracks
• 45:04
  PowerPoint 1. I will say there's a chance
• 45:08
  Corey Perry takes the Bjorkstrand spot on Power Play
• 45:11
  1. I know Hagel's been the guy
• 45:13
  there, but but Perry is the guy that knows what to do in front
• 45:15
  of the net. I would not be surprised if they
• 45:17
  actually try that. That would be pretty cool.
• 45:20
  That's the only way I see him having any fantasy value because
• 45:22
  the rest is just gonna be like a bottom six guy that's playing
• 45:25
  like probably power play 2 and that's it.
• 45:28
  Like same kind of thing like Horsey was on LA cause at least
• 45:30
  LA was getting power play 1 exposure for sure so.
• 45:33
  Yeah, we'll see. I mean I don't know if he gets
• 45:36
  that power Play 1 even for a few games like that is.
• 45:38
  Fun. That would be fun.
• 45:40
  Yeah, that's that's a but I I wouldn't count on that being
• 45:44
  like a mainstay. Like it's like if Conor Garland
• 45:46
  gets power play 1 tremendous. If Corey Perry gets it, it's
• 45:49
  like, OK, like, you know, maybe he'll stay on for a game or two,
• 45:52
  but like, I doubt he's gonna be rest of the season.
• 45:54
  Power play one. We'll have to see how it shakes
• 45:56
  out. Alright, Ottawa acquires Warren
• 45:59
  Fogel for a second. He's just like another
• 46:02
  Zetterlund, not not much to write home about here.
• 46:05
  Tremendous, super good looking and very cool.
• 46:07
  OK, anyway, Vegas acquires Cole Smith for 1/3 plus.
• 46:14
  He has some banger to him, but not nothing moving the needle
• 46:17
  here. Yeah, Buffalo acquires some
• 46:19
  Carrick for 1/3. Plus, same story.
• 46:23
  We have kind of angered. Yeah.
• 46:25
  You know, the Kings got depth moves.
• 46:27
  Yeah. LA Kings acquire Scott Lawton
• 46:30
  for 1/3. Anything there?
• 46:32
  I mean, Scott. Law Scotland's been like a a
• 46:34
  faceoff wins league darling because he's like when you're
• 46:37
  eligible and good in the power on the penalty kill.
• 46:40
  So he could have some exposure there.
• 46:43
  I think he'll be a bottom six guy that, you know, gets you
• 46:47
  penalty kill exposure. Maybe he'll get you some
• 46:48
  shorties if you have that, but I'm not picking him up just for
• 46:50
  that. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
• 46:53
  OK, Next we have Elmer Soderblom to Pittsburgh for 1/3.
• 47:00
  Nothing fun. It's relevant here.
• 47:02
  Michael Bunting to Dallas for 1/3.
• 47:05
  It could. Be I know you like Bunting, but
• 47:06
  I think his best days are behind him.
• 47:08
  Yeah, I guess with how loaded and deep Dallas's lineup is
• 47:12
  already, there's pretty much no way that he's gonna be fantasy
• 47:15
  relevant next. This one actually could be huge
• 47:18
  IRL, but for this year I think it's fantasy irrelevant.
• 47:21
  Or sorry, let me rephrase. Relevant for fantasy, Minnesota
• 47:26
  acquires Bobby Brink in exchange for David Yurachek.
• 47:30
  The fall of David Yurachek needs to be studied.
• 47:32
  What happened there? First of?
• 47:33
  All I don't even know. I don't even know.
• 47:35
  He had so much hype and it just has not been able to succeed
• 47:38
  anywhere. So I mean, I think that I think
• 47:42
  that Bobby Brink is actually a pretty good player.
• 47:45
  He actually is a good player. Yeah, and you know what, I don't
• 47:48
  even know if it's necessarily fantasy irrelevant to 100%
• 47:51
  because right now they got him slotted in on that second line
• 47:55
  with Boldy and Eric's neck. That could be pretty good,
• 47:57
  actually. Is he available in our league?
• 48:01
  People in our league, I just think the minutes were not going
• 48:03
  to be there because I don't expect him to get much special
• 48:05
  teams time. So even with the line 2 that I
• 48:08
  don't even know if it's going to stick, I think it's going to
• 48:10
  average around 1314 minutes and I don't think that's enough to
• 48:14
  be fantasy relevant. In the past he's had some shots,
• 48:17
  his combo to him that made him kind of stream worthy, but I
• 48:20
  just don't know if that's going to be sustainable on Minnesota.
• 48:23
  So I think it's more of like a better NHL move than a fantasy
• 48:26
  move, but you never know with how things shake out.
• 48:30
  Yeah. And then David, your check I, I
• 48:32
  mean, I don't know if. He's gonna no, no.
• 48:34
  Like a spot in the lineup. There, I don't even wanna talk
• 48:36
  right because he's so bad. Yes, yeah.
• 48:39
  OK. Next, David Perron to Detroit.
• 48:45
  He did play there before. Yeah.
• 48:47
  Maybe he'll be OK. Timothy Lilligren to Washington,
• 48:51
  then we have Blankenberg to Colorado, David Kampf to
• 48:55
  Washington. And these are all for like 4th,
• 48:57
  5th and 6th round. Yeah.
• 48:58
  By the way, Lucas Reichel to Boston.
• 49:01
  Maybe there could be something there.
• 49:02
  One. Day, but put them on your watch
• 49:04
  list. That's pretty much it, yeah.
• 49:06
  Exactly. Tanner Pearson to Buffalo, Nick
• 49:09
  Delorie to Carolina. Like, the most Carolina move you
• 49:13
  can make feels like, yeah, I mean, this course they traded
• 49:18
  for Nickelodeon. Nick Delorier will have more
• 49:20
  success in Carolina than Mikko Rantanen.
• 49:24
  But there's your headline. Alright, minutes, Minnesota
• 49:31
  acquires Geoff Petrie. Nah, I think it's the best.
• 49:35
  Days are behind. Him, yeah, you cannot define
• 49:38
  trade them for Panarin Dison. Yeah.
• 49:41
  Ryan Strong. Yes, Yeah.
• 49:43
  There you go. Sorry, all those focus on the
• 49:46
  next one already, but yeah, that was still can't believe that
• 49:50
  that actually happened. OK Ryan Strome to Calgary, Nick
• 49:53
  Felino to Minnesota. Gotta cool brotherly reunion
• 49:56
  over there. That's interesting.
• 49:57
  That one I will say like on Chicago, he's had some points of
• 50:00
  time where he's been like a good like shots face off wins, hits
• 50:03
  blocks type of player with some Pimms and depending on the
• 50:06
  exposure he gets you some power play points on Minnesota's role
• 50:09
  is gonna be like third line kind of enforcer.
• 50:11
  See he's gonna play like a shutdown role.
• 50:13
  That third line is going to be Nick Felino, Michael McCarron
• 50:16
  and and Marcus Foligno. And that's just going to be a
• 50:20
  line that you do not want to play against in the real NHL
• 50:23
  because that's going to be brutal for your bodies.
• 50:27
  So I I see him as like kind of like a, a Braden Channel light
• 50:31
  where he can hit all those categories.
• 50:32
  But it won't be like for as high levels.
• 50:35
  So just you're trying to deep like 14 team league that has
• 50:38
  like all the categories like our league of record.
• 50:41
  He might have some value, yeah. Might as well a lot of things.
• 50:46
  I really think Minnesota is going to be such a wagon.
• 50:48
  Going they're they're strong team, it'll be an upset if they
• 50:51
  got like bounced in the first round.
• 50:53
  Yeah, OK. Next we have Vinny Hinestroza to
• 50:58
  Florida. By the way, Felino and and
• 51:01
  Hinestroza, that's for future considerations is not even for
• 51:03
  a. Pick man the guys getting
• 51:04
  treated everywhere future. Consideration.
• 51:06
  Yeah, exactly. His parents.
• 51:08
  Must be so proud. Alright, alright, San Jose
• 51:16
  acquires Jet Woo. Woo Vancouver, an Exchange
• 51:19
  podcast staple Baby we we mentioned every episode.
• 51:22
  Yeah, exactly. We're talking about him all the
• 51:24
  time. And exchange for Jack Johnson to
• 51:28
  Vancouver, It was really good. All right, you're on a roll.
• 51:33
  And then last but not least, Chicago acquires Derek Polio 2
• 51:38
  for and they send Aiden Thompson to New York Rangers.
• 51:42
  Those are all the trades. Like we said, the top ones were
• 51:46
  kind of fantasy relevant, but we didn't get the blockbusters.
• 51:48
  No trail track, no Robert Thomas, no Jordan Kyrou, no
• 51:51
  Bennington, no Bobrowski. Disappointing, but I guess maybe
• 51:54
  we'll see some moves in the offseason.
• 51:56
  Yeah, OK. Now we got some big signings
• 52:00
  from this past week. We could also go through these a
• 52:03
  little quicker and of course, you know, dive into, I think the
• 52:06
  top 2 are kind of relevant to actually key for Sherwood 5 *
• 52:10
  5.75. So five years for 5.7 million.
• 52:13
  I think you wanted 6,000,000. So yeah, this is like, I guess a
• 52:16
  compromise. Yeah, he could.
• 52:18
  He could be very good on the Sharks.
• 52:21
  He was how it shakes out. Yeah, he was exciting because we
• 52:25
  saw him get lined, one power play, one for a little bit, then
• 52:28
  he lost that deployment right away.
• 52:30
  And then they were like, OK, we're shopping this guy because
• 52:32
  we can't sign him long term and then he ends up signing
• 52:34
  long-term. So happy to have him on the
• 52:35
  Sharks. I think it helps celebrity and
• 52:37
  the team. I mean, they're gonna make a
• 52:39
  playoff push for this year as well.
• 52:40
  So that's that's fun for them. Yeah.
• 52:43
  And I mean I think sure what you can expect the same old same
• 52:46
  old. Since you are healthy, so
• 52:49
  February 4th from February 4th to March 6, OK, these are his
• 52:52
  hits 482958 what does? And his shots have been
• 52:57
  tremendous as well. His shots have been the guy that
• 53:00
  gets you some Pimms too, so if you plan a Pimsleur, he's
• 53:02
  hitting that too. Yeah, and like any points or
• 53:05
  just the cherry on top, so good to know that it's shots, hits
• 53:07
  have stayed very much alive in San Jose.
• 53:12
  Next we got Jordan. Really.
• 53:13
  Two years, 5.5 million. That's my captain.
• 53:18
  This. Yeah, that's a lot of money for
• 53:21
  a guy of his age, I think. But it's only two years, so it's
• 53:25
  fine. Yeah.
• 53:26
  I think this is just the prototypical middle 6 winger at
• 53:29
  this point. So yeah, he's the one in
• 53:32
  Seattle. I wouldn't say, OK, tremendous
• 53:35
  year compared to what he's done like previously, he's been very
• 53:38
  decent. For what you're expectations
• 53:39
  are, he's overperforming. Yeah, they're, they're that's a
• 53:43
  better way to put it. But yeah, he's done, he's done
• 53:45
  well. So I actually think he kind of
• 53:47
  deserves this. Like, I don't know if it's
• 53:48
  necessarily an overpay, but for fantasy, like he will continue
• 53:52
  playing on Seattle and I would expect the same, more of the
• 53:55
  same rest of season. JG Pago 3 years, 4.85 million.
• 54:00
  Category Darling. Yeah.
• 54:02
  And I don't think that this like signing necessarily means in any
• 54:05
  way, shape or form that he'll be lined to centre over Shen.
• 54:08
  I still think. It's gonna be on line too.
• 54:09
  Yeah. I think it's just signing him
• 54:11
  long term. They love him as a line 3 and
• 54:12
  he's an excellent line 3 CD penalty killer.
• 54:15
  Yeah, then we got Alex Nedeljkovic, 2 years, 3 million.
• 54:20
  When this happened, I was like, alright, are they moving?
• 54:22
  Ask around somewhere? But no, I think it's just
• 54:24
  showing off their backup position.
• 54:25
  They've what they've seen from the Elvish this season and they
• 54:28
  just yeah, they're happy with him being the backup for the
• 54:31
  next few years. Yeah, OK.
• 54:33
  And then Ryan Paling, 4 years, 3.75 million.
• 54:37
  This one was kind of interesting.
• 54:38
  I was surprised. Yeah, I was surprised too, but I
• 54:41
  guess depth, depth, you know, piece for the Ducks and they're
• 54:46
  happy with. Yeah, yeah, I think there was
• 54:49
  one point in time where Ryan Paling had the most points per
• 54:52
  game of any player to have ever played in the NHL.
• 54:54
  Cause he played one game with the hubs and got like 4 points
• 54:57
  and then it has never been the same.
• 54:59
  Yeah, I thought he was gonna be the next dressed, didn't you?
• 55:03
  Just do a lot of who said paling, OK?
• 55:10
  Is Nederland. Alright, moving on here are the
• 55:16
  injuries currently going on a lot of day to days, but some
• 55:20
  ambiguous situations. So Ryan O'Reilly is currently
• 55:23
  day-to-day. Eric Holla likely to replace him
• 55:26
  on power. Play one in the meantime.
• 55:28
  Did you see what happened to him?
• 55:29
  Like they took a face off and he kind of like face planted.
• 55:32
  I don't know how exactly that happened, but he got like
• 55:34
  something to his face, but it was like more minor than you
• 55:37
  anticipated. So I think he's just might miss
• 55:39
  a game or two and that's pretty much it.
• 55:41
  I think it was well timed with a deadline.
• 55:43
  They like we can hold them out and maybe we get a deal.
• 55:45
  But he's still on Nashville. Yeah, Yeah.
• 55:48
  So he, he's really good this season.
• 55:51
  So I mean, if he misses anytime, that's a big blow to your
• 55:53
  fantasy team. Otherwise, like not much to add
• 55:56
  there. There's no, it's not necessarily
• 55:58
  that necessarily that he's gonna be out for a while.
• 56:00
  But Marchment, who is currently day-to-day that we spoke about
• 56:04
  already, Sean Monahan or Connor Garland, we both think Conor
• 56:07
  Garland. I'm curious.
• 56:08
  I'd be curious to know what Josh thinks about this actually.
• 56:10
  But yeah, if he misses, like there is a chance he misses
• 56:14
  time. You were saying, right?
• 56:15
  Yeah, Marshman was ambiguous. Did some imaging on him and it
• 56:19
  came back negative, which was good news.
• 56:21
  We just don't know how severe the injury is either way.
• 56:25
  So it's like a day-to-day thing, but it might end up being one of
• 56:27
  those day to days that ends up being week to week, especially
• 56:30
  for them leading into the playoffs.
• 56:32
  I think this really helps Connor Garland, like they just traded
• 56:34
  for him. He can be like the same type of
• 56:36
  player as marchment. So it would be like a straight
• 56:38
  swap in my in my eyes. But for all those guys that
• 56:41
  were, you know, holding marchment, I think I would be
• 56:45
  easily cutting and just replacing with the next guy up
• 56:48
  so. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 56:51
  And I guess they have two spots on Power play 1 potentially open
• 56:55
  right now because Charlie Coyle is also being held out of the
• 56:58
  lineup on. Saturday, I think Jimmy was
• 57:00
  like, really just he might miss one game, so by the time you're
• 57:03
  listening to this, he might already be back.
• 57:05
  Yeah, he's been so good. He's in sacred ridiculous.
• 57:09
  Like actually like what you want for fantasy, Like like this is
• 57:13
  like, I hope, I hope to get this out of Austin.
• 57:16
  Matthews season. Actually not.
• 57:21
  To pick up Charlie Coyle, so hopefully you guys are because
• 57:24
  he is bringing a lot of fantasy success right now.
• 57:27
  Yeah, if you're in a bangers league with face offs like
• 57:29
  there, there's no way he should be like on for free agency
• 57:33
  anymore. It's not he has to be or who.
• 57:35
  Could have expected this culture change to to make the line 3
• 57:38
  centre like insane no? Yeah, No, no, this is yeah, this
• 57:43
  is a must, must pick up anyway. But he is currently hurt.
• 57:46
  So if it's short term, of course.
• 57:49
  Yeah, I think, I think the main idea here is that if any of them
• 57:53
  missed time, I think Garland's the one with the opportunity of
• 57:56
  both missed time. It'll be come on out in Garland
• 57:58
  as the replacement. But I think Garland is the more
• 58:01
  relevant 1. Roope Hintz day-to-day.
• 58:03
  Jamie Benn to take his spot on power play 1.
• 58:06
  I still think Maverick Bork is an awesome dude, but I don't
• 58:09
  think he's gonna. I don't think he's going to get
• 58:11
  it there. Sucks for Rupee because he had
• 58:13
  not played since the Olympics. He was like quote UN quote
• 58:16
  illness for like 4 games and then the one game he comes back
• 58:20
  he gets hurt in it. So we'll have to see.
• 58:22
  We do not have any information right now on how severe the
• 58:24
  injury is or what it looks like, so we'll have to see.
• 58:27
  But root rope. Hence Caracara corrected us.
• 58:32
  Yes, saying it's it's a rope hints.
• 58:33
  I have the bad habit of saying rope, so I'm really sorry.
• 58:36
  So rope, rope hints he's known to be a little squishy.
• 58:40
  So I will say would I be surprised if Dallas is just
• 58:45
  like, alright, we do not want to risk our no playoff integrity.
• 58:48
  Let's just kind of like be careful with this guy and they
• 58:50
  shut him down. That would be even better for
• 58:52
  Matthew Shane. It would be even better for
• 58:53
  Jamie Benn, who played an elevated role, can deliver so
• 58:57
  and monitor this closely. Yeah, yes.
• 59:00
  Well said then. Shane Gostisbehere day-to-day.
• 59:03
  Nikisha's likely to be the replacement over there.
• 59:06
  This sucks. I have Gauss despair.
• 59:08
  I'm mad, yeah, it says. I mean, talk about Squishy.
• 59:13
  He's always potentially, Yeah, there's always a chance Like
• 59:15
  bosses, bears heard. Which is sad, but I've just been
• 59:18
  so good this year when healthy. She's been insane.
• 59:20
  Like that was actually one of your best fantasy trades this
• 59:23
  year. Like earlier this year was
• 59:25
  really, really good for you, I think.
• 59:27
  But Nikishin, I mean, he kind of fell off the face of the Earth.
• 59:30
  Like he was a big name earlier in the season you talked about a
• 59:33
  lot that kind of fell off. Now we'll see if he gets becomes
• 59:38
  relevant again. They could play anybody else in
• 59:40
  that power play. One of causes personality.
• 59:41
  We've seen 100 Miller there before, so we'll have to monitor
• 59:45
  how that goes. But gossip spare like you IR
• 59:48
  plus and hopefully I'm not dropping until we have a clear
• 59:51
  picture on his timeline. Yeah, same.
• 59:55
  Sad. OK, yeah, next.
• 59:58
  Michael Sergachev also on my team day-to-day, Dursey or
• 1:00:03
  weaker, I think. I know you said Jersey, I think
• 1:00:06
  I'm saying Uyghur, but OK, I guess Jerseys already played on
• 1:00:10
  this power play 1. He kind of knows the ropes and
• 1:00:12
  we'll see. But I mean, they just acquired
• 1:00:14
  weaker. They gave up a decent return to
• 1:00:16
  get him SO. I think we couldn't even hold
• 1:00:18
  down the Calgary power play 1 the whole season like he's gonna
• 1:00:21
  hold down a quote UN quote more important unit.
• 1:00:24
  I just don't see it, but it's not impossible.
• 1:00:26
  They traded from maybe give him a look.
• 1:00:28
  I don't think it's long term. Like they didn't give us too
• 1:00:31
  much information either. It was kind of like a surprise
• 1:00:33
  that it was missing time. It was like, oh, he'll be a game
• 1:00:35
  time decision that he's not going to play.
• 1:00:36
  So my assumption is that it's gonna be day-to-day.
• 1:00:39
  So maybe he only misses 1-2 or three games and then he's back.
• 1:00:43
  Yeah, OK. Detroit, Dylan Larkin is
• 1:00:46
  day-to-day to take his spot on power play one probably JVR on
• 1:00:53
  line 1, though I actually think that maybe Casper can get a
• 1:00:56
  look. So that can be an interesting
• 1:00:57
  game or two to be a Casper owner if Florida does miss any time.
• 1:01:01
  They might put Casper, they could put calm for like one of
• 1:01:04
  those guys, one of the furs. No, it's not Casper.
• 1:01:10
  What? What?
• 1:01:11
  What are the ears? Yeah, there we go.
• 1:01:13
  That's pretty much it. But I don't think the lark is
• 1:01:16
  going to miss anytime. Yeah, that's my yeah.
• 1:01:19
  OK, yes. Yeah, And if Kenny Malkin
• 1:01:23
  suspended for five games, will Ben Kindle actually have an
• 1:01:27
  opportunity here? I don't think so.
• 1:01:30
  And I think Kendall is actually a really good player.
• 1:01:34
  But if you know so I think that the idea here is that maybe
• 1:01:39
  Kindle will get the spot on Power Play 1.
• 1:01:41
  I think it's more likely to be China Akov personally.
• 1:01:44
  Whoever it is will be valuable and we will talk about it.
• 1:01:48
  So yeah, still join the Discord if you haven't already, because
• 1:01:52
  that's why we're gonna break the news first, like who we're
• 1:01:53
  seeing on the practice reports, getting the power play one spot
• 1:01:56
  and we'll tell you to actively pick them up ASAP.
• 1:01:59
  But the yeah JS chemicals maybe a little biased.
• 1:02:03
  No, I, I I actually like, I like Kendall as a player too.
• 1:02:06
  I just think that that I think that is just more likely to be
• 1:02:10
  junior cop man. Pittsburgh isn't a tough.
• 1:02:12
  Situation. They lost Crosby, now they're
• 1:02:14
  losing Mulkin. It's yeah, they're really a
• 1:02:17
  little bit. The Metropolitan is super close.
• 1:02:21
  So this is this is a tough one, tough time to be a Stuart
• 1:02:25
  Skinner owner, let me tell you. Alright, let's get into the
• 1:02:30
  would you rathers. So the best segment in all of
• 1:02:34
  fantasy hockey. Do you would you rather than I'm
• 1:02:36
  so glad you made it until this part of the episode.
• 1:02:39
  If it's your first time here, welcome.
• 1:02:42
  I prepare 5 would you rathers one of each position left wing,
• 1:02:45
  right wing, centre defenseman, goalie and I usually try to
• 1:02:48
  split the difference between MY2 Co hosts Jake and Josh who is
• 1:02:50
  currently not present. But Josh gave me his answers
• 1:02:53
  over text, so I know where he is going and I'll ask you, Jakey,
• 1:02:59
  what you think. And ideally I split the
• 1:03:01
  difference is really good. So usually find trade value and
• 1:03:03
  also just like rest of season value for these guys, the would
• 1:03:06
  you rather usually are, let's say quote go bigger names.
• 1:03:09
  But now that the trade deadline is passed in almost every
• 1:03:11
  league, we're hovering over more like waiver wire guys or guys
• 1:03:14
  that are like 60% or less type of player or just guys that are
• 1:03:18
  more relevant. So let's get started with the
• 1:03:22
  first Would you rather this to me?
• 1:03:25
  We're talking centres. Who do you think is more
• 1:03:29
  valuable? Who would you rather have rest
• 1:03:32
  of season? Nazim Kadri, the new Colorado
• 1:03:36
  Avalanche potentially second line winger, or Charlie Coyle,
• 1:03:41
  the GOAT line 3C. Ah yeah, I OK, I'm thinking like
• 1:03:51
  I think without face offs. Yeah, but this is always full
• 1:03:55
  bars category league, so hit blocks, shots, Pimms just no
• 1:04:00
  face off wins because mostly do not play with face off wins
• 1:04:03
  hours does because we're crazy. Yeah.
• 1:04:06
  Well, no, the the reason I'm saying without face offs is, is
• 1:04:09
  just because like Kadri and and coil are basically neck and neck
• 1:04:13
  with that. And now country may not be
• 1:04:15
  taking face offs. If he's taking face offs then
• 1:04:19
  he's lined 3. And in that case I'd way rather
• 1:04:23
  coil. So I'm kind of having to think,
• 1:04:26
  which is nuts because coils also line 3, but it is so good.
• 1:04:32
  So I think that the way I'm looking at this is that you
• 1:04:35
  already have such tremendous, you know, production out of Coil
• 1:04:40
  that I, it has to slow down because it's just been so
• 1:04:44
  ridiculous. And I think Audrey's gonna be
• 1:04:46
  better moving forward cuz how can he not be?
• 1:04:48
  It's been just horrible in Calgary this season.
• 1:04:52
  So overall, I guess cadres got a higher ceiling moving forward,
• 1:04:58
  but I do think that Coil is the choice here because I think that
• 1:05:02
  the ceiling is not much higher considering if this is coil
• 1:05:05
  ceiling, then I don't know if he could be as good as this.
• 1:05:08
  And even with that, like how much how much worse is he
• 1:05:12
  actually gonna get? Like he's had this sustained
• 1:05:14
  production for for a while now. And yeah, I think I think my
• 1:05:18
  choice here is coil, which is crazy because coming into the
• 1:05:21
  season it wouldn't even have been.
• 1:05:23
  Conversation not gonna. Draft, I think about having
• 1:05:25
  Yeah. So coil not going coil.
• 1:05:27
  How about you? I'm also going Coil, and I mean,
• 1:05:30
  this is an exciting one because, you know, colleges got moved to
• 1:05:33
  Colorado. Everybody's hyped about it.
• 1:05:34
  You know, they were hoping for this.
• 1:05:36
  But Charlie Coyle, man, this guy is he, we need to put some
• 1:05:39
  respect on his name because I feel like nobody's giving him
• 1:05:41
  credit. It's just like, oh, do I stream
• 1:05:42
  Coil for now or whatever? Like this guy is a pickup and a
• 1:05:45
  mainstay now. Like he's, yeah, he's producing
• 1:05:48
  a basically a point per game pace.
• 1:05:50
  He's shooting above three shots a game is hitting, he's winning
• 1:05:54
  faceoffs, he's blocking, he's on the power play 1 like this guy
• 1:05:57
  is. He's a Jack of all trades at
• 1:05:59
  this point. And I don't think I see this
• 1:06:01
  changing rest of the season. Like the coach loves him.
• 1:06:03
  He's putting him in this opportunity.
• 1:06:04
  He's flourishing. So why would why would things
• 1:06:06
  change? I think Koji has a lot of what
• 1:06:08
  ifs at the moment. Maybe if we're talking in a week
• 1:06:10
  or two and he's, you know, line one power play 1 is a different
• 1:06:13
  question. But for the moment, I think
• 1:06:14
  there's no way in hell. Oh, that's believe.
• 1:06:17
  There's no way in bleep. There you go, sleep.
• 1:06:20
  I don't know if I don't know if it's actually believe or not,
• 1:06:22
  but I did not mean to say it. I said it.
• 1:06:25
  I I don't think it's a bleep. You gotta let us know it's a
• 1:06:28
  bleep or not. That's the one you catch
• 1:06:30
  yourself on? That's hilarious.
• 1:06:33
  But for me it's Coil and I think it's, it's pretty clear, but I
• 1:06:37
  thought it was definitely worth the question because everybody's
• 1:06:39
  talking about cage right now. I spoke to Josh, Josh told me
• 1:06:41
  also it's coil for him. Like I just alright, did not put
• 1:06:45
  the difference here, but still fun.
• 1:06:47
  No, no, I, I, yeah. I think we're thinking about
• 1:06:49
  this the right way, honestly. Yeah, he's yeah.
• 1:06:52
  OK, Alright, into the next one. Talking about right wingers,
• 1:06:56
  would you rather the most famous player on our waiver shows
• 1:07:00
  weekly, Matt Zuccarello, the plural of Matt Mats, or Beckett
• 1:07:06
  Seneca of the Anaheim Ducks, potentially the highest scoring
• 1:07:12
  rookie forward this season? This one's really, really good
• 1:07:19
  because first of all, let me say one thing.
• 1:07:25
  That's like leaning. Yeah, OK, I'm going to give my
• 1:07:28
  answer and then it'll let me know what you think.
• 1:07:31
  And I think the the difference will be split.
• 1:07:35
  I'm going Seneca. Hmm, yeah, I'm going Seneca.
• 1:07:40
  And the reason I'm going Seneca is because one, his shots hits
• 1:07:45
  have actually been really good especially.
• 1:07:47
  As of late. And this is just yeah, Juggalo
• 1:07:50
  does not really have .8 hits is actually not bad over the last
• 1:07:53
  30 days, but it's really not something that you can expect
• 1:07:56
  from him consistently. So that's it's so close to start
• 1:08:00
  that I think that that's what gives the edge to Seneca and
• 1:08:03
  additionally effective shots to be better and the points to be
• 1:08:08
  similar. Zuka just between the whole
• 1:08:11
  season, like, you know, you're getting, it's like you don't
• 1:08:12
  really get the fluctuations. You get the consistency of, you
• 1:08:16
  know, usually just under a point per game, the shots, the power
• 1:08:19
  play, like it's always there. Do you know the deployment is
• 1:08:22
  safe? Seneca has just been blowing up
• 1:08:24
  recently and we're like, alright, where, where does it
• 1:08:26
  stop? Where does it end?
• 1:08:27
  Where does it, you know, settle out the boat, the boat, the boat
• 1:08:31
  was low, the boat went up it's begin rocket ship and now rocket
• 1:08:34
  ship is tired, so be it might become boat, but where was boats
• 1:08:37
  out? That's there you go.
• 1:08:41
  Well said. But I think I think with this,
• 1:08:45
  you know, Anaheim is actually it's obviously been a roller
• 1:08:48
  coaster for them. Part of the reason that that
• 1:08:51
  Seneca kind of, you know, didn't perform that well is because
• 1:08:55
  one, he's a rookie. You can expect inconsistent
• 1:08:58
  inconsistency in 2. Leo Carlson was heard for
• 1:09:00
  awhile. They had some injuries that they
• 1:09:02
  were dealing with and now they're not they're healthy.
• 1:09:06
  So I think that with this rookie player, rookies get better as
• 1:09:11
  the season goes on. I expect Seneca to get better,
• 1:09:14
  not to get better, but to like maintain, you know, .8 to a
• 1:09:18
  point per game, which may be a little bit worse.
• 1:09:20
  But with the shots hits, I think that it makes up for the, let's
• 1:09:24
  say, point discrepancy that Zuccarello may have in his
• 1:09:26
  favor. I don't know if this is
• 1:09:28
  shocking, but I'm also going Seneca and.
• 1:09:31
  Actually, I'm surprised. Really, yeah, I think it would
• 1:09:35
  be in my nature to go zuccarello and just kind of take the bird
• 1:09:37
  in the hand and know that the consistency over the long term
• 1:09:39
  is good. But from what I've seen from
• 1:09:41
  this kid in the eye test like he is, he is nuts.
• 1:09:44
  I think if it was any other year, he probably wins the
• 1:09:48
  Calder. I don't think anybody was
• 1:09:50
  talking about it when coming into the year when, you know,
• 1:09:52
  Schafer, when you was gonna be any L, he was gonna be a top
• 1:09:55
  candidate. We knew Demi Debbie felt like it
• 1:09:56
  was his to lose going into the season where there's no way just
• 1:09:59
  doesn't win the caller, right? Seneca could have won it.
• 1:10:02
  He could win it still. I think I think she's gonna win.
• 1:10:06
  But like, you know, if Schafer wasn't Schaefer, Seneca would
• 1:10:09
  win it. But it's nuts.
• 1:10:11
  And this Anaheim team is starting to find its groove.
• 1:10:14
  They're getting healthier. I think it just means that, you
• 1:10:16
  know, the lineup becomes stronger.
• 1:10:18
  They're going to be a playoff team and a lot of it is because
• 1:10:21
  Seneca's scoring his shots, his combo really I think gives him
• 1:10:24
  the edge of Zuccarello. And I think the playoff schedule
• 1:10:27
  is also better right now for Anaheim in the playoffs.
• 1:10:31
  That's why those those two factors are what I'm projecting
• 1:10:34
  to be the difference maker here and why I want Seneca over Zuke
• 1:10:37
  because I think Sue is going to probably average the same amount
• 1:10:40
  of points in Seneca rest of season or maybe slightly above.
• 1:10:43
  I can see this being like a point 9.95 and Seneca being like
• 1:10:46
  a .85 point 9 type of player, which is still amazing for where
• 1:10:49
  you got him for. But the extra like hits on a 1.5
• 1:10:53
  hits or two hits plus the playoff schedule give me Seneca
• 1:10:56
  plus the potential of him just being you don't know where the
• 1:10:59
  ceiling is because he's so young and talented.
• 1:11:01
  Yeah. And that's it.
• 1:11:02
  Like that's, I mean, it's one game literally.
• 1:11:05
  But you know, the four games in week 25 versus the 3-4 because,
• 1:11:10
  because yeah, I don't have has a 334 and we have 21 to 23 and
• 1:11:15
  yeah. And who do you think Josh would
• 1:11:17
  pick? Zuccarello.
• 1:11:20
  He texted me he was going Seneca.
• 1:11:24
  Wow, you're really fucking right.
• 1:11:26
  I wish she was. Here, though, actually, so
• 1:11:27
  surprised. Yeah.
• 1:11:29
  Wow. OK.
• 1:11:30
  I can't believe that, actually. I know because that was a real
• 1:11:34
  struggle. It was like the coil wanted to
• 1:11:37
  me. I'm like, super confident.
• 1:11:39
  This one's a lot harder. So yeah.
• 1:11:41
  All right, let's go on to the next.
• 1:11:43
  One Alright, talking left wingers, would you rather Pierre
• 1:11:46
  Luc Dubois PLD to be mixed with BLT or Dylan Holloway of the
• 1:11:55
  Saint Louis Blues? Lettuce, tomatoes, or or asking
• 1:12:03
  the hard hitting questions over here.
• 1:12:05
  How? OK, it's so pretty hungry
• 1:12:08
  actually. Alright, so First things first,
• 1:12:13
  we have the same exact playoff schedule discrepancy as we had
• 1:12:17
  for the previous one, meaning Washington has a 334.
• 1:12:22
  Minnesota, this is week 21 to 23 has a 333.
• 1:12:26
  So better playoff schedule, buy one game but.
• 1:12:30
  You said Minnesota, did you mean St.
• 1:12:32
  Louis, Minnesota. Sorry, yes, Saint Louis also has
• 1:12:36
  a yes. Oh, St.
• 1:12:37
  Louis is a 234. Yes, my bad.
• 1:12:39
  Yeah, and Washington is a 334. So same story, one game, except
• 1:12:45
  here it's one game in week 2321, week 21.
• 1:12:48
  OK. Now that I kind of sort of
• 1:12:51
  landed that. Plane.
• 1:12:56
  That's true. I can't.
• 1:12:57
  I gotta stick with. I gotta stick with boats.
• 1:12:59
  No planes. OK, So what I think over here is
• 1:13:04
  that it is that PLD's gonna have like a really solid finish to
• 1:13:09
  the season, but I think that shots hits combo for Holloways a
• 1:13:12
  lot safer. So that's kind of my initial,
• 1:13:14
  initial thoughts. Overall, I think PLD will score
• 1:13:18
  more points and it is nice to have that slightly better
• 1:13:22
  playoff schedule. And I say that even though
• 1:13:24
  Holloway has been an absolute terror.
• 1:13:25
  You just think that it's come in bunches.
• 1:13:28
  Yeah, it has. I mean, on the season he like
• 1:13:31
  obviously he had that huge injury, but before the hand,
• 1:13:33
  like it was really inconsistent. Honestly, I think I'm going to
• 1:13:39
  go haul away here. I think that now that he's got
• 1:13:42
  like a bit more ice time, let's say, to to play with the
• 1:13:45
  Thomas's back. So we'll be playing with with
• 1:13:47
  better players. I think that I really do like
• 1:13:51
  PLD rest of season. But overall, Holloway can have a
• 1:13:56
  really, really strong finish. And yeah, I mean, I guess, I
• 1:14:02
  guess the big the big trade for them was folk.
• 1:14:06
  So they're they're yeah, true, true.
• 1:14:10
  I don't know if that necessarily affects his ice time Holloway,
• 1:14:13
  but there's a good chance that he's gonna play with Thomas rest
• 1:14:18
  of season. And I think that that could be
• 1:14:19
  really good for him. So yeah, I'm going to go.
• 1:14:21
  And they're on a three-game win streak.
• 1:14:22
  So you're saying maybe they will end up second in the Central?
• 1:14:26
  Probably not. Yeah, I'm gonna go all the way
• 1:14:28
  here. That's also a really close one
• 1:14:30
  for me. Though, yeah, I think PLD has
• 1:14:32
  kind of like really been exciting for people since he
• 1:14:34
  came back from injury. You know, he started off with
• 1:14:36
  that first came back and he was hot, and then it kind of like we
• 1:14:39
  were like, OK, you power play one, but ended up not being that
• 1:14:42
  I'm going to haul away. And I think what you're going to
• 1:14:45
  get from Holloway right now until the end of the season is
• 1:14:47
  what you drafted Dylan Holloway to be.
• 1:14:49
  This is why he was Josh's signature pick going into the
• 1:14:52
  season. I think everything you held them
• 1:14:54
  for, you picked them up for. It's going to pay dividends
• 1:14:56
  right now because his deployment is finally settled.
• 1:14:59
  I think he's going to play with Robert Thomas the rest of the
• 1:15:02
  season and I think that could be trick for his value.
• 1:15:04
  We know he's a guy that shoots a lot and that hits.
• 1:15:07
  He'll hit you. He'll hit about like two hits a
• 1:15:09
  game. But the shots like from, since
• 1:15:12
  coming back from injury, he's played five games.
• 1:15:16
  He's had five hits, A5 shots and two of them six shots and one of
• 1:15:20
  them like that's just incredible value.
• 1:15:23
  The points have come in bunches, but I can see a stabilizing.
• 1:15:27
  It's really interesting to see how the power play shakes up.
• 1:15:29
  But I just think that he's going to be a banger category stud
• 1:15:31
  with a high shot volume, some hits, playing with a top end
• 1:15:35
  centre who's finally healthy. You know, it's a little too late
• 1:15:38
  for the Saint Louis, I think in the regular season, but it
• 1:15:39
  doesn't mean not gonna try to finish the season strong.
• 1:15:41
  They already know this hold off. Their best players are not
• 1:15:43
  they're playing with house money at this point.
• 1:15:46
  Just going to go out there, play, have fun and I think he
• 1:15:48
  can be really valuable. PLD could be also valuable, but
• 1:15:51
  just think hallways could be better.
• 1:15:54
  Yeah, I, yeah, no, I it's, it's super tight.
• 1:15:58
  I think, I guess I think PLD gets more points.
• 1:16:02
  Maybe it's close enough but with the shots combo I think Holloway
• 1:16:06
  is the choice here and Josh is going Holloway for.
• 1:16:08
  Sure. Yeah, Josh is going Holloway.
• 1:16:10
  Yeah, yeah. I knew it.
• 1:16:13
  All right, let's see this next one.
• 1:16:15
  Talking about defensemen here, just want to be a little bit
• 1:16:18
  surprising, but would you rather Philip Veronik with the
• 1:16:21
  Vancouver Canucks, the last man standing, or John Carlson, newly
• 1:16:25
  acquired Anaheim Duck? Hmm.
• 1:16:30
  I mean, just like caliber of players slash past fantasy
• 1:16:33
  relevance. Obviously that the initial
• 1:16:36
  instinct is for sure for sure Carlson.
• 1:16:38
  But if you look a bit more into it, Ronix actually been really
• 1:16:41
  decent as of. Late has been decent and you
• 1:16:44
  know he's going to be the power of the one quarterback they got,
• 1:16:46
  nobody else. Yeah, I guess the the boolean
• 1:16:49
  experiment is not is not coming to fruition this year so far.
• 1:16:53
  So yeah, I mean, do you think there is a chance that they they
• 1:16:58
  play? Buyer No, I think it's just from
• 1:17:00
  because yeah, I think it's just chronic.
• 1:17:02
  I see. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:17:05
  I mean, I mean, the obvious, like the crux of this question
• 1:17:08
  is that John Carlson's ambiguous for Power Play 1, where Sonic is
• 1:17:12
  is a mainstay. Nevertheless, I think that
• 1:17:15
  Anaheim's gonna score a lot more, and even without the Power
• 1:17:18
  Play 1, he could be valuable John Carlson.
• 1:17:21
  Plus I expect you know better shots, hits, etc from him.
• 1:17:25
  Chronic hits a. Lot more than sorry, not his
• 1:17:28
  Carlson I meant I meant shots because even the blogs are kind
• 1:17:31
  of in the same. Chronic shoots more than John
• 1:17:33
  Carlson too, I believe. Lana season.
• 1:17:36
  No, but it's been like kind of like an up and down situation
• 1:17:39
  for Carlson. So look, he's got that looming
• 1:17:42
  injury too. But even with that, like I just
• 1:17:45
  think that Vancouver is gonna not be scoring many goals rest
• 1:17:47
  of season. I'm gonna go Carlson here
• 1:17:49
  because I think that the ceiling is higher and that's why I would
• 1:17:51
  like I wanna go for the ceiling instead of the floor if I had
• 1:17:55
  the opportunity to pick up both of them, which obviously is not
• 1:17:58
  the case. 91% owned for Carlson. But yeah, just who would I
• 1:18:01
  rather have on my team? Like I think I'm happier with
• 1:18:03
  Carlson in this case, floral or ceiling higher, but I think like
• 1:18:07
  the median outcome or or such would be in Carlson's.
• 1:18:11
  Favor, I'm going Carlson to Josh is also going Carlson.
• 1:18:14
  I think the wow, the crook of the question here was more the
• 1:18:19
  ambiguity of John Carlson where he's going to line up shoots
• 1:18:23
  more, but it's it's very up and down.
• 1:18:25
  I think running you're getting like a a very stagnant level of
• 1:18:29
  production. It's just not an exciting
• 1:18:31
  because you know he's not surrounded by a lot of talent.
• 1:18:34
  I think John Carlton has a lot of higher upside even though the
• 1:18:36
  floor might be lower. I think it was more like, would
• 1:18:39
  you rather Veronica on power play one or John Carlson on
• 1:18:41
  power play 2? I think that's a tight question,
• 1:18:45
  but to be honest, give me the the swing of John Carlson and
• 1:18:49
  what that represents for your fantasy chances.
• 1:18:52
  Like you win fantasy by taking risks like this.
• 1:18:54
  This might not even seem like a risk because Chronic just does
• 1:18:56
  not have much name value. But at the end that you're
• 1:18:59
  looking at deployment that has a lot of pull.
• 1:19:00
  But I think John Carlson is just the guy you got to go with.
• 1:19:03
  I feel the exact same. Yeah, OK.
• 1:19:06
  No different split. Yet no, it's crazy.
• 1:19:08
  I mean, it's hard with these waiver guys or lower.
• 1:19:11
  Levels close, though, like, yeah, like, especially the
• 1:19:13
  Seneca one, like that's like, really.
• 1:19:15
  That really ate me up inside. Yeah, honestly, like they've all
• 1:19:19
  been. Good fun.
• 1:19:20
  Whoa, OK, alright, next one next door.
• 1:19:24
  Talking about goalies, would you rather the GOAT, the man that
• 1:19:29
  should have been traded, Jordan Bennington, or the demise of the
• 1:19:34
  Edmonton Oilers, Tristan Jarry? Rest of season?
• 1:19:37
  That's brutal. Yeah, I'm going Bennington here.
• 1:19:42
  Well, no one this one at all. Yeah, No, this one to me is not
• 1:19:46
  even that close. I mean, like, I just, I actually
• 1:19:49
  think Bennington is a better goalie.
• 1:19:52
  And Jerry, Jerry sucks. Like Jerry's not good.
• 1:19:56
  He's. Salads out here, I don't know
• 1:19:59
  what to say. Like I I don't like I I actually
• 1:20:03
  think that like you could have aimed lower on the other side,
• 1:20:06
  real honest, like you were being kind of generous and all that.
• 1:20:09
  Bennington is tremendous and I actually think he will lose
• 1:20:11
  starts to Hoover, but at least he's like, OK, like, you know,
• 1:20:16
  he's good. He's a good goalie.
• 1:20:17
  It's just, yeah, I think there's.
• 1:20:19
  More to issue Jerry, I think he just sucks.
• 1:20:23
  No, and as much as I totally agree there.
• 1:20:25
  Like it almost doesn't even matter is like he'll find a way
• 1:20:29
  to lose Jerry since. Since January, Jerry has only
• 1:20:32
  posted two games. Over 901 of them was a 902 and
• 1:20:36
  the other one was a shout out against Vancouver.
• 1:20:38
  Every other game is like an 850 or below.
• 1:20:41
  Yeah, it's just exactly. He's been horrendous guys.
• 1:20:44
  His roster percentage is at 34%, but he's still, you know,
• 1:20:49
  probably in like a a split as the starter on an Edmonton team
• 1:20:52
  that should be winning games. Bennington is a split starter on
• 1:20:56
  the Blues who should not be winning as many games.
• 1:20:59
  But I think the quality difference here is definitely
• 1:21:01
  something that needs to be, you know, considered.
• 1:21:04
  So for you, it's like a no brainer.
• 1:21:06
  It's a Bennington no brainer. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:21:09
  OK. Can I ask a question and then
• 1:21:11
  we'll see what Josh said on this.
• 1:21:13
  Would your other Walstead or Jerry?
• 1:21:16
  Jerry doesn't think the gate amount of games are starting.
• 1:21:19
  There OK, fine, but it is but that's kind of like Walstead,
• 1:21:24
  but that's like more in the realm of I'm like oooh, you know
• 1:21:27
  what I mean like so so I actually think that look, I
• 1:21:30
  don't expect Saint Louis to have a strong.
• 1:21:32
  Finish and to be fair, we just, we just poo pooed on on Jerry's
• 1:21:35
  stats. But like Billington stats have
• 1:21:37
  not been amazing either. Like he's posted along below 900
• 1:21:39
  games. Like, he's not an incredible
• 1:21:42
  fantasy goalie this year by any means.
• 1:21:44
  No, no, no, he he's been bad. But like I I just jar has been
• 1:21:48
  worse. Like I I can't.
• 1:21:50
  I don't think Jerry. But the question is, do you want
• 1:21:52
  moving forward? Yeah.
• 1:21:54
  Yeah, Bennington like it's yeah, I think you're going Bennington
• 1:21:59
  too, if I had to. Guess I mean, I'm not just doing
• 1:22:01
  that. He's on my team.
• 1:22:02
  He probably won't be on my team for long.
• 1:22:04
  I, I streamed them hoping that he got traded and that didn't
• 1:22:06
  happen. But I, I just don't want any.
• 1:22:09
  It's just crazy. We're talking about the starter
• 1:22:11
  for the Edmonton Oilers who should be winning games, but
• 1:22:15
  they're not really winning as many games as you would expect
• 1:22:17
  right now and the quality is just not there.
• 1:22:20
  And I feel like he could lose the job at any moment.
• 1:22:22
  They're begging for somebody to just win a game.
• 1:22:24
  Hinton, I think he has some quality in him.
• 1:22:26
  Do I expect you to come out a lot on this same Blues, Saint
• 1:22:29
  Louis Blues team that is, you know, that's sold at deadline?
• 1:22:33
  No. But I think he has some good
• 1:22:34
  games in him. I'm going Bennington as well.
• 1:22:38
  Josh is going Tristan Jarry, what I know that this is the one
• 1:22:43
  that's split the yes. This is the one with the
• 1:22:45
  difference. I think Josh keep my reasoning
• 1:22:48
  for what Josh thinks and he can maybe explain it on the next
• 1:22:51
  episode, but I think he would be like it's just a starter on
• 1:22:54
  Edmunds team is gonna win more games.
• 1:22:56
  They both suck so might as well give me one on the better team.
• 1:22:58
  I think that's me. I'm worried.
• 1:23:00
  About him, I'm like, this is actually concerning.
• 1:23:02
  No, no, come on, I get it. He is very.
• 1:23:05
  Sick. So maybe that's coming into
• 1:23:06
  play. Yeah, obviously the logic is
• 1:23:09
  there. He'll be fine, by the way, for
• 1:23:11
  anyone concerned. Yeah, well, he's down at the
• 1:23:13
  devil. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:23:15
  But that's funny. No, I'm surprised.
• 1:23:18
  I really think that that Bennington's like the obvious
• 1:23:22
  choice here. Like, not that this is like a
• 1:23:25
  normal, normal way that we do this, but I think that of the
• 1:23:28
  ones that we do, Seneca was the hardest one for me to choose and
• 1:23:32
  Jared and Bennington was the easiest one.
• 1:23:35
  Yeah, I saw your hesitation levels and there were nowhere to
• 1:23:38
  be found on the Bennington one, which I'm not shocked by, but
• 1:23:42
  nonetheless, I'm happy with the difference, at least one of
• 1:23:44
  them. The thing is, it's a worthwhile
• 1:23:47
  question. I just don't.
• 1:23:48
  First of all, I don't know if I'd rather been excited over
• 1:23:50
  Hofer, and second of all, I don't know if I'd rather Jerry
• 1:23:54
  over Ingram. So.
• 1:23:57
  There's also like a whole other thing, you know what I mean?
• 1:24:00
  Like, that's like another element to this equation.
• 1:24:02
  But no, I think, I mean, yeah, it's a, it's a thinker.
• 1:24:09
  But no, Bennington is the choice here for me.
• 1:24:12

  Obviously I Can't Sing, but I I'm like I'm.
• 1:26:06
  Doing it there at some point I'm.
• 1:26:08
  Trying to imitate Josh, like I'm trying to like channel the way
• 1:26:11
  Josh sings it. So I'm like banking on like the
• 1:26:14
  ability to imitate as opposed to like channeling any inner
• 1:26:18
  musicality to to sing. This is why they call them the
• 1:26:21
  best voice of this generation. Nobody, Bird.
• 1:26:24
  Yeah, whatever that is.
