Well, there's some things we can get into. We can start with some flames news that kind of took place over the weekend type time. You were saying last week, Connie, we didn't know if he was helping sympathizing with us or making our lives more miserable by having no news. Yeah. But now we're back and we're full shows.

Yeah, I sent him a text. Oh, thank you. You can get this. So that wolf extension is done? I think we're doing, I think we're doing shows next week. So if you want to announce that, that's a-ery thing. You can go ahead.

Thanks, Bill. There it is. Conrissary. RFA, no more. Three years. The annual cap hit, the average annual value, $3.775 million.

Cheap as chips, Dean. Cheap as chips. I think both sides, once we got into the, it's probably going to be short and out long. Should be happy with this. That gives Conner's area a nice runway to show that he can be a game-changing player

that deserves a massive raise. And for the Calgary Flames, you got three years potentially of a guy on a steel. Yeah. Now, what's, if you're good,

if you, they always could have had a matter of deal here. You could have signed them long term. You could have now in three years, you're going to have to really pay up. Or, no, this is absolutely the way to go.

I mean, which way do you lean? I lean short, but I know that we don't know what the long term numbers were. So they may have left some stunning 5.25 on the table times eight, but I would assume it'd be that camp would have looked

for the course. Coronado deal. I just think when this deal's done, you're going to have a really, really solid grasp of exactly what he is, exactly what he isn't, where he slots in your lineup, and you'll have a few of the older contracts expired.

I think this is a great deal for the flames, Dean. I agree that. I agree. And if Zeri wants to go earn more, he's got the opportunity, but all in all, right now, this is a flames win.

Yeah, if he's going to cash in big time on top of a 3.775 million a year, and the flames will be, tickled that they've got a player that's of that caliber yes and you know at three years you know i don't know if morgan frost in the organization or you're a center do you want to take his spot i you know like coleman's contract is up at that point if he even fulfills it in its entirety in calgary like you will hopefully have a franchise pillar core player scoops what got something where you got son on the cooker you got hiding regarding oh you're just talk about guys if if if he's still here

you know frost got two years left in his deal Coleman's got two years left in his deal. This deal will be up in three and three years is a lifetime. Lifetime, Dean. Right. It could be the best three years of his life. Think about where. So is 20. Keep going. Yeah. 20. Yeah. Uh, like Coleman's number or something else or time. Don't worry about 20. 20 is a great number. Great round. Yeah. It's a big. I think it's a great. I actually do. I think the flames win this. I yeah. When I saw it. What you said is true. If he wants to hit a home run at, That means you've got a guy under four that's crushing it. Yeah.

And you've got a core player that you're happy to pay. It's not like the cap in three years might be $125 million. Yeah. So he could have a massive payday. You could have a better trade is that what he is. I'm not to swear this year. Is that a swear? Ass.

Soft. Yeah. It doesn't feel too bad. You'd probably say that on network TV. Yeah. For Zeri, it's just it's 11.3 million dollars. your setup son you can buy a place at emma you're okay you can get a place go to candle or emma is that right is that what it's yeah i'm sure that's what he's thinking too yeah yeah yeah

get a place up in north sask you must love mosquitoes and pikefish yeah and smoke lots of smoke lately this lots of smoke so and blue green algae as well by the way that was an ideal this year is that good for the figure you don't want that no okay uh water levels team so is this just that this is the how long it takes to get deals done could this have been done a long time ago I wonder if it's Ceres Camp finally going you know what if you're going to be a D about it fine you and me are on the same wavelength here hey

I think Zaris camp would have been pushing for that Coronado deal and I don't think the flames were comfortable doing that yet and they'll say look show it and we'll give you the bag in three years this is Connie just knowing the business and he went back to Lake in New York phone me ready Connor and whoever you're in buddy is you know where to get

a hold of me here's here's where we're at I don't have a great cell service but I'll try to that's right yeah in and out and the other part of it is still at our FAA at the conclusion of this yeah it's the last year of team control so you'll have a chance to lock him in you're not walking them straight to you or anything scary like that a

four year deal was never on the table for that reason because you know what's the point of getting a deal on a guy if he's just going to walk at the end like he'll be in his prime and we'll have a really good idea of what he is is he durable he might be you know injuries are kind of fluky. He's had a bad run of them. Or is it one of those guys.

He's like, wow, shit. He has a pro. Or, hey, he's got 60 points. Well, no more in three years. Yeah. And look, the team had all the leverage. If you were Conner's agent and you really wanted to get something, how do you get it? Like, are you really going to hold Zerriotta camp after all the time you missed the last couple of years?

Don't do that. It doesn't work. It never works. Don't do it. And then it's like, you see guys that do that, like William Nealander a few years ago, like guys that miss camp, Swamen in last year. They don't tend to perform while. Drew Doughty once.

Is that right? Yeah, Drew Dowdy. Wow, I forget that one. Yeah, I remember that. So it does feel like Zeri in the Zeri side finally. It's like, okay, well, it's 11 million. Maybe there's a bit of movement, you know, to get that done. Probably their decision was take less in a two-year deal.

Yeah, I'll bet you there were. Three would be more than two and one would be the lowest number. I'm thinking they were like, do we actually go three or do we do two? Can we go one at two point eight? and do you want to buy yourself a little more runway to secure the huge bag? And that's still a huge bag. I want that bag. That's a great bag.

If I could get that bag. Yeah, I'd like to settle for 11 million for 11.3 to 5 million and feel like, well, you know what? Hey, it's okay. Yeah, sure. You know what it is? The sign of a good deal, both sides aren't really satisfied. That's what they say. If you were unsatisfied with 11.3, you'd be in a good spot.

I feel like Connie's probably satisfied. Yeah. he probably feels pretty good. Steve Earl. Jack, I won the bet. I never satisfied. That's right.

Yes, you did win the bat. What a son. You owe everyone pizza. That's the pizza bunny. What was the pizza? What was the pizza? You made fun of us for being out at Stampede

after the Stampede both first Thursday. I did. Yeah, you'll remember. Jack and I are at the Wild Horse tent. We run into Steinberg and Bender, big crew of people. Everyone's getting fired up for Stampede.

And we were. yelling to each other about the price. You guys wrote. And Jack's case was he's a better player than Frost. He'll make more than Frost. And I'd said, Jack, he doesn't have any leverage. He's not going to get as much as Frost. That is now played out.

And now he's saying I owe pizza. I'm confused because it was $100 bet I think. I was Jack. Yeah, because I beat Jared in a bet for $100. And then I took that. And you would have paid that. Yeah, I won that. And then bet you $100.

Which you subsequently lost. Yeah, so Penderos pizza. Correct. It's clear to me. What are you missing? Why don't we hungry? Get some sleep. Yeah, geez.

Dressed up, dude. Jeez. Sorry, guys. Long weekend.
