And I said, I wonder, would Kelly undo it already now that he's had room? And Rasmus hasn't been a disaster. Rasmus is what Rasmus is. Yeah, and they're not playing well. But they're not playing well. It hasn't. Did not have a great Olympics. Got healthy scratch twice in the five games.

With their record looks any different with Zach White Cloud? Probably not. Probably not. And you didn't trade him for this. If you want Rasmus to be an impact player in a playoff series and help you win a cup, but they and Edmonton do not look right. I read a stat earlier today. Vegas is not beat.

team in a playoff spot since November. They are not. I left the game yesterday. I said this for all year. They don't look like a team to me that I would be worried about playing. It was funny when Jack, Jack texted our group yesterday with the, uh,

Penguinos. I was watching, I had the Penguins game on. They were playing Vegas. And they got shut out. It was a five nothing by Pittsburgh. They looked. There,

there's, can I say this? well I can because I'm gonna I'm crazy I don't hold back Jack I'm crazy you're on Friday about this are there too many fat cats in Vegas

and by oh I don't want to play anywhere but Vegas oh life is good this is like they did not look like Vegas last year against the Oilers they don't look hungry because they were a team that was when you watched them win the cup and at their peak of the last five years

they bullied you they beat you up they hit you and they physically impose their will on you They don't do that right now. They did that to Florida the first time in the final. They beat the piss out of them. And that is a really hard way to play for a long time. Well, you've got to have the players, too, and I think they've gone and gone away from that a bit. Now, Rasmus has got some bite to him.

He absolutely does, but he had more bite at 22 than 32. And so does that white club. You're not sending out a soft guy to bring in a tough guy. White Cloud's got some edge too, right? I put them sort of comparable in the edge defense when they had Transylia. Yeah, that probably

You don't know what those pieces mean in the dressing room as far as leadership stuff. But there's something to be said. If you look at that lineup and go, well, you've got a bunch of guys that kind of, this is great, they chose to come here and they want to play for them. Yeah, it's pretty good in Vegas.

They also had really, really good goaltending a couple years ago with Hill and Thompson. And Hill hasn't looked himself. And Thompson's been a stud in Washington. They've rolled the dice on Carter Hart. They've also got to care. Shmade who hasn't panned out. That nutty guy from Buffalo.

Oh, I shouldn't see. Yeah, yeah. But the snake, a snake ring. Leonard. Yes. Revin Liner. Schmid's 25, to be determined, I guess. But he's about, he might be all waivers and someone else might get him before he's good.

But Aden's Hill, Aiden Hill, sorry, his contract, six and a quarter just kicked in. Doesn't have been good. She hasn't been good. That's goal. You know, there's some good guys that aren't having good years. Petrangelo is 36, hasn't played. may not play again.

I thought they said he was cooked. They're saying that we'll see. He had one more year in his contract. I was just looking at this. If they don't sign Rasmus, do they have to sign Rasmus? They've got Shade the Rasmus doesn't have to sign. Theodore's 30. He's got five years left, six years left.

Noah Hannifan's 29. He's got a bunch of years left. Braden McNabb, 35. He's got two more years. That's what they have. Caden Corsack is, he signed at 25. Their D is not imposing.

It used to be. It's not a murderer's row. And yeah, it's Eichel, Marner, hurdle, Stone. Hurdle to me, and again, I'm not. You want more?

Yes. When you see the size of them and the skill set, you're like, I either want you to score a 10 or to be more physical. It's all the tools. Those top three names,

you should be like, yeah, they're all 100 point plus. If you tell me, you got Eichel, Marr, and hurdle. I'm like, geez, like, that's a murder's role. You could start that line in the Olympics. Then you've got Stone as well, and who else?

Yeah, Stone. Like, Dorothea was a good young player. He's been really good in the power play. Scored us a ton. Barboshev's 30. Nice pickup from St. Louis a few years ago. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, it was just coming back to White Cloud.

It's, it already looks like a tremendous deal for the flames. Never mind to what Red alluded to. If Rasmus was like, oh, yeah, we're going to get one done. We got to wait till Petrangelo's contract's unloaded. So we have this room to get under the tagging for the office. We'll just wait. We got it in the drawer. He's like, well, hang on.

Are we not good? Because I still can go to free agency. That's, then you've really won the deal. Because for a rental to get White Cloud plus a first, plus a second. And this kid, weeb three weeks in a row is one defenseman of the, of the week in his conference. He looks like a very good pro on the way.
