Well, it's just another usual Monday down here in Marta Loop. Welcome to another edition of Barnburner. You know, unless the team you cover just traded their best defensemen or the football team you cheer for just fired their coach or you had kids in SOM minor hockey week or all the bills are arriving because it's blue Monday. Fucking blue Monday. Sorry for sure. Tough day at the ranch. I love you, boys. It's the Bill's Hawaiian shirt.

Got screwed over again. The shirt's 0 and 1, by the way. Sto. You know what? I've said it all along. Ruffs are idiots. There is. You've been consistent on that front.

It's just proven over and over. You can say I'm mean and rude, but. No, that's mutually exclusive. It can be rude and mean and refs. Rats are idiots. And they're terrible. Potentially all true. Bad humans.

Red who presents this program to our viewers of each, every day. That 365, which I failed that this weekend. All that's on doing it. Whatever the moment, it's never ordering yet. Beth 365, download the app today and use promo code nation. That's right. It's all over it.

Get in the game. I was excited. I've been good on the Saturday NFL games. Awful on the Sundays for some reason. While you're hung over on Sundays. I'm making the decisions midweek. It doesn't make any sense. It's probably just random, but not ideal. If you want to join the program today, we encourage you to do that.

We did a two-hour live stream, boom, myself, cameos from Pike and Gould on the Rasmus Anderson trade. We'll dive into that immediately. But if you're just catching up right now or you haven't had a chance to see any reaction, join the program, add a monetary donation to your comment. The money will go to the youth centers of Calgary, a place where kids are welcomed and accepted as they are, where they can flourish and get away from some of the chronic stress that potentially is in their lives, the money going to be. the use centers of Calgary very good. And your comments getting on the show potentially could be okay, maybe even good. Also, if you have any legal issues, we are in the McLeod Law Studios. Like, let's say you were a GM of a team and you were like right at the finish line of getting a deal done, but then someone else came in and tampered and the player went to a different place.

Maybe you've got legal grounds for action red. Maybe you need to talk to Shane King, who is in, you know, the dispute resolution group. Maybe there's recourse legally. Maybe there isn't. And that's just a hypatetic. There's nothing just, you're just making up things. Just, you know, idea of things that might happen in your life. If you have a legal issue, get some people that know what they're doing, get some

Calgary people, get the people that know how this city works and the people to trust McLeodlaw, McLeod-law.com, our partners. Thank you, McLeodlaw for a support. the studio. Rhett? I hadn't even thought about it that way. The Calgary Flames, starting on about Tuesday of last week, it felt like we're very close to moving Rasmus Anderson.

It got to late Thursday night and late Friday night, and it was reported by insiders at the Bruins and the Calgary Flames had a greed and principle on a trade and that Rasmus Anderson and the Bruins were well down the road on an extension. Sunday morning, Rasmus Anderson woke up, told the flames there would be no extension. That changed the number of teams that were in on Rasmus Anderson, and they moved him to the Vegas Golden Knights as a quote, rental for a first rounder in 27, a second rounder in 28 that can turn into a first rounder if they win the cup this spring. Four, five, right shot, sturdy

defenseman, Zach, White Cloud, and third year college player, Abram Weeb of British Columbia. your thoughts on the Rasmus Anderson rental trade. I'm going to go back all the way to where Anderson came from. Second round pick comes along, absolutely plays his ass off for the team. He's on a team friendly deal forever, it felt like. Maybe the most value contract in the history of the flames. Certainly the most out of venture level that Tree signed.

Yeah. You move them for pieces and use your pick wisely. And then it'll be fine. What I'm getting at is that if you look at Rasmus Anderson as a Calgary flame, it was damn fine. Really good player. Really good. The organization did well in picking him.

He did well in playing for them. He did well in being a good flame ambassador of what the flames represent. and they got assets in return for them. Was it as good as we wanted? No. I'm being level-headed about it. The Rasmus Anderson-Cagrey-Flames's career was a banana split without the cherry on top.

Sure. You know what I mean? Like it was real good. Will you look at it as a whole? Pretty good. Unreal. Second rounder to have that kind of a career, that's already just crushing the odds.

That's very unlikely outcome. And then at the end of a team-friendly deal where you've got them less than he's market value for probably five of the six years, you get to move them for another pile of future assets. Yeah. I think this is a great hall for a rental, but I think we all know he's going to sign in Vegas.

He's signing in Vegas 100%. Like when you looked at Noah Hanofin, they got a first in like two or three years and a guy that was 26 that you're like, eh, maybe he figures it out at the NHL level. Hanofen was quite a bit younger than Rasmus is now. I don't, not saying they're the exact same, but here they get a first and a second that can turn into a first

and a guy that's a much better player than Daniel Miramano. He's a four or five on a cup contending team. He's playing 18, almost 19 minutes a night for Vegas. And you get a prospect who's like, okay. Like that's a nice return for a rental. But the challenge is this isn't a bleep and rental. You know that Vegas was the preferred destination. And for whatever reason, Rasmus Anderson,

who was apparently incredibly close to sunny and his tension with the Bruins, woke up Sunday and said, nah, no extension in place, moved me as a rental. And I wonder, like, love Iggy. He kind of got them at the end with, yeah, I actually won't go to Boston, even though I said to go to Boston.

Did Rasmus just do the same here? Yes. And how do we feel about that? I don't like it. I mean, I don't like it. And that's why I'm trying to calm myself because I think Rasmus screwed us. That's the problem, is it?

It's his right. He can do whatever he wants. So to say he screwed us, we would have got a better deal from the kings in the summer and the brunes right now. Yep, no question because they're buying. You backed yourself into that corner. Anderson's played last year backed Craig into a bit of a corner. Their approach to things backs them into a corner.

Is it the worst thing in the world? No. Is it what's all that you want? No. But that's why I'm like, just pause. Because on one hand, I pissed off at Anderson because it's like, I mean, on anything, it's like, you're a professional athlete. you've played for what four and a half five million like dirt cheap forever and you want to

yeah you've so then is right you've learned it man and something might happen maybe he was at the one yard line and said you know what I'm allergic to ocean water I can't be that close to the ocean I've got to be in like I don't know if you want to play the Vegas is tampering card like that's certainly Vegas is tampering without tampering exactly they just This is how they do business. Yeah, they're the hot brown that walks through the bar. It's like, I'm not flirting. I'm not flirting.

Right? I'm just hanging out here. Yeah. Why you're standing? I'm just here. What do you mean? What? Why are you looking at me?

I'm just here. And the hot girl, the bar gets to go home with whoever they want. That's Vegas right now. They're picking that. That's how it works. It is tough to think of an interaction where the Vegas Golden Knights didn't get exactly what they want. Because here's the thing.

You can squint and say, okay, this is a, return for Craig and I think it is given that there's no contract and given like look they give up Chris Tanna for a second this is like world's bit of the second but it sure isn't a top prospect and a first today low rye which where you were talking about out of Boston which is what it was rumored to be and white cloud is significant low rye is a guy you're thinking you're going to pencil in your own lineup for five years eight yeah like long term you're going to that how he plays. Yeah.

White Cloud might be gone by Friday. I would like to see him gone by Friday because I think you'd get assets. My fear is that the hashtag winning culture people are going to say, we need to keep this guy around to keep us competitive when it's like, hello, this is when you bought him out. You just traded. Well, now you don't have to trade him this year either. Oh, you don't, which is the damn problem.

Whatever they don't have to trade a guy, they don't. But like, you've got five right shot defense when you move Rasmus. You're like, all right, now there's going to be more playing time for Bristevich and Preg. You're like, no, we still got five righties. What? How are you going to get this guy into the lineup? And Connie comes on with the rights holders after the train and said, yeah, I'd love to see Bristevich and

correct, pick up the slack on the power play. It's like, how are you going to get both those guys in the lineup? You better go down and talk to your coach. Correct. Get them. Yeah. Now, maybe you slide weaker to the left side, but like it's just, I think if you want to maximize the asset management game, like the return.

You flip White Cloud before the deadline, but I could just see these guys be like, what do you mean? He's got term left. Like they keep walking on. I'm going to put my foot into the bear trap again. Oh, I didn't expect that. Wow, that's what I'm actually wondering if like tree in Toronto,

Craig and all this stuff, it's like, is the return not good enough that you've learned a lesson where you're like, son of a bee, we could be way further ahead if we'd have approached this differently? The best part of this deal, isn't even the assets they got back. And then in theory, their own pick's going to get right up into the top three.

Yeah, you're trying. And if you keep White Cloud around, that sort of takes away that upside a bit, if you know what I mean. I don't know. Top five. I'm thinking top five pick this year is what the flames are destined for. I think there's other teams that are throwing in the towel just as the wins are. It's too. And, you know, when you look at that stupid lottery, if you finish fifth last or,

third what the hell's the different two percent three percent you're going to need some ball luck more no matter where you so we watched detroit finished dead last and picked fourth like yeah things happen so it's hard to but i i don't know what i honestly when like i said when i look at it as a whole because i think anderson was even used as a pick from a trade from ben sphen berti that's a hell of a run right like it's it but when you look at look at the other side, you're like, we could have had better and more. I couldn't help but think about, you know, the quotes we heard all summer that, like, Rasmus wasn't going to handcuff this team.

He wasn't going to say he was going to only go to one spot. And he didn't, but he basically said, I'm not going to extend. I'm going to handcuff her seat, but I'm not trying to get anywhere except where I want. They could trade him anywhere except six spots on his no trade. But the best package for a rental was Vegas because they know it's not. a rental. They're like, look, if we pay a rental prices, we think we got a 99 out of 100 chance of resigning this guy. Like, oh, our deal wasn't as good as Boston with an extension. We don't need an extension. We're bleeping Vegas. We're the hottest chick at the bar.

What's he going to say no to us? Ah. And, you know, they've seen, like I briefly mentioned it and then forgot to finish the point. If you're the Vegas Golden Knights, you get the flames to eat half of a guy that's probably already only making half of what he's worth. Oh, he is. And you get your first round or top 10 protected next year, which is insane. I can't. That's the one I didn't like, but I don't think they're going to it's not going to anyway. And it's, uh, and, and and and and like I think the flames did of them.

I look at it differently and maybe you're saying the same thing. I actually think if the flames did the right thing by eating half. And I think and I don't know because I want, maybe it allowed. Vegas to do more. Oh yeah. Which allows Vegas to maybe have a better chance at winning, which allows the flames a better chance at that, turned that into a number one pit.

Well, and when they're talking to Vegas and you're like, shit, this is going to be our best offer. Like, fuck, we've got their first this year. So what you do is you say, okay, well, we know they're going to be better if they get Rasmus. So if they're real good, like, you've got to give us another pick because you've sewered our Haniffin first rounder.

Yeah. So go Vegas, I guess. but you think about what it allows them to do. They only added like a hundred and some thousand dollars to their payroll. Yeah, that's a good. And now it's like if you can move out Carlson who's hurt or whatever you need to do, like maybe they go chase Panarin. Like they're not done.

It's Vegas. Like how easy is it for Vegas? It's an A plus deal. It can't go wrong. No. No. Like there's no downside here. Zero.

Like what are the chances Rasmus goes, ah, you know what? I don't like. Vegas. I'm out of here. Very low. Yes. Haven't heard that a lot from guys playing in Vegas. Yeah. What's the chance that me, this underwear model, saunter's into this pub off the side of the highway and can't find conversation. You know, it's like it's the dumb and dumber Hawaiian tropic that we're looking for some oil guys. Yeah. You'd have to be the biggest moron in the world.

Yes. It's just screw this one. Yeah. I don't know. So are we giving Craig shit? Are we giving Craig shit? You can't give Craig shit. I find. Here's the problem. Here's the problem. If you're going to do this when guys are in the last year of their deal, the agent and the player are going to run your show. Because it's going to be contingent upon extensions and where they want to play. If you don't want players and agents to run your show, trade them before their last year.

Which is fine if you're in a position where you know what your team is or accepting of what your team is, which the flames weren't and aren't traditionally. I look back at last year as a massive failure. I know how close they were to making the playoffs and you're proud of that group, but their own pick was top 10 protected. They could have given the 30 second overall pick to the Montreal Canadians in that trade for Monaghan. And instead it was pick number 18.

You could have had like Ben Kindle and Cole Reschney on your team right now. And instead you gave one pick away to Montreal so you could just miss the playoffs, not make any money, worsen your draft pick. It's peak pain. And if you traded Rasmus last year And you got a little more aggressive On stripping things back And you played the piss out of the kids

Rather than pretending this winning culture thing Is tangible or it makes money You'd be in a way better spot in this rebuild It'd be two years shorter. If you had Ben Kindle playing right now And Cole Reshney Or at least I don't know what they're going to draft It's just more assets.

They liked them But it's like Do you want two picks in the top 18 Or do you want a giveaway one in the top 18? do you want to give away one in the top 18 and pick at 32? And you could have moved Rasmus wherever you wanted outside of his 16, no trade. And I think Connie would have been open to that.

But I just don't think that philosophically this organization really understands that they're making this longer and harder and they're losing more money long term by slow playing a rebuild. You're still rebuilding. You're just doing it in slow motion. We're speculating. But did Rasmus play so poorly last year that his stock was that much less and he played so well this year that maybe they recouped some of it?

Potentially, but Brandon Carlo, who's a much inferior player, got a first and a prospect. And really, again, the most valuable thing is what it does to your own draft pick. If you could have got that into the top 10, you keep it. Instead you gave it to Montreal. Yeah, way to go. Congratulations, miss the playoffs. And again, like, I'd love to see them flip white.

cloud what's my fear don maloney talks about how this guy's a winner and this guy's a culture guy and this guy's going to keep us competitive i'm still I'm being that's my fear I know it would be your fear I don't think so I think I don't I read I'm hopeful

that they do it as well I think they will and I think that's why he's part of it was part of the deal and I think that there has to be recognition down at the dome there are a goal they've got 29 year old veteran Stanley Cup Two years left, low money.

Two years, low money. We've got to get them. The problem is if they do say, well, we'll just Don't wait till next year. Just don't. Move them this year. That's my concern. It's two years after this one.

We can move them in two years. And then, yeah, the player in the agent will run the negotiations again. Good work, everyone. Or he breaks his leg or he plays like shit or. Yeah, he's out of the league. Who knows? I think it's a great return for a rental. Like if you think you could get a second for Zach White Cloud in a deal,

and I think he could because he's like a coveted four or five, maybe more. Is he way less than a, or he would be less than a car. Like, Julian went for a second last year. And that's, he's a much better play than Brad Duma one. Like, I think this is the equivalent of about two first round picks. Craig got for a rental. It's just that it's not a rental. We're never going to know what the deal from the other team was.

Unless we knew exactly what it was and it fell through. But yeah. I mean, the rumor was obviously that Poitra, Lower Eye, and it could have been the higher of the two firsts between Toronto or Boston or one of the teams because they hold two. But yeah, we don't know.

That was the rumor. If you make a good pick with your drafts, whatever they are, the first of the second or two firsts, if the Vegas happens to win, I don't think they're going to. But. Please do. By the whole means.

Make a good choice with that pick. Yeah. If that guy turns out to be, a player, it's a home run. Yeah, go get another grid in or better. Go get a fucking Anderson. Yeah, sure. Hell yeah.

That's great. That is how they're going to be measured. They're not getting top prospects back in deals. They're getting picks. So you better be good with their picks. And to be fair, if I was going to grade Craig Connery, give him a report card on being a GM, the thing I'm most comfortable with is him at the draft. I think that's his strength, scouting.

I'm not there yet because all those guys that are still prospects to me, they're not playing. They're not contributing. I'm not saying they're here and they've arrived. I'm saying if you redid those drafts, a lot of those fling guys are going way high. So that's good work. Good work, finding guys.

I'm not critiquing it. I'm just, I'm not passing judgment. I'm going to wait because Hansuk hasn't done anything to show me that he's going to be impactful. He's been hurt lots. Yeah. Perak's not playing.

Who else? Reshny's still too young. Gridden, I think's going to be really, you got to play. Both. Bashah, been hurt, wait and see. He of Taglia, Scorniton, but he's in the old muse, broke a leg, he's a colleague. There's just, there's all these guys.

We'll wait and see how good they are, but I like that they've got lots of guys. I like that they've got lots of guys. I just always, I'm like, if you were with Carolina, they'd have lots of guys to. Yeah. Everyone's got lots of guys, and it's the guys that come in to make an impact that matter. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's fair. And it's still a system lacking a star.

There's a lot of solid player ceilings, but not a lot of like, oh, yeah, this guy's going to win a trophy. one day. Not of those guys. How are you sleeping, Jack? Are you fasting today? We haven't checked in with you. This is blue one day.

I'm fasting. It seems. Fasting on a blue Monday. He's over his Steelers loss, I guess. Yes, I am. A week. He gave it a week of morning. I would throw you right into the Sean McDermott fire, but we need a breather first.

So just like, I can't. It's already blue Monday. We just did the whole Rasmus thing again. There's two hours of that, by the way, on the reps are idiots. Reps are idiots. Jack? Yes. You're sleeping okay?

Yes, sir. You snore? I don't think so. You got to ask someone that's next to you when you're sleeping. It's the only way you know. Because there's a thing. If you're sleeping, you don't know if you're snoring or not. Maybe you wake yourself up.

It's not even healthy. But I'll tell you this, there's a little sneaky secret our friends at Outdoor Dental have. It is the Salelea laser. And what it does, it helps with all kinds of dentistry stuff. But they found it can actually help with snoring treatment. See, that soft palate in the best. back of your throat, that thing flapping around is what is snoring. That's what makes the snoring noise. So two 50-minute treatments, they'll run that laser back and forth across soft palate

to tighten it up. That reduces snoring. It is non-surgical. It is pain-free. And again, two 15-minute sessions a month apart, that can be it. Pretty good. It'll help you sleep better. And certainly, if there's someone next to you, they'll sleep better too, Jack. One or two minutes. Not bad. Okay. Get it done. Get her done. Go get her, boys. I can tell you Saturday night, there was a lot of honking going on.

So you were trying to go radio dark on the Bills game. I did. Tell us a story. Saturday. Got up. I don't know what I did. Got moving. Kids had a finals.

So then. Let me guess. The refs? No. No. They're a little bigger, a little tougher, a little batter. a little more want, a little more piss and vinegar,

the old royals, yellow or whoever that gold. The Royals had piss and vinegar. Yeah. The Rangers had their backs up against the wall. They were battling. And on the way out to the rink, because I was going to have a team celebration, right? Yeah, team party, just in case.

Win or lose. Win or lose. On the booth. So I had the ribs, I had the oven, I had the brisket going, I had the pulled pork goal. Yeah. I'm getting things happening.

I'm walking out the door, take the kid to the ring for the game. Got to be an hour early. Oh, shit. Record, hit the record button. Thank God I didn't forget. Total radio silence. Off in the corner by myself at the hockey game. Didn't even turn my phone on.

Oh, nailing it. Quiet. Got in the truck. I'm sure shut the radio off. Mm-hmm. Want to be blarping and babbling. Get home, start the game. I'm mixing and getting the food out because people are coming over after.

food's all prepped finally sit on the couch and i can skip forward a little bit through the commercials and stuff perfect okay we're into overtime i thought like the bills were about to take over early and then they started turning the ball over what are you doing got the ball in overtime bills we stopped them bills are going to come down we're going to it stopped recording ended oh no No. Yeah. Bill's got the ball in overtime.

My recording ended and so somebody blurted out. They lost. You shut up. Pour me a bumbo. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. But I have my phone because I'd had it hidden, had blown up with, that's a bullshit.

What a play? I had a lot of feedback on my phone from concerned friends and family. I didn't like to call. Yeah. I was a Bill's fan. I would not like that call either. I would say that. team, that one absolutely kills.

And I don't know how you prove whether he was going to catch it or not or if he survives the ground or not. He's tangled with another guy. It's a weird one. That's not an exact science, but refs are idiots. And then I felt like yesterday, it was the same play. They did the other way. But on the other hand,

I can tell you this. Being a Bill's fan, it's almost you're accepting of waiting for the next Of course And there you have it Pain Right Oh dear

We're gonna have to do this aren't we Jack that is so much Okay here's the ball coming in nicely Nice toss Josh Brandon That looks good That's possession going down He's got it

He doesn't touch in the ground And now it's ripped out of his hands Possession He's not bobbling it touches the ground, not bobbling, gets ripped out of his hands. Yeah, I feel like if that is called a catch on the field, are you turning that or is that just a catch? I don't get how he's not down right here, just the ball.

He's being touched, he's on the ground, he's had possession of it going down. Five of the ground, and you could argue, okay, he's got a hit and then we'll see if the ball bounces out, but we can't see any of that because there's a guy on top of them. I think it's called a catch and stays a catch. Am I crazy, Jack? I think calling it a catch is less controversial. than an interception.

And to me, that means. And they didn't spend enough time looking at this play. We used more time now than they have. Literally. It was way too fast. Yeah, right here is a catch, in my opinion. I don't know what they see. And look, there's a couple PIs that are tough.

There's also a blatant hold on the Bill's O line when Allen's in his own end zone that we never even get this far in the game. There's a million calls of game we can analyze. you can't turn over the ball like they didn't expect to win and you can't have the lack of weapons around Josh Allen and expect to win a Super Bowl. They need more weapons. They need a better coach. The turnover at the end of the half was the killer.

There was killer. 10 point swing, right? The Cook fumble? Because I think they were driving down to... In all the momentum. I think they were going to put a state... If Cook doesn't fumble, I think they go down the field of score

and make a massive statement there. But I'm a bill's fair. their head coach is gone Sean McDermott, see ya. He got to see you today. Sad, but the right move. He's never done anything to help that team get over and above.

Yeah, he's definitely good at winning games of the regular season with Josh Allen on a Super Bowl contender. I think he's got a solid system. I think he does a solid job, but he's not a difference maker in a positive way. It's not Andy Reid.

No, he's, and there have been situations if you watch the bills enough where it's like, what are we doing? What are we doing? So problem is I don't trust it. Well, I'm pessimistic.

It's Blue Monday and everyone's lost the bills. It's lost the ESO game. Like life is shit. But I don't trust that they're going to get someone better. That's my concern. I'm like, damn it, Harbaugh. Week ago. I told you, there would have been a silver lining if they, uh,

who you get now? Belichael. It's like Conroyd. Belichick. That would be epic. I don't, I do worry. he goes. I get a little older since he's got that hot chick he's hanging out with

it. That's keeping him young. What are you talking about? His lost focus is more of my point. Yeah, he certainly has. That's I'm not worried about his Depends where they're at in the relationship. This is still the honeymoon phase. You don't want Bill. But if she's getting as annoying and obnoxious

and controlling as it looks like, he's going to spend all his time of the office. That's the bill you want. I think Bill's tied up in knots. All right. any of you figure that one out and I'll be at the office see you Tuesday just gone sad it was sad sad sad day yeah

none of our teams are left I know I was thinking about it we were watching the night game and I'm like there might only be one and it could be boomers bears and even they had a tough go we'll get to all our football picks tomorrow no boom cat he's down at the dome he's here what a trepid reporter are our trip intrepid he's on the ground have you guys seen the messages he sent it He's like giving us reports on the practice.

Get the, Coleman in a yellow jersey. Cooley in the starters. I was going to beak him, but I'm like, well, let's put some of these up. If he's sending us the intel, we got to use it. Cooley starts. Coleman skating in yellow jersey. Okay.

Okay. Dean. Johnny B. Reporter. Oh, boy. So we do the top shelf elf, our charity auction around the Christmas season every year, which helps closer to home.

You get to meet Conroy in chat. How about any day of the year you get today? Like the aftermath of the biggest deal, arguably he's done since he got here. I think it's the biggest trade is big.

I think it's the biggest trade is big. Bigger than the Markstrom ones, bigger than Tifoli. You're damn lucky. did it yesterday or you'd be have zero he's a little tied up here's Harvey the hound Craig's busy harvey's not a talker but he's

of the day let's let's hit it it is the Pinda report for our great friends at Villageonda. I was looking at the weather forecast for Jasper. It has taken a massive turn, a 180. For the positives? From negative to positive. It was looking like minus 30, three days in a row to now it's like almost zero. This is the zaniness we live in in Western Canada with our winners.

Eight thoughts. That's a lot. That's a lot of thoughts. Yeah, where to go, Bob. That's a lot of thoughts. For a Sunday. A lot of thoughts. A lot of thoughts.

thoughts. Rasmus emotional. The wave after the win over the islanders. You felt like he knew it was coming. He knew it was coming. Almost swore again. What do you got him out there for? Why is he playing 25?

Well, you know, you got to say goodbye to. You go for warm up and you do a lap after everyone's off. Wret, this team is trying to make the playoffs. What are you talking about? Yeah, exactly. Let's keep moving. Rasmus posted a thank you to the city of Calgary.

Here it is. Calgary, thank you for everything you've done for me ever since being drafted in 2015. I've loved this organization. I truly loved every second of playing for this amazing team in city. To all the fans, thank you for always supporting me and keeping me honest at the same time. Laughing, crying emoji. To my teammates, coaches, training staff, and everyone at the front office, thank you. Wishing the flames, nothing but the best in the future.

I'll always be a fan. And maybe I screwed you away. I think we could have got more, but this guy has been awesome. It's a great story. It was supposed to be Sven Verci, the star, and it looked like a distressed asset, and they somehow pull a second out of Vancouver for them, and you've got a decade of a good prospect, turn player, turned leader. Turn top four, top two.

Yes, a top defenseman. Having a great year. Wish them well. easier to wish them well too and if they win a cup this year you get another first. Well, he's a top 10 flames defenseman of all time. Bobby was making that case.

He is. I think it's hard to find 10 that have the combination of top play and tenure better than them, for sure. I think he is. A few more. Playoff games would have been okay Rasmus. That would have been just fine too

if a couple more playoff. Well, he's going to go do that part in Vegas. He's going to go to the playoffs. Yeah, do it down there. Long run this year. You'd get the flames that extra pick. Gotta do it. Got to do it.

Favorite moment for Rasmus, Anderson. Someone was reminiscing, and I thought, man, I don't know, that's a tough one, because he's got the stare-downs, he's had some scraps,

he scored some big goals, and then I was like, oh, no, there is just one. Absolutely, there's just one. Slid far enough that he was able to get it out. That was there. Oh, scores. The Lord Rickley.

Once the reverse angle, because we love Rasmus, but we love Mike Smith. Watch the reverse angle. How maddy is it is, The Mike Smith special there. And it's like he's paying attention. What are you doing?

We were playing at the other end. What were you doing? How you didn't win that name in that series after that is just insane. Incredible stuff. Farewell, Rasmus. Play well, win a cup. Beat the oilers. It's incredible stuff.

Yeah, it's just like, yeah, rate, low glove. Oh, geez. What are you guys doing? We're playing. Mike, what are you doing? Damn on, Mike. Oh, oh, damn. That is so good.

That's my favorite. That's going to be tough to be bad. What a guy. Let's continue to move. Flames Nation's got more intel. God, he's got a nice life coming to him now. Yeah, he's going to be fine. Don't worry about him.

Oh, let's go to VIII. Vegas. I'm going to feel it out for a while. Yeah, I think I'll sign it's. What do you think, honey? Yeah, son? Yeah. Oh. Yeah, we're going to Marner's Mansion and there's something on the same cul-de-sac

that's coming up for sale. I might walk through that. Yeah. Nice. It's got the Cinderar at their pool. Yeah, it's a nice. Okay. Backland, there might be a ticket to Team Sweden, fellas. They had an injury on the weekend. Can you just pick them up down at the will call?

No, he's, play not to go oh not like the uh not like the steward skinner wants to go to the olympics because he was going to have to buy tickets but like he michael wants to play for team sweden and they have an injury at center ice there's more from mike gold i snapped that this morning there's got to be more than zero comments now we're kind of making mike look bad that's our fault buddy just immediately as soon as it went up i screenshot of that some that's the storyline to follow uh you'd feel good for the captain who's having a monster year despite he'll lose this deposit of that trip though oh he's just his friends can use the tickets

ass. Did you buy insurance? You better buy insurance. Got to buy insurance when you do this stuff. Better buy it. Buy it better. Flame schedule, they are in the throes of a long run of home games. They won the first one. I'm not happy.

Yeah, first came back, Rhett. That's the loss. You're looking like a liar. So now that's back-to-back wins. Way to go. Way to go. That win against the Islanders on Sunday, the first of eight games at home over their next nine games, so it's now seven of their next eight.

Damn it, guys, settle down. No good. They're going to be sad sack tonight, or they're going to be all pepping their step opportunity for everyone else? I don't know. Usually a trade will, it sparks emotion at minimum, right? And I think that hockey's an emotional game, but you don't have an emotion, it's harder to play.

So there will be more emotion. Yeah. But it also is sending the message of, yes. Yeah, we're not good and we're going to. I think if I was going to just sort of forecast what happens in the next few months, I would be paying very close attention to Nazim Khadry. I would sprint to get him out of here. Like I would not be still playing.

Does anyone want them? Okay. Go. Well, and they clearly, they don't want to do that. I don't want patience. You and I would be doing that. But here's what we do know. If Rasmus says, you know what, fellas, it might be better for me to be.

be elsewhere, they'll accommodate them. And so if they're not willing to do it, but he controls it, I'm very keenly watching Nazim Kudry's body language here to see, because look, they, they were one point out of the playoffs at the end of the December there. And now all of a sudden it's like, oh, fuck, here we go again. Maybe I, you know what, I'm 35. I got three years left on my deal. Maybe it's time.

Watch his body language. That's what I'd be watching. I said that like six times. I can get the point. I think we get the point. Yeah, let's move it. What do the devils look like? They're coming to town.

It's the Jacob Markstrom Bowl. Very exciting. This is a group that is not doing as well as we thought. This is a very nice top six. Brat, Heeshire, Hughes, Mercer, Meyer. Daddy? Dadanov is there. That's right.

Jeez. Former Connor McDavid friend, Connor Brown, is on this team. And someone named Yuho Lamaco. It's a hell of a handle. Well, better to score. Arseni Gritsik. The blue line is a deep one. It finds Dougie Hamilton on the right side of the third pair.

Jonathan Kovicevich is back. He's missed almost the whole year with injury and just returned. Pesci and Hughes your top pair, Seagenthaler, and a friend of the show, Brendan, Dylan, also on the left side. Dillie's beauty. Good here. Awesome. Great stuff. bottom 10 update

I think we have another proverbial oh sorry goal is first Marks German Allen QN's dinged up Stefan Nason also on IR and Platt who they're paying

a lot of money to hasn't been good or health yeah but they should be better they should be better they should be better there they are in 25th threat I guess somebody's got to be in 25th like it's another proverbial

four pointer the flames win this game they're two back of the Devils. Bleep that. You got to come out flat today, fellas. I'm telling you. This is really getting...

I'm highly concerned with what we're... I don't like this at all, Red. Two wins and a row. And it goes back to us being right. And then you should have dumped all these guys way early on so that you're not sitting at 46 because you need to lose a few. Now, every time they do this, is. Are we going to snap?

Or is that just... Yes. It is what it is. Yeah, I'm going to set myself on fire. All the human torch. I'm going to walk into Don Maloney's office. That'll send a message. I never mentioned Dave Nones, the sneaky bastard.

He's hiding out there somewhere, too. Got our eyes on you, known as. Pascal, too, yeah. Mike Burke, there's lots of people in front of office. Somebody's got to think they know how to rebuild, right? No, they don't want or they're not interested. Vancouver's. God, they're killing it, eh?

They're not even trying. I'll tell you what. I had a buddy at that game. He goes, this is disheartening. In Vancouver? Yeah. Or in Evanston's. Well, whatever.

No, in Vancouver, when they played it. Right, okay, yeah. And he was like, this is, it's, he's not a Vancouver fan, but he's like, I don't know how these guys keep showing up at the rink. They're stealing money. Like this is. Like Elias Patterson. You got 34 games left and that's miserable.

Patterson's got a Bella clava and a machine gun. That is misery. With an empty suitcase. How do you coach this? Stealing. Foot doesn't want to watch video every day. Guaranteed. He's a bit old school.

Like, how do you coach guys that have just, I don't worry about Adam foot getting stuck there too long. He's got a nice, I'm starting to build it into they suck. And their best player Yeah,

but I'm living it into a case for Don Maloney's actual comments where it's like, I don't want that either. No. Because that's, that's a bunch of guys that aren't even, they're faking it. They're faking it.

And that's no good. The slow motion rebuild is not a good. move. That's what the flames are doing. They're pretending they're not rebuilding and they're just doing it slower and it's just going to take longer and they're going to get less superstars. You need two bottom out. Yeah, but if you, I don't want to be Vancouver either.

I don't want to as a fan, I want to be last but I don't want to watch that dog's shirt where they're not trying. I got a solution for you. Trade Coleman, trade coddry, trade whiteclad. There you are. Now you're tough. Yeah, but I think Don's point is that those are the guys that drag the other guys into the fight. and if we lose them, you're going to end up looking like Vancouver.

And, hey, that's hard. Maybe. It is. You're trying to defend Donnie here. That's a tough luck on this show. Well, I'm not saying he's right. But I'm also saying if they're trying not to be Vancouver where you've got a bunch of guys that don't give a shit. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. I don't give you, I don't mind that approach. lose, but don't be Vancouver, but be last. That's a tight rope to walk as well. Yeah, it is. And the one they're trying to walk that they're talking about is also a really tight one where it's like, yeah, yeah, we're going to have winning culture.

We're going to be great. And we're also going to collect younger assets and we're going to come out of this with the contender. You don't have a winning culture because that's a bullshit lie. You haven't won anything. And it's been a long time since you've won anything or even had a chance to win anything. What you can say is that we want to have a competitive culture. Yeah, that would be the,

the better words. Rebiggle, also not a word. He used to out in the same. I actually like it a bit. Get your t-shirts, Nationgear.C.A. We'll keep moving. Finals from last night, just three games. Oilers have absolutely beat the piss

out of two of the dormats in the league. Their last two was Vancouver on Saturday, then St. Louis yesterday. Sends, it's getting ugly. They're not getting saves. They lose to Detroit in overtime. And Tampa continues to roll. They beat Dallas.

Four to a lot. Tampa's been very good. Dallas been just okay. of a sudden some smoke around Jason Robertson. Is he available? It's a one year to the UFA needs a contract this summer. Maybe they could trade White Cloud for. I doubt it, but you could try.

And all these firsts. Okay, we got a deal. Great news for the Florida Panthers. Math and Kachuk, he's in tonight. Number 19. That's from James and Olive, which sounds like some sort of a cocktail bar, but I think he's a human.

Let's keep moving. We've got more Kachuk. Vibes. There it is. There's a picture of him. God, he looks good in that panther shine. No one's ever going to remember him as a flame. Oh, outside of Calgary, God, no. Oilers fans, maybe for the Turtle family. That will be a trivia question. Where do Kachuk start his career?

Was it Columbus? Wasn't it that the Panther? What teams did Matthew Kachuk play for? Well, he played for Florida. Guess what I got this weekend? Your Matthew Kachukh jersey? Correct. Wow.

I was just guessing. Which one? nerd you had to get panthers obviously nope you went and got the non caponing one i got the team USA one baby oh that tournament where they tried to be tough guys and then were hurt and lost in the final awesome i loved that tournament

that was a good one yes sir that'll be fun for the olympics jacket this is good you're gonna play the heel a bit are your kids gonna play the heel oh they're going USA for the Olympics USA yeah they're all in on this takeover okay someone's got to do it right No, it's good for the show.

It's just that, you know, Dean won't rake you like he'll rake me for cheering for the Ravens. It's good for the show or the, uh, well, you're not a ring. It's a fan. Of course not, but it's good for the show. Jack, just like you said. That's what Ryan's all about. Uh, let's try to play the game, Buffalo Carolina. Oh, fuck.

Thanks, Dean. It's today holiday? It is. I believe it's, uh, Martin Luther King Day. I'm not, I believe that's the case. 1.30 game. They're going to get started in Carolina and you got games rolling pretty much till midnight. Eastern time.

Nice little run. It'd be a nice day to be able to eat and sit on the couch, make some popcorn. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. So you get Kachuk's return. That is the 4 o'clock mountain start.

Another one to watch. We get the Pissy Rangers after the letter against Crider and Truba and the Ducks. I love you. That could be a spacey. Yeah. Yeah. Huh. Okay.

There's any, lots of hockey? I mean, they don't care. Is that your fantasy hockey lineups, people? It's a 1.30 start. You're going to get caught if they don't get them set by 1.30. The pants will be down. They don't want that. I'm for fancy hockey at least.

Bill's Mafia was getting fired up. We have some video from Bill's Mafia in Calgary. I don't know if you've recognized this location and or venue rep, but this is a thing in Calgary. And you, too, can shatter your hip in a, parking lot as a Bill's fan in Calgary. Look how nice out it is. That's quite nice.

That's the Honda Ridgeline. You can tell by the tailgate. It opens, open down in its Tadley. Concrete. Not a lot of fishmen. Head of a limp, he's going to look up. Good commitment. Yeah.

I've not been to that bar. I know that it's there. I know that it takes place. It's very divey. I think you could like it and or hate it. Sean McDermott and the bills, their hips. Now there's. Oh, oh, no.

Tough loss. Overtime. Devers score with too much time left, eh? We all knew that. 55 seconds left. Like, that's too soon. Way too much clock for Josh. What are you idiots doing?

What's going on? Pretty damn good in the regular season. Almost two wins forever. he lost 98 and 50 8 playoff appearances 5 AFC's titles the challenge is the further they went in the playoffs

the worst the record got never got to a Super Bowl This is a year It's not going to win a Super Bowl That's what I realized On Sunday or Saturday I don't think he's going to Well they got to fire That's where they're firing the coach

That is why they're firing the coach I don't know what I mean We'll find out who they bring in But I he had nothing to work with this year. They should have won one already, or at least made it to a Super Bowl. I agree.

And I think McDermott actually was a detriment to that. Hence he's gone now. But this year alone, he was the best player. Yeah, probably MVP, yeah. Out there right now, left, and they blew it and lost it. He takes some blame for it

because he turned the ball over in Denver. But I would just, I'm like, he's getting old enough. Like, look at that. Nine seasons, eight playoff appearances, five. Mm-hmm. Are you telling me that what's coming is going to get better? I'm really hoping this is the Connor McDavid trajectory, right?

Can we just change the names and make that happen? Like, 11 years, all these plus zero cups. And when they signed Sean McDermott, and if he'd walked in and said, I'll do this for you, if you'll keep me around for a couple more years, it'd be like, you know what I mean? Like he got carried.

That is a pretty good recipe. He can get you to the dance, but he can't get, you know, the bell of the ball. He did not get them over the hump in the silver to get to the Super Bowl. I'm sorry.

Blue Monday. Tough one right up. My bad. So look at the final four. There's only three football games left, guys. That sucks. Steph Daddy.

One of these things ain't like the other one. Jared Stidham. Oh, boy. What? Huh? Go get him. CJ Stroud put on a unbelievable display. Go get him, stid him.

Go get him, Stidem. Drake, Drake, May, May. Staff Daddy. And he can't win in the playoffs Sam Darnel. Apparently looks for damn good. You didn't have to do. No, you didn't. They're up with seven and everything like two seconds in.

They're so hurt. Has any franchise? Has any franchise? in any professional sport had as many injuries as the Niners. No, and they're probably on some ancient Barrow grounds and the power plant and there's voodoo dolls and and and and and and it's awful.

Everyone gets hurt. I don't like this final four. It's not inspired. The Broncos, like with Stidem, don't care. Yeah, it feels like there's three teams left. There's two that I think are good storyline. Stafford, the vet, getting another title with McVeigh and that incredible job they've done of reloading.

They traded all those picks away, and they're still good. And then it's the ascension of Drake May into NFL royalty. The other storylines I'm not interested. So what's the best Super Bowl here? LA. It's got to be Patriots Rams. In terms of storyline.

Two MVP front runners. Yeah. Yeah. It's the two guys that are fighting for the MVP. It's the young against the old. It's two great young coaches. Very different. Yeah. I like that a lot. If it's, if it's Denver, ugh, Stidham.

and I just Seattle, kudos on a hell of a year. Are we really thinking Sam Darnold's going to win a Super Bowl? It just feels weird. Darnold versus Stidham would be horrible. It'd be brutal.

That would be, yeah, epically bad. Yeah. And Seahawks fans, that's not a shot at your team. What an incredible game. You blew the drushed off.

You blew the bleeping doors off. Odds. What are the odds? What are the odds? What are the odds? Our friends at Bet 365 letting us know that, yeah,

we get two games. games this weekend, no games the weekend after, and then one game that's a Super Bowl. Broncos getting four and a half at home. That's the Stidham factor. Not often you see a guy on a game winning drive and then announced is done for the season post game. Tough times in Denver. And Seattle at home favored by two and a half over. Staff daddy.

Is it a broken bone for Knicks? Yeah, a broken ankle, I believe. Yeah. Crazy because he kind of hobbled a bit, but you're like, whatever, walk it off, dude, he's fine. Oh, I'm actually wondering with today's medical miracles. Yeah.

Dr. Rett, can you get them back? I'm actually, because it's a week till this game, right? Yeah, and then two weeks. That's tight. Hyperbaric. A bone can heal in four. You got three.

But with all the, huh? Eh? If anyone can do it, it's Dr. Red. Dr. Redd. Got me. We've got 20 days. We need them ready. Probably last night.

Was it 15 days? Anyway, that's your final four. Thank you, best 365. There, yeah. Finally, I've got, yeah, they do have to find a way to beat New England without them. That's not going to be easy.

A new cereal, Rhett. Let's dive in. Using Buffalo's, the breakfast that gets your hopes up every January. With marshmallow penalty flags and football. Each crunchy o tastes like a first down until it doesn't. She fumble at the goal line again. Buffalo.

Crunchy football. Smoky Buffalo Horn. And check it. Free toy Super Bowl ring. It says almost on it. Just my. That's mean. Stop funny.

I'm sorry. Screw you. Sorry, Bill's fans. We love you. We wanted to see it. It was not meant to be. You know what? The Bill's fans are fine because the Sabers are coming on, baby.

You're the Sabres. Oh, the Biddy Sabers. Who called it first. You're the Sabers. We're going to the playoffs. We got to go to a game there. Jack's all about it. I'm there.

Dean will come up with some excuse. I don't want him. Who doesn't have to come? He's vacuuming his basement or something, but like, we're going to Buffalo. I want to go to Buffalo. How many vacations is this guy taken this year? That's great. I don't think it's great at all.

I think it's BS. Yeah. That was your Pinda Report for Village Honda. A reminder, the iconic Honda Prelude is back. All the hot chicks in high school. Prilals? Oh, yeah. That's a move.

Okay. That was way back in the 90s or whatever. It's coming back. Bring it back. The legendary sports coupe reimagined as a hybrid that expertly balances performance, a smooth ride and efficiency. Check out more. Billichonda.com are at the Northwest Auto Mall, your dealership for life. Blue Monday, bills are done, new coach, Rasmus Anderson's gone, flames game day.

It's a Markstrom-Sherengovic bowl tonight. Monday night against the devils. White Cloud. He's coming. We got the hot, the beat reporter told us. We got the B reporter live down at Coleman Yellow Jersey, coolly starting. Boom on the beat.

White Cloud landing around 1 p.m. We'll play tonight, right into Anderson's spot. Oh, baby. And meanwhile, Perrex in the American League team. He played yesterday. If I thought he was hurt, I believe he played yesterday. Hopefully he gets, well, like,

he can only go down for two weeks or is it a certain amount of games? Is it a... It is a window that they can use a maximum amount of time. So I imagine they'll use the whole window and then they'll bring him up and have a spot for him would be the hope.

If he plays well. You do want to play a 19-year-old. It's important for him to play the game. He does have to play. It helps you get better when you play. If you were a parent, you'd want your kid to play versus not play. Yeah, I've got a kid that doesn't play

and it doesn't seem to be better. So not playing, is he getting better? No, no. hard to determine that he is. But if they are playing, then they can get better. Well, at least I could evaluate that. Good.

Or somebody care. Sure. Makes sense. Jack, how's the weekend? What did you? Did you do anything fun, Jack? No, I didn't. I was,

he was stressed about this Rasmus deal. I was stressed about it for some reason. I let it affect my weekend and I just stayed at home. You were ready to go. So, you know what the beauty of that is when you have a, you tuck in for the weekend, lots of time to really get into his books. Oh, boy. Nothing.

Jack? We started a book club for you. I started something, Rhett. What do you mean you started so well? Because here's the thing. You recommended a book for Jack way back at the beginning of December. Love this book. Everyone that reads it. Loves this book.

Action packed. I got to start slow. Okay. You start slow. Axe book club. Here's the thing. We're working our way up to the book that's, that Rent has recommended. But congrats, Jack. You've got one under your belt.

This is one of the Franklin books. Franklin hits his first parlay. Very great read. Really. What were, who was the main character? Franklin. And what happened in the book?

He hits a parlay. As you could see there. He's got it. He's, he's going to go cash it in. What kind of emotions was the main character dealing with in the book, Jack? Very high emotions. Was there tension along the way?

Lots of tension. Okay. Did you need that extra point to go through the end to cover? No turnovers. Congratulations. Oh, man. I think you've got to play the intro on the way out. I will.

I'm going to start the book this week. I have to. And I'm going to have to donate some money because I didn't do it last week. You don't have to do anything. I can't be the guy that doesn't pay his debts. Well, you're certainly the guy that hasn't read a book in a decade. You don't pay your debts. You've already been.

not pay my debts guy for like a year and a half. You owe us pizza party. You are, yeah, there's a lot of unpaid. You owe the Wolverine money. Bam. You, uh, it's fine. It's you. That's Jack. If the Sabres make the playoffs, you're going to owe me more money. No, no, no, no, no. Or was it above

Montreal? Yeah, they got to be finished better than Montreal. Come on, Sabers. Let's go. Great read. Great read. How many stars? How many thumbs up? Five out of five. Five to five, two thumbs up. Whamclan, it's his first How was the party on the weekend?

You said you had a good. Because the mood's a little different. We both had kids in S.O. Finals. My guy was the backup on the day of the game, which always is like, he can't really help. He's standing there. Coach, can we run this play off the faces?

Shut up, kid. They were victorious, and he got to go get the banner from the hockey Calgary representative, proud of the little turkey. But the moods are high when that party gets going. Bowling party, drinks are flow. on people are suddenly calling for taxis.

A little different, more somber when you're on the other side. It was, we lost. It was kind of a Cinderella story. It kind of had the Flames 04 run to it where you're really not expected to get there. Right. Had the battle to get there.

So there's some real positives to take from it. And then the bills lost, which and I went full bamboo, I just said, the hell with this. Kind of shitty day. Here we have it here. Oh, dear. Looks like Rett's going full bamboo here. No ice cubes.

So it came around. Huge, huge glass. Yeah. Oh, dear. It really turned around around 930, 10 o'clock. We had so much same is world's greatest pizza, by the way. Oh. I made food.

And then two hours later, 20 pizzas. Unbelievable. 20 pizzas. A massive Caesar salad, wings. Did you treat everyone right and give people the option for a non-alcoholic fruit? Did you have the temples on site? The temple golden lagger were friends. It's dry January for some, or maybe it's just a busy day tomorrow,

or you're saying, hey, I like cracking a beer, but I don't need the boots. I got to drive. I had one of these last night during the Erasmus two-hour trade show. Sometimes they'll say like a beer will take an edge off. Mentally for me, it did, even though it's alcohol. Yeah, yeah. But just trying to sift through all the conditional picks and who the hell Abram Weems is. Things like that.

Who the hell is? You can find Temple all over the place. This is the beauty of this because it's not like boo-hooos. You don't have to go to a liquor store, which are few and far between, unless you're in the states. It's fine. I'm very bad gas station, whatever. But Temple you can find in Calgary Co-Ops, which is great. You can also order it on Amazon Prime.

Carverid Co-Coop grocery stores, Amazon Prime. DrinkTemple.com is the website. site and then you got options. Maybe it's, you want to crack another, but it doesn't have to be booze or you got someone that's coming over that wants to feel like they're part of the crew. Crack all you want. Dry January, have one anyway.

Ooh, win win. I don't believe in this dry thing, but drink temple, t-em-p-l.com. Good stuff. Who is that kid that you just mentioned? What was the take yesterday? It feels like we're a bit anti-clomatic because you talked about it for two hours yesterday.

Yeah, you know what, that's true. It's hard to do the whole like, yeah, you know what, 620. You guys argue about Beaumister. Just do that again at 9.30. Like, you're like, kind of. You only have your original emotions and takes and reactions. And so what was your original?

We don't know a ton about the kid, but he's irrelevant. And I don't mean that. He's a throwin. He's the fourth piece. Like you got a first, a second, a roster player. and then what I would call like a B minus gross. What was your hot take?

Your hot take was these tampered with it? No, I don't know that. I mean, it just feels like it's that way with Vegas. He's going to sign. They have to sort out some long-term stuff with Petrangelo because you can't extend them until you're under a certain threshold

for next year's cap. Anyway, we know he's going to sign there. But it just felt like you had the opportunity to do this without the agent and the player controlling it. And for the second time in two years, the defenseman went to Vegas where he and his agent had all the cards it felt like.

They did much better in this trade than that one. And you hope that Vegas goes and wins a cup. You'd have three first rounders in a row from them. It's not nothing. It's not nothing. They're going to be late picks. They're not going to be high picks.

They're a good team. The prospect is a guy having a decent junior season at college. probably a guy that could realistically be an HL defenseman. We'll see. And Zach Whiteclod, what they do with him

is really going to tell us a lot about what they think the direction is moving forward. You can't keep this many right-handed defensemen. Five of them. Somebody's got to go. Yeah, and maybe that's Pahal. Maybe they move Hanley. Maybe they slide Weiger over the left side, but he's immediately one of their best four

defensemen. And he's going to play a lot of Rasmus's minutes, and he was the guy you needed to move to make the money work for Vegas. You can't get this deal done unless you're financially allowing them to, you eat half, bring in White Claw, they're basically cash neutral. Now they go chase Panarin

with some other greasy move. Good on them, I guess. You love it if you're a Vegas fan. It's just a slam dunk, but for the flames, you're like, well, that's probably about as much as I've seen for a rental. And again, I guess it's not a rental.

Well, it's not a rental, and you're eating half. And it's less than a million bucks of Murray's money. I'm not worried about Murray's money. No, but it's just. And I think it was the right thing to do. I'm glad they did it if that's what it takes to get that return.

Because I don't want to not eat that money and get less return. Right. And I think they should eat all kinds of money. Anyone need us to eat money? Of note, two of their three retention slots are now used. And both will be freed up for next year because it's the last year of the Markstrom retention and the only year remaining on Rasmus's contract, the last year of that retention.

So all three will be open next year. But it does make me wonder if you're going to be able to move Codry and Coleman, because you'll only be able to retain on one. I don't think Coleman's number is that scary, but I feel like Codry you're going to have to retain if you want to get a return. Somebody was saying yesterday that they thought, where was I list? That Dvorak and Philly were just signed or something. Yeah, that's correct.

For over five. Yeah, yeah. And their take was that this guy is not. close to Cadry and Cardi's only at seven. Oh, no question. He's a better player today. It's just that you're locked into Nazim, Codry Chilis 38.

Fought me you. Maybe. I mean, some guys, not most, but some guys can play really good hockey. There's just going to be so many guys. There's so many teams now that are in the running to sell guys. That's my thing. Is it a guy like Cadry,

I think there's other teams that have similar type players. Sure. You're competing with making deals. Like if I'm... I don't think you're going to get a big return for him because A, the age. That's the biggest thing. Like, if you tell me Nazcaredge, great player now, I'm like, yes. And I'm playing, I'm sorry, I'm stomping on you.

But what's the benefit of trading him then? To open up, well, to bottom out, to be fair. He's shit right now. He has had a rough 14 games, 13 games. Well, that's, I mean, I are... Yep. But he's... It's not like he's had a bad year, though, right?

Like, let's not over character. Like, it's been rough January. What I'm saying is that if, okay, so if you get rid of them, you probably are worse, but 10 or 15 or 20% or 100, like, do you know what I mean? Like, you are going to put someone in there that's going to be given an opportunity. And perhaps. I think you and I are on the same page that this team really needs to bottom out pretty hard and not pick eighth or ninth.

And I, if you move Nazim Kodry, you improve your chances of that. And people can talk about, oh, like picking 24th or picking 32nd or a second rounder versus a third. The gap between picking third and ninth is way bigger. Yeah. Like you go from potential superstar to like, you can swing and miss. From pick 25 to 40 is probably three to six. It's almost the same. Yeah.

Like 25, you're probably a one in three chance of an NHL and at 40. You might be one in four, one in five. Like it's, but like there's a huge gap between. Top five in picking like 11, 12. So the most valuable part of some of these deals is just ensuring their own picks are going to be really high this year and next year. If you move White Cloud and you move Codry and you move Coleman, I'd be very comfortable betting that they get a top through pick.

And that's where you're Stanberg, Verhoff, and McKenar. Those are guys that project to be potentially stars. Maybe not a superstar in there, but like, decade plus of like a very, very good player. People will buy their jersey. You can now sell hope. Well, and you're hoping that they're in addition to all the other stuff that comes along. Part of a turnaround in a new building.

Yeah. So, you know, I wouldn't be too. Because the cap stuff to me is irrelevant. Unless you draft, you're not attracted. Do you know what I mean? I think the cap's going to go up so much that it's not a huge concern anyway. I don't think we're spending to the cap

because we don't have the assets that we need to pay. And I don't think we're getting free angels. Not now, no. Yeah. And it would be silly to chase them anyway. Like what, you want an old guy on the back nine for the next five years? No. Like when this team has a nucleus

of young players like San Jose does, like you're Will Smith, your Celebrini, your Dickinson, Eklon, like, and Askorovinet. Now you supplement with free agents. The flames aren't there, yeah? No.

No. Like, you've barely seen guys arrive. Like, Perrex played less than a dozen games in the NHL. Griddens played less than a dozen games in the- So what's... Projecting what's worst-case scenario? Not picking in the top three. Not picking in the top five.

I think it's going to be tough for them to guarantee themselves a top three. I think it's a top five. Especially if they don't trade White Cloud, yeah. Like, the GM can put his hand on the wheel and really affect how much the coach can win. And the Anderson deal was always going to be a big one. What I didn't anticipate was that

they're getting like a top four guy back. Wow. He's been playing top four for the Vegas school nights because they're dinged up. And in their defense, he's a top four. He's probably best suited as a five in White Cloud on a contender. But like on this team, he's a top four.

I want two more traits this year. Yeah. Do you know? This better than it. Because you can talk about, oh, Kodry might be worth a second, but if he eat the money,

Maybe they'll give you something this year and a prospect. What you really are doing if you trade Nazim Kodry is you're putting a heavy bet down that you're going to be picking much higher than the next couple drafts. They just don't have anyone else that looks like a top two centermen in the NHL. That could change quickly. But you're right at this moment. Let's play the game. Over two and a half trades. Yeah, I mean, it's going to get nitpicky because they're going to move some journeyman number eight defensemen and we're going to count that as a trade.

But I'll say yes. I'll say yes. I think they trade Longberg. And we're including, we're including the Rasmus Steel is one. No, two and a half more from, from here. Trade Longberg.

I think Lomburg is actually quite important. It's a culture guy. When they get nothing for him. You get a late pick. That's it. And he's not going to cost you much money. Is he going to resign here though? Like robbers.

No, I think you resigned. Um, I think they make two deals. So I'm going to take the under. I'll take the over. White Cloud. Codier Coleman and then other Hanley or Longberg I think they got to move a deed

They got too many. You might be an over But it might be But Pahal for a fifth Or Hanley for a seventh Yeah Could see that

All right Dean's down at the dome Rasmus is gone It feels very Homestan continues Antiplematic now that it's over right All that build that, whoa, well, I don't remember

if it was Friday or Thursday night, but it was like almost 1 a.m. And I'm texting eggs on the internet and like talking to people that are in Boston and it's, I'm hearing this and what's going on there and the scout's saying that and all of a sudden Sunday morning, he had no extension. He's just going to go as a rental.

Carpet got pulled out there. The reality changed very quickly from Saturday night when Elliot came on headlines and Sunday morning was like, oh yeah, by the way, we're not extending anywhere. But we always knew that Vegas was the preferred destination.

I don't know. So basically he said, I'm only signed Vegas for a discount. If I'm going to Boston, I'm in Boston was like, fuck that. We have a trade in the NHL. We got a trade. We have a trade. We got trade to announce. Kiefer Sherwood traded to San Jose

for two second round picks and defenseman Cole Clayton. Okay, so Koefer Sherwood's like a bang or crasher or bottom six forward for Vancouver. The Canucks their dog shirt. He's scoring a ton this year. He set the NHSA record

for hits last year. One of the top guys on trade boards. Two seconds for the sharks is nice. They've got a ton of kids and they don't have to move a first and they've got a lot of picks from all the moves they've been making.

Okay. Keeper Sherwood adding some some bang and crash to the stars. Are the sharks? Shocks. Shocks. Shocks. Is it a fun of the sharks.

A little more energy. I don't think he's going to score. like he has. Mike Drew's team is close. Like that's, that's a group that we know is going to arrive soon, but like they're not out of this race right now. No.

And making this move now and not like signing him as a free agent in the summer, which he's most likely to be. That says they're trying to, like they're in a playoff spot as of today by percentage points over the Kings and ducks. Kings, what are you doing? What are the Kings doing?

Come on, Kenny. Kenny. Kenny. Kenny. We got 20 million for McDavid. McDavid resigned. All right. Anton Forsberg,

Brian Dumlin, Cody, Cici. Oh, dear. Corey Perry. Oh, you're old.

There's Elliot Friedman. I think there's going to be this week then. It feels like the, the Olympic deadline is a real thing, right? Guys, GMs are wanting to do business before this.

It's, you want some clarity. You want guys time to settle in with your organization. And if you're selling, you want to get a guy out of that injury risk bubble. Well, Vancouver's probably fed the F up with their. Sherwood's not going to the Olympics, by the way. What is his deal, Keeper Sherwood?

Last year of a contract. Last year of a company. So he's a free agent. They were going to move him no matter what, hence him being a real popular trade target. I don't mind that for San Jose. They're fun, man. If you're sitting at home, another due late at night, Jack, you throw on the old NHL package and put on the sharks.

You are not often disappointed. They are so fun. Celebrini is an absolute megastod. The goalie is legit good to fully still scoring goals. Wild lead changes. They're not quite great at defending yet, so it's not low scoring. White cloud.

They're coming. White cloud. There's a right shot day there. They actually have a lot of expiring contracts in their blue line too. 2.75, two more years. It's a hack, white. Interesting. I want to tell you about the hero.

Loss Clinic. I grew up with a dad that could not hear. I've spoke with your father. You've tried at least. Yep. He said a crookular. He told me, don't try yelling in my ear. Just don't go.

I'll figure it out. I'll just do my best here. Here's the thing, though. At first, you're like, what's going on here? Why is this just? If you're not checking your hearing regularly, how would you know? You go check your teeth every year.

You go get your eyes. Further and further. Go to the doctor for Cheggins. Make sure you're doing it with your ears. Don't be silly. Hearing loss clinic is the place to do at five locations in Calgary, including the brand new location. Buy them all.

Beauty location, Glenmore. Beautiful. And McLeod. Love to see that. They also have five locations in British Columbia, Invermere, Golden, Kimberly, Fernie, Cranbrook. I said, Kimberly.

It's Cranbroke, Creston. I got the whole valley there sort of out. Don't worry about that. And a reminder hearing issues can be especially challenging for kids. Maybe it's not the can't see the chopper, or maybe it's can't hear the teacher. Hearing loss is not something just for people older and age. And studies are showing that it is linked to health risks like dementia, depression, if it's untreated. So get to the hearing loss clinic and make sure you are aware.

It might be peace of mind or maybe they've got a solution to help with an issue in your life. Hearing loss is not. During you and hating you. Yeah. Actually, we're like, what? It could be all the above as well. Yeah. We might ignore hate and have hearing loss.

But hearingloss.ca for more information. It's not about hearing loss or impairment. It's about empowering everyone to be socially active, more connected, and living their best lives. Hearingloss.ca. Okay, Jack, we're going to do our football picks tomorrow, but we've got some bets for today. We do that for bet three, six, five.

What a weekend. All the football. All the hockey. Jack's got all kinds of props on who's going to be the next Steelers head coach. Oh, he read that book, so he's dialed it. Futures totals. Games next week. Game prop, player prop, totals,

money line, whatever the bet is, it's never ordinary. It's bad three, six, five. Download the app to get into the game. You're such a Sabres honk now. Must be 19-year-old. Use that promo code nation. Look at this. The Sabers are dogs against Carolina.

So, okay, that's all right. I'll take the puck line plus one and a half. You know who's been absolutely money? Tage bleeping Thompson. Two shots and one points. We told you last week. It was the Ryan O'Reilly D. Trained.

Keep going, sorry. That is the Tage Thompson Sabres lover parlay. I've also got the Chuckie's back parlay. Matthew Kachuk returns to the Panthers lineup tonight. They host the Sharks.

It's an earlier start. Keep an eye on that. Not to mention the Carolina Buffalo. That's really early mountain time. In fact, it's probably underway in about 10 minutes. So get that one in quick. Kachukh, with two shots and a helper. That pays plus 125.

The Thompson two shots point and a sabers plus one and a half is plus 155. You don't have to make any of these pets. There's a billion others you can make on the app. Check it out. It's a great one. Bet three, six, five. College football final tonight. Oh, tell us about it, Jack. We got Jack.

Indiana, big favorites, seven and a half. Against the U. Miami Florida. Hmm. What do you think, Jack? Indiana. Perfect season. Yeah?

Perfect season. Holy. Really? That would be something. What's up with all these SEC teams not being good anymore? They're obviously good, but it's three years in a row. They're not in the final. And they'd say, oh, all the best teams are the SECs.

Well, what's happening, fellas? Is this NIL money changing? I was going to say, maybe that NIL has changed how guys can. Well, and there's a very high profile quarterback that just said he's going back for a senior year and was likely going to go two to the Jets. Yeah, it's a week. You can make millions in NIL to the point where they're like, yeah, I don't like the Jets.

I'll wait here and make my million. There's a lot to be. There's a lot of benefits. College seems like fun. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. A lot of bad gig.

Super chats, Jack. Let's sit those and then we'll get the hell out of here. I want to do the spinning thing. You all do the take a thought at the end. Stupid tankathon odds. Here we go. It's Port of the U. Centers of Calgary.

Handsome Day on vacation. Rennels. Peepoo, Peas and Barneys, if Pender's life story was made to a Hollywood movie, who would play Pinder? Charlie Day is my vote, but maybe Nick Cage could do it justice. Oh, I forgot his name. It was a good... I always get the kid off.

Who plays with Nick, is it Nicholas Cate? No, in Breaking Point? No, that's Cano Reeves. Breaking Point. Who's the other cop? It's the crazy bastard. Oh, I forget his name. Remember the TV show Boy Meets World?

I used to get that kid all the time. This is the calm. And then Screech off the old show. You've grown up. You're not. I was Screech as a kid. I mean, he's someone to play the adult role.

Screech will play my young days. Jack, any actor recommendations? Not off the top of my head. Handsome dance getting let down for 40. Come on. I had some dance in. I'm pulling it up.

We'll circle back on it. That's going to do some. You're not circling back at all. Okay, next. Point break, not breaking point. No, big worse. Break. This is from Michael Kern, 577110 box.

Fellas, folks. I need to know. Call Pike, call Domo, call anyone. I need to know are the flames taking their goal horn to the new building. Get the wrench on this. Pike, in the chat. I feel like it's going to be busy down. No.

555 saddled on. I think that's a different one. I don't mind their horn, but it's not a top five. Really? I love the horn. It's a really good horn, but the top five is like royalty. It's Buffalo, Dallas, Montreal.

Montreal's, yeah. Chicago. Sharks are good. They got the deep, yeah. Chicago. Yeah, tough five's elite. But it's not, yeah, like the oilers. That's one of the worst than the league.

Naisling like, get out of here. Gross. How do you decide on that? the horn rankings? Yeah. Gary Bucy. That's who you. Gary Bucy.

Okay. Thank you, Michael. We'll get the wrench on. We'll find out. Fellas. Michael again, another 10 bucks. Is Vegas can be able to sign Rasson's moving forward just based on the rising cap next year? How are they going to make him fit starting next year?

Big contracts coming out of the book somewhere? Not really. And then also you've got Petrangelo on long-term injury reserved. One way you solve the problem is that you must. move Petrangelo's contract to another team. What is fair in that swap? I don't know, but you can't be over the cap by a certain amount, even with injuries in the off season. So I don't know when they can actually file this thing, but we all think it's kidding time. Really? You can't over the off

season? If he's on LTIR, it doesn't... You can't sign a contract that puts you over the cap for next year and you can't place Petrangelo by a certain percentage. And you can't put Perangelo onto LTIR until the beginning of the year. Okay. I did not know that. But they've also got like wild bills dinged up. Like there's lots of moving parts. How many years does he have left? Patrangelo?

Yeah. I think a couple. That's a good question, Jack. Get on it, Craig. I guarantee you they can make him fit. Oh, yeah, they will. There's no, there's no chance of them not signing him long term, in my opinion, due to the cap. It's just that they're going to have to pull some levers and move some stuff around like they always do.

The flames. Give me the Vegas one. Come on. scintillating sorry Ryan YouTube I know What's next Jack We'll continue on

That's it Two three Wow We got a lot yesterday I think we had like 22 Yeah we had a bunch on the The old show For sure

Where's the injured guys Come on you bastards See even around Oh boy Their projected cap space Minus 11.8 million That's Vegas right now That's the tarangelo thing

Okay Thank you for being with us today, friends. I don't understand how this. If you want more breakdown on the Rasmus-A-Anderson deal, I would encourage you to, do we push that out as audio only as well, Jack? I know in YouTube two hours of Rasmus' immediate reaction. It is a very nice return for a rental, and we all feel like he is going to sign long-term in Vegas,

and so grading this becomes challenging. But one thing is clear. This team is rebuilding. it is now like their fifth or sixth good player at the last year of their deal that they're like picks futures good job quick fighting a good fight uh but boom we'll be back tomorrow of all kinds of great intel like coleman wore a yellow jersey i can't believe and coolly was in the starters crew holy smokes yeah and they're amazing the stuff you get when you go down to the dome they're bringing the new horn because horns are too expensive these days it's like butter really expensive

So we got to move the old horn into the new bill. It's not even the same if you do butter. Jack, enjoy your book tonight. Thank you. I will. Well, it's a flames game day, so we'll see. Enjoy the game tonight. See you, buddies.

Ah, what? Oh, Tengavan. Oh, come on. I forgot to, Red. Holy. I got to do it all around. We're due for a feel good here. It's Blue Monday Tankathon.

Don't be piling on. I'm not eating. Jack's not eating. I'm not eating. We're at all fasting. It's not grumpy yet. You wait until tomorrow. I'm a miserable.

All right. You got it? I wasn't doing it. We got it. Now, we don't have Dean here, so this one works out. This is, see, it's already going to. Boy, we keep going the wrong direction here. You guys ready?

The odds 8.5% for the Calgary Flames to finish first overall. We should look at that. So if you finish last, you get a 25% chance. 18 and now. Where is it? A second column. Okay, 18.5. Oh, I'm sorry.

No, you're right. The first overall pick is where you would end up at 25.5%. And second is 13.5? Yes. Yes. Third big jump. That's a big jump. So the last place team, and we ain't catch of Vancouver.

Yeah. It doesn't appear like it. Healthy Thatcher Demko. But then between what? Eight. I'm just saying that once you get to a certain point, like five. and finishing fifth last. You're just firing theirs.

Yeah. No, I think you want to get yourself into the double-digit odds. Yeah. All right. Sorry for you. Poles of the lottery and that determines the order. Here we go. Hey, come on.

And they dropped the sixth. Worst yet. Good work, everyone. Nice to win against that. Jack, how was the show today? Ugh. That just ruined it. Yeah, and it wasn't good anyways.

Shut this shit on place. See you, buddies.
