The Sheet with Jeff Marek - On the Sheet: Hart Levine on Lane Hutson's New Contract

Episode Date: October 14, 2025

Jeff is joined by Hart Levine, founder of PuckPedia, to unpack the numbers, explain how Montreal “grinded” the deal, discuss the player-driven nature of Hutson’s decision, and debate whether the NHL’s salary-cap system makes it impossible to pay stars what they deserve. They also touch on Jack Eichel’s loyalty to Vegas, endorsement economics, and the 2026 free-agent market.Shout out to our sponsors!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼Simply Spiked: https://www.simplyspiked.ca/en-CA👍🏼Shark Ninja: https://www.sharkninja.ca/ninja-crispi-4-in-1-portable-glass-air-fryer-cooking-system/FN101CGY.html?utm_source=Better+Collective&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=H2+Air+Fryer&utm_content=EN👍🏼Uber Eats: https://www.ubereats.com/ca👍🏼Prime Video: https://primevideo-row.pxf.io/c/5560083/3303015/20020Reach out to [e-mail] to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Flames_Nation🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoff Hosted on Acast.

Hi, it's Morgan from Off the Shelf, and I'm here to tell you about Paramount Pictures, new movie Regretting You, a film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling book, regretting you. If there's anything I love more than an adaptation, it's an adaptation that's going to make me feel something. And with Josh Boone, yes, the director of the Faltonar stars, at the helm, I'm ready. Between the first loves, secret relationships, and second chances, I am prepared to be going through every single emotion. This film also has a stacked cast starring Alison Williams, McKenna Grace, Dave Franco, Mason Thames, and so many more. Go see Regretting You Only in Theater's October 24.

Hey there, it's Jeff Merrick here. You know, my wife and I both have countless memories from spending time discovering Canada. Well, I always come back to the summer of 2005. We were staying at a cottage on Lake Joseph here in Muscoca watching the Live 8 music festival in Barry on television. My buddy Jeremy Taggart, former drummer. from Our Lady Peace, dropped by after his band's set and stayed the rest of the weekend at the cottage after the band set and told some incredible backstage stories about some amazing Canadian music icons. I will never forget that. And fast forward to today, I'm a hockey parent, and I feel like I'm always on the road with my family.

Whether that means traveling across southern Ontario hockey ranks during the week or overnight at tournaments on select weekends. But what makes our hockey experience even more special is booking a place on Airbnb when we're on the road for overnight tournaments. All of this traveling got me to thinking, my home's just sitting empty when I could be hosting it on Airbnb instead. I'd simply put up my house on Airbnb, pre-select dates that I want to host, bam. It's practical, easy to manage, and it enables people like me to make some money while they're not at home. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb.ca slash host. In the meantime, our good friend,

Hart Levine joins us from Puckpedia now to talk about Delaine Hudson contract. It may be a sort of casual thought or two about the landscape itself in general. First of all, Hart, thanks so much for popping by today as a transplanted Canadian, now living stateside. Happy Thanksgiving. Same to you.

It's a real happy Thanksgiving for Havs fans and for Lane Hudson's Montreal Canadiens teammates to say nothing of management and coaching staff. This is, I think the kids talk about it in terms of doing a solid. Lane Hudson really did the Montreal Canadiens a solid coming in under what Luke Hughes just got from New Jersey. Quick, wide brush.

We'll start with a roller and go down to a tiny brush. Large, large swarth thoughts on what we saw from Lane Hudson this morning. I mean, definitely what I would think is a bit below market. I mean, you compared it to Conner-McDavid. I think the difference is Conner-McDavid decided what he wanted to get paid, told the Oilers. I think in this case, Montreal basically grinded Hudson down until he just wanted the contract done and, you know, knew he didn't want to get paid top of the market, but whatever, just let's sign this paper

and let me move on and play with my teammates. Yeah, it does very much feel like it's a player-driven thing. I would imagine that sometime, you know, probably after the Detroit game. Like, young players don't want to read about themselves in the newspapers around contract. I understand it. Some players have the skin for it. Others just want their performance to be in the newspapers, although who reads newspapers anymore, be on their digital newspapers and be on their social media feeds.

I really get the sense that Lane Hudson really didn't like this and wanted the focus to be on how he plays and how he's going to play for the Montreal. Canadians, you'll always hear the word distraction around things like this, but make no mistake about it. As much as, as much as Cortex, you know, work this one as much as they could, this very much sounds like Lane Hudson said, just saying, I just want to play hockey. The money is good. Does that sort of act sympathetic to what you've heard as well? For sure. I mean, ultimately, the agents work for the client and the client makes the decision, right? And we've seen lots of deals like that in the past where, you know, maybe on paper that doesn't seem like the most

the player could get, but ultimately, again, they serve at the pleasure of the, of the player. And if the player wants to sign, he wants to sign. You know, sometimes you wonder, though, like, especially a young player, what does that mean later in his career? Like, do they have a different approach later when they feel like they, you know, were team-friendly and made a deal easy to get along with? But, yeah, ultimately, yeah, it's the, it's the, it's the player that decides, and the agent just has to do the best deal they can. When you have a player that is willing to just kind of put it in the hands of the agent. I think that's when you get like a Caprizov deal or even a Luke Hughes deal.

We're willing to sit out. I mean, that gives the agent a lot more leverage when the player is ready to kind of hand it over to the agent and just do, you know, as recommended. You know, that's an interesting observation too. You know, there have been plenty of players who a few years into their contract for various reasons. We can recall Luongo's deal, which, you know, everyone said, you know, too tough to trade. And what was this line? My contract sucks. We've heard other players who signed longer-term deals for less money who towards the end

spend their whole time at the ring grumbling about their contract. The one thing that I take away from this with Lane Hudson, one, as I already mentioned, he didn't want this to be the story right now around himself. And two, and this is not, I remember I did a piece on Lane Hudson and the Hudson family on our Daily Face Off website last year. And the one takeaway that I got from engagement with everybody around the Hudson Boys was they love Montreal. Like I think that, you know, he would much rather be compensated at this level playing with the Montreal Canadians on this team than being compensated at a higher level and playing on a bottom feeding team that's five years away from being competitive. Like I think a lot of this was, A, he loves Montreal.

how can you not it's my favorite Canadian city I'm not sure where you're at on the city itself but loves Montreal historic hockey city obviously this is a hockey family and as Bob McCown used to always tell me and anyone else when we when we worked together with the fans so many years ago don't fuck with happy if you're happy find find a way to stay you know Jonathan Huberto with the Calgary flames he was so happy in Florida how do you turn that down that money that Calgary was offering, but how do you put a price tag if you're not happy somewhere? Clearly, Lane Hudson is happy in Montreal. Yeah, and it is a lot of money.

I mean, who wouldn't want, you know, 8.85 million a year for eight years? The question, you know, and even if Montreal wanted that cap it, you know, to me just looking at it again on paper without the emotions of wanting to be in Montreal, to me, that term on that AAB is more like six years, right? Because if you look at Luke Hughes, who was another 102C player, meaning basically an RFA but not eligible for an offer sheet, you know, there has not been players in that category that have signed for big huge deals, especially recently. And I think that's why Luke Hughes deal took a while. But then if you take Luke Hughes' contract, I mean, Lane Hudson has averaged more points per game.

In fact, this season, as long as late Hudson gets 30 points this season, by the time his next contract kicks in, he would have a higher points per game than Luke Hughes. And let's say, you know, Luke Hughes is bigger and maybe better defensively, so you call them even, you know, Luke Hughes signed for seven years at $9 million. Next year, a $9 million cap it next year is 9.8 because the cap is going up so much, right? So to me that puts like, if you're just looking at it on paper without like the intangibles of, you know, don't mess with happy, that should put Lane Hudson at seven years and 9.8.

So then now you're going a million less than that. And you've added a year to it. Right? So, you know, to me, that's where, like, 8.85 would have been a great deal to me at six years. At eight years, that's where I think it's, you know, it's definitely team friendly. The one area that I look at here and, listen, Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canaanians can't bring this up for that whole cap circumvention thing. But he's in a Canadian market and he's well loved. You know, I think Connor McDavid's endorsements heart are somewhere in the neighborhood. I think it's like

last time I saw on Forbes I think it was like between six and seven million dollars somewhere in there for Connor McDavid he's already one of the most beloved athletes in Montreal now coming on this deal

he'll be even more beloved by Montreal Canadiens fans I don't know how much he'll be able to recoup on endorsements and compensation outside hockey but I'd be willing to bet

that it's not insignificant yeah that's true and in fairness i mean he did get better structure than than lukees right and he got a lot of sly bonus money especially early on and you know with the tax differences and that's a whole you know debate for maybe a less interesting talk show i've got how you structure it for for tax purposes so you know maybe there's an argument that like net of tax because he got the signing bonuses he can he can do more with it than like alookees and then you're right you add in the endorsements but i mean i think that's interesting you know the top play in the NHL you said is six or seven million of endorsement deals,

you'd think that the top player in other sports are getting a lot more than that, right? And it still shows hockey when you put that in context of the other sports, how small it is. And so you talk about like Stephen Stamco is coming to Toronto and he could get the Canadian tire endorsement deal. It's still like kind of nothing compared to the overall contract amount, right? It's true. I'm glad you sort of got us off.

I want to circle back to the Hudson contract in a couple of seconds. but the idea of contextualizing hockey and I know that it's like I hate the analogy of apples and oranges because when you break it down like apples and oranges are more similar than they are different so I tend to use it's true

I don't know why I term apples and oranges are kind of similar than more similar than they are but anyway the term that I like best is the British term chalk and cheese okay so I know we're talking about chalk and cheese here when we're dealing with other sports and hockey

we know where the NFL is at and NBA and Major League Baseball, et cetera. But after a couple of days of really thinking about the Connor McDavid contract, like I know you like as a, you do nuts and bolts of all these things. I'm going to ask you something that's a little more philosophical here. So give it a good chin scratch as I get these words out. I kind of think it's a bad look for hockey. I think it's a bad, the McDavid deal is a bad look for the NHL and the NHL Players Association.

and most specifically, it's a bad look for the CBA, where the best player in the world feels is the only way he can mitigate the mistakes of the past through Ken Holland and managers that have come before Pete Shirelli is to take a significant haircut. There's no other device or lever in this economic document that both the NHL and Players Association have put together where the best player in the team,

in the world can be compensated properly. Make the argument. He left 60% on the table and still win. I think it's a bad look for the league. I don't know how much I'd be puffing out my chest. Look at our guys. Coming in at 12.5 million, he's the best player in the league.

Once upon a time, there was like a chest puffing about, we pay our men here. We pay our boys. Like, we pay our players. Now this is all like, look what our guy did. Like how much discount.

ticket prices aren't going down. Parking prices aren't going down. Franchise values are going through the roof. I know it's a philosophical question, but I think it's a bad look on the league. Do you? I think that's a fair point. But I would say it's more just comparing hockey to other sports,

how the impact that one player has on the overall result is different, right? Like you look at basketball, you can have a team that's two, three guys and kind of everyone else. And that's why you would have one or two guys making like what they call a max in the NBA, right? And we'd have to do some looking at it, like maybe the max in hockey should be less than 20%. Maybe if it was 15%, you know, every team would have one or two max guys and it just would kind of hit there.

But I think, you know, in hockey, I think in fairness, it would be hard to have a Stanley Cup winning team if a player made 20% of the cap. We've never seen it. Now, that doesn't mean that it can happen. But I think we need to see some evidence that you could do that. And I think it's just a factor of, you know, in the NBA, the top players playing 99 to 100% of the floor time. And in hockey, they're playing, you know, a third, maybe half for a defenseman, right?

So, you know, I do think you're right. There's something that feels a little Bush League about, you know, our guy takes discounts, our guys don't get paid enough or as much as they could be. What a great game. That is a little strange marketing tool. But I just think in terms of like the numbers, it does make sense that in hockey, a player, you know, shouldn't get it, wouldn't take as much as possible to feel the most competitive team. We'll have to see, like, what does Minnesota do with Caprizo now, you know,

at the highest percentage that we've seen? But, yeah, I think there's some validity to your point there. Fall is here, and everybody's getting back from vacation, headed back to school. And you know what that means? Yep, it's time to slide into some bombas. What's bombas, you ask? Only the most amazingly comfortable socks, slippers, teas, and underwear. made from the most premium materials. And the best part, one purchased equals one donated across Canada. Bombas makes the best socks for fall to start you off on the right foot.

And the left foot, too. These aren't just your regular old fall colors. They're actually playful and fun. They've even got new sweat wicking socks that keep you energized for those fall workouts or, you know, just running after the kids as they head to school. And can we talk about the comfort? Bombas marino wool socks are so cushy, they're like walking on pillows. Plus, Bomba's underwear feel like nothing, but still support everything.

They even have new heavyweight cotton teas that are extra thick and soft, perfect for layering season. Bombas make slippers that make it hard to leave the house, you know the kind, slippers with indulgent Sherpa lining, cushioned footbed, and even memory foam. Of course, the best thing about Bombas is that for every item you purchase, they donate one to someone experiencing housing insecurity right here in Canada. It seems small, but it does add up. In fact, with the help of Bombas customers all over the world, Bombas has donated over 150 million essential clothing items to people who need them.

That's a whole lot of good. Bombas has a 100% happiness guarantee. That means you're covered for life. reach out to their happiness team for easy returns, exchanges, or replacements.

Hey there, it's Jeff Merrick here. You know, my wife and I both have countless memories

from spending time discovering Canada. Well, I always come back to the summer of 2005. We were staying at a cottage on Lake Joseph here in Muscoca watching the Live 8 music festival in Barry on television. My buddy Jeremy Taggart, former drummer from Our Lady Peace, dropped by after his band's set and stayed the rest of the weekend at the cottage after the band's set and told some incredible backstage

Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb.ca.com slash host. Colby Corn and I, whether it's on his show, my show, on the phone, by text, the one thing that we've sort of arrived to philosophically here, you know, going back to 2005 when the salary cap started to 2025 here, happy anniversary salary cap, coming to now, something has happened along the way once the players accepted the cap. ever since 2005 slowly but surely it seems as if at least it feels to me and I don't think it's right but here it is players carry with them this thought that they have to manage the cap as well and they don't they don't have yeah they're the players it's not their management should

manage yeah but again like how many players I'm leaving this for someone else like it's not your job to manage the cap I don't know maybe it's like too philosophical about the whole thing but it's sort of really, I'm really uncomfortable with it. And when I see the numbers that are involved and what McDavid did, I keep coming back to, this is a league that needs a luxury tax. Colby Cohen's point is the right one. This is a league that needs a luxury tax.

A, somehow players have been lulled into this idea that it's their job to manage the cap. It is not their job to manage the cap. That's fair. And it sounds like, you know, with Connor McDavid and Judd-Moldaver, it sounded like they had like the, you know, beautiful mind drawing out different caps in areas for the oilers.

to figure out what he should get. And you're right, that's not their job. But the one thing that I take, I have a beef with that makes my ear steam is when they say, oh, you know, the PA is going to be upset that the player didn't take as much as possible. To me, that's not anymore. The players get 50%. The players get 50%. Now, Conner-R-David took $8 million less than he should.

That's $8 million more for everybody else. And, you know, I don't know if this has been reported, but players are getting a top-up on their pay from the last couple years because they didn't get $50. So they're going to get a premium on what they paid. So that gets distributed to everybody. So in a hard cap league, there is no reason to try and drive the prices up. There's a reason to drive revenues up because then that will get everybody's contract.

But to say that, oh, Connor owed it to the players or Caprizo really helped the rest of the league, I think is absurd. Because they're getting the same pain no matter what that one guy gets. That is you're 100% right. And that is the sentiment from a bygone era. You know, Bob Goodenow recently passed the former executive director of the Players Association. And when him and Ian Pulver ran the PA, I mean, you remember, I mean, July 1st was like,

okay, this Domino's going first. He's going to sign for this. And this guy's going to sign for that. That's the way it was. And the big guy always set the marketplace. And everybody came underneath to various shade and various degrees. That's gone.

With a hard cap, you're right. That's gone. Your salary is, here's the document. It's triple cap league. here's how much Maxi can make and it doesn't matter how much how much one player signs for whether he's the you know the the top dog in the NHL or player number 750 it doesn't really matter because the days of everybody comes underneath the superstar are long gone um the jack Ikel contract is another one that we looked at and said hmm left money on the table clearly

but to me the mitigating factor here is and I don't think Vegas approached him with this idea or this better phrased this reminder but I don't think players forget when teams do things for them like the Buffalo Sabres are going through a really rough time right now and I don't think that it's lost on Razmustelli and how much the Buffalo Sabres helped his wife Jack Eichael was in a really tough situation with his bodily autonomy and how he wanted his neck dealt with right ADR as opposed to goes to spinal fusion, how many times did you hear that discussion? I mean, I was right in the middle of it, covering it, and even by the end, like, I was

annoyed at me for talking about it so often. But it was a big deal, right? And now, Vegas was a team that said, you're in charge of your body, we're going to support you. We believe in this. We know it hasn't been done in the NHL before, but we believe you should have autonomy over how you want your body treated. I can't help but think in the back of my mind.

Sure, Vegas is a great situation, loves it there, a winning team and all that, but part of that loyalty like that loyalties bought right that loyalty is bought by the biggest goldenites for affording them that and i i can't help but wonder if that's not from the team not from kelly mccrimman but from jack ickel's point of view if that became part of the decision for ikel to come in at 13.5 i think that's true i mean that's that's reasonable i mean we have a lot of evidence um kind on the converse when teams uh make a contract negotiation really difficult or do something um the rub the player the wrong way the player remembers and they don't last long on that team eventually right especially when when the lever changes i mean just look at anaheim who's kind of got a reputation

out for grinding um there are our phase to to kind of dust and like look at the couple guys that are that are gone now right like a jimmy drysdale um and his egress right so i think we know that's true we can see that objectively you're like if there's a bitter arbitration hearing that it usually ends a relationship a couple of years later. So if we know that's true, I think, you know, to your point, the opposite is true, you're right. And if the player, I mean, if the team goes over and above, especially, you know, we've seen things with ownership,

maybe the owner sends a plane to do something for the family, right, or really takes care of the player. It does make a difference. And it goes back to, we can, I can look at my spreadsheet and see what players should get paid and everything. But there is a human element. There's a human element in the Hudson deal where Ken Hughes is negotiating with its former colleagues, right?

there's a human element to Jack Eichel and what that meant to him. And that's why the deals don't come out like what the model should say. So there's still some question marks out there. And now, like I wonder about Adrian Kempe. We all wonder about Martin Natchez. Like, go right, you can, you can, you better than anybody else, Hart. You can rattle off the list of guys that are up on July 1st, either unrestricted or restricted free agents. Do you foresee, I'm going to ask you a question about next July already,

this, you really get ahead of it here. Are we, essentially, what I'm asking is, are we walking into a situation, which we haven't seen in the salary cap era ever, where everybody's got money in cap space and no one to spend it on? I, well, they'll spend it. The question is, who are they going to spend it up?

Yeah. And I think, you know, you mentioned like a guy like Kempai or Tuck, for example, like, another great one. Again, it's hard to dismiss, like maybe they have a great connection with where they or, well, I don't know about Tuck, but maybe Kempay. But, you know, the couple guys that are, like,

in the hall of really good players, not great, but really good players that put themselves out there until July 1st, next year, they will get paid because, you know, the teams had a little bit of money this summer. And for the most part, though, there wasn't much, you know, big names to spend it on. And now we'll get to next summer. And, yeah, these teams, they have a lot of powder to blow.

And, yeah, so it'll get spent. And the question is, is it get to be, like, the kind of A minus guys or is it going to funnel down to the C guys? And it reminds me of that the two UFAsers like when Luchich signed and a bunch of guys signed for like that six times six or seven times six deal. McKinnon. Poso was in there. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like everyone was getting the money because it seemed like the cap had gone up with his money to spend. And so what we look back on that is a class that was, you know, money well spent or a lot of buyouts like we did with that group. Right. And so yeah, the money will get spent next summer. So

some of these furs would be wise to let them uh be the ones to to be the bell of the ball man if you're adrian kempa just like just sit just wait why why sign now right why what's the rush martin nature say what the tuck like i mean what tuck you might as well go to the market even if you get traded let's say he gets traded and it's a nice fit as well go to the market see what happens right and and and artemmy panarin like that's the one that doesn't get a lot of talk um he went to market last time and look how that worked out from he was the highest paid winger for so many years off that UFA deal.

So let's get to the market and see what the suitors have to say. And Colorado actually, it was a shorter term deal, but Colorado actually offered more to Panarin than the Rangers were. Again, mind you, I think it was a three-year deal

Colorado offered, but the money was more. Just Panera just wanted to go to New York. Right? And that's going to be interesting one too because New York wants to go big game hunting always. And, you know, everybody had sort of eyes on, you know, the Edmonton to New York

Express if Connor McDavid didn't resign. I don't think their appetite to spend money on players has gone anywhere. That's going to be an interesting one to follow. And if they miss the playoffs two years in a row, like, should they be spending money like that? Like when they went for Panarin, at least they'd bought them out and they'd had a few top picks and they seemed like they were on the way up. You miss the playoffs two years in a row.

I mean, the Bill Parcells line, you are what standing say you are, right? Like, are you a contending team and are you just like one big UFA away? Now, if they rebound in their, you know, their playoff team, maybe it makes sense to keep adding to the group. But that's an interesting to want to watch. And then you mentioned Colorado, like, yeah, Martin H.S. He seems like if I had a candidate for who's going to sit and wait to July 1st, it seems like from what he's shown us in the past, he's the guy. And so you just have to work down this. Maybe he will be the top guy by next July 1st.

Wilde. I think he'll be on that, right? What's that? I think he'll be on that free agent list. He's shown that he's willing to go to market and bet on himself. Good for him. I do too. And listen, he may have a cup ring to show off for it come July 1st too.

That's how good Colorado Avalanche are. Hart, always appreciate your time. Be well. I know always busy times around headquarters there. And today was a massive one for Buckpedia. And there's probably another announcement coming out from somewhere in about five minutes. So we'll let your fingers get warmed up again. Thanks, pal.

We'll talk soon. Thanks so much. Every day this week, every day this month I can't get out my head Lost all ambitions day to day Because you can call it all right I went to the dark man You're trying to give me a little medicine

I'm like now and that's fine I'm not against those men It's but new It's me and myself And how this gonna be fixing my mind Hi, I turn on the backer, I turned on the days, I've been on the day. to tell you about Paramount Pictures, a new movie regretting you, a film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling book, regretting you.

Between the first loves, secret relationships, and second chances, I am prepared to be going through every single emotion. This film also has a stacked cast starring Alison Williams, McKenna Grace, Dave Franco, Mason Fames, and, so many more. Go see regretting you only in theaters, October 24. Hey there, it's Jeff Merrick here. You know, my wife and I both have countless memories from spending time discovering Canada. Well, I always come back to the summer of 2005. We were staying at a cottage on Lake Joseph here in Muscoca, watching the Live 8 music festival

in Barry on television. My buddy Jeremy Taggart, former drummer from Our Lady Peace, dropped by after his band's set and stayed the rest of the music. the weekend at the cottage after the band set and told some incredible backstage stories about some amazing Canadian music icons. I will never forget that. And fast forward to today, I'm a hockey parent and I feel like I'm always on the road with my family. Whether that means traveling across southern Ontario hockey ranks during the week or overnight at tournaments on select weekends. But what makes our hockey experience even more special is booking a place on Airbnb when we're on the road for overnight tournament.

All of this traveling got me to thinking, my home's just sitting empty when I could be hosting it on Airbnb instead. I'd simply put up my house on Airbnb, pre-select dates that I want to host. Bam, it's practical, easy to manage, and it enables people like me to make some money while they're not at home. Your home might be worth more than you think.
