Starting point is 00:00:41 the steve dangle podcast with your host steve dangle adam wild and jesse blake welcome to the sbpn draft specials draft spectacular um i'm adam wild steve dangle is not here yet he's out doing streeters jesse blake is here as well and it's a bit it's a bit echoing here but we're gonna work on that now listen leo carlson just went second overall and the reason we started the stream late is because we realized we're in a different time zone and we didn't realize that before kind of stupid right uh leo carlson going number two is a huge surprise here uh i think it was steve that was saying earlier today to us that adam fantilli would probably slide to fourth and it looks as though he will hi steven welcome back get on get on the
Starting point is 00:01:33 headset get on in so get in there so leo carlson just like you predicted number two overall it's insane and you won't believe this connor connor bedard went number one wow yeah it's a shock it's a shock to all i think they're gonna regret not drafting fantilli you think so yeah steve why did you know and how did you know this by the way so first of all did you explain why we're on yeah already taken care of oh my god so funny hilarious so you're out doing streeters by the way who'd you run into you ran into some nhl people you ran into we ran into paul bismuth who's just gone oh yeah absolutely gone that's nice nice we ran into a guy uh who was wearing a sous saint marie greyhounds jersey oh nice um that makes sense that was pretty cool so to be clear
Starting point is 00:02:18 i didn't call leo carlson to go second you did call there we go four yeah so it's very interesting i i the ducks are off the board here so the the thing that i compiled in my head was obviously bedar goes first yeah what i did was i took jeff merrick's prediction of mafe mitchkov okay going second and then someone told me uh will smith at three okay so fantilly could fall to four here um it's not the way i envisioned it um oh and i was getting some chirps sorry i'm trying to catch my breath oh that's cool we tried so hard to get here and then also there's four flights of stairs on the way up yeah but um um no i was getting chirps because i made some bets and like i made my bets and then i heard the mitch kov podcast on a public
Starting point is 00:03:18 podcast and then i heard the will smith thing and i'm like oh well too bad i've already i think i put money on uh fantilli going third because i listen to merrick and i had mitch kov going second so right um this opens things up considerably like leo carlson is a ridiculous player it's kind of got everything the highlights they're showing are absolutely ridiculous kind of crazy yeah see this turbo turbs is wondering if fantilly will fall to 28 you know i don't think so well the rumblings the rumblings we're hearing about the leafs that i don't think we're at liberty to say are absolutely absurd um yeah there's apparently some some stuff in the works with the leafs big stuff we do have reason to believe that the preds met with mitch
Starting point is 00:04:02 kov and what's what's going on here like i don't know if that was reported but what's going on here you can kind of see with carlson going second the habs the habs pick at five they're down with potentially trading down yeah the nashville predators want to get into the top five and now kevin weeks and several others are talking about um the possibility of yaroslav askerov the 11th overall pick goaltender the Preds have in their system they're talking about him potentially going somewhere in a deal what do the Habs need really bad they need a goalie of the future Sam Montembeau's fine you know but you you need a star this guy could be a star yeah so I don't know what the package would entail like I can't imagine it's just ask Rob for the fifth overall picks
Starting point is 00:04:52 straight up but I can definitely see a situation where if Mitch Kov um is available still at five if the Preds trade up using Askerov and get him there. And we know in an interview with the Tennessean that Barry Trotz did say, you know, they want to make a splash here in Nashville, move into the top five. He said, you know, obviously you've got to have a dance partner to do that. But if the Montreal Canadiens can manage that, it's a pretty solid little return, right? I mean, it makes sense for them, given what they've done.
Starting point is 00:05:21 But it also makes sense for Nashville as well. Yeah, well, like, I mean, you're just not getting rid of Soros. and you know we talked to some preds fans here and they talked about uh pat verbeek's ducks badges on upside down it's bugging me um is it oh you know what no it's not it's just on slightly yeah it's on an angle adhd definitely definitely need to go get that taken care of do not remember what we were talking oh yeah so uh talking to some preds fans about you know their window or rather the lack thereof kind of right now um what's it going to look like uh in the future but like saros isn't old he's an elite goaltender in the nhl now you're never going to be bad enough
Starting point is 00:06:07 with him to get it bottom five yeah yeah so the only way you're going to be able to do that is there's askeroff who i don't care how well he's done in the minors he's still magic beans you know there's high likelihood he's going to be good um but we don't know that we got columbus pick is in columbus pick is in they're going to talk to 40 people and thank 48 people beforehand and then we'll finally get the pick because they are one thing i'll say is that they are moving a lot faster this year the pick is in uh it's 30 minutes in and we got two picks yeah but the first moving a lot faster than last year though like i think shane wright happened like 90 minutes in the broad we've messed up our time zones and still only missed one pick yeah it's crazy it's
Starting point is 00:06:53 kind of crazy how that happens eh i did i am glad they did the tribute to david poyle though here's john davidson president of hockey ops for the columbus blue jackets it's will it's got to be will smith they are giddy nah could be fantilli my my bets will i'll lock in will smith just because i've been saying it adam who's your pick i think it's will smith as well all right let's go three for three. They had to like calm down behind John Davis and like, Dad's talking. Alright.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Oh my god, Jimmy. You think the best. Alright, enough. Everyone having beers and popsicles at grandma's. There's Yarmulke Kalainen. Adam Fanchilli. Oh, there it is.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Wow, wow, wow. Alright. So here's the thing. Over three, gentlemen. Absolutely. That's a draft. Who cares? Now, I want to know, I mean, they're all great at this level. With Fantilli, you know, what I find sort of fascinating is he's huge, but does he fit the typical Columbus style?
Starting point is 00:07:59 Well, which is defense first, sometimes not a lot of flash, although they have Gaudreau and they want, you know, Lion-A to take back off again. He's better than his peers. Like, he's basically too good for university hockey. he played with men and he borderline proved he was too good to play with them too um so you know it's all eyes on mike babcock um and what he does with this team because i don't really think he matches the stereotype of what you expect the columbus blue jackets to be right grind you down
Starting point is 00:08:31 squeeze blood from a stone like this is a superstar uh this is a potential superstar player and it uh i think now here's what i'm wondering i wonder if mike babcock had a hand in this okay because it's university of michigan he would have seen this kid play a thousand times because supposedly he's still in the area and everything and that was the rumor with zach hyman that you know he watched him play a bunch of times and you know we got to get this guy in the organization or whatever i can't remember if hyman was before or after so not to make this Babcock real estate podcast, but he was living in
Starting point is 00:09:10 was it not Saskatchewan for the last few years because he was coaching there at the university. Did he move from... That is a vest. It is a good vest. That is quite a vest. I don't know if you guys saw this, but the inside of his vest has a bunch of pictures from his junior career.
Starting point is 00:09:26 The inside of his jacket is actually really really cool. Did Babcock move from Saskatchewan to Detroit to watch hockey? i mean or just live there i guess he's mike babcock he's probably got more than one who's yeah okay i just i'm just trying to add up the stories i'm gonna text the person oh his dad just with the tears that's a beautiful thing you know you got to think about all the one thing i do think about is all the early morning practices and the the drive into tournaments and
Starting point is 00:09:58 and especially in the states where the tournaments are like national right they go across the country um canada they're a little bit more localized regional that sort of thing i think it's uh it's pretty fat look at this look at his dad not neither but i'm telling you look on screen his dad come on that's that's the good that's that's what it is right there it's a beautiful thing um what were we talking about yesterday somebody uh they they celebrated for ice cream uh oh what do you do you get drafted and you celebrate what do you do you went they went for ice cream Lena Solmark that's right I think was the story yeah he wasn't expecting to get drafted so he gets drafted he's like I guess we'll go for ice cream that's so they went out and good for
Starting point is 00:10:42 him yeah absolutely Conor Bedard could never would never yeah no this is this is big for them they're kind of thin up front like I know they have Gaudreau I know they have Laine neither of them have played their best hockey uh they're really thin up the middle um boone jenner gets to play in a role that like he probably ought to be playing yeah jack roslovich as well um and you know this talking about babcock again um they didn't really have like a number one center when matthews was a rookie like when he stepped in no because it was cadre who people were like he should be he shouldn't be whatever bozak he should be shouldn't be whatever and then matthews that kid line of hyman matthews and nylander was the third line yeah when it started um so
Starting point is 00:11:34 you know you might look at rossovic you might look at jenner and i mean they're established on each other's adam fantilli's never played there so you can't assume he's better than them right now um i mean maybe he is but uh babcock knows how to spread out the ice spread out the time almost maddeningly so you know a little bit what though it worked for matthews in his first year i will say it did like as much as we didn't love the way some of the things that babcock pulled with mitch marner and some of the other things matthew still went out and scored 40 goals he got his ice time he got his time on the power play and and i think mike babcock is a i mean he's a good nhl coach ken johnson as well you can manage that and i it people like wow i can't stand babs
Starting point is 00:12:18 and i understand personally why maybe you have some objections but when you look at how neil Leonard Matthews and Marner's rookie seasons when he can handle some rookies he has no choice in clubs just like he had no choice in Toronto well and you know he thought outside of the box as well a little bit like having an all rookie line that doesn't seem like a Mike Babcock thing to do does I thought was stupid did you I oh my god I was like well you got to surround these guys and what are you doing but then the the rookies and maybe Columbus fans will find this too the rookies became the best part of the team like bozak and jvr played with connor brown as their babysitter as their defensive babysitter and it worked um for a while i mean he looks pretty happy about it
Starting point is 00:13:04 you got to get people feeling good about putting on a columbus blue jackets jersey well i think this year will be different too because you have probably a full season of david you know we had alan walsh on the podcast earlier today it's one of his clients and and you know he He just won AHL Defenseman of the Year. So you get Juracek and Fantilli injected into that lineup, and we'll see what happens. They've got Provorov as well. I mean, the deals that they've made.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Severson, too. And we're not telling tales out of school. Alan Walsh, David Juracek's agent, was the goaltender for Mike Babcock's team at McGill. Oh, there's a connection there. Babcock was the captain of. Yes. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Okay, San Jose, going to come up, thank a bunch of people, take too much time and then we'll find out. Who do you lock in it for? I don't know where they're going. Is it Will Smith? We haven't heard a lick about San Jose getting Mitchkov.
Starting point is 00:14:02 So it seems like a very specific situation that Mitchkov wants to go to. Will Smith, Reinbacher. Be interesting, but with that. Trying to think of the highest ranked defenseman Do you throw a wrench in it and go for Mitchkoff?
Starting point is 00:14:21 No You're thinking defenseman Yeah I think it's Well you're going to have to replace Carlson right? I'm going down the list What about Ryan Leonard? Could be Ryan Leonard
Starting point is 00:14:35 Another centerman Who was it? No they haven't picked it yet Oh Patty Marlowe He just signed on as a player development coach They just announced that the other day will there he is wow there he is this is cool we got to come up with a new name for this guy what do you mean well there's another famous will smith you see i know but
Starting point is 00:15:02 i don't know who that is but she got punched oh no the the hugs were flying and oh dear i don't know whenever whenever a draft or like a rookie gets drafted i'm always like how do you know that many people like who are these people in the row that you're shaking hands with they get they got their family or whatever and it's like okay then your agent well who else okay so but who are the other guys at the end of the row yeah so i don't know if there's a sign junior b coach comes yeah i don't know if there's a signed seating really so what i imagine happens is like the american program would all sit together um certain ohl guys would would sit together um i don't know how much enforcement there is uh of that i do know that um they have to kind
Starting point is 00:15:49 of protect the players a bit because the nhl draft in person is one of the most ridiculous uh mixtures of elite professional athletes or aspiring professional athletes and to quote one darren drager from a few years ago the unwashed so so the buffalo draft um where matthews went first overall was just mobbed with leaf fans and there was this dude wearing like a mexican wrestler ray mysterio mask uh like trying to get at matthews and matthews and his family were like humoring people and taking pictures but people have to had to kept intervening and be like dude get out of here this kid's about to be drafted like you know might still be 17 or whatever but the the u.s national program has been stacked for several years and this year is no different
Starting point is 00:16:40 so if they were to go back to the olympics uh oh my god oh wow that's gonna be painful yeah so they can press those names immediately as he's drafted yes i think they have more than one ready to go no no they're doing the letter pressing right there really yeah well i know that's that's how they're doing the past i don't know how they're doing it this year maybe they bought all the jerseys but i know uh at least last year's it's a dude who's doing the letter press you know in real sports you go in and get a press they'll have the jersey they'll have uh the san jose jersey ready and they'll get the lettering he puts the name in will smith and in the matter of two minutes he needs to press that jersey and hand it out i ever tell
Starting point is 00:17:18 you i briefly had a job uh doing that for jerseys no yeah in school yeah it was uh the stop signs so if you had a jersey in durham region that was done shoddily you're welcome the stop sign on the back of the soft side on the back of the jersey don't hit me to not hit someone we have a poll running on twitch will montreal take mitch golf uh 59 said no i don't think they're gonna use the pick so this is the exact situation this is it we'll find out if they've got a trade this is the situation we were talking about a few minutes ago if mitch golf is still available at five will we see the predators trade up to get them again i want to ask you if if if the predators do trade up for Montreal's pick is Askerov and the 15th enough to do it well so look at it and or is it
Starting point is 00:18:03 enough for the Preds coming back like is Mitchkoff enough look at it look at it this way um if you were moving up in the draft purely with the 11th overall pick in the 15th overall pick for the fifth would that get it done you have to think it's it's tough because like the top five is like those are the elite of the elite of the elite then it becomes a little bit more of a crapshoot and then it really falls off of a cliff somewhere around pick 15 i hate when the draft guy comes on the tv and he's like ah the draft begins at six you know like that that old phrase you don't know like in five years half of the top five could be bus you know or like there's a guy who's taking 13th might have been number one likely will be yeah the the history of the draft is that
Starting point is 00:18:53 some of the best players are just scattered throughout it one of my one of my favorite drafts is when boston ended up with i think picks 12 13 and 14 or 11 12 13 14 15 16 that's what it was and they selected some guys like jake de brusque was among that but they passed on guys like barzal and and guys that went in kyle connor kyle connor like 40 kyle connor you know it's something that and listen boston doesn't need any help to be great because my god they're always good, but it's one of those where that could have been generational, that draft. Those three picks really could have changed
Starting point is 00:19:27 the forecast for the Boston Roots. Imagine those guys playing with Precci and Bergeron. It's wild to imagine them better. They're keeping this. They are keeping this. We're a minute. 50 seconds? If there is a trade, Gary would step up and say, we have a trade to announce after he gets booed. Then he'd say, you're going to want to hear
Starting point is 00:19:44 this. They would have kicked that in already, right? I don't want to see. Not necessarily. You think so? There's still a chance. wait to the last minute i don't know pick it they're picking very interesting yeah maybe they'll get mitch koff yeah it looks like it that's my bet it's mitch koff here interesting they are yeah they're getting up zach benson gets really good in nhl by the way i'm not you take him in that that first second season yeah he gets really good really he's gonna go very high i'm not sure if you know this but uh brad treliving was escorted off the floor
Starting point is 00:20:15 before that because he cannot be escorted? Really? By who? I don't even know. Police? He was there with people. He was moved off the floor. But there was a lot of chatter with the Leafs before this. It'll be very interesting to see what happens at the first round here for them because I don't think they're moving up.
Starting point is 00:20:33 They are probably moving down, but there could be a player involved in a trade, like a major trade that has nothing to do with this. I can't remember if it was CJ or 32 mentioned Reinbacher with the Montreal Canadiens. We'll see. This is Mishkov. Mitch Koff would be crazy Man, adding Mitch Koff
Starting point is 00:20:50 They're shaping up to be the best goal scorer I'd like to reselect Alex Duhook Use the pick You don't have to thank the Golden Knights Enough The guy behind him looks like Mark Burschman It's a Burschman suit Oh, Carey Price.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Hey! That's too perfect. Carey! They said he was going to be here tonight. They scooped it. That's awesome. Reinbacher. Oh no, he forgot his name!
Starting point is 00:21:36 Oh no. No! wow oh no oh we just had our first viral moment oh no he he pulled a oh he pulled a bob clark with claude geroux oh my god oh no that's that that's a nightmare i couldn't watch that man i feel for him i feel for him oh and you know he feels not great about that right now Oh, poor kid Poor Kerry Oh, the kid seems fine
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yeah, I think he's fine Also, what did I tell you about Rheinbacher? I gotta go get the door You gotta go get the door? Oh, okay Oh Do you mind bringing my I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:22:31 I was raised by an Italian woman We locked the door My laptop, if that's okay It's just in my bedroom Did you order us coffees? yeah i did i would love one okay um so uh i ordered us enough coffee for tonight and tomorrow um oh wow so there's some milk in that uh so like regular milk yeah you want me to get farty yeah get farty man let's go is there any food no there's food in there though there's like wings
Starting point is 00:22:55 and stuff i don't think we can eat on mike absolutely yeah we can yeah that's that's not here also dad dad uh jesse got us uh some pulled the pulled pork barbecue so we're gonna have a delicious meal i'll be a good boy uh later you can uh you can hear my voice between the uh pedal tavern yesterday the um live event that we had today and the streeters that we just shot um i cannot talk right i'm not gonna have a voice tonight that's it's okay it's okay oh i am sick for carrie price well okay is it that bad yes why is it that bad tell me why it's that bad because that moment lasts forever like okay think of how many times you've either seen video of or heard the voice of mark hunter getting up on stage and announcing austin matthews yeah we're proud to
Starting point is 00:23:51 announce tsn's gonna use that in their top 10 from zurich or sports center uh things i tell you what you're lucky i don't do dang it's anymore bud yeah that's rough thank you oh yeah that is the tough stuff so the wings are in there uh they're in that one reinbacher by the way um i mean now they got david reinbacher and lane hudson on the back end they got nick suzuki and Cole Caulfield up front. Dude, I hate to say it, this team is going to be really, really, really,
Starting point is 00:24:28 really good. I do think... You guys can walk across. Drew, there's walking across. You guys can grab chairs from out there if you want. Oh, there it is. You guys did not see
Starting point is 00:24:43 Carey Price went up to announce the fifth overall pick, and he forgot the dude's name. He said David. David and then went had no idea I don't know he's just supposed to remember so they did a tribute too and every single pick
Starting point is 00:24:59 they've thanked they've congratulated David Boyle and congratulated the Golden Knights oh my god guys just move on now we got a nice commercial break the Coyotes are still on the board though with 2 minutes and 35 seconds left to pick so okay
Starting point is 00:25:15 Mishkov is the one that everybody kind of wants to know about right we all well so the preds fail to get into the top five yep we know that now what does it do for a guy like askerov where you know you were shopped but also is that just the business though well yeah but it's gonna mess with your head but are you shook by the fact you were shopped or are you comforted by the fact that they couldn't let you go because if i'm uh barry trotz that's how i frame it right like you know what teams were asking for you we never actively shopped you i mean i don't know something about big old lies yeah around the
Starting point is 00:26:00 draft um teams kept calling and we just hung up on him oh i'd lay it on all thick yeah yeah for you're our guy except uc's our guy except until you push him you know that's i by the way if you're looking for a recap uh surprise surprise conor bedard goes number one but the actual big surprise is leo carlson going number two to the ducks on the espn pre-show uh there were several ducks fans in the audience with fantilly jerseys um with fantilly ducks jerseys oh it's interrupt fantilly goes three to columbus and then of course um uh reinbacher fourth to sorry fifth the montreal canadians fourth was will smith will blue jackets that's right so um you know the thing is mitch koff seems to be the best player available what's up but who's going to
Starting point is 00:26:48 take him what's that montreal picks last name right ryan parker ah i didn't get it from the tv oh no yeah that's very unfortunate carrie buddy i'm sick for you god that sucks they got to do something with the canadians uh social media team for that will smith looks wildly like carter for higgy it does i dare you side by side who is this team with the all magic hoots yeah look who upped the budget by the way they did a little press conference at about five o'clock today talking about they bought a bulk yeah dude um they uh um the coyotes had a little announcement and i guess they're sorting out their arena but they should have an announcement it was an announcement to make an announcement about the arena they don't really it was yes and
Starting point is 00:27:37 basically it was just well they look like it looks like they're going to buy private land and just build the arena without public approval because they wouldn't need it yeah that's what they're saying if uh no if they had good news to announce they would have announced it but they don't so shut up well i i don't know why i thought because it was right before the draft that they had something that would have made sense you know what i'm saying bring it all yeah grab bring it all over man um there's plates and stuff yeah and there's coffees in there it's a super tall one is me but other than that they're all yours it's just a matter of how long can i resist having food on the mic all right here we go
Starting point is 00:28:13 is this morello why do we have to congratulate the coyote or the knights every day i don't understand that. I don't understand the Stanley Cup thank you. Thank the store you got the suits from. No. Maybe in a little bit. This guy walks across the screen right before a pick.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Hey! Hey! Oh! Oh, it's Simishev. I thought it was going to be Mishkov. Yeah, yeah. No, he's St. Petersburg. That's... All I heard was Russia.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Mishkov wasn't even the first Russian. That's crazy. Dmitry Simishev. He's going to Washington now. Now we know. He's got to fall to Ovi. Simishev was ranked about 24th, 25th of a lot of people's
Starting point is 00:29:22 Draft rankings, 6'4", 200 pounds. According to our scouting expert, Justin Fisher, he's an alarmingly good skater with sound defensive game. Throws a hit every so often. If the offense comes, as some might suspect it will, good luck. You know what? Good luck to the other teams. I'm trying to think of the last time an NHL draft pick looked as openly shocked
Starting point is 00:29:48 as Samashev. Shocked. That dude's supposed to go in the teens. Yes. Wow, wow, wow. You know what? The Coyotes draft kind of funky, too. They've done this a few times in recent memory.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Oh, he's got good hands. I'm trying to remember all the names. Clayton Keller I don't think was off the board. Oh, Barrett Hayton was way off the board. That's a good pick. I remember. He's done pretty well. Like, he's got great patience.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Interesting for the Coyotes to do an off-the-board pick, too. because you would think in their position they'd want to go as safe as possible just to accumulate talent. They don't have the biggest scouting staffs, but they must believe in this guy. This kid looks fired up. He's pumped.
Starting point is 00:30:31 What you said about that's the first Russian is shocking. Yeah. No, it's completely shocking. Mitch, I would love, love at some point for someone to do a deep dive about what the hell happened because like this time last year was bedard one mitch kov two maybe fantilly two but probably
Starting point is 00:30:56 mitch kov two like because we don't get into specifics a year out we're just like who's the best the best player is bedard number one who's second best mitch kov he's number two but then you get tilly and yeah it was like it was a chance and there were whispers but like maybe leo carlson and you know that was that was the top four for a very long time was bedard mitchkov fantilli leo carlson um so mitchcock it it you know i don't like evoking the name um you know may he rest in peace but this this reminds me of shara panoff who was supposed to go i believe fifth overall in his draft year can't remember the draft year 2009 and he dropped all the way to, I think, 17th.
Starting point is 00:31:46 So... Billy. Billy going to race you with Ovechkin? We've heard he's not going to get past Ovechkin and the Capitals at 8. So it's either 7 or 8.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Imagine they get the best goal scorer and then draft the best goal scorer. Okay, question. Yes. If you're going to take... I want to talk more about the coyotes for a second you're gonna take a risk right they don't see that simishov is is outside of the top 20 in terms of a lot of draft rankings not mckenzie's mckenzie so
Starting point is 00:32:26 it's more insider had him at 19 had him at 19 okay so if you're gonna take a risk i'm i'm surprised that if you go okay we have an enormous risk tolerance here right that's what we're looking at you're not gonna go with the the guy who could be a generational scorer that is interesting to me i i think mitch kov and his camp have made it very clear i will go here i won't go here i think when you draft him you still have those rights and therefore can trade them yeah but then other teams are going to feel like they have you by the balls yeah if he doesn't want to play for you it's better off we go get somebody who will well and it looks like simishoff did yeah i mean he looked excited he looks excited this high in the draft when you're supposed to go in
Starting point is 00:33:10 the teens that's crazy you better be excited and like look at what we've talked about over recent months jack hughes has a great instagram that was a great instagram well what we've talked about over recent months like pierre luke dubois seems like a pain in the ass right um bless him for you know i mean i don't think he feels like a pain in the ass he just got like a 65 something in la million yeah he's doing okay but what did the buffalo sabers prioritize when they got rid of jack eichel they wanted guys who wanted to be sabers alex tuck wanted to be a saber he was jacked to be a saber perhaps peyton krebs jacked for the opportunity he got an opportunity which when he when you know the ryan o'reilly deal happened so he was never going to get that
Starting point is 00:33:55 in st louis perhaps the same way what does craig conroy want he wants flames he wants everyone to oh pick us in stop asking for trades is it philly philly something just happened no this is all the recap it's all the recap i was like what just happened we had a bunch of things happening we had our we had a bunch of people at the event today that we had uh at the salt bar here in nashville for the big blackhawks party it's full of people and they fired off a bunch of confetti it's crazy uh i think to me andrew crystal is the guy the flyers go to i just can i read you something on so evaluators from this room the score elite prospects and the athletic and the Hockey News had him as a top 10
Starting point is 00:34:37 prospect. Others, including SportsNet and TSN, didn't. The debate comes down to tools versus production. Simistars has been lauded by scouts for his size and mobility, but he only scored one goal in 12 points in 33 games against Russian junior teams.
Starting point is 00:34:53 So it's a project. Yes. So it sounds like he didn't put up the production, but the body and the talent is there. If I'm not mistaken, they don't have an NHL team. Here they go. They thank people. Thank you, Keith. You know what?
Starting point is 00:35:25 That was funny by HockeyStanders. Man, Philly's got a lot of new heads. there it is wow wow wow mitchkov going to philly trying to see the reaction by the way our rankings are sort of consolidated but they are brought to us by the people at elite prospects so you know when i'm when i'm referencing stuff that's inside or outside and listen who really knows um it's uh you know it's from a pretty good source that's a handsome suit mitch koff uh has what they call um it's not the biggest or the fastest puck skills and shot or what people love and his offensive iq are just
Starting point is 00:36:15 off the charts um he does have a two-year contract in russia uh and here's the thing that with khl contracts is if you sign one and then you want to leave early you have to buy it you buy it out you buy yourself out of a contract which prevents a lot of people from doing it because who's got a million rubles to do well so i'll give you a nightmare scenario well there's uh there's jonas frogan who had to buy himself out of his uh swedish contract leo comrade a long time ago i don't remember if comrade did but um um uh jonas frogan had to buy himself out the leafs helped them out financially which got them a fine uh they lost a draft pick i think for it but the nightmare scenario remember petri conchiola yeah i do and he was very briefly a leaf could not hack
Starting point is 00:37:05 it with the skating um at all so after buying himself out of his deal he didn't even make the team out of camp and he was with the toronto marlies as a result and he was super unhappy um and then he just ended up going back to the khl he was back in the khl by christmas after buying himself out of his deal you know what i understand him being upset but if you're him you have to take that chance you got it you got to try you got to try there's too much money on the table right like who's not listen you're betting on yourself by the way you can tell that they just pressed that jersey because the mitch cop plate is just basically falling off oh no the dude is pressing the jerseys right there yeah and he seems pretty happy yeah he's not
Starting point is 00:37:50 he's not too upset about that no you know and the way the way people talk about this kid like i'm i'm cheering for his success um they talked about him like in kind of an inhumane way or like a dehumanizing way well it was because of the passing of his father was part of that right well no like like oh he will only go where he wants to go and and stuff like that and like you even got you know me theorizing that's what's happened based on you know the conversations that we've heard and oh he's going to washington he's going to what why wouldn't he go to philly why not well it doesn't look like he's upset about that no i don't think you said he would only go to washington i think you said he would fall past washington also uh just looking at him
Starting point is 00:38:35 the height and weight that is listed you dirty liars this kid's this kid's uh pretty solid yeah i think he's gonna put on a lot of weight just looking at him oh yeah he is standing side danny brayer you're right Shut up He's got his Translator with him Oh He says he's going to come to the NHL quite soon
Starting point is 00:39:17 Because he's ready i mean i do not doubt that he could uh make the nhl right now sure there's no doubt especially the flyers like even going seventh overall there's a pretty solid chance he's the second best player if you're the flyers do you not let him just play in sochi another year before you so you get your shit sorted out because really let's let's be straight there's not going to be a lot of protection for him right you can you know guys like if lawton's gone hayes is gone um you know the some of the bigger guys i know you got cam atkinson coming back but like you could take shots at this guy if the flyers are soft i know torts wants them to play mean but
Starting point is 00:39:59 who's being on the flyers roster right now who's gonna stick up for this guy well there's there's a lot of summer left right and like they're the sanheim trade could happen tonight could happen tomorrow um connect me could be on the way out of town too yeah he's a mean he's mean he's a mean guy but like they have john leclaire they have keith jones who's a not a nice man on the ice yeah really great off the ice oh great off the ice not a nice man on the ice um so i'm not too worried about mitch kauf getting protected um i think they would want to bring him in as soon as possible because uh it's probably a big culture shock too and also you know he's using a translator right now the the sooner you get him here the the sooner you know he can learn english which is
Starting point is 00:40:43 going to help him with everything like forget the media uh it's going to help him with everything i am fascinated though what's going to go on with the uh washington capitals here because i feel like they were sort of pigeonholed with oh they're going to get mitchcoff they're going to get mitchcoff i wouldn't be shocked at all if they got zach benson what do you like about benson he's just there's been a lot of a lot of buzz a lot of buzz around him and every time i talked about him dropping i was shot down you're an idiot there's no way he's going to go out of the top 10 he's ranked six with elite products prospects here's what they said about zach benson tons of skill point producing machine in the whl strong effort the catch he is five nine
Starting point is 00:41:26 and 163 pounds is that enough to scare teams away from the upside especially this high now killer yamamoto had that a lot of that too like some of the smaller guys mitch marner had that he's about to get bought out so the WHL makes diamonds so it's a big league full of big kids so if there's a small guy
Starting point is 00:41:47 who maybe comes from some other program maybe you think about it a little bit but that's WHL produces NHL ready talent with pretty good regularity it's a big mean league, I wouldn't worry about Zach Benson
Starting point is 00:42:05 But I don't know. I think the Capitals get pigeonholed into being the only team that drafts Russians because of Alexander Ofechkin. And I'm just not sure that's how it works. This is David Boyle, Lovefest, eh? Makes sense, he was the GM. I get it, but it's like, do we have to do it every pick?
Starting point is 00:42:27 We'd like to say, get wrecked and keep complaining to anyone streaming. Oh wow, they made that pick extremely fast. ryan leonard okay here we go another guy out of the u.s program dude if they if we ever go back to the olympics uh they're gonna be so stupid teammate of will smith leonard is committed to boston college uh which is probably okay for the capitals uh i love that program size skating physicality a complete power forward but is he a center at the top level that's the question well he's listed as right wing yeah on the ground yeah and they got a lot of questions
Starting point is 00:43:04 up the middle too uh because that's off is he in is he out obviously backstroms as i like to say he's not on the back nine he's on the back three right um i tell you what they're gonna need to replace a guy on the wing in a few years it's gonna be a while for that it's gonna be a record broken i think before that yeah to replace alexander ovechkin yeah yeah yeah maybe maybe there's a scenario where they go you know what we don't need to bring ovi back you can retire we got ryan leonard i uh you can play on a line with ovi that'd be sick let me ask you what are the capitals mid
Starting point is 00:43:45 they're mid as hell like it's they're uh it's funny seeing the pittsburgh penguins and the Washington Capitals in near-identical positions where they have some good bits. Their veterans who are on the back nine are still sick. But they're just... Are we talking about the Washington Capitals winning the Stanley Cup right now? No, we're not. No.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Are we talking about the Pittsburgh Penguins winning the Stanley Cup right now? No, not quite. I don't think Riley Smith's going to put them over the top, although I did like that move. Well, yeah, but I'm just like, as they stand right now. Can you see them making the playoffs? Both of them, yeah. Both of them, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:25 I think the Caps need goaltending. I think Pittsburgh's a goaltender and a forward away from contending. Yeah, and then if you get to the playoffs, are you betting against Crosby, Malkin? I mean, they are in the late 30s. Absolutely not. Yeah. All they have to do is get in.
Starting point is 00:44:40 I don't know why you're so down on them. Because they're mid. Yeah, they don't have a goalie. Yeah, but if they get in, they're good. If they simply got one of the hardest positions to lock down. If they get in. Yeah. so listen the playoffs when you're in the position that the penguins were
Starting point is 00:44:54 the playoffs start two weeks before the playoffs and they buckled so you know get in and like look at the florida panthers they won that dog fight yeah you know even if they had to rely on a pittsburgh loss to do it whatever you know they put themselves in a position for that by winning all those games and then florida was you know that's a team oh if they get in because they friggin did yeah i can see a team like we're talking about next season you know it's a team that uh in pittsburgh that just went through that that colossal collapse and now they got rid of their management now kyle dubas is going to do some interesting things this offseason and i know adam hates it but he believes in the core and he's going to build around them we'll see what he does
Starting point is 00:45:38 if he can do something interesting with the lineup i can see them going on a similar trajectory as florida where they can sneak into like a sick lead it's one more damage jesse i think it's one more time and then he'll say see i can't uh by the way drew just texted me he said washington is way effing worse than pittsburgh and he's right yeah there's a lot more holes in that line yeah no i think i'd agree with that also they didn't have tom wilson for basically the holes i but does that change them that much i know he's a huge presence but does it change them that much next season again you need excuse me you need darcy kepper and and drew would know darcy kemper quite well you need darcy wasn't great you need darcy kemper to be great you
Starting point is 00:46:19 really do can a goalie be great behind that defense oh can you and and can you find the defensive players to put around john carlson to allow him to be great allow him to just do whatever you just let john carlson be john carlson can't just be built around the power so leonard had no name on the back of his jersey according to the chat they were ready so it looks like the jersey presser wasn't ready or it fell off on the way so anybody that gets to the beginning of the stream there's a dude there who within the two minutes that the pick is announced and brought to him and then the guy's got to walk up he's got to press the jersey onto that team selection and then hand it to them and with leonard they
Starting point is 00:47:01 man they've done pretty well in the first round holy cow cider raymond casa i really like i don't know much about edvinson but marco casper i know is supposed to be really good i don't i i feel like red wings fans are some of the more pessimistic fans that i speak to um because they expect a certain standard and if they don't see a future that has federov konstantinov eiserman yeah you know what you know what vibe i'm getting i think a lot of red wings fans thought that they would be the new jersey of that last year i thought they looked at their roster and they thought there was a little bit more upside i'm still i'm not down on them the one thing i'd say is uh uh i would have moved heaven and earth to try to keep uh tyler bertuzzi if i was done
Starting point is 00:48:00 uh omar white just uh text messaged me he's like i know it's the draft but he just sent me the puckpedia link for david comp's contract you guys want to hear about it oh no uh no you're a very funny man uh four years 2.4 million dollar cap in the deal the first year is a $1 million base with a 1-3-5 signing bonus. Here's 2-4 1-3-2-5 signing bonus. Careful with your mic, by the way, just because people are thumping and that sort of
Starting point is 00:48:28 thing. So, yeah, that's what I'm trying to avoid. Here's the part that I think is going to bug you, because the signing bonus is good. It makes it a tradable deal, whatever. Oh, Detroit is in. Drew goes, what a loser. Yeah, you can imagine trading.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Nate Danielson. Why are you happy? Why are you happy? That's why I did that on the podcast. And you can bet that they had over under top nine, and I said Nate Danielson will be a top nine pick. Danielson has skill
Starting point is 00:49:07 size and plays a premium position, but no one seems certain on whether he'll be a top six or a bottom six center in the long run. He comes from Brandon Wheat Kings, had 78 points in 68 games see the league whl interesting whl premium american program premium i got another favorite red wing um by the way no one daniels damn that is quite the jacket i'm going back into uh uh this is the david comp wrinkle you guys need to hear yeah um years one to three
Starting point is 00:49:39 include... Are you ready? Don't you dare. 10-team no-trade list. Shut up. Shut up. David Kampf. Yo, okay. I don't want to be this guy.
Starting point is 00:49:55 That's a horrible start for Bradshaw Living. You think so? Dude, that contract sucks. It seems that they just... The contract sucks. I thought your reasoning on the show today was really good. No, okay, like... The Leafs back themselves into a corner needing to have
Starting point is 00:50:11 a guy like Kampf. That's too much. He scores seven goals. Now, I wonder if part of the reason he had seven goals isn't because he's bad, but because they just make him do all the defensive stuff. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:50:25 No trade? Only ten teams, right? That's not what you said? He traded for 2200 teams. He has played 82 games both of the last two years. Healthy. Good. He has the most abs per 60 on the team.
Starting point is 00:50:43 He does. It was up for debate when Engvall was there. No, he's not. Face-off percentage is somewhere between 51.5 and 52. We like that? Justin, do we have something breaking? The Ducks just showed off their new jersey. The chat, hey, we're listening too.
Starting point is 00:51:04 They were asking us to look at the Ducks Millennium jersey or something that they posted on their Twitter. Millennium jersey. Let's look at it. Oh, okay. Is it bad? Alright. 30th anniversary. Alright, I like that. That's like an OG duck jersey. I don't mind that at all.
Starting point is 00:51:20 I think I like that. That's very cool. Isn't it like 3D? Like the crest there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's cool. Good for them. It's okay. It's okay. I like it. Yeah, it is. That's interesting. I'll allow it.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Oh, it's a Starbucks logo. Oh, no, Jesse. Blank. Tired shark. It's a Starbucks logo. Oh, Mr. Goodman. Sammy Flo wants to know on Twitter, did Jesse actually win money with Sports Interaction
Starting point is 00:51:56 on the Nate Danielson pick? Did you bet on it? Yeah, I won like a dollar. You won a dollar? Yeah, no, it would have been, because I can't check the account because I'm in the United States right now so I can't log in and check.
Starting point is 00:52:10 So I think I would have won like two bucks or something. But yeah. Yeah, yeah. Not bad. I got it. Wow. Yeah, so everybody's trolling it because it's a Starbucks logo. Oh no. That's what's happening.
Starting point is 00:52:28 People are mean. I like it. is mitch caught via translator from justin fisher this is the team that i wanted to play for who who uh was this on the draft floor charlie o'connor that's a good quote um top down hockey patrick bacon has dimitri simashev he ranked him at 176th overall he's a hogging defenseman who split time between the k and the m the mhl being the lead below the k unfortunately his mhl production was mediocre and his khl production was non-existent hopefully he's good defensively so what if we scout russia like crap because remember
Starting point is 00:53:19 why how could you not well especially now yeah like i think the information was probably shoddy before but now there's a war yes um like god knows you know how many games scouts are actually getting out to um how reliably the scouts are able to relay information you know face-to-face meetings how many scouts are not able to attend this draft that's a good question you want to shout that out for us uh who is this got 23 subs oh my god 23 stuffs uh subs from spiteful ganon love you that's great that's excellent
Starting point is 00:53:56 yeah thank you you you okay all right who goes next St. Louis
Starting point is 00:54:05 oh this is a fascinating team I honestly I'm so loving what Doug Armstrong's been doing I mean what he's
Starting point is 00:54:17 been in on big what are they talking about right now that's uh Pete Chiarelli, by the way. Is he part of the Blues staff? Apparently.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Talking with Doug Armstrong. Well, do not drop that jersey, kiddo. Otherwise, we'll all know. They just said on the TV, I think the Blues take a defenseman. Well, we know they're trying to move on from Torrey Krug. Maybe Axel Sandin? Doug Armstrong.
Starting point is 00:54:45 Coolest name ever? Axel Sandin. Oh, yeah. Doug Armstrong just took a moment to like joke with who's the coach used to be assistant coach with the Leafs he's the head coach Spencer Carberry no
Starting point is 00:54:59 TJ no Brennan oh my god why am I forgetting his name who's the head coach of the Sens oh DJ Smith got it Jesus TJ take your text
Starting point is 00:55:15 check in my text oh yeah the one from Drew Dalibor Dvorsky a center not a
Starting point is 00:55:26 defenseman oh wow yeah okay so Adam you've been really high
Starting point is 00:55:32 on drugs but also on the St. Louis Blues yes and the St. Louis Blues
Starting point is 00:55:39 you know they're trying to move on from Torrey Krug but like they also moved on
Starting point is 00:55:44 from their captain who may not be back in Ryan O'Reilly and if he is back how long is he going to be I don't know I don't know if he's back now that Kevin Hayes isn't
Starting point is 00:55:53 exactly right so I'm trying to talk myself into him being an impact player on the team now or even a couple years I don't think so I don't think so I mean he might play but like you'd have him what third on the team ideally uh according to uh elite prospects is one of the top draft picks heading into the season great offensive skill up and down here in Sweden questions around skating oh no what can the can the camera see that is it oh no yeah i can't get close here give it to drew drew hold this up let's see is it the will smith thing no no what is it oh yeah i know they can see that your face and it says divorce key who wrote that oh no give it down is that on twitter it's uh insider j money
Starting point is 00:56:49 man that's okay what did you must have thought of this ahead of time yeah i tweeted that out with the quick oh yeah wow no it's not insider j money it's uh jonathan Thawne. Oh, my bad. Yeah, I know. Jonathan. Oh, my bad. Sorry. Shout out, Jonah. I'm just so used to saying Insider Jonah. Jonah Thawne. It's retweeted on my timeline there. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:57:18 That's hilarious. That's good stuff. Are you bringing back Rhino Rally to the Leafs? Well, okay, so Freach apparently is talking about that on 32 Thoughts and saying that at times it's look like it's closing in and at times it's look like it's falling apart again with with what ryan o'reilly r.o.r yeah i don't i don't have a read on that at all if it's almost like he ryan
Starting point is 00:57:47 o'reilly it listening to the insiders i feel it gives me less information i yeah you know what i mean it makes me more confused i wonder with ryan o'reilly okay so if they if they show up the centers would be matthews tavaris o'reilly conf right which i would love you would love that of course i would but you then have two centers who are not really fleet of foot that's fine you think you're okay with that's fine speed on the wings play smart i mean they do and they are fantastic players in terms of like where they are positioned yeah but does that hurt you in the playoffs if you if the leafs especially because here's the problem the leafs can't seem to slow
Starting point is 00:58:25 other teams down. The Leafs did play wide-open games. Other teams played wide-open games. The Leafs got slower and... That's a D problem. And that's the thing that True Living wants to focus on this summer. Yeah. This is... Yes, they're just showing a graphic
Starting point is 00:58:44 of all the Slovaks picked. I remember Robert Petrovic. Was Gabryk up there? Oh, yeah. Third overall pick, Aaron Gabryk. He was sick. he's one of those like underrated sort of oh man if you watch Marion Gabrick
Starting point is 00:59:00 when he was a rookie oh my god he's not old let me tell you kid I know back in the day according to Craig Morgan Simishev is under contract for two more years at Locomotive but would welcome the opportunity to play
Starting point is 00:59:14 in Arizona as quickly as possible he'll visit Arizona after the draft but cannot participate in camp due to contractual obligations that's i really i want more info how did he go so high i want to know what they think yeah fascinated that like i said arizona hasn't been afraid to go off the board like barrett hayden was pretty far off the board yeah um and another six overall pick defenseman who everyone thought was picked way too high more outsider so fine look at how terrible that worked out yeah he's
Starting point is 00:59:47 piece of crap it's terrible the red wings have another pick in the first round coming up at 17 unless stevie y gets silly yeah i'm waiting for the trade so where's the explosions that we were promised someone be silly someone just do something so what was that charlie from the chat oh charlie from game over ottawa divorce key is what hockey players call it when their parents split up jesus someone said where in the u.s are you guys we are in nashville at the draft but not at the draft yeah we're not at the draft uh we weren't credentialed and we applied for them and uh yeah i did yeah jesse applied for them but they sent us a really nice response
Starting point is 01:00:43 they didn't respond yeah when they deny your credentials they just don't send you anything so you just play the waiting game it's funny we've been learning about the credential game you know who does respond every time the nba every time it's wild nhl not a league yeah so their people are pretty split on the uh on the ducks uh jersey i think it's spectacular i really love it also the hockey chat wants us to know that it is not purple it's plum uh look for willander here potentially with the canucks oh edward sale is my pick i'm gonna go all over more all right let's go loser has to chug barbecue sauce no no she likes the bathroom oh came in granados with uh the canucks i forgot
Starting point is 01:01:28 oh now well done steve i remember we had uh we had ray ferraro on uh on agent provocateur and cammy and and and ray are married and have been for years yes and it's funny because obviously ray's a hockey commentator but he was telling stories about how um he'll he'll like text her and be like are you guys making a move here or there and she's like i don't know what you're talking about they like she has died everything they do like you imagine right that's a bit of a weird spot to be in oh yeah she is up high with a huge nhl franchise and he is up high with espn like that is that's a crazy house let's we can't talk about that can't be a lot of situations like that you guys want to do some uh tommy willander trivia yeah what do you got is tommy
Starting point is 01:02:20 tall blonde handsome and swedish yes yes i think that's a part of being swedish i think that's part of the thing uh he looks like ai generated william nylander yeah no why are all swedish people absolutely gorgeous and tall and blonde you see that with the dutch too they're all super tall super unreal there's like a thing that you know that it's i'm not to get history on you guys but romans used to write about it they used to write about these tribes that were tall and had they called them clear eyes but they were blue eyes and uh they would come out of the mountains naked and attack them dude of course you know this well it's just it's kind of it's been going it's people have been asking jesse's question for 3 000 years um by the way uh in case you're
Starting point is 01:03:07 wondering with blander he is committed to bu for next year six one right shot strong defensive chops uh they're wondering about his committed to be you yeah yeah yeah oh yeah uh their question is you know does the offense develop he in rope with rogel in the j20 program 25 points at 39 games that is you know as a defenseman not bad four goals um and you know to be honest it's it's difficult sometimes out of the swedish leagues to know exactly but i look at didn't Lilligren play for Rogel, too? I believe so, yes. So it's a good program.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Oh yeah, Rogel's a good program. And sometimes it takes a few years. Yeah, and you know... Did Nylander play for Rogel? Nylander played for like three... Nylander played for the Marlies. Nylander went through a little phase where he played for absolutely everyone.
Starting point is 01:04:00 But this is Willander. Justin's pointing out a lot more European players go to the USHL or college big trend over the past couple years that's true alright question from the chat it was a Mr. Booth tweet will this happen? I love Mr. Booth
Starting point is 01:04:23 do you think Willander will eventually be dumped as part of a trade to get rid of JT Miller's contract? Oh my god Jesus! That's so dark Booth what are you doing? Oh my god no man
Starting point is 01:04:37 he's such that's like next level there is something about that account that guy whoever runs that account I find it so funny that's hilarious he's so funny he specifically said in 2026
Starting point is 01:04:55 of course that's good stuff wow Arizona is back on the clock so this will be their second pick of the draft so wow those are two picks really close to now okay question with arizona they've gone off the board with simashov and again a lot of people like they probably if they had left him he probably would still be available they have another one that's so strange so i mean they obviously had
Starting point is 01:05:25 intel that's true do they go well okay did they have intel or were they were they thrown off or they just thought this is the sixth best player and we want them so who do they go with now do you go with the high risk pick like similar shop but listen from the outside is he a high risk pick yes to them clearly not what do you do do you go safe at 12 or do you take another big risk because you're arizona and you have a bazillion picks well safe is probably uh a guy who i said would not uh fall out of the top 10 and has zach benson that's a good that makes a lot of sense i like I mean, the fun thing with Arizona is I don't know if they can make a bad pick because usually, you know, we take a look at the team's pick
Starting point is 01:06:09 and we're like, oh, yeah, well, this guy's getting a little older. Like, they need everything, dude. They need everything. This pick is Ottawa's pick. This is probably the Chikrin deal. One connection we didn't make with Willander and Vancouver was the sweetest connection, obviously, the Sedins. Apparently, he grew up a big Canucks fan.
Starting point is 01:06:28 So he's getting to go to his favorite childhood team because of the Sedins. They've drafted a ton of Swedes over the last little bit This is fascinating I'm really excited for this I forgot Lekaromaki last year too, I got to talk to him
Starting point is 01:06:49 They drafted in the third round another Elias Pedersen I forgot They have two guys in the organization They used their top two picks last year on Swedes There's the chicken deal They have it on the screen. I wonder what...
Starting point is 01:07:02 So much. I like that deal for the Sens. That was the right call. That's a lot, though. It's a lot, but it's Chikrin. And he's a 12th overall pick. But again, what's their window? Their window is the next three, four years.
Starting point is 01:07:17 That's what they think. So this guy... I was like, wait, what? That's what they think. Nor is healthy. I mean, I think they're in the playoffs. This has got to be Zach Benz. No.
Starting point is 01:07:29 No. Was it from Yaroslavl again? Daniel Boot. They obviously have a Russian scout that they really believe in. That's two Russians for the Coyotes. Wow. Daniel Boot was ranked 28th on Elite Prospects. Boy, they
Starting point is 01:07:44 must have really invested. You know what? Here's what I think Arizona did. They saw that there was a war and they said a lot of teams are not going to scout Russia. So we're going to put them all tight. They're exploiting a competitive weakness. What's the problem?
Starting point is 01:08:02 I hate nachos. Why do you hate nachos? You guys know this. How many times have I told you this? Wet chips? Yeah, I like wet chips. Here's the thing. I hate when Jesse buys the crunchiest food possible and puts it in front of me. I know. There's other food.
Starting point is 01:08:18 So here's the thing. We asked you if you wanted to play. A lot of NHL teams pulled out of Russia. They stopped scouting it. And what I mean by there was a war is there's a war and so what what arizona did was they took their limited resources this is i'm just as all conjectured they took their limited resources and they said yeah here's where a lot of teams won't be why don't we why don't we put all our eggs in this basket i think that's a i
Starting point is 01:08:43 think it's a completely plausible explanation i think and maybe they they're really into this you know what i think is equally if not more plausible is they really like these two players Why would they have picked you guys from Yaroslavl? Yeah, no, that's true. That's true. Guys, come on. Just admit I'm right. Well, okay.
Starting point is 01:09:01 I'm obviously right. Listen, we talked about it with Dubas, the Sioux Greyhounds, and the Chicago Seal. Yep. Obviously, they like the Yaroslavl program. It's the Yaroslavl junior program as well. Yeah, see, because Daniel Boot was in the local Yaroslavl, which is MHL, did tap 26 points in 26 games.
Starting point is 01:09:21 and again you got to remember in russian hockey to get a point a game is pretty pretty big yeah there is so there is the mhl which he's in that's junior basically like this isn't these aren't exacts but this is pretty much what it is mhl is junior vhl is like the minors like uh actually this is a true story there was uh an officiating crew in the khl that screwed up a game i can't remember how they missed like a too many men on the ice call and they were demoted to the vhl whoa yeah that's yeah wildly uh and uh khl is obviously the khl daniel boots is a 6-5 right shot winger that moves well and puts up points not overly physical despite immense size attractive well-rounded package that needs time to develop which is i believe how my life song yeah that is
Starting point is 01:10:09 uh not a list of words i would use to describe a hockey prospect that's pretty weird whoever robert can we get a poll in the chat will kyle dubas trade the 14th pick down oh yeah you put it uh like five minutes on the clock because that they're coming up in two picks but is he gonna trade it down in the next like minute when was the last time dubas had a pick this high right he had he had rodeo namira 15th lilligren was 17th sandin was like in the 20s somewhere 28th I just want to let you know that Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plays in
Starting point is 01:10:46 the Russian Railways Arena. Capacity, 9,070. So he's, according to producer Drew, used to small arenas. But he played in bigger arenas in Russia than he will in Arizona. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:02 How are those gross... How is that grossness? Are they actually good nachos? Yeah? Are they crunchy? That's good. I will, I will in a bit I love the wings, I had a wing, it was amazing but I'm waiting, we got a broadcast to do here gentlemen, I will wait until after the first round
Starting point is 01:11:20 yeah, exactly not doing that all right yeah okay I would just like to say this so far has been a monumental
Starting point is 01:11:54 disappointment. It always is. After Shane Wright, what happened in the first round last year? Shane Wright was a big story. Very compelling. To Brinkett? To Brinkett, okay. It was compelling, Jesse. We had a lot of fun with three people.
Starting point is 01:12:10 Listen, I am not wearing socks today. I do. Get them up, Adam. Get them up. Can't keep giving those away for free. Buffalo's not moving. Trey?
Starting point is 01:12:30 100 more subscribers on Twitch before we show any more, like, full feet. That's a lot. Full feet? For the feet people? Thank you. Thank you very much. You know what I did? I did actually get a pedicure last week. Feet people. I did get
Starting point is 01:12:47 a lot of people are saying grippers for free they want the grippers for free you gotta stop give me a hundred subs justin how many subs do we have right now so how do we know when we've reached 100 okay oh my god i'm gonna be old for a sec gen z you're weird as shit you're so weird to be grippers grippers grippers okay
Starting point is 01:13:13 here's a great idea for a new Gen Z raunchy bar a grip club it's like a strip club but just for like you take off your shoes and socks and that's it you just walk around barefoot I don't like it
Starting point is 01:13:33 I'm going to tell you that right now don't like it, will not invest. Benson and Perot have not been picked yet, guys. This has got to be Buffalo. Buffalo, yeah. 35 bowl seasons. Benson's really good.
Starting point is 01:13:53 If Dubas trades down, I'm going to absolutely faint. There's Zach Benson. Look at that bulk. He's got the WHL hair. Let's go. You know what?
Starting point is 01:14:07 As a Leaf fan, that sucks. That's a player who should have gone in the top 10 going 13th through a divisional rival. That sucks. He's got the old Hockey Night Canada blazer on there, too, with the powders. Powder blue? Actually, it's kind of perfect for Buffalo.
Starting point is 01:14:22 It's a legend. Yeah, this guy rules. It's a legend, honestly. Man, are Buffalo just going to be fun? Yeah. Yeah. They've never been, like, fun. They were always serious.
Starting point is 01:14:33 No. Even in the Hoshik years, were they fun? They were serious. No, okay. You're forgetting, though, the Breer-Drewery years were chaos. Those years were madness. Small, fun team. Small, fun, ridiculous team. And with Biron and Nett
Starting point is 01:14:45 and then Ryan Miller. Right? Yeah. Good team. Really good team. Tage and Benson? Oh, man. We're getting lots of tucks with Tage? Tweedle Dee and... The funny thing with Tweedle Small and Tweedle Huge? Like, Tage Thompson
Starting point is 01:15:00 passing to a 5'9 player is going to be wild. he's listed at 5'10 maybe he's still growing maybe he can get up to like 6 so actually it was funny you can I never thought it was possible and then Jesse told me about the summer that he grew
Starting point is 01:15:16 yeah yeah no like I was like 6'2 by the time I was like 19ish but I kept growing into my until I was like 21 and then I hit 6'4 and a half I think I stopped in grade 10 so that is a weird thing that scouts will ask
Starting point is 01:15:32 players and their parents right when did you stop growing when did you stop growing you know the get a look at mom get a look at dad how big were your grandparents yeah you know stuff like that like i don't like i know this is weird but like leo was obviously a covet baby and one of my covet obsessions was doing like genealogy and everything yeah and so i was trying to figure out like i don't know is this kid gonna be big is he gonna be small you know just using our genealogy forgetting entirely that my wife is half of his genealogy of course so like my family is there's a lot of short guys stocky guys my dad's side has a few like enormous guys has a few like bone racks like you know you just can't
Starting point is 01:16:18 really put on weight or anything so i don't know i think people grossly relate to this shit no yeah yeah no the uh when you listen to like draft podcasts and all that you just hear these guys talking about all these little things and you're like, it's still an unknown. None of you guys watch Moneyball? He's got an ugly girlfriend and he doesn't have any confidence. That was a crazy line. His dick walks in the room
Starting point is 01:16:43 two minutes before he does. Still a thing. Which is a great line. I always wonder too with that sometimes, because the analytics are so much better, but back then you sort of had to rationalize why you liked a guy in better terms than I like him and I gotta get feeling.
Starting point is 01:16:59 so do you think sometimes they just made stuff up you know oh definitely it's like i'm just gonna make this up because it sounds convincing well i always go back to the alex petrangelo thing oh he's so he's so mature well why is he mature oh he lives alone and cooks for himself right like is that the bar right for hockey players it is like yes also like okay it's i think i think yeah sure that should give points to petrangelo but i don't think you should take it away from a teenager who doesn't live alone and cook for themselves a rather low percentage
Starting point is 01:17:34 of teenagers do that I remember I moved out at 20 were you a great cook? wasn't a great cook but I learned other than you know when I ran out of money and had to make ketchup sandwiches I
Starting point is 01:17:49 I learned where to get the good chicken and I would get it free flash frozen from the farm just outside of Clayton it's called Clayton Park in Nova Scotia Clayton Keller everybody knows about it and then I would buy big bags
Starting point is 01:18:05 of frozen veggies and that's what I ate so I became a connoisseur of frozen vegetables and I would go to the frozen vegetable aisle and be like what brand will I try this week who's to know Pittsburgh is on the clock they have a minute left to trade down will they do it god I hope they do
Starting point is 01:18:21 we have had zero trades through the first half of the first round hey do we have an update on that poll yeah what does the poll say um let's see how do I do I see what
Starting point is 01:18:36 by the way I want to say just from what I've seen ESPN's done a really great job with this broadcast yeah I don't hate it I know that a lot of people are watching the Canadian feed at home I think Sportsnet's down there as well but I do want to say ESPN's doing a great job we don't know what
Starting point is 01:18:53 people in the chat are booing Dubas why so sammy zane the wrestler is he not supposed to work sammy zane the wrestler when montreal made their pick he went man what the fuck that's hilarious so the pittsburgh's getting on stage they didn't trade down if you're if you're wondering about the poll uh 70 said no 30 said yes so the majority of people were correct they are gonna select the pick and they are doing it right now Dubas is in a blue suit on the stage
Starting point is 01:19:22 sorry Conor Bedard we need to interrupt you for Pittsburgh's 15 now is Dubas wearing the suit because he still loves us or is it like revenge like what's with the blue suit should we read into it 14th here we go
Starting point is 01:19:46 14th Brayden Yeager. By the way, did you hear how he said Yeager? Brayden Yeager. He's like the in-arena host here. I like that. Yeah, he's pumped. Moose Jaw.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Is the blue suit a shot, I believe. I tweeted because he still loves us. Brayden Yeager, Moose Jaw Warriors. Again, WHL, a lot of WHL. 67 games, 28 goals, 50 assists. He is a center. Listen, listen. It's Kyle Dubas.
Starting point is 01:20:17 No one cares about any of that. How big is he? 5'11". CHL Rookie of the Year last year. Sorry, not this past year, but the year before. Unclear whether he stays in the middle when he makes the jump, kind of like Willie Nylander, right? You know, he may just be a winger.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Like, unless you're an absolute stud, it's so rare that you're a slam dunk to play center. Yeah, I think from like everywhere 10 down you're like, this center who played in the WHL could also be a winger. Almost all the best forwards in the world are
Starting point is 01:20:47 centers yes uh you know at some point during their entire tenure as children they played center first line for their team you know and then eventually they moved for the wing because competition got too good exactly brayden jaeger oh he played 67 games something like that so did they wow did they boo dubas yeah in nashville in nashville oh i know our chat oh in the chat i was like what do you ever do where did you get see boo and dubas uh all right maybe i'm wrong can the chat tell us that they boo him on the broadcast no no oh they did boo him they booed the Penguins
Starting point is 01:21:35 because the Nashville we were there of course we saw it we were there Pittsburgh Penguins lost we saw a Nashville win in the finals oh there's Bedardy
Starting point is 01:21:50 so I guess Preds fans still hate Pittsburgh I don't blame them so Bedard is still 17 we are twice as old as Connor Bedard oh why did you do that I know
Starting point is 01:22:06 even if he's mostly 18 we're 35 doesn't that suck oh my god that sucks we're twice as old as this year's draft class I still remember Uri Talusti the Leafs picked him and I was like well I don't know what it was they didn't like about me my lack of hands, skating
Starting point is 01:22:29 hockey experience in general the home team will select next hey trade the pick trade the pick obviously they didn't get into the top five like they wanted to i respect the heck out of the fact that barry trotz is back and he's known as like super conservative and likes a specific type of game and it's defensive leaning and all these things and he's come out and just blown the doors off of the nashville predators uh all the trades coming back from the trade deadline and beyond and anybody that tells me he's not the actual gm right now uh president gm uh you're full of beans uh this guy is he this guy is definitely riding the ship uh i'm curious about what they go for here because you know it is a crapshoot at uh even at 15 there's a lot of talent
Starting point is 01:23:15 which talent do you pick so i think you mentioned this but this is it a little more specifically from aaron port's line uh adam fantilli had a suit custom made for the nhl draft with all the names of the family coaches teachers advisors and others who have impacted his life and helped uh pave his path to the nhl over 140 names listed on the back of his vest and lining his jacket that is very cool that rules extremely hard chance of fraud from lead fans at bridgestone arena according to nick alberga i think nick is trolling yeah i think nick is 100 trolling Yeah? Yes. Because he's a scamp. He's a rascal.
Starting point is 01:24:01 That's very funny. He's a rascal. Is he here? He's here. I saw him. Okay, okay. Yeah, I saw him when we were doing Street. Oh, yeah. Alright, Adam. Get out the grippers.
Starting point is 01:24:24 Are we at 100 subs more? Actually? I don't know. Justin? Subs? Check? Here, mute my mic. Oh, okay. Steve, I want Steve. That much wants Steve. Steve, can we...
Starting point is 01:24:37 What's that? What's that, Steve? Yep. Okay. Log into our Twitch. Oh, no. We're not downing it from 100. We've got to log into the Twitch to find out. We can't? I have it right here.
Starting point is 01:24:58 You got it? We got 22 so far. That's a lot more. Alright. Alright. Alright. Just got a sub. I love this.
Starting point is 01:25:18 Alright, let's go. Let's go. Oh no, we've had 94 so far. Whoa. 95 now oh shit oh i'm not supposed to swear i'm sorry are you not oh on twitch i don't like swearing you don't like swearing i like keeping it classy here we go good for david matthew wood
Starting point is 01:25:48 matthew wood out of uh university of connecticut ncaa 34 points at 35 games as a left wing slash centerman uh six three 200 pounds uh there's they're saying at at this point his skating would would maybe lol hold him back but he'll have time to work on that and i guess he's committed for at least next year uh if not beyond um i mean listen the pretz have to be happy with a pick like that uh but i think that likely they really desperately wanted to move up and just weren't willing to pay the exorbitant prices to do so i still want someone gave out 10 subs they did that's not bad we have we've hit the screen so okay when uh when justin did the count for are you yep yeah when justin did the count for uh subs and you said uh we need a couple more we were at 95 or 93
Starting point is 01:26:46 and since then we've gone up to 117. So, Adam? I wonder who bought five subs. Did you buy five subs? You're a dick. So have we done it? Yeah, we've had 117 subs.
Starting point is 01:27:04 Who bought 10 subs? Justin bought five to put you over the top. Justin. DruidCat gave out 10 community subs. Okay, how do we want to Get that water out of the way and spread those grippers at him. Drew, can you get the light?
Starting point is 01:27:21 Uh-oh, there's water on the table. Hope you don't get your grippers in them. Alright, are we good? I don't know. Okay, so I'm going to put them up on the table and I'm going to show them off. Are you ready? We're at 123 now. It keeps going up.
Starting point is 01:27:37 Okay, ask the chat. Get it to 150. Get it to 150? 25 more? No. Okay, I'll do I'll do 100 per foot. So I will show off my left foot. No. Okay. No.
Starting point is 01:27:53 So that's a punishment for me. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. Don't eat the wing. You don't like feet. I don't want your sock crusties between your feet. We're not asking you to eat the wing.
Starting point is 01:28:09 Just lick the end of it. I don't want to do it. If we get to 200, I'll show both off. But here we are. You guys have earned it. Here you go. The right foot. Here we go. Can you see it? Can you see it? Do you love it? And I'm going to move my...
Starting point is 01:28:23 I'm so uncomfortable. Get those away from the wigs. Get them away from the notches. He's walking around all... They're dirty, too. That was walking around Nashville all day. Oh, no. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:28:42 What's the immediate reaction, Justin? Immediate reaction on the feed. Also, we have a mic for him. We could just drop him a mic, right? Yeah, I can plug it in. Justin, we got a mic for Justin here. Hold on. It's not plugged in.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Not plugged in. But I'm not going to throw it to you, but I'm just going to pass it over here. Actually, we don't have a mic because the third one's connected to the laptop. Oh, that's a bummer. Okay. Well, Justin, yell it out. What do you got? Okay.
Starting point is 01:29:04 he's immediate immediate foot reaction can we get this uh warrior womp is throwing singles at the grip club warrior womp is throwing singles at the grip club so are my people the feet people like jesse's got the crab people or or is it grip club is it grip club that's i'd say i kind of like the grippers all the grippers go down to the grippers the grippers yeah the grippers yeah that's pretty good i like that a lot i like that a lot okay you have glizzy grippers for real for real no you don't what's glizzy uh i think they're talking about you giving foot jobs adam can we say that
Starting point is 01:29:59 no why not it's definitely not a family show anymore it's never been a family show it's uh no i don't think so sorry robert you're here forever that's amazing uh they said fj on sportsnet or espn no no oh look it's barry trotz everybody you know i don't feel like the espn teams and sportsnet teams are doing what we're doing no i don't think they're showing their feet are they really committed to this draft is having a chicken wing going so you know this is a little off the board yeah you know for uh In the next two minutes, Bradtree Living will be allowed on the draft floor.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Oh. So do we have to start freaking out after Detroit makes their second pick? Hopefully. Or no, it wouldn't be Detroit. It'd be Calgary. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Right now, after the Calgary pick is done, the time is up. Bradtree Living can walk out.
Starting point is 01:31:08 So I have a question. Bradtree Living not allowed why is Dubas allowed because the Leafs allowed him to they fired him Bradtree Living decided to leave they did not fire him
Starting point is 01:31:21 they didn't mutually part ways it's also Calgary didn't have to be a dick like yeah but they were salty yeah that's what I'm saying I'll just out and say it They're difficult to cheer for right now.
Starting point is 01:31:40 Yeah. Craig Conroy's not, though. There's a fly buzzing around that guy's head right now. I'm glad. Who is that? I don't know. I can't even hear what he's saying. Is that Murray?
Starting point is 01:31:57 Everyone is glistening. This is hot. Glistening? Well, I'm glistening. I'm so sweaty. Craig Conroy. Okay, I said they're a difficult team to cheer for. I do like me some of Craig Conroy.
Starting point is 01:32:12 I love Craig Conroy. Great player. Conroy and a Gimlet, too. What was he saying? Something about? Another WHL. Samuel Honzik, a well-rounded winger, size 6'3", 186 pounds. He's 6'3", and only 186 pounds.
Starting point is 01:32:34 Oh, my God. He's complimentary top six guy. at the next level. Is he complementary top six or is he more of a two-way lower force in the lineup? They don't know. 23 goals, 33 assists, 56 points in 43 games for the Vancouver Giants.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Calgary has some pretty good experience with six-foot-three wingers out of British Columbia-based WHL team. It's really specific. Do they?
Starting point is 01:33:05 Yeah, Jerome McGill. oh stop it you know what he was talking about yeah you did yeah I had no idea what he was talking about that was really good it was a great analysis stop it they didn't draft him
Starting point is 01:33:20 Dallas drafted him they didn't even draft him Dallas drafted a Gimlet yeah but then Calgary got him and they liked him the Newendike trade brought the Gimlet to Calgary I know that no it was very good
Starting point is 01:33:35 You guys don't understand. It was very good. Okay, well. I don't know what to say about that. And he's from Trenton, Slovakia, just like Hitler. Oh, my goodness. Brad's living has been released from his cage. By the way, we are now 16 picks in.
Starting point is 01:33:52 It has been close to two hours. Remember when you were trying to tell me all this moving fast? Come on, NHL. You know what? I tweeted out. I'm like, do we have to thank everybody before every pick? and listen, I appreciate the class. I really do.
Starting point is 01:34:08 But we can thank people once and everybody can meet it all at once. I muted him. I'm glad you did. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Yeah. Well, I am going to.
Starting point is 01:34:25 I'm looking around here. Alright, I'm back. Thanks, bro. Okay. Is that the part we went to? I don't know. They all look the same. Bright lights.
Starting point is 01:34:42 I kind of want to see Asteroid City. This is the first time I've ever heard of this movie. Wes Anderson. Oh, David Alter has a picture of Brad Treliving returning to the draft floor. Video, sorry. And he brought his backpack. Wow.
Starting point is 01:35:00 He brought his backpack. Dora the Explorer? Yeah. Oops, sorry. Sorry, Troy. One of those kids' backpacks. Arthur? What's he got?
Starting point is 01:35:09 What's his backpack? Give him the backpack. It's like a leather one. It's actually quite nice. It's got like a, yeah, it's got, but it's got like, it's one of those bigger backpacks. It's got like a pouch on the top and then a pouch on the bottom. You know what I mean? Michael Kors?
Starting point is 01:35:19 Not, maybe. Not Michael. Do you think it's Michael Kors? Not a Michael. Okay, so some inside. Steve didn't have a backpack. I didn't know you didn't own one. No, I have like four.
Starting point is 01:35:30 I can't find any of them. You moved recently. I moved. You moved in September. that happens my wife has a bad habit of moving and losing everything and blaming it on me oh that's so she's not watching the stream is she gotta hold it uh but uh but anyway justin she's for sure watching justin had multiple backpacks but he bought brought the most designer uh michael core's backpack he could so steve has been walking around with a mauve uh michael core's backpack and
Starting point is 01:35:57 it looks just delightful on you it's very delicate kind of like our steve can can you read my tweet right right to the bone i love that that's good that's good you know it's it's this is kind of fun to be kind of laid back and relaxed with you know justin and producer true are off camera here but um i know that when we do our pre-agency show in a couple of days on saturday it's going to be a little bit more intense trade deadline was crazy i remember justin showed up exhausted i'm like oh it's going to be a rough day for him why were you so tired at trade deadline do you remember how exhausted you were. You didn't sleep the night before, right?
Starting point is 01:36:35 Is that what it was? I'm really excited to see us. You stayed up all night going, Jesus Christ, I quit my job for this. Fun in-arena draft thing. When Will Smith was drafted, they played the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song.
Starting point is 01:36:49 Did they actually? I love that. Drew hates it. Having fun is stupid. No, but it's a fun thing to do. No, let's definitely pass that opportunity by Drew. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:37:04 That village sucks. Shut up. You think that a 17 year old hasn't at least seen one episode of Freshman? Your name is Will Smith. Of course. If Drew ran the draft and with our first round pick, Will
Starting point is 01:37:20 Smith, this is how you remind me of what I really feel. If Drew ran the draft, it would be an email. Get your letter in the mail It'd be a snake draft Just a bunch of loud fart noises Every time Steve Eisenman goes up to talk
Starting point is 01:37:41 Just drew on the mic Boo Boo, get off the stage Hurry it up Hurry it up Shut up, Steven is will smith of the nhl draft the most liked will smith so he has not slapped anyone for talking about his wife
Starting point is 01:38:07 okay i know he's young but is he married this is important will smith his name is will smith no he's not married he's not met his jada yet damn yeah i don't yeah jesse jesse's mic's muted but he said hopefully he never meets his jada stop it oh that's funny yep she's silly yep i hope the leaves trade up to 17. get brad to work right now brad brad um favorite thing about nashville so far the hat i bought your hat's cool yeah yeah yeah i like the hat it works for you it
Starting point is 01:38:56 really does actually work yeah what kind of fun i know oh shout out steve the sorry i was like i'm steve shout out steve from the bar bike that we were on uh you absolute psychopath nashville bar bike.com yeah like the most energy i've ever seen in a human and we had a lot of fun and if you've never done the bar bike or pedal tavern whatever you call it and you were wondering is it hard work yes yes it is unless you're at the back and don't feel like it we were at the front and felt like it we were like standing up like freaking like we were legit going uphill on a bike because uh we were yeah no our driver steve he described it as a golf cart motor like there's an actual motor in there which will drive you along but you actually need to pedal to get it
Starting point is 01:39:47 up hills and everything i i had some fun laughs with um some of the locals uh at our event today i was like so are you from nashville yeah from nashville and there were a few from savannah georgia who also have uh pedal taverns and i was like so you hate them right like you hate them with a fiery passion they're like yeah no the worst thing in the entire world we fucking hate them oh sorry we hate them a lot and uh i yeah i never had this problem on sports net sorry boys um you know we hate them with a fiery passion i was like listen you're not gonna like hearing this but as a tourist they absolutely slap the time of your life dude it's the best it's the best so if you're a local maybe don't invent something that is as can as inconvenient and as
Starting point is 01:40:34 undeniably fun as the Pedal Tavern. Yeah. I think sometimes you have to accept that there are things in your city that other people find fun that you don't. And that might be a slight pain in the ass. Here's the thing in Toronto, we got rid of all the fun shit
Starting point is 01:40:49 except for, you know, like literally we got rid of all the bars, we got rid of anything fun. You can see, you can go to those board teams. What are you talking about? All the bars? Yeah, the Queen West bars. They're still there. Oh, you know what? He's actually right. We did.
Starting point is 01:41:04 Did they get rid of all of them or Crock Rock? No, no. There was a ton before even like we. Oh, Drew's not in his head too. Did they get rid of the bars or are you in your mid thirties? No, no, no. They got rid of like, no, no, they really actually did. So there's a law in Toronto in, especially in King or Queen West,
Starting point is 01:41:22 where all the bars used to be, where you're not allowed to open a new bar there. That's why there haven't been any. You're not allowed to open a new bar all over the condo. Yeah, I'm serious. You can have a bar at the bottom of a condo. They actually have a public ordinance against it because now it's considered residential.
Starting point is 01:41:36 So you can't have... Oh, because housing's bad. I don't like that. Adam doesn't want you to have housing. You should expect Torontonians. This man doesn't want you to have a home. Makes me upset. He wants more bars because housing's bad.
Starting point is 01:41:51 Raise my taxes. I'm a billionaire. I'm wild. So Drew had a question in our chat here. can adam or jesse give steve a chop on his no no oh true doesn't like oh shit trade what what no no that's that's the previous trade this is the detroit uh jesse strike two oh yeah what's the second one where you've been like what oh yeah the other one yeah strike two so this pick originally is a detroit sorry an islanders
Starting point is 01:42:26 pick that went through vancouver in the anthony bovillier trade and then the philip ronick trade with detroit so detroit has it through vancouver from the new york islanders so there's been nothing nothing damn it guys this is the nhl draft they don't do anything do they thank them again oh man that's a good question what's gary doing up there anyway he's got a podium and everything like he's delaying the process just have a seat but all right you're careful you don't want to get us kicked off did he forget to thank them the first time yeah ah sure maybe he knew that they were going to take the next one so he could thank them then
Starting point is 01:43:22 you know from scalaftia axel standing yeah all right now let's let's talk about him um great prospects had him at uh at 10 uh how do you how do you spell it what do you say scalaftia axel scalaftia scalaftia shl five points 22 games he's a defenseman one of the top defenders in the draft according to elite prospects undersized by nhl standards 511 176 pounds but great skill and puck moving ability from the back end and we have seen undersized defense work great in the nhl but you have to have it sometimes in tandem and again is 511 undersized to me undersized five five six five seven five eight maybe well okay so we look at vegas who are huge obviously huge and they win the cup and we go that's the way you win a cup
Starting point is 01:44:15 That's the way it has to be done. Who won the cup last year? Colorado. Who did they have on the back end who was a big old bruiser? Josh Manson, who like a lot of people were like, oh, should have never made that trade. Too big. Not too big.
Starting point is 01:44:32 Sorry. Too expensive or whatever. No, they just murdered you with their skill on the back end with Devon Taves, who's not huge. I bet they regret the cup. Yeah, I think they really regret the cup. Cal McCarr, Sam Gerrard is maybe not a great example on account of he got a sternum broken.
Starting point is 01:44:50 You know, Bowen Byram was good on their run, but, you know, limited minutes and sheltered and everything because he's a rookie. So he's big and everything. So, like, there shouldn't be... Hey, Chris Draper, shout out. There shouldn't be an avoidance of, you know, oh this guy's yes he's extremely talented and really good amongst his peers but he's not big
Starting point is 01:45:15 enough that doesn't make any sense to me like is is are any of the best defenders in the league lauded for their size no right like not since the dano char really like quinn hughes adam fox kyle mccarr eric carlson just put up 100 points what's he like six six one yep i'm looking at he's not a thick guy right they're big ish like they're not small adam fox is 5 11 5 11 there you go so he's the same so if he's an extremely skilled player if he's the best one available take him you shouldn't even think about it small by nhl standards i would like to know what the nhl standard is if 5 11 is small by nhl he's bigger than at least 10 of the nhl now yeah he's a child right how many guys signed a over five million dollars in this league are there that
Starting point is 01:46:09 are smaller than him right now pretty badass club jersey right there oh yeah those are nice there's some really good jerseys in sweden i saw a guy with a fariestad golf shirt the chat's asking if they could see the slap because we brought it up it's oh can we get to 300 subs can you see that that red mark you can see it there i don't think you can see that no no no it's funny people kept asking today to see it and then i did that and it's just me showing them my nipple which is not how i saw nashville going yeah the handprint's not really there but it's red no it's what's so alarming about that clip is worse than the sound is you watch the handprint develop in real time yeah like it's crazy it grows by the end of the video it's crazy yeah
Starting point is 01:47:00 white dull pink bright pink bright red borderline purple you can see hey uh bluto wanted to give you a compliment kudos to dangle always top notch even hung even when hung over and with four fingers indented onto his chest anymore you're a little hung over this morning no i wasn't hung over i just didn't sleep you didn't sleep well we got home late and we got up early i guess we weren't julian mckenzie yeah i wasn't the one asking me for advil it was you i did ask you for advil you know he was absolutely hungover a late a late onset hangover because i didn't ask you for advil to like new you did have a late onset hangover yeah a little bit of that hair oh you
Starting point is 01:47:47 sound rough and i was like if you say i look rough no you never look rough adam with those feet you buy it with anything. The other foot's available for another hundred subs. So we're at 127 subs. Okay, well, we need a 200. I'll give you the left foot, baby. You're asking the people to sub again. I'm asking the grippers to come out.
Starting point is 01:48:06 Can one of you jerks make a trade? No. Steve, it's the NHL. It's boring. Yo. Our flight leaves at like... He's got coffee in his hand. He's falling asleep.
Starting point is 01:48:20 our flight leaves at like noon yeah how many trades are going to happen while we're in the air zero i'm going to go with six 93 round two to seven yeah but not like pick trades does it yeah yeah would it make it into a trade tree yeah what yeah yeah it's a trade There's a trade Okay Kevin, shovel day off
Starting point is 01:48:51 With the 18th overall pick The Winnipeg Jets announce we have bought out Blake Wheeler Do it Do the funniest thing possible I need it in my life Shout out to the chat By the way, you're lovely
Starting point is 01:49:09 I didn't really have a chance to I didn't exactly start on the right foot what do you mean well i ran in late oh whatever on account of we didn't realize what time we forgot what time zone we were in we started a little late but we all knew bedard was going first who cares is anybody upset now i don't think anybody's upset i hope not i think we're good they got feet they get feet kevin shoveled af is that jerry brockheimer behind poil might be he's the owner of this it is well because he's
Starting point is 01:49:47 one of the owners of the kraken adam that's crazy was that adam was saying that yeah i did just say oh sorry i was looking at drew that's all right colby barlow goes to the winnipeg jets uh colby barlow ranked ranked 12th on elite prospects um will barlow be the first ohl player off the board but I don't think he ended up being outside of the top 10, question mark. He, that hadn't had, I don't know. Solid winger, can play both sides of the puck is what they say. I wish they'd given us a little bit more, but 79 points in 59 games in the 0, 46 of those were goals.
Starting point is 01:50:23 I need this kid to turn around to the camera. Because again, remember, he's 18. You know how often we're like, oh man, so heavy. Matty Beneers. Yeah, he's so heavy for an 18-year-old. He's so tall. This kid's beard. This kid's hair per square inch as a teenage.
Starting point is 01:50:40 That's ridiculous. This dude is going to grow a King Leonidas beard. Let's get this guy a Manscaped sponsorship now. Now, look at that beard. That's so silly. In the OHL and all, that's a strong move. Holy. You talk about the WHL producing gems, right?
Starting point is 01:51:02 The O, what would you kind of describe the league as? faster flashier uh i think generally and generally that's just generally and i'm asking to speak in generalities but like in terms of development curve is it a little bit longer to hit the nhl this dude this dude's gonna take me to yes like take your kid to work day he's gonna bring me that's absolutely unbelievable sorry what'd you say he was the first ohl pick so like a few years ago can you imagine wouldn't be till pick 18 wow the last time an ohl pick wasn't made in the top 10 was thomas harley of the dollar stores what year work work oh oh man 2022 oh 2019 so that's a lot of people are complaining that a
Starting point is 01:52:02 31 year old just got drafted yeah that's yo the chat's being very funny the hair per square inch on his face yeah that's a grown man did you guys see maddie veneers at the nhl awards or his interviews afterwards no yeah he shaved and he still looked like my dad oh yeah like the guy is he's a that's a that's a dad like whose dad just wanted to call it it's crazy this dude has a playoff beard by noon yeah right right uh the chicago blackhawks will be up next with their pick in the taylor radish boris kachuk deal from last march 2022 um the blackhawks got uh radish and kachuk and a first round pick uh this year and a first round pick next year both of those are top 10 protected protected um and uh brandon hagel and went the other way along with a fourth
Starting point is 01:52:57 uh last year and a fourth next year so uh not bad two first for hey the lightning hate draft picks. Will a trade happen before the first round is over? Hmm. Hmm. We got after after Chicago, we got 12 picks left. Chat, let's start a poll.
Starting point is 01:53:20 I think it's going to, I'm going to say yes and I think it's going to be disappointing. It's going to be somebody moving down and I bet it's the Leafs. I bet it's the Leafs moving down five spots or something. No, it's not Dubas anymore. Yeah, but they've been talking about this all
Starting point is 01:53:36 All day. Did you spill water? No, it's just my phone. I think it'll be Rage or Breving. Rage. Will we be tree living, tree laughing, and tree loving? That's what we need to know. We must know. I'm tree loving it.
Starting point is 01:53:54 Do you have anything? No. We are in a commercial break right now. I'm going to bring you guys back to June 24th, 2016. NHL Network Insider Kevin Weeks I'm told the Edmonton Oilers are making a strong push for
Starting point is 01:54:11 P.K. Subban and you remember famously at the draft mark Bergevin said we're not actively trying to trade him he did end up getting traded the trade would have been a swap of first round picks and Leon Dreisaitl yikes
Starting point is 01:54:28 and what Kevin Weeks tweeted is return sounds low who said no Who said no? The Montreal Canadiens. Are we sure? Yeah, pretty sure, because they didn't think it was enough. Thank God. Pretty sure.
Starting point is 01:54:42 Yeah. Okay, it's funnier if it's true. Right, yeah. Let it be true. Just let it be true. It's fine. It's fine. Listen, they still made the finals.
Starting point is 01:54:53 Jim Nill won GM of the Year. He did? Yeah, because they leave the GM of the Year. award until the draft, because they have the awards on Monday, but then they leave it until the draft to announce, I think, the GM of the year award. Why? Because...
Starting point is 01:55:11 Is anybody sticking around? All the GMs are there, you know? Just doing the awards. How was this pick, 19? Jim Nill, correct pick. Did you guys have any hot takes on the GM of the year award? I mean, okay. I'm trying to think of what he did.
Starting point is 01:55:29 He got Mason Marchman. uh robertson had a good year robertson was already there yeah but like he the guys he got signed one of his own players good for you is that i don't like what do you have to do to qualify for the award your team just has oh you got evgeny dad no yeah not like now oh yeah max delby was the thing he did yeah like i think he did a good job executive of the year if anything you should go to like kyle davidson well you tank you get badar that's more impressive than anything you've nailed you know you imagine okay easily the funniest outcome would be dubious what winning gym of
Starting point is 01:56:14 the year yeah this year yeah easily sam mitchell is kyle davison the shortest person on stage by half a foot probably yeah that's what we're talking about yeah all right here's some guy according to uh that nashville podcast oh yeah that's hilarious and oliver moore the usa they have u.s national they are they are stacked absolutely stacked justin can you reset the uh right here i just want to um uh i just i can only see like five picks on the draft grid for some reason i don't know why no it's all good man it's all good uh i want to talk about oliver moore But I can't, because he's not an OHL player. Oliver Moore.
Starting point is 01:57:01 I actually can't even find him. Oh, there he is. In the meantime, while you do that, yesterday on the Pedal Tavern, I was the only person who recognized that we walked right by, or rode right by Roberto Luongo. Yes. And I go, Bobby Loo!
Starting point is 01:57:18 And he actually heard and turned around. And I also noticed Brian McCabe, and one of you guys said you saw Bill Zito. Yeah, yeah, that was me. so it's just like the whole florida panthers brain trust those are all the executives that we did a long ago he didn't respond oh where did you say it was just oh he's number nine oh he's bringing a u.s national team oh wow okay so uh elite prospect said maybe the best skater available at the draft foot speed is insane effort is undeniable and offensive skills are
Starting point is 01:57:49 solid plus played pk for the u.s national teams under 18s committed to the university of minnesota for at least one oh no tuck in your shirt kid yeah it's so wrinkled that's okay he's about to put on jersey doesn't matter oh gosh good for him tuck it in so you know this he's being touted as like potentially the best skater in the draft chicago gets him at 19 after bedard so the chat saying Jim Nell dumped the Hudobin and Bishop contracts as well.
Starting point is 01:58:28 Oh, there you go. Of the year. I'm just, they're trying to find a reason. Oh, he dumped contracts he signed? He signed both Heiskanen and Hintz for less than $8.5 million. I guess that's part of it.
Starting point is 01:58:44 These are the list of accomplishments as general manager this year. I mean, that's the best. He's the best. It's an odd choice. I didn't even know he was nominated, to be honest. Oliver Moore looks... His family looks jacked.
Starting point is 01:59:00 They're really happy. Good for him. Those are nasty hands. Dude, it straight up hurts to talk. Does it? Is it because of the slap? No, no, no. Your voice?
Starting point is 01:59:14 Straining. Talking in loud places. it's my kryptonite well guess what you don't have to do much talking tomorrow on the plane ride home it's only two more hours until the draft wraps up well if we sit next to mike zeisberger i know i won't get a word in there you go i wonder if zeis is watching he's probably actually down i think he's a credentialed respected member of the media and we're a company the nhl has decided they don't like a lot of people are asking for uh musty or bonk to go to the leafs at 28 uh musty uh is very highly touted okay bonk is easily a much funnier pick on account of he's radic bonk's son oh that's
Starting point is 01:59:58 i didn't know that yeah i like that i guess bonk isn't that common of a last name i've never heard of it except for radic bonk can we do you have the other guys you think the leafs should take Can we get into that? Do we have a good bar, a group of guys who might have fallen now who aren't taking that you think the Leafs could get? Musty, for sure. He's a guy I know a lot of the
Starting point is 02:00:20 stats people I follow like. The stats people I follow and trust. But like... Gabriel Perreault has not been taken. Gabriel Perreault is a good one. Andrew Crystal has not been taken, I don't believe.
Starting point is 02:00:36 Andrew Crystal, we... Oh, radio star turned junior star? The number one prospect left, according to Megan Chayka's rankings. There you go. I will admit, Brad Treliving coming on sort of screwed up my perception of this draft. Like, just from a Leafs perspective, which is how I view most things. Because they just have so much to do. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:04 And they haven't done anything. Dude, they re-signed their fourth center and their second fourth center. They re-signed David Kampf and Pontus Holmberg. That's it. Big moves. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, we want to change up the defense. All right, you can get on that any time now.
Starting point is 02:01:23 You know. What are they going to do with the core four? Oh, all right, you can do that any time. Figure it out. She's got the name of the jersey. Oh, no, it says Kraken. Okay. I thought it was the name
Starting point is 02:01:35 that would have been hilarious did teams get scared they're like no too many of these name plates are falling off there's Ronnie friends because like with Dubas there for so long you had such a great idea of how his mind worked
Starting point is 02:01:55 you knew like he's gonna do this these are the guys he likes he's gonna go to the Chicago Steel and you had a good area but now brad's such a wild card now the leafs first pick last year was a whl guy it was fraserman and he's done very well so maybe it shouldn't be a shock dubas went back to the dub i hope perot keeps falling as a belief he's got to fall so far yeah we got to get to eight more and it's really it's it's it's the size thing i think there is a push back to getting bigger i
Starting point is 02:02:29 I think T.H. Thompson has opened a lot of people's eyes. Vegas? Well, Vegas. Everyone's big on Vegas, except for their main guy. But you can be tall and shifty. You can be tall and you can move quick. And I do think that there is still... Edward Sully.
Starting point is 02:02:46 Take the smaller guys. Nothing wrong with that. Alan Walsh? Check. That's right. Oh, I don't know. No, you don't. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 02:02:54 I thought you knew. All right, trick three. I'm just guessing. Check it. represented by you're not allowed to have an agent until you're in the NHL so it might not be publicly available
Starting point is 02:03:08 yeah you can have an advisor you can be a counsel to the kids but you're not allowed to sign with an agency until you are a professional NHL so last year with Eurocheck Alan was an advisor yes that's right yes who became his agent yes because as an NHL agent
Starting point is 02:03:25 Alan can't go represent these kids you know he can just be like hey on helping you out and then well i guess there's no contract to be negotiated exactly once they're nhl players and they sign a contract alan's their agent who does that contract and then he's their agent interesting okay so you probably can't look up if he's a sales uh client okay just check alan's timeline he's probably under all the martin firk tweets Check Alan's timeline
Starting point is 02:04:00 He's under all the Martin Furk tweets I think the Martin Furk tweets Are my favorite Just a video of a Boko Imama goal With the caption BOKO They stopped doing the nameplates That's what I said I thought
Starting point is 02:04:18 She might swap it out for one But no they just went full Kraken That's Jerry Bruckheimer third from the right Unreal his uh fun fact he's good at tennis oh it's not on the screen now you think i'm good at sports whatever we know i'm kidding man the czech program has put out some gems eh oh yeah and slovak yeah this is we talked about this years ago on the podcast and people did not all like it but like when canada was losing pretty consistently and pretty badly
Starting point is 02:04:55 at the world juniors for a few years there um i talked about like listen this is painful for us but this is good for the game that like countries like finland with that ridiculous team with line and pull your rv and aho i'm pretty sure was on it as well um austria got better with nikolai ehlers uh the czech team is getting better the slovak team is getting better and after a bit of a dry spell too because they had a pretty good team for a number of years marion hosa uh zdeno chara never really had a goalie alexander salik i think um but now they're i mean they're pretty stacked uh it's it's i'm trying to think of who the best goalie is here's what i want to i want to prepare people for i want to prepare people for a world where canada has an existential crisis
Starting point is 02:05:47 again because you remember the 20 2004 the summit they had to have after was it the two that where was the olympics where they didn't pick prosby they picked all the old guys and they 2000 2006 torino torino is a disaster yeah and then the 2007 year they had a summit with hockey canada and everything to discuss how we get better as a country right like i hope you're what should we do happen again uh if you're ready because hockey canada is a mess the other programs the german program the czech german also the usa program is stupid on a heater a canadian program is not even it's so disjointed and terrible like you know there's there's organizations within canada pulling out of hockey canada it's a mess it's a mess that doesn't mean that there won't
Starting point is 02:06:30 be a glut of great players but are we developing them to the best of our ability and actually a lot of a lot of coaches from other countries are coming over and going this is how you still do things like there's a there's a deep need for modernization too that isn't being talked about i thought that was good that espn just advertised games that are four months from now yeah they're saying game one is uh everyone will remember blackhawks penguins let's go you know like yeehaw zach benson is dripped out for the nhl draft in national my favorite player in the world yeah he certainly is dripped out great and shell jack benson great and shell darren drager says that um uh the flyers did maybe potentially look at flipping the
Starting point is 02:07:16 20 second pick but they will not oh wow so we will huge guy we will get to 23 without a trade oh god justin's looking at me like this is great this is so fun i i okay do we get to fight cj if there's no trade yes yeah yeah so we just he promised a lot of fireworks we just treat him like the printer from office space when we see him um bill garren i really like what they're doing in Minnesota with the with the cap and you do yeah oh listen i'm still the only if the only criticism you have against bill garrett garrett is that he had to buy out those two guys who needed to be bought out look at the team that he's able to put together with you know 15 million dollars each year they're going to lose number this year but they got guys to come and replace
Starting point is 02:08:06 him i i'm really impressed well and the rumor is dallas is considering buying out ryan suter who uh the gm of the year brought on by the way was he bad yeah he's just he's not very good It's an odd choice. Can you do some more research on that? I would really like a rant on Jim Mill as the general manager of the year. Kind of like the Chuck Fletcher Minnesota Wild
Starting point is 02:08:31 one where everyone was like, hey, he's got a point. Most all rightest job. You're really not into this. I think he did a very good job with Dallas, but the best. And the award
Starting point is 02:08:46 is voted on. It's a very weird award because they vote on it after the second round what about is the most or is that that's correct right i think you're right is it that or the best norm i think it yeah gm it's after this it's such an arbitrary place to put on this award charlie stromell goes to um the minnesota wild by the way i'm just pulling up hey pro leafs you know good answer is that what you were looking at justin this guy is that what you were talking about has got absurd feathers that's his hair he looks like the red monster from bugs bunny he's a ford from the university of wisconsin in 33 games put it in the chat only 12 points uh six foot three 216 pounds
Starting point is 02:09:35 center that moves well plays physical could go in the first according to elite prospects and he did based on the athletic package alone but can he score enough to stick it in a top six role maybe minnesota doesn't care uh but i'm sure they would like him to another guy out of the u.s program there he was taking a ridiculous feed from late huntsman what do you got justin he's in it he's already playing in Wisconsin as a 17 year old 6'3, 222
Starting point is 02:10:11 he's playing, he's 18 now I guess, but he was playing last year look where he's from Wisconsin? No, he plays for Wisconsin he's from St. Paul that's cool that's good for him His family's probably so happy.
Starting point is 02:10:31 People said this is the Matthew Nyes of this draft. Drew says the most severely overrated prospect. F you. I liked Matthew Nyes. I don't know what to buy. You know who should have won GM of the year?
Starting point is 02:10:49 Iserman. My favorite guy. She's true Flyers are on the clock Will they do something interesting No But stay tuned How we doing
Starting point is 02:11:08 How's everyone Everyone watching What's the poll saying so far With the Is there going to be a trade before the end of the first round Where the poll results so justin is theorizing maybe there's a trade because someone was very high on parole and he's dropping nhl role model matthew kachuk first concert what do you think his first
Starting point is 02:11:39 wait his nhl role model is a guy who's drafted in 2016 well that makes sense the guy's 18 years old he would be 11 matthew kachuk yeah i thought he said keep for a sec so some of the other ones were like datsuk and like beret and stuff so okay beret i will say this if you say beret and you're in this draft you're a liar no you're just watching you never saw you don't like old shit you're just watching youtube you watch full games of beret no you've never seen anything before none of his highlights come on steve you sit i've never seen a single clip before 1988 all right uh what was charlie stromell's first concert just name a relevant artist what do you think okay he's young St. Paul
Starting point is 02:12:20 Kesha not Kesha I'm going for the Drew Livingstone special Nickelback it's his favorite band it's his favorite band he does it all the time
Starting point is 02:12:36 his first concert was Lil Baby so like last year yeah that's Da Baby you're right you know what there shouldn't be a dub baby and little baby that's stupid a lot of babies that's enough they should get together and be like all right you're i'm the baby you're like i don't know greg you gotta change your name they should fight it out
Starting point is 02:13:03 for the baby absolutely what's up just i want to see elon musk versus mark zuckerberg i want to see those i want to see those dudes fight for the name can i give you can i give you the poll results yeah give it it was uh 82 said yes 18 said no for willa trade happened so wow you guys are big believers they're rooting for it yeah uh okay uh okay okay so yeah let's go back to musk for zuckerberg oh i was gonna ask you a more fun question than that which is just the first concert mine yeah might be alexis on fire how old were you i was a teenager yeah uh i did go with my parents to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Starting point is 02:13:47 Oh, that counts as a first. I'm not going to... Sharon Lewis and Bram does not count for me. We're going to do that kiddio. Jesse, first concert. I think it counts. I saw O-Town. No!
Starting point is 02:14:01 At Square One. Was your sister a huge fan? We were both big fans. You saw O-Town at a mall? Artists used to go to malls? all the time. In the early 2000s and late 90s, artists, big pop stars used to go to malls.
Starting point is 02:14:19 And O-Town was in like the center of Square One in Mississauga. Shout out Mississauga. And they performed like five songs. And we went. And I cried. The Flyers are making their selection. This pick came from Los Angeles through the Cal Peterson-Ivan Properoff trade. London Knight.
Starting point is 02:14:38 Oliver Bunk. Second OHL pick. Today, Oliver Bonk was ranked 30th in Elite Prospects. Son of Radek Bonk, Sen's legend. Bonk's mullet's going to be thrilled on Twitter because he could fire it back up again. 6'2", 180 pounds, jack of all trades on the back end.
Starting point is 02:14:58 Can move around enough and defend, but not a tremendous amount of puck skills. Is he a safe pick? Like a Freddy Gaudreau, no, Freddy Gaudreau, Freddy Gauthier pick for the Leafs in 2013, I want to say. Okay. So, I think we've learned to translate.
Starting point is 02:15:18 What have we learned? Safe pick just means bad. No. Yeah. Safe pick means we'll play games at an NHL level, but high floor, low ceiling. Yeah. There you go. High floor, low ceiling. Oh, so you mean a third rounder. That's a
Starting point is 02:15:34 third rounder. That's a third round pick. Yeah, oh, we don't expect him to be very much But he'll play, oh, a third rounder It's just a bad pick at 23rd Or whatever Gauthier was If Freddy the Goat was a third round pick We'd be like, that's a great pick
Starting point is 02:15:50 Yeah, Matt Drew said he's like Matt Stajan The last four Top five picks Of the Habs In the top five are Galch, Kakeniemi, Slavkovski, and Reinbacher.
Starting point is 02:16:08 That's actually kind of rough. For top five? Yeah, so the last four times that the Habs have picked in the top five, it has been Galch, Kakeniemi, Slavkovski, and Reinbacher. I'm not surprised. That's not too bad. It's not great. Top five. Their scouting under
Starting point is 02:16:24 Bergevin was trash. It really was. I mean, they got great. I don't even know if he was around for the Subban second round pick, but they just... I don't think he was the previous GM drafted Superman
Starting point is 02:16:39 so the thing with Bergevin they would bring in these guys like Romanoff and hype the shit out of them it would be too much pressure I think a lot of the time we're just rushed now there's a guy
Starting point is 02:16:56 who should maybe be considered for GM of the year Tom Fitzgerald no Jim Neal. Jim Neal. Well, he got rid of two goalies. What fits Gerald, listen, I would put him in the lead for next year's. Sorry?
Starting point is 02:17:12 No, it has to be things he does next year. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you talked about getting guys locked up to cheap deals. Like, holy cow, this guy's killing it. What do you know about Heisken then? Heisken, yeah. Well, you know.
Starting point is 02:17:28 It's Radek Bonson. it does make me feel a little old well nothing will make me feel older than the realization I had earlier that I'm Adam and I are both more than twice as old as Conor Bedard god that makes me sad
Starting point is 02:17:42 it's okay every day that passes it becomes less true I'll still always think of NHL players as older than me you'll always think of NHL players as older than me? always forever there's a few teams or a few players that
Starting point is 02:17:58 By the way, you want to hear my first concert? I do not think that about Hear my first concert The guy lives just down the road from here I was 8 years old Luke Bryan Not Luke Bryan, I was 8 years old It was Skydome back then
Starting point is 02:18:10 Garth Brooks Garth Brooks Hey, Garth Yeah, Merckxie Yo, there were two kids with the headlocks Did you see that? I saw the San Jose kids or something One was Minnesota, I think the other might have been San Jose
Starting point is 02:18:22 Why are you showing me this? This is players Jim Nils signings Jim Nils signings this season. Robertson, Matt Murray, the other Matt Murray goalie, Ropey Hintz, Joe Pavelski,
Starting point is 02:18:36 Gavin White, Christian Cairo, Kyle McDonald, who could forget Chase Wheatcroft, Matthew Seminoff, Leon Bichelle, good on him for signing his first round pick to a contract. No one does that. Frederick Karlstrom, Alex
Starting point is 02:18:52 Petrovic, holy, you know what? You know what? Engrave it. I hope they engrave this month. Check the trades. ago check the trades yeah and then set it by date so because it only last year right okay that's lavi let yeah love it oh man anton hudobin in a second for max domi and dylan wells like dude it's a good trade yeah it's a good trade but like of the year of the year Evgeny Dadunov for Dennis Gurianoff
Starting point is 02:19:25 alright Nils, okay he got Nils Lundqvist for a the 29th overall pick this year actually, conditional and a 4th Ben Bishop and
Starting point is 02:19:41 Linus Schodin for future considerations I'm sorry, that pick sucks A 20 Conditional third for Scott Wedgwood's not bad Like dude what are we talking about League's most all rightest Pick
Starting point is 02:20:00 New York Rangers pick Is in They're too smart to pass on I'm going to beat you up It's a great franchise It's an American team They need an American player Nailed it
Starting point is 02:20:18 ah gabriel perot i can't wait for labialet to ruin him he's great with his players come on hey labialet's another two-year coach don't you don't you they're two years the rangers the rangers are real good at hiring two-year coaches i'm just saying i don't get the labialet pick as a coach by the way everything the rangers have done at this point has been smart labialet as a coach doesn't make sense to me see everyone's down on him and where did you see that read justin's text what are we allowed to talk about what are you saying yeah i don't i didn't believe it oh my god the nhl's fun fact for oliver bonk son of check radic bonk is that he speaks fluent check man they really didn't go that deep with that guy did they oh my god
Starting point is 02:21:16 the language he speaks is their fun fact imagine what did they do with Perrault fun fact he speaks English fun fact he speaks English you guys American born oh no he's
Starting point is 02:21:33 from Quebec what am I talking about he's just in the US oh he speaks French way to go stupid like you said America, but he's in the U.S. program. I wonder, do you think he played for Canada?
Starting point is 02:21:49 Or did he play for the U.S.? Well, he's wearing red, white, and blue now. Yeah, he's a ranger. Great stats. The Rangers, man. He broke the record for the league he's in. Nobody's ever scored that many goals
Starting point is 02:22:04 in that many games. I don't know. Oh, no way! Beat Austin Matthews' record. Matthew Singlerice. But he's 163 pounds, so he can't... It's a points record, right? He's also the son of Yannick Perrault, former Leaf.
Starting point is 02:22:20 Is he? That's Yannick Perrault's kid? Oh my god! Did sons of former NHL players go at back-to-back picks? Okay, so people who participated in the Battle of Ontario, their kids went back-to-back. Oliver Bonk and Yannick Perrault.
Starting point is 02:22:35 This is the feel of the draft. Tons of hockey sense apparently needs to work on his skating, but that's not a lot of... I think it's unreal that he's a winger. Considering Yannick Perrault was, like, the most notoriously incredible face-off guy ever. Is it the points record or the goals record? It's the points. The points record, okay.
Starting point is 02:22:53 Yeah. Now, I think Perrault is good. Oh, yeah. Justin goes, maybe he's not going to face-off because his dad kept on beating him. But you know who's always good? Kids of NHLers. Like, this dude's going to be a star. Definitely.
Starting point is 02:23:11 And that's why. Holy shit. Now that you mention it, like, wow, does he look like him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Question. Oh, wow. Does Quentin Musty of the Sudbury Wolves fall to 28 for the Leafs? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:23:23 They missed out on their guy. He's a 78-point scorer. He should have changed. First non-dubious draft to get a guy from a rival of the Greyhounds. They should only go with Sudbury Wolves' pick. 100%. I think Musty would be real nice for the Leafs. Is Musty dusty?
Starting point is 02:23:43 The energy is falling rapidly. We're at 24 and there's barely been anything interesting. The pick is in. Alright, the Nashville home town. Let's go. Predators got this pick from the
Starting point is 02:24:03 Oilers in the Tyson Berry Matthias Ekholm trade. 2-4-9 line this season. National Development Program. Will Smith, Gabriel Perot, and Ryan Leonard. That is a stacked ass team. man good for them good for them look at the point toilet that's so stupid the guy in the middle who set the points record went the lowest just because he's short no he's not short he's light and he's a winger oh i don't you know they like the centers better he's going to make him
Starting point is 02:24:30 pay for that one i think yeah he's a guy that i've won attention to of you rotten jerks make make a trade. What about Jim Nill? What about your candidate, Jim Nill? Then I will get up, I'll buy Jim Nill Star Seasons. Will you buy Star Seasons tickets if Jim Nill makes a trade? I don't know if I can afford them.
Starting point is 02:24:49 Okay, one front row seat. And then give it away to a fan. Yes. What if Jim Nill trades for Nylander? Right now. Well, okay. So you have to understand about that, Jesse.
Starting point is 02:25:04 That'll mean Nylander's bad. what do you mean once he's not on the lease anymore it's terrible you have to understand all the deficiencies that you see now it's just you being a hater he loves back checking his best but when he goes to Dallas
Starting point is 02:25:20 lazy doesn't care about the other end of the ice circles in the ozone gonna play a 200 foot game Willie can't do it alright trots head up there Which one?
Starting point is 02:25:40 We have a tweet to read. Oh, the Sean... You're going to like this one. Axel Sandin drove to Nashville from New York last night because of the travel. He was driving with his agent, and his parents were in the car behind him. This is from Sean Shapiro of The Athletic.
Starting point is 02:25:56 He said each time the car went over the speed limit, his mom would call the agent and tell him to slow down. Is his mom Tina Glynn? Is that Steve's mom? uh she sent me a uh crying face emoji when she saw the video of eric young slapping my chest oh that's amazing i love that my mom my mom was um i don't know what it is with my mom she's a nervous driver too she used to uh every time we pass police on the road she'd be like she'd like slow down 10 kilometers under the speed limit and i'd be like mom you can get a ticket for going too
Starting point is 02:26:28 slow you know that right so i was doing driving lessons yeah oh yeah i was doing driving lessons with my parents, and you know how close the go station is. It's literally around the corner. It's maybe 250 meters from my house, maybe 300. And that's how far I made it, driving with my mom. I was like, I'm turning back. Really? Because she was so nervous?
Starting point is 02:26:46 She was so nervous, and she would flinch, like she was reaching for the center console or something. And I'm like, Mom, this is dangerous. I know I don't know anything about driving, but this is dangerous. Pecorine and Roman Yossi. Look at how handsome they are. No, they're ugly.
Starting point is 02:27:02 Macarena is a tall glass of water, man. Oh, no! Tyler Mullendick, you think so? Oh, that's funny. Oh, my God. The goalies can't remember names.
Starting point is 02:27:26 You think he's just making fun of Price? Tanner Mullendick, the Saskatoon Blades, 37 points in 67 games as a defenseman, one of the best skaters in the draft, and a hard competitor. Mullendieck could break out with more power play time next year. He has the tools, just needs to continue
Starting point is 02:27:41 developing. WHL's killing it. Yeah, they are. I told you. Yeah. They got all the Tanners and Cadens going in the first round. They do. You're right. You're right. Here's my question.
Starting point is 02:27:57 Who am I? He was picked out of Saskatoon. bedard played for the pats were there any games that scouts went to where they looked at a player and they're like man this guy's playing like crap tonight and they had to wake themselves up and go oh they're playing against bedard 100 100 like that dude's gonna make anybody look bad oh man they were a minus four tonight oh might have something to do with bedard had seven points you know if conor bedard if he was able to play in the nhl this season do you think he could have helped us all oh yeah yeah yeah no he's disgusting how early in his life could he have been an nhl
Starting point is 02:28:40 player oh well like he was putting up stupid numbers from the moment he arrived in the dub when he was 15. Yes, Chess. We heard this before. Roberto Luongo said the Tendies are having a tough night selecting picks. What's the age?
Starting point is 02:29:11 I think a 16-year-old. He could have played on a fourth-line role. Sheltered role. 17. I think we all agree. like regular season game sure like yeah that's a good distinction well because like okay you're going to get hit so okay whenever you ask a question like that it needs to be under the guise of okay could they still play in the nhl after absorbing 25 nhl hits so that's like what
Starting point is 02:29:43 four or five games worth well i that's those are pretty heavy maybe maybe a little more than four or five games worth all right now has the chat changed its mind on the trade before pick 32 i think the poll had ended oh the polls ended yeah yeah all right i think we already have all right anyway chat let us know uh adam's asking let's talk to the camera i want to know are they are we gonna get a trade because i you guys were like 80 20 on on the yes and i i don't know i i know guys i think it's we're going flat all the way through we're getting a lot of no's yeah no no no no no one said yes so far somebody's a trade or riot they said we want musty musty would be cool must be very cool musty ain't dusty oh i had it backwards this is what the chat's telling me they
Starting point is 02:30:40 were 80 no they were okay yeah i was like what what am i missing am i that far off come on yeah no no somebody said jesse had it wrong okay yeah okay there you go everybody somebody said yawn jimmy jimmy said yawn um i think the nhl draft is disappointed viewers at home so someone found someone went through colby barlow's instagram and they found uh him playing hockey on a pond with Leafs jerseys. Hey! That's a Winnipeg draft pick. That's hilarious.
Starting point is 02:31:17 Come on, Brad. Work those phones. He's just ordering pizza. Meh. Oh, we should probably advertise that there's another stream after this. Oh, Andrew? Yeah, go ahead and advertise it.
Starting point is 02:31:32 Game over! Draft! It's coming up after this. Andrew Berkshire and Mark Dumont will react to Montreal's picks and the others. So we're the during show. They'll be the post show.
Starting point is 02:31:49 So if you want to continue the party, see what everyone's saying. That'll be on the tubes, right? That'll be on the YouTube. Drop it in the chat there if you're there, Robert. YouTube.com slash STPO. Please check it out. what's it all about he has only hit some buttons on obs what do you got i don't know what uh

Starting point is 02:32:42 That's so stupid Man I don't know why that's so funny I gotta duck beneath it Okay there you go Auto Stenberg From Forlunda Hey, must see the Leafs as possible.
Starting point is 02:33:03 Too big. Still possible. Steve's still doing phone stuff. Keep doing phone stuff, Steve. All right, Steve. You're doing good. Sponsors are going to love this. Otto Stenberg, by the way.
Starting point is 02:33:15 Are they excited? Part of the national team, the under 20 national team in Sweden. 11 goals, 15 assists. He's a center and a winger. As most forwards tend to be coming out of junior. Split between Ferlanda's senior team and the J20 team. Creative forward with a nice shot. Does he have enough skill to play in an NHL top suit?
Starting point is 02:33:34 Of course he does. Because you know what he's like in scoring position. Automatic. Oh. What? Oh, there's a dancing... Steve, can you out-dance? He's giving you a lap dance.
Starting point is 02:33:46 Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Oh, man. Do you want to watch this? I need a one-man skit. Chicken lap dance. Adam, get in the chair. No, no, no.
Starting point is 02:34:01 Show your feet. Chicken strippers. Show your feet. Carrie Price tweeted, boy, that was embarrassing. Sorry, David. Dot, dot, dot, Ryan Backer. That's very funny.
Starting point is 02:34:21 I'm licking the chicken. It's lick the actual chicken good. It's not finger licking good. It's lip. Can you... Oh, my God. What are you doing? I'm eating chicken.
Starting point is 02:34:40 This is so stupid. I can't believe you guys. I'm waiting for Musty to go to the Leafs. Drew, who do you think they take at... You can have my mic for pick 27. Do you want it? I think you need it. All right, two more picks.
Starting point is 02:34:57 Leafs could get Musty. A lot of Leafs fans on Twitter Wanting Callum Ritchie If the Leafs do select at 28 What do you guys By the way, Colorado is 27 I've heard rumors that their pick Is going to be shit
Starting point is 02:35:11 So We'll wait to find out who the worst player In the draft is because Colorado is about to select them But first we need to find out about San Jose I heard rumors St. Louis first St. Louis took San Jose By the way, that St. Louis pick
Starting point is 02:35:26 Is the Toronto Maple Leaf first round pick that's from the Ryan O'Reilly trade. So, it also went through Minnesota, because remember, Minnesota was a part of the retention. Andrew Crystal, too. Andrew Crystal would be nice. Adam was saying Twitter wants Crystal.
Starting point is 02:35:42 It wants Richie. Callum Richie. Oh, they want Richie. Okay. I like Musty. What? Does Kevin Papini want? Yeah, you know what? That's always a good one. What did Jay Fresh say? Well, he doesn't say.
Starting point is 02:35:58 He lets his charts do the talking. He analyzes. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see, we'll see. I need a one dance. Where'd the chicken go? I can bring it back if you want it. No, it's all good.
Starting point is 02:36:20 Can I tell you that one of the funniest memes right now is the Michael Jackson lowering the machine gun mid-performance. Have you seen that? No. Justin knows what I'm talking about. Justin, have you seen this? The Michael Jackson machine gun thing? No, no.
Starting point is 02:36:37 It's just one of the funniest memes. It's from a performance in the 90s. Oh, wow. He ended war. He ended war. That was Kendall Jenner's Pepsi before Kendall. That's right, yeah.
Starting point is 02:36:52 There you go. Okay, six minutes ago, and we reference this person on the podcast all the time because uh they have an unreal track record uh just being right uh three more picks until the leafs are up top prospects left on elite prospects board 12 left wing quentin musty number 13 center grayson sauchin number 14 Callum Ritchie center number 19 left wing Andrew Crystal
Starting point is 02:37:26 number 21 right wing Gavin Brindley number 27 forward Riley Height and number 28 which would be fitting center Oscar Fisker Moulgaard have you considered getting a better voice well dude
Starting point is 02:37:43 I'm in so much pain I don't know why it hurts so much well it's because you've been talking all day and then you you so we we had stuff to drink last night which puts you at a disadvantage and then you had a podcast and then you had a three-hour event and now you're doing a four-hour stream and in between that you guys went out did streeters yeah so you did a lot you did a lot my friend there was we ran into some characters there's we ran into a couple people who weren't hockey fans at all who we interviewed oh that's fun and uh we are going to have to uh edit
Starting point is 02:38:17 oh my gosh Adam attention to the television screen this man on the television screen you just said his name, Mike Rear is your most hated enemy after Dominic Duchar you want him to retain more salary
Starting point is 02:38:33 on Eric Carlson more than you want to show people your feet that's right, well because a 20% discount on Eric Carlson's bad contract, and I know it's not Greer's fault that that was signed it's not going to work but he doesn't want to retain more I know, I know.
Starting point is 02:38:46 By the way, do you think they should just do it? Ah! That one, I really effing hate him. Quentin Musty. Ah! All right, now, Quentin Musty is a great pick. You can't blame him for doing it. Let me just pull up Quentin Musty's profile here.
Starting point is 02:39:03 Mom's really trying to hold it together. He was the first overall pick in the 2021 draft for the OHL, one of the draft's premier power forwards, 6'2", 190 pounds, exactly what the Leafs need. Great offensive skills and a shot, but will skating and defensive play hold him back? He had a good year in Subway, right? Yes, he did. Really good.
Starting point is 02:39:19 By the way, that pick was New Jersey's pick originally. It was a part of the Timo Mayer deal. That's the face of a kid who wanted to go to Trump. Shut up. Alright, Drew, you're up. Yeah. now what's interesting about
Starting point is 02:39:44 Drew's getting in here for Colorado wherever you want what is really interesting about this pick is believe it or not this Colorado pick was a part of Darcy
Starting point is 02:40:00 Kemper's move to Colorado in 2021 the Coyotes got the signing rights to Connor Timmons uh they get the 2022 first round pick which uh colorado sorry arizona picked reed schaefer with that they got a third and colorado got darcy kemper at a million dollars retained you know it's hilarious they didn't pick reed schaefer they didn't edmonton did colorado didn't pick no because they traded it yes that this pick has been around now this pick
Starting point is 02:40:34 has been around the block uh yes it has so the conditions are the avalanche pick is in the top 10 in 2022 the coyotes will receive colorado's 2023 first round pick instead the result is arizona will not receive uh colorado's 2022 first round pick so uh it's a fascinating little deal um and colorado picking next is going to be i'm curious about how they screw this up this is the first time they picked in a while in the first round that they've hung on to their pick um oh I give Chris McFarlane some credit, though. He didn't trade it. And he's got pick 31, another pick coming up shortly.
Starting point is 02:41:07 Don't forget that. What does Colorado need organizationally? Anything. Their prospect cupboard is completely bare. They went all in two years ago. I mean, they got to stand the cup out of it. But I'm thinking forwards. Unless they're going to lose Devontae's next summer.
Starting point is 02:41:23 Let's be honest. You think? He's going to get like $10 million from somebody. Cap goes up. You can't afford him. Man, that is one of the worst trades of Lou Amorello's career. Oh, yeah. That probably is.
Starting point is 02:41:37 For two second round picks? Two seconds. How badly did you need to trade him? You could have moved on from somebody else. The biggest surprise is that he didn't make that trade while he was with the Leafs. Dude, to put it into context, Lou Amorello got two second round picks for Daniel Winnick twice.
Starting point is 02:41:56 Oh, my God. Twice. because he had them, traded them, re-signed them, traded them. But maybe the Islanders actually valued their best defenseman before Lou got there. Oh.
Starting point is 02:42:10 Oh, I don't like it. How do you hit a grand slam like drafting Devon Taves and you trade him before he's even hit his potential? I mean, ask the Leafs with Tuka Rask, right? That's one of the worst trades in NHL history. It is.
Starting point is 02:42:24 Is it? it would be cemented no it's not one of the worst in NHL history it might be it's one of the worst in Leafs history for sure but like when you compare that to oh shut up one of the worst trades in NHL history
Starting point is 02:42:37 someone showed up to our event with a sod jersey and Adam actually we had to leave early because he glassed him he didn't bottle him he glassed him took a glass and he went true living is on the phone do we think he hangs on to this pick after Colorado
Starting point is 02:42:54 maybe he trades up one spot with colorado what business can we do sure i mean realistically if you're true living this is like your first moment real moment as the leafs gm like david camp doesn't really count like this no this is your bookmark your first pick yeah like what was the first pick of dubas's career and burke's career like do you guys remember the 2018 uh would have been rasmus sandin it was 2014 he was just agm and wasn't that was like no no you late first late first. I think it was 28th. Was he? 28th or 29th. Okay, so bad pick. And then
Starting point is 02:43:29 Burke was Tyler Bakes' first? Yeah. No, Brian Burke's first pick as Leafs GM was Nazem Kadri. So, great pick. Great Family Cup champion. Exactly. Yikes. Why did you have to remind me of that, man? Terrible. What, Tyler Bakes?
Starting point is 02:43:47 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Is that the guy you want? Yes. Well, we're taking him. How about that, though, eh? Getting rid of Newhook and Galchenyuk and getting Johansson, Colton, all of a sudden in a first.
Starting point is 02:44:01 That's all they've lost? I don't know. Do you think Jim Neal could do better than that? I don't know. I think he could. Yeah, it would be tough to beat Jim Neal, you know, in signing Ryan Suter to that big deal. It's such a groundbreaking decision.
Starting point is 02:44:13 As much as we hate it, because Drew's going to gloat, the Colorado Avalanche had a really good week. Oh, my God, yeah. Like, a really well-done, well, like, really crafty sort of moves that still leave them the availability to make a bigger move if they want to.
Starting point is 02:44:25 And you sort of felt it coming, because it's like things hadn't gone Colorado's way for a few months, and it's like, eh, I think they might start killing it. I mean, they still, like the whole year it hasn't gone their way. Everyone got hurt. Yeah, I can't believe that.
Starting point is 02:44:40 I still have a hard time believing that. McFarland. Oshawa! Callum Ritchie. Center replaced Newhook from Shwellywood. He plays center obviously entered the year as one of 2023's
Starting point is 02:44:57 top prospects. Was expected to maybe go in the top 10 but has slid due to lackluster only power play goal season so I guess he's got a lot of goals in the... Sorry? Oh, point per game. Oh, only a point per game season. Toolsy player needs to improve his skating. 59 points
Starting point is 02:45:13 in 59 games for the Oshawa freaking generals. By the way, are you still an Oshawa generals fan, Steve, now that you're no longer in Shwellywood? They're still. Are you upset that the oshawa guy went to colorado right before the toronto pick i'd be more upset well okay so i will say this like when toronto had tyler biggs and he briefly went to the oshawa generals it was cool to have like one of the leafs top prospects down the street so you could watch them right so if the leafs had got callum ritchie i'd be like oh i'll go check him out and i'll
Starting point is 02:45:45 talk about his game now you can do it in the short drive from brampton now people watching stream can come with me to an austral generals game wearing a colorado jersey not a leafster oh there you go he's a big boy from oakville kind of looks like he'd be my kid his uh oh my god you're right wow yeah dream teammate ween wayne gretzky all right i want to ask the green girl i want to ask the gripper gang in the chat uh what uh what picture the leafs make what do we What do we still like here, guys? All right, Jess is going to tag back in. What do we like here?
Starting point is 02:46:18 Andrew Crystal? Okay. Andrew Crystal would be good. I need Andrew Crystal. Thank you, Drew. Woo! Kelowna Rockets, Andrew Crystal, WHL, 95 points in 54 games.
Starting point is 02:46:31 So hear me out. But undersized. Hear me out. Toronto, biggest media market. So the headlines. Have the Leafs found a gem in Crystal? Oh, is Crystal a diamond in the rough? did they inherit their grandmother's crystal set um yeah that used to be a whole is the
Starting point is 02:46:53 andrew crystal good at hockey i was i was headline like that i what what is it jesse they're going to trade down the leafs they're going to trade down how do you know speaking it into existence everybody keeps saying for livings on the phone are full of poop everyone on twitter you keep saying they're going to trade down i'm going to say it and then it's going to to happen no we're getting it's gonna happen he's gonna trade down he's gonna trade down yeah come on no trading down might objectively be the right thing to do here but andrew crystal's available andrew crystal is available do you not like andrew crystal justin he's five nine and that's not tall enough for a guy like just my buddy my buddy nakash said uh
Starting point is 02:47:36 brad treliving trading our pick to uh for zadorov and the rights to luchich Stop it. I would throw a fit. That's 5'9 and not fast. Crystal's 5'9 and not fast. Bronman had him 68th for the athletic. Oh, my gosh. One of the more divisive prospects in the draft because he lacks speed.
Starting point is 02:47:55 Do you know where McKenzie had him? Justin, do you know? Can you find out for us? Thank you, man. Really appreciate that. Andrew Crystal. That's crazy. The prospects had him 20th.
Starting point is 02:48:09 Wow. Looks like the Leafs are going to make this pick. They haven't went? 19? 27. Oh, right here. They're making the pick. Are the Leafs getting up and making the pick?
Starting point is 02:48:27 Drew is... They haven't made it yet. Drew is starting a petition to go to the Oshawa Generals home opener game to watch Callum Ritchie live. you should do it you know what Drew they are a fun game
Starting point is 02:48:42 Leafs are getting up they're making it quick yeah I knew it I tried he did say that it was a good bet they'd keep it but I wonder this will begin to say a lot this draft will say a lot about what the Leafs value now I don't
Starting point is 02:49:01 like it I mean I know their scouting staff is the same but I don't know what Brad Treliving himself values, right? There's so many guys going up. Brad? Brad the dad, I think, had something to do with this pick, don't you think?
Starting point is 02:49:18 Yeah. You trust your scouts, right? Alright. Then they're going with the undersized. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I want more shots of Tree Living walking up to the stage.
Starting point is 02:49:35 I want to know what his body language is saying. I was about to say Bradley Nadeau, Penn Ticton. Why do you like Bradley Nadeau, Justin? Massive amount of points in the BCHL. so what school is Nadeau committed to do you know
Starting point is 02:50:08 Maine they have a good program it's definitely not BU sorry shut up it's not BU you guys are stinky knee slobber
Starting point is 02:50:28 this is classy yeah Wes Clark making the pick oh Easton Cowan wow wow they love their london nights that's so that's an off the board pick it is off the board on account of i don't remember reading his name at all tonight he's and he's way up in the first uh level so jesse makes a great point this dude is sitting nowhere near where the first rounder
Starting point is 02:51:09 yep here's what uh elite prospect 2023 track guide says easton cowan is a highly intelligent creative forward creates opportunities by out-speeding and out-dangling opposition. Cowan's hockey center smashes his quickness and his feet, and he's able to link passing plays in transition, manipulate defensive gaps with clever movements and feints, and find the pockets
Starting point is 02:51:28 of space in the slot. In the 08 shell, he had 53 points in 68 games. He's still walking. Yeah, look how far this dude's got to walk down. He was not expecting to go to that. No. 70th wow consolidated rankings so it's still coming down the leaves have taken the biggest have made
Starting point is 02:51:49 the biggest jump in terms of prospects that you wouldn't expect yeah probably because it was originally arizona i'm sure twitter is burning down let's see there's somebody in london who used to work for the leafs mark hunter right if i remember correctly a great gm works for the Knights and has a connection to the Leafs. Platinum seat goes, kid was named after a hockey stick. Elite stuff. That's interesting. Penalty killer, they're saying.
Starting point is 02:52:28 Leaf or buy blood, you know it's an off-the-board pick when the kid is sitting in the 500 section. I like his hair. there's a little mullet going on 5-11 it's alright Dynasty Ja if you go off the board you trade back
Starting point is 02:52:47 that's honestly not a that's not a bad argument that's Dubas' ethos oh yeah first ever prospect to take an elevator down to the draft first ever first round pick you know cause they're all sitting lower but you know he's off the board
Starting point is 02:53:04 I don't hate it I don't i don't know if anybody knows at this point but no i trust mark connor he only develops gems 5 10 bucks 70. 5 11 t so yeah he's not a big kid justin goes i'm surprised they have footage for him no because they have footage for all the guys who go tomorrow as well yeah yeah oh this isn't like yokich where he's drafted the taco bell so i actually have a little insight in this because i was at the nhl network getting ready for the trade deadline
Starting point is 02:53:50 one year and we started making our packs for all the players who could potentially go at the trade deadline i think at least two weeks ahead and okay so we had to have them like i don't know It was at least a few days out. Elite Prospects had him at 66. Patrick Bacon of Top Down Hockey had him at 109th. Wow. They said Cowan is a small forward who played most of his D1 in the GOJHL
Starting point is 02:54:21 and then scored well under a point of game in the OHL. Greater Ontario General. Yeah. Players with this profile rarely get selected in the first round. Where did Bob have him? that's all that matters 53 no
Starting point is 02:54:37 trade back what are you doing well they must have seen something Justin the highest ranking is Craig Button at number 34
Starting point is 02:54:53 which drill it means so he was on the phone quite a bit that doesn't necessarily mean he was working on anything to do with the 28th pick it's gonna take some time to what for austin the guy right beside his shoulder used to be my boss at nhl number oh oh easton oh my gosh wow well you think like yeah well like that's the first thing you said so he's the size of mitch marner except shorter and also mitch marner had completely world-beating elite talent which is you know allows you to make the nhl earlier than maybe you should that good
Starting point is 02:55:55 yeah this he doesn't have what Mitch Marner has I gotta be honest they must see something in this kid that uh everyone else doesn't because uh that's here's the problem is usually when
Starting point is 02:56:11 uh players have a or when teams have a I'm smarter than you attitude it usually means the player sucks it's like man it's like it's like when beside it freaking uh bruno cabalco you know yeah he's two years away from being two years away and and and
Starting point is 02:56:32 like the leafs have done this so many times tyler biggs freddie goche things like that you go oh so no i'm not i'm not writing him off but i'm like man sometimes they have made no what do you got justin yeah even those guys so you know what though a lot of the off the board picks in recent years though have hit um cider at six yeah um remember yegor chenikov um with uh he went i think 19th to columbus he was supposed to go something like 125th and his development since that pick has been has him as one of the better prospects call that pick a winnikoff oh you know you know i'm saying you also couldn't uh theo lindstein going 29 to st louis and i just want to thank the st louis blues organization for hurrying up that's true from brunis they made
Starting point is 02:57:25 a really good pick there uh let me just see uh see here's the thing about the leafs is like i was really hoping that they'd make something like a fun and exciting pick at that i guess this is fun and exciting but it's going to be so divisive that i'm a little bit concerned to get on leafs twitter tomorrow um justin do you have a uh theo lindstein i'm looking it up uh you know this might be a bit off the board as well is it what are the leafs getting in eastern cowan high energy winger tenacious as hell great speed improved so much as a play driver in the second half just scratching the surface that's brock otten 41 um so the consolidated ranking for theo lindstrom is 41.
Starting point is 02:58:12 He's a safe calm and a play killer with his stick. Man, that was like most of the Leafs through the 2000s. Play killers. Simple, good decisions, even some deception in open lanes. Lindstein holds a good gap and is quick out on the boards. He joins attacks
Starting point is 02:58:29 and plays solid. What the fuck? That's a safe pick. That's the definition of a safe pick. Theo? Theo Lindstein, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah high floor low ceiling
Starting point is 02:58:42 Adam says those guys suck Steve said those guys suck that was Steve oh man Brock Otten I'm reading a couple of his tweets because he had before the draft that he thought Easton might move up
Starting point is 02:58:58 so he said I'm starting to believe that there's a chance Easton Cowan ends up being a top 40 selection if I was a betting man I'd bet on it his self his strong second half and playoff performance has really pushed him up the boards tons of momentum heading into the draft so there's a little buzz about him moving up the ranking okay and the rankings aren't updated you know like yeah so the second so at the end of it he looked like a top 40 pick which is still not 28 but he had a great second half of the season and
Starting point is 02:59:29 scouts liked him and is it is it possible he is because the leaf selected him the best player in draft i mean i just want to know like it's i mean it seems like it was a lead pick i'm trying to look at what you think i'm trying to look up his production per game and like break it i'll break it down into like maybe quadrants of the season people aren't happy with their joke well so he's clearly an elite pick i'm trying to think he's got a prospects page on elite prospects which means he's elite he's elite no there was there was a player um who didn't have the greatest season when he was drafted but he had a really good second half and that was josh levo but even he went in the third round do you know scouting service scouting scouting service on twitter
Starting point is 03:00:22 it's just called it's called literally scouting service yes yeah yeah jerome jerome berube here's what jerome berube had to say uh about easton cowan highly smart and competitive forward with the london knights something that jesse kind of mentioned with his read type of forward who can play anywhere in the lineup strong playoff value and gets the tag the guy is a hockey player what does that mean when not in hockey circles made huge progress this season with london so he was 29th on their list so you audibly laughed at that or something else it's like a hockey trade what's a hockey player like what is that guy the hockey sometimes draft guy just run of words to ways to describe these kids and they say things like ah he's a hockey player yeah you
Starting point is 03:01:04 know and it's like you're not giving me anything that's exactly it you know it's like so you know what there is actually something to him having a good second half he had one two three four five he had five points in his first 12 games which sucks like when you're trying to go high in the draft then he goes on four game point streak again three game pointless but then if you look at the back quarter of the season it's actually pretty ridiculous like a bunch of multi-goal games a lot of multi-point games okay listen i'm down a lot of people are saying uh that's along the same lines of saying somebody has a high hockey iq which means you're fucking smart which means really nothing another sense no what is it we got just the least of prioritized hockey no but that's
Starting point is 03:02:00 that's just your decision you're talking about like decision making in split second the cases you know or following the play oh yeah they don't want any more jake gardner right or you can follow the plays that are drawn up on the board yeah you know that you gotta circle out in a three two one at some point i'll break these numbers down a little better but like again just quickly going through his numbers you know what he also didn't do at the beginning of the season shoot like at all and then by the end of the season he ended the season with five shots five shots seven shots he was consistently getting three or three shots or more per night whereas he didn't have more than three shots in a game until game one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve
Starting point is 03:02:43 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 holy fuck he didn't have a game with more than four or sorry more than three shots until december right so his first half there's something to his first half stonk yeah and he was he must have been at the bottom half of draft boards you know if he's a second round pick or whatever and then he looked like he could be on the edge of the first round by the time the second half rolled around. So Bradley Nadeau goes to... Let's wait and see. We don't have a choice, Jesse. We do have to wait and see.
Starting point is 03:03:18 I'm just saying. We don't know. He said he would be a while. He's 17. Yeah. Bradley Nadeau. I'm looking. There you go, Bradley Nadeau. I'm bringing him up on elite
Starting point is 03:03:35 prospects for only elite. The power that nato creates off his shot is not only downright terrifying to witness in person but awe-inspiring from a mechanical point of view he's effectively stacked more nuance of deception uh to make it more date himself the dangerous threat uh the curl and drag attempts around sprawling defenders to angle changing releases nato's arms are always separated from his body leveraging in full force of his upper body so he's big and spooky and the carolina hurricanes just get better another uh Looks like another player. Oh, he's from
Starting point is 03:04:07 New Brunswick. Look at that. He's traveled a long way to play in the BCHL. Yeah, so people are sending us Easton Cowan highlights. The goal of the year. There's something there. It's just, again, the question still remains.
Starting point is 03:04:24 28th? You couldn't trade back and still get him? I don't know. I mean, yeah. funny thing about this too is we're never gonna remember well Steve will Steve's gonna remember this moment like four years from now
Starting point is 03:04:42 when he's in the NHL that we didn't trade back for but most people won't when he's like scoring all these that's what sets me apart baby yeah remembering if could have traded back to get Easton Cowan Easton Cowan also had 21 points
Starting point is 03:04:58 at 20 playoff games excuse me if you guys already said that but not bad yeah big game performer big game daddy call me in five years we got Colorado on the board next to make another shitty pick so I hope you guys are ready for that
Starting point is 03:05:12 does Drew have to come back on for you? Carlo I was lucky enough to watch a lot of Easton Cowan during the OHL finals and the CHL coverage with break button and this was the scouting report we had for Cowan he was London's best player in the finals
Starting point is 03:05:31 his standout quality is competitive energy everybody's saying that he's a mix of he's he's in in the mix everywhere not easily denied stays in the fight gritty feisty very good skater with speed and quickness two-way threat and uh with his speed offensively and defensively has taken significant strides forward to become a strong contributor in all areas excellent penalty killer and creates offensive opportunities on the pk has improved significantly over the course of the season and you know what that does happen thank you drew yeah that does happen all the time uh and you know this is why none of us are prospect experts but that that's kind of what makes the draft fun now this next pick from the worst team in the nhl the colorado
Starting point is 03:06:11 avalanche came from florida can you name the trade it came from florida in the color colorado has a first round pick from florida yep hey oh via montreal he just wrecked it last season it's so easy. Drew, you can't give him that. It's Ben Chirot. This is a pick that Montreal had acquired from the Rangers. You said last season
Starting point is 03:06:41 that screwed me up. Yeah, it was last season. I thought you meant they acquired it last season. Oh, no. No, they acquired it today or yesterday. Sorry. Sorry, that's my bad. Fucker.
Starting point is 03:06:54 Are we family friendly anymore? you can do whatever you want son of a fuck I'm so tired here we go I drank like 5 bio steels through the course of last year's stream I was
Starting point is 03:07:15 thirsty boy wait Justin what did you tweet here the Colby Barlow thing what is it he looks like Keanu Reeves he's hot Toby Barlow he does
Starting point is 03:07:37 he's got a Keanu Reeves thing everyone's hotter than the Leafs we're almost at 4 hours for the draft start at 6 right 9.30 6 local it's 10.30
Starting point is 03:07:55 back on these skills okay can it this is crazy but it can't because it does every year i don't know why we have to bring an entourage on stage i don't so here's how i would do the draft gary comes out you call in the pick and the pick comes out from behind the stage you have like you know the 60 70 top guys they're like they're all going to be there anyway and get them in faster do they have shoes on? They got shoes on. You have shoes on. Oh, man. Stinks.
Starting point is 03:08:36 So, Megan Chayka, I think, had him as the first or second highest guy remaining. Yeah. He is 27th on the, when you pull all the rankings together. Slick offensive defenseman with terrific wheels and smarts. Undersized. 5'10",
Starting point is 03:08:52 172 pounds but moves well enough to be positionally sound and uh in the m he was in the mhl last year 25 points in 22 games devon taves replacement sorry drew okay so here's what i love about draft footage is you got a filter between is that a good play or are they just playing against amateur athletes yeah is it was this a game of first a club team you know there was a play that they showed i want to say it was nadeau a few picks ago where he had the puck for several seconds doesn't even make a move with it he's just he's waiting out the goalie and he snipes it it's a great shot but the goalie is very obviously just shitting their pants and like it's not a highlight as much as it is a low light yeah it was practice for this or just the sort of highlight
Starting point is 03:09:42 that had like it's junior a yeah like that bchl is high end junior a it's the best right junior ray you can find but that kid's hockey career is ending in the next like handful of years well like well you never know he's playing recklessly with drew slashing drew too drew's got a nasty bicep bruise um no it's just i just with every highlight i should be going damn that was an incredible thing that player did but i'm distracted by what everyone else on the ice is doing checking the credibility of the highlight yeah you got it but his all defenseman on his team is scoring 0.5 points the scouts love the holika gretzky cup they love they love rating so uh
Starting point is 03:10:34 gilliev am i saying my first correctly goliath he had five points in five games like scouts would love that yeah but did you see when the holika was 2021 that's not it's just not relevant information yes three years two years it's not like it's three tournaments removed yeah yeah it's not relevant information like there was there was a guy I interviewed prior to his draft year his name is Colt Kennedy and part
Starting point is 03:11:07 of the reason he was getting some traction his OHL numbers were fine and like he could maybe get drafted sort of thing but like it wasn't a guarantee but if if he were anybody else i don't know if he would get any buzz but the reason he got buzz is he was a top 10 ohl pick but like when he went into the ohl yeah but like it's just a couple years down the lines it's just not i don't know if it's relevant information he had he was he had five points in five games first of all five games as a sample size wouldn't be relevant enough information to draft a player if it happened yesterday
Starting point is 03:11:50 but the the scouts love the players who show up and they love the guys who perform well the kalinka gretzky they love the um the what's the oh where they got all the guys in the o together it happens like mid-season silver stick the prospects game or whatever it's called oh oh the ohl yeah prospect chl chl sorry chl they love the top process and they love the world juniors like they value these checkpoints a lot more than just everyday play the top prospect game is a fun one too so i went one year it was in oshawa and john tavaris was there i think tavaris had already been traded from oshawa to london he might have still been in general so you know he's gonna go first overall probably but the buzz heading into that game was tavaris should not be playing there's
Starting point is 03:12:39 no reason for him to play he's gonna go first overall worst he's gonna go second overall because there was headman as well he should not be playing what happens end of the second period zach cassian takes him into the boards his shoulder and immediately just the whole building is silent you could hear john on the ice like just slamming his stick like i shouldn't even like the you can't hear what he's saying but the the undercurrent is very obviously i shouldn't have even been playing now what was amazing about that is he didn't miss a single game he scored a hat trick his next game unreal yeah wow we actually we got burned i didn't know that story we got burned for that um for junior hockey magazine that junior show we used to do so we were recording
Starting point is 03:13:25 with our ohl insider and uh we had to record with him before we had to record with him before a game happened john taveras yes okay and our show had to go up before the london knights next game or the oshawa generals next game whatever it was and so we were like is is he confirmed hurt all we had heard is he was hurt so we did the segment as if he was hurt and not playing then he fucking plays and scores a hat trick the gold knights are making a selection that means that we have gone the entire first round without a
Starting point is 03:14:03 single trade not a move not a single move no transactions unbelievable David Edstrom oh so happy good for him
Starting point is 03:14:18 and he gets to go to the Stanley Cup winner how neat is that yeah he is So he's from Gothenburg, Sweden. Oh, lots of occupiers. He's American-Swedish. Slippily good in almost every facet of the game. He's made mold of being a two. Big two-way center.
Starting point is 03:14:36 Also provides a lot of value offensively. And at times, even in transition, he's a solid distributor of the puck. Both ends of the offensive zone and breakout. Supports his defensemen down low. Reads passing lanes and covers puck battles. This guy's a center. He's 6'3", and he's 187 pounds. 6'3"?
Starting point is 03:14:54 Yeah. Nice. Big boy. Swedish genes. It's always funny with the Swedish league because it's like, ah, they played 16 games. Yeah. But for Rolanda, J20, 28 points in 28 games in the junior program.
Starting point is 03:15:09 Not bad. He did play 11 games for the Rolanda men's league team, 11 games, two goals to assist. His D partner gave him a bad, but now I'm watching everything else that's happening. His Departure is going to be a bad pass. See, I just screwed up the whole draft. You're lucky I waited this long to screw up the draft for you.
Starting point is 03:15:25 Next year, all you're going to be able to watch is the highlights and everyone else doing something wrong. Oh, yeah. His Departure was not trying, and it gave him an awful pass. You didn't want to mess up his hair, and you screwed it up. No, your hair is still perfect. Look at that. Oh, it's good.
Starting point is 03:15:43 One of the best jerseys. It's a great jersey. Yeah, it sparkles. Fantastic. They embraced what they were. Yep. They're glittery. They're Vegas.
