Speaker 1: NHL Stanley Cup Final started last night Game one. Edmonton
Speaker 1: was able to get it done at overtime. It was
Speaker 1: an awesome game. Such a grueling tournament. We'll do some
Speaker 1: hockey now with our friend Belle Frasier from the Salt
Speaker 1: Lake Tribune on a Thursday afternoon. Bell, Happy Thursday.
Speaker 2: How are you good?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good? Thank you for your time. What'd you make
Speaker 1: a Game one last night? And who do you like
Speaker 1: in the series.
Speaker 3: It was one of the most entertaining games we've had
Speaker 3: all NHL Playoffs, let alone the series. You know, both
Speaker 3: teams know each other really well. It's a rematch of
Speaker 3: last year's Stanley Cup Final, and I think it was
Speaker 3: really important for Edmonton to get Game one at home
Speaker 3: because everyone knows if you give the Panthers an inch
Speaker 3: will take a mile, especially winning on the road. They've
Speaker 3: been really good on the road throughout the playoffs, so
Speaker 3: defending home ittes is huge. And also, you know Leon
Speaker 3: Drysdle is one of the biggest stars in this series.
Speaker 3: He didn't score one goal in last year's Stanley Cup Final,
Speaker 3: and he had two last night, including the game winning
Speaker 3: goal in double overtime. So I think you're going to
Speaker 3: see a different Edmonton Oilers team this time around. They're
Speaker 3: out for redemption. It's hard to think Connor McDavid and
Speaker 3: his crew, you know, let a loss in a Game
Speaker 3: seven or whatever game it is, let the Stanley Cups
Speaker 3: slip out of their fingers again. But on the flip side,
Speaker 3: the Florida Panthers are that good. You know, they could
Speaker 3: have won last night easily as well, and they have
Speaker 3: a different kind of depth this year or two. You know,
Speaker 3: their third line has been one of their best lines
Speaker 3: throughout the playoffs. So I'm gonna go with Edmonton just
Speaker 3: because the redemption arc, but I would not be surprised
Speaker 3: at all of Florida pulled it off. It should be
Speaker 3: a good series, though. If last night was the.
Speaker 1: Preview, do you'd think we'll get six or seven games?
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been bemoaning the fact, both in Pro
Speaker 1: basketball and Pro hockey, neither the conference finals went seven,
Speaker 1: and there really is nothing like a game seven in
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup playoffs. Certainly in the final. Do you
Speaker 1: think we're going to get seven of these bell I.
Speaker 3: Not to think it goes at least six alone, because
Speaker 3: they're so evenly matched as far as you know, there's
Speaker 3: not major major injuries. Obviously, Hymen's out for the Oilers
Speaker 3: and the guys for hour out, but it seems like
Speaker 3: both sides are holding up pretty well. So without you know,
Speaker 3: any big losses in terms of personnel, I can't imagine
Speaker 3: it doesn't go six, but we'll see. It's it's always
Speaker 3: when you predict something that the opposite happens. So who knows.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be irresponsible here. Sam Bennett's a free
Speaker 1: agent two goals last night. A player like that, veteran
Speaker 1: player with a Stanley Cup title in his back pocket,
Speaker 1: type of player that maybe the Utah Mammoths could look
Speaker 1: at and free agency with that twenty ish million dollars
Speaker 1: at their disposal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely think it's something they look at. I've
Speaker 3: kind of been high on Sam Bennett honestly throughout this
Speaker 3: I think that's more of the type of player that
Speaker 3: they need, not only because he's a center and he's
Speaker 3: been in the top six on a Stanley Cup winning team,
Speaker 3: like you said, but he has real grit to him.
Speaker 3: He's and he's controversial. You know, He's had some hits
Speaker 3: and cost some concussions that people really aren't happy about,
Speaker 3: which is completely understandable. You want to keep the players safe.
Speaker 3: But he plays with an edge and he's physical, and
Speaker 3: not that he's crazy, but I think he just has
Speaker 3: a little bit of that, you know, like spider mentality.
Speaker 3: That not to say Utah's fully lacking, but I think
Speaker 3: he'd hold them accountable to a different level and also
Speaker 3: make them harder to play against. People do not want
Speaker 3: to play against Sam Bennett at all when he gets
Speaker 3: on the ice, and that's something you usually see in
Speaker 3: Utah's bottom six guys are you know, it's hard to
Speaker 3: play against the Lost and Kraus, Josh Jone, Jack McBain line.
Speaker 3: But to have someone of that caliber upfront would be great,
Speaker 3: and like you said, he's able to produce. I do
Speaker 3: think the price tag because of the season he's had
Speaker 3: in the playoffs he's had, is going up. A lot
Speaker 3: of NHL insiders have said that teams would be willing
Speaker 3: to offer him ten million dollars AAV, which I don't
Speaker 3: think Utah would do force him. Bennett, given you know,
Speaker 3: his age and also the players he's surrounded with in Florida,
Speaker 3: definitely helped him. He won't be playing with you know,
Speaker 3: Carter ver Hagen and Matthew Kashuk in Utah, So I
Speaker 3: don't think they go at that price tag, but I
Speaker 3: definitely think it's someone you look into. You make a
Speaker 3: couple of calls, and that's definitely on their radar.
Speaker 1: Any other you know, and again it's so early in
Speaker 1: the process, and we'll do draft here in a moment,
Speaker 1: but any other I'm sure you review the free agency
Speaker 1: list like I have in you know. Of course Sam
Speaker 1: is top of mind because he's playing in the Stanley
Speaker 1: Cup final. You know, I think the big name everyone's
Speaker 1: talking about is Mitch Marner. I'm not sure that you
Speaker 1: know he's only twenty eight, but maybe he's too. I
Speaker 1: have a name for what Utah would look to do.
Speaker 1: Any other names you want to throw out there that
Speaker 1: Bill and a staff could look at to bring in
Speaker 1: to help this team take that next step.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean regarding Mitch Marner. I personally am not
Speaker 3: on the Mitch Marner change just for Utah. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's crazy to say don't be interested in Mitch Maarner.
Speaker 3: If he came here, I'm sure he be great. No
Speaker 3: one's turning down an one hundred point player. Who has
Speaker 3: just the raw talent that he does. But I can't
Speaker 3: imagine that it's Bill. I'm showing so little to wrap
Speaker 3: up fourteen million dollars for seven or eight years in
Speaker 3: Mitch Marner. I think that Utah would be much better
Speaker 3: getting someone bigger, more physical, a little bit more rough
Speaker 3: around the edges, who still has that scoring touch and
Speaker 3: comes at a lower price tag. And there are guys
Speaker 3: like that. I think Brock Besser from the Vancouver Canucks,
Speaker 3: he's going to be a UFA. He's twenty eight years old.
Speaker 3: Right wing believe. He had fifty points and twenty five
Speaker 3: goals this regular season, and of note, he shares an
Speaker 3: agent with Nick Buke's dad. Nick Bukestad's the USA, but
Speaker 3: he spent last year in Utah and he raved about
Speaker 3: the team, the ownership, and his exit interviews he said
Speaker 3: it was the best place he's been, especially for his
Speaker 3: family too. So you have to think that Besser's the age,
Speaker 3: kind of has that in the back of his mind.
Speaker 3: And his last contract had a six point six five
Speaker 3: million AA, so you know, a lot more affordable. He's
Speaker 3: going to get paid higher than that this summer, but
Speaker 3: more affordable than a marner. Also, you look at Nikolai
Speaker 3: Eilers from the Winnipeg Jets. I think that's another consistent
Speaker 3: you know score. I think he's had twenty plus goal
Speaker 3: seasons for a majority of his NHL career. Yeah, eight
Speaker 3: of his ten years in the NHL. He was on
Speaker 3: the President Trophy winning team this year with the Winnipeg Jets,
Speaker 3: and he's coming off a seven year, forty two million
Speaker 3: dollar contracts. So again, more in Utah's range and could
Speaker 3: just add that backbreaking scoring touch. And then this is
Speaker 3: long winded, but I think maybe under the radar is
Speaker 3: someone like Ryan Donato from the Chicago Blackhawks. He's a
Speaker 3: center and he was one of the only bright spots
Speaker 3: for them this year. I imagine they tried to keep
Speaker 3: him because of the impact he had, but he was
Speaker 3: only on a four million dollar year for two years,
Speaker 3: so he's not probably that top two center that Utah
Speaker 3: was looking for. But if they wanted a little bit
Speaker 3: more depth down the middle, they could look at that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Bill Armstrong very creative, and I have a
Speaker 3: feeling that the biggest thing you Tall gets this summer
Speaker 3: might be through trade and not even through free agency.
Speaker 3: So we'll see what he does. But those are some
Speaker 3: of the main names kind of floating around the NHL
Speaker 3: market right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, Bell for our listeners, totally not for me, but
Speaker 1: only for our listeners. Tell us what an what an
Speaker 1: entry level contract is and what it means.
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you referring to Simyshevan Boot, Yes, Ed.
Speaker 1: Gabe Smith, but Bell for our listeners, because I mean
Speaker 1: I totally could break it down, but I don't feel
Speaker 1: like it, so you go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I mean they signed a bunch of guys
Speaker 3: to entry level contracts last week. The biggest names are
Speaker 3: Dimitri Simachev and Daniel Boot who were drafted in the
Speaker 3: first round by the Arizona Coyotes a few years ago
Speaker 3: and they were playing in the phl Over in Russia,
Speaker 3: so that's very exciting. So they were signed to entry
Speaker 3: level contracts and an ELC is entry level contract. It's
Speaker 3: a two way contract for players who are signed as
Speaker 3: rookie so they haven't been in the NHL. Yet. It
Speaker 3: allows them to be sent back and forth between the
Speaker 3: AHL without having to clear waivers. So the teams if
Speaker 3: they want them to go develop with the Tucson Roadrunners
Speaker 3: next year, they don't have the fear of putting them
Speaker 3: on waivers and having them be claimed by any other
Speaker 3: team once you're out of your entry level contract or
Speaker 3: played a specific mannet games in the NHL, if you
Speaker 3: get put on waivers, anyone can claim you. That's what
Speaker 3: happened with Nikki Simone.
Speaker 2: You know, the New.
Speaker 3: Jersey Devils put him on waivers and Utah picked him up.
Speaker 3: So it just allows them to sign an NHL contract,
Speaker 3: play with the main club, but also if they need
Speaker 3: more time in the developmental League, they're able to go
Speaker 3: to Tucson or whatever their respective team is to have
Speaker 3: that time and their cost efficient all under a million
Speaker 3: dollars for Simashev and boot they both signed. I think
Speaker 3: it was eight hundred and fifty or the AAV was
Speaker 3: nine hundred and fifty thousand, but that was with the bonus.
Speaker 3: So if you think about guys like Logan Cooley and
Speaker 3: Dylan Gunter, we're on their entry level contracts still last year,
Speaker 3: two of the highest point getters, but since they're.
Speaker 2: Usually three year deals, if you.
Speaker 3: Sign your top prospects to entry level contracts, they produce
Speaker 3: for you at a low price until you eventually have
Speaker 3: to resign them. We saw the Gunter extension. You're going
Speaker 3: to see it Loagan Cooley extension. But yeah, those are
Speaker 3: the types of contracts that the Mammoth kind of got
Speaker 3: squared away this week, and Utah fan should be excited.
Speaker 3: It sounds like Skimashev and Boot will be at development camp,
Speaker 3: training camp and have a pretty good chance of making
Speaker 3: the roster this season.
Speaker 1: You referenced d Simone since you and I last spoke
Speaker 1: one year, eight hundred thousand dollars contract, So what are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this transaction.
Speaker 3: I love it. I'm really happy for Nick d Simone.
Speaker 3: Just from you know, a human being side, he was
Speaker 3: one of the best guys to talk to as a
Speaker 3: media member, super open, honest and also just you know
Speaker 3: kind doesn't have an ego to him, but that's the
Speaker 3: story of grit and determination. He hadn't played an NHL
Speaker 3: game when he got this season, yet when he got
Speaker 3: planed off of waivers in January from the New Jersey Devils,
Speaker 3: he was on an expiring contract. He came into Utah
Speaker 3: as a depth defenseman. He could have been sent down
Speaker 3: to the Tucson Roadrunners, but he beat out Yuso Valinaki
Speaker 3: and Vladislav Poletronics, who eventually got traded to the Pittsburgh
Speaker 3: Penguins for that seventh defensive role. You know, he beat
Speaker 3: out two guys who already had standing in Utah for
Speaker 3: that position, and then when Utah had injuries, he very
Speaker 3: seamlessly went into the lineup. And he's not flashy, he's
Speaker 3: not trying to do too much. He was consistent, he
Speaker 3: was predictable, he was responsible, and he's thirty, I believe,
Speaker 3: so it's not like he's inexperienced. And that's what Coajondre
Speaker 3: Turni always said, like Niki Simon knows how to take
Speaker 3: care of business at the rank away from the rank,
Speaker 3: so I think for them it's more of an insurance policy.
Speaker 3: He's probably not going to play every night. He might
Speaker 3: spend some time in the AHL, but it's good to
Speaker 3: have that defensive depth and have someone that you know,
Speaker 3: if you need to stop the bleeding because of injuries
Speaker 3: or just settle the back end down, you have him.
Speaker 3: It's only one year to cost efficient deal eight hundred
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, and I think it shows the intention Bill
Speaker 3: Armstrong has used when he brings these guys in. He
Speaker 3: got Nick d Simone for nothing. They didn't have to
Speaker 3: trade for him. His scouts and his staff did a
Speaker 3: good job watching the waiver, why or what players were
Speaker 3: on it, how they could fit in Utah were able
Speaker 3: to bring him over, and now they sign him for
Speaker 3: under a million. So I think that's just good work
Speaker 3: from the entire organization and good for him too, good
Speaker 3: for Nicki Simone to be able to stick around for
Speaker 3: another year.
Speaker 1: So it's a few weeks away from the NHL Draft,
Speaker 1: and in year one of their existence, the Utah Mammoth
Speaker 1: received luck that the Utah Jazz have now received in
Speaker 1: fifty years. So a lot of people excited to see
Speaker 1: what happens with this top four pick. So two part question.
Speaker 1: First part is if they hold on to four, who
Speaker 1: do you deem as best case scenario for them to draft?
Speaker 1: And the second part, I've got your Twitter pulled up.
Speaker 1: Is there a legitimate chance that they utilize this as
Speaker 1: a bargainship in the trade the kidnets something bigger?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I think the good news for Utah Mamits fans
Speaker 3: is you can't really go wrong if you're in the
Speaker 3: top five of the NHL Draft, especially this year, because
Speaker 3: a majority of the forwards in the top nine even
Speaker 3: are centers, and it's no secret most NHL teams are
Speaker 3: looking for a center, but Utah definitely is looking for
Speaker 3: a number two center to go behind Logan Cooley eventually.
Speaker 3: So that's a lot of the guys and I think
Speaker 3: someone that's been linked to Utah that fans like a
Speaker 3: lot and scouts say that kind of fits the Utah
Speaker 3: mold is Caleb de Noyer. Porter Martin is in a center,
Speaker 3: but he has that size, that scoring ability. He's a
Speaker 3: right wing, so he's in there. Anton Froundell is a center.
Speaker 3: He had a good season playing professional hockey in Sweden.
Speaker 3: Michael Misa obviously I think Utah would jump out, but
Speaker 3: it's likely he's going to go in the first three picks,
Speaker 3: so he's kind of outside of the picture, I would say.
Speaker 3: But the NHL Scouting Combine is this week where the
Speaker 3: players meet with every organization, say go through interviews and
Speaker 3: they all get physically tested. And it was reported that
Speaker 3: Michael Visa did go out to dinner with the Utah
Speaker 3: Mammoth front office, So that's something to think about as
Speaker 3: well as James Hagen's who was the consensus number one
Speaker 3: You know overall pick. A year ago, everyone he was
Speaker 3: super highly touted. Everyone kind of thought he would be
Speaker 3: for his overall and his stock kind of dropped this season.
Speaker 3: He was in the NCAA playing college bockey for Boston College.
Speaker 3: But he's still a legitimate, you know, number one, number
Speaker 3: two center. I actually got to talk to him a
Speaker 3: few weeks ago. There's a story about that in the Tribune.
Speaker 3: But he has a really good head on his shoulders,
Speaker 3: and all of his coaches were saying if they had
Speaker 3: even the number one pick in the NHL draft, they'd
Speaker 3: go with Hagen. So, like I said, a bunch of centers,
Speaker 3: I think the one thing they're probably going to lean
Speaker 3: more towards his size, just because Cooley Keller. You know
Speaker 3: a lot of guys in their top six are on
Speaker 3: the smaller side. So I would say Caleb Danioier or portomartone,
Speaker 3: but I don't know. I think Hagens could sneak in there,
Speaker 3: and like I said, you can't really go wrong. And
Speaker 3: then what was the second part of your question?
Speaker 1: Sorry is there?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Real quick, thank you for saying it, saying Caleb's last
Speaker 1: name for me, because I almost said it and I
Speaker 1: would have completely destroyed it. The second part of the
Speaker 1: question is the conversation about them using four as a
Speaker 1: chip in a trade. How viable is that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's definitely viable. And Bill Armsheng came
Speaker 3: out and he said that. You know, we talked to
Speaker 3: him ten minutes after they got the fourth overall pick,
Speaker 3: and he said, that's an avenue we're always going to
Speaker 3: look at. That's how they've gotten a lot of their
Speaker 3: bigger players. You know, there was a couple of draft
Speaker 3: picks and the services trade. It obviously wasn't fourth overall.
Speaker 3: That carries a lot more weight, but he's done it before.
Speaker 3: And I think the biggest difference here is the team's
Speaker 3: picking within the top five, top seven, top nine. Weren't
Speaker 3: seven points out of the playoffs last year. They weren't
Speaker 3: one to two players away from being a contending team.
Speaker 3: And Utah was supposed to pick fourteenth overall. They got
Speaker 3: really lucky winning that second sequence and jumping up ten points.
Speaker 3: So they're not in the to be rebuilding with a
Speaker 3: top pick anymore. They're coming out of a rebuild. So
Speaker 3: I could see Bill Armstrong knowing that it's probably going
Speaker 3: to take two to three years for even a fourth
Speaker 3: overall pick to fully pan out and have that NHL
Speaker 3: fluency that you would want, and maybe you bundle it.
Speaker 3: You bundle the fourth pick with someone who didn't pan
Speaker 3: out for Utah, like Mattias Micheli, or a couple prospects
Speaker 3: in Tucson or another roster player to get someone who
Speaker 3: is NHL tested, who is a top six scoring winger
Speaker 3: or center, and who can come in and have an
Speaker 3: immediate impact. Because Utah's and win now load, they want
Speaker 3: to make the playoffs next year, they want to keep pushing,
Speaker 3: and you could argue that trading it for someone that's
Speaker 3: been in the league for a few years that has
Speaker 3: established themselves would work. And there are a lot of
Speaker 3: teams in the draft order that would like to trade up.
Speaker 3: You look at the Bruins or the Buffalo Savers. So
Speaker 3: I definitely think it's in the realm of possibility. But
Speaker 3: I also think it'll have to be the perfect deal.
Speaker 3: I don't think Bill Armstrong is going to let go
Speaker 3: of that pick just to get someone that might work
Speaker 3: in the top six, so it'll have to be a
Speaker 3: really good fit. But yeah, one hundred percent, I don't
Speaker 3: think anyone should rule that out until that draft pick
Speaker 3: has a Utah amate jersey on after they call his name.
Speaker 1: Let me throw this scenario at you, and maybe there's
Speaker 1: nothing here. But Neil Smith joined us yesterday and he
Speaker 1: brought up the Hagen's kid, the James Hagen's kid, because
Speaker 1: he's a strong Islanders from Long Island. And so Neil
Speaker 1: floated out the potential of the Islanders taking the hometown
Speaker 1: kid at one. Uh and a lot of what I've read,
Speaker 1: Bell and you tell me this. Matthew Schaffer kid is
Speaker 1: thought to be among the best prospects, and some mocks
Speaker 1: have him at one, but he is a defenceman. If
Speaker 1: Shaffer's there at four, if the Islanders go Hagan's one,
Speaker 1: then mesa two and maybe it's poor or three. If
Speaker 1: Shaffer's there at four, does the Utahey club look at him?
Speaker 3: I don't think so. One. I think there's I mean,
Speaker 3: who knows, because the draft board changes in a second
Speaker 3: based on a teen's pick. I think there's close to
Speaker 3: a zero percent chance that Matthew shay For drops to three,
Speaker 3: let alone four. But I also think Utah's pretty set
Speaker 3: defensively for now. I mean their top six defensemen, they
Speaker 3: all have locked up for the next at least one
Speaker 3: to three years. They extended Ian Cole, they extended Olimada obviously,
Speaker 3: John Marino, Sergichev, Jersey they extended last year. Michael Kestering's
Speaker 3: still there. And then in Tucson too, they have Maverick Lamrude,
Speaker 3: they have Art and Duda, they have Dmitriy Simaschev who's
Speaker 3: coming in. Is going to fight for a top four
Speaker 3: defensive position. So I don't think that's their need. You know,
Speaker 3: everyone says you go for the best player available, and
Speaker 3: probably at that time, if he was available, Schaeffer would
Speaker 3: be the best one. But I think Utah desperately needs
Speaker 3: a top four more than it needs a defenceman. And
Speaker 3: it's interesting. Yeah, I think the hometown thing definitely probably
Speaker 3: plays in for Hagens because he wants to be an Islander,
Speaker 3: and I think that's something teams look for. They want
Speaker 3: their draft pick to be excited to play for their organization.
Speaker 3: But I don't know if it's enough to you know, away,
Speaker 3: probably a generational defenseman like Schaeffer.
Speaker 1: All right, Bell, before I say you lose, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tie a little NBA topic into the conversation nowhere. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna ask you about the NBA, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: draw a little parallel. I'm gonna draw a little parallel
Speaker 1: to see if there's anything here, because you know, as
Speaker 1: we watch the NBA playoffs and the finals are about
Speaker 1: to start tonight, you watch a team like Oklahoma City,
Speaker 1: who resides in the West, where the Jazz reside, and
Speaker 1: you realize just how far away the Jazz are from
Speaker 1: being close to the top teams in the NBA. As
Speaker 1: you watch the Stanley Cup Final, and as you watch
Speaker 1: teams like Florida and Edmonton, and you try to draw
Speaker 1: some sort of parallel between where the Utah well, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I've been doing so well the Utah Mammoth
Speaker 1: are now and you know, the top teams in the league.
Speaker 1: Do you see a sizeable gap or do you see,
Speaker 1: you know, a team that's not too far away from
Speaker 1: throwing punches with the best teams in pro hockey.
Speaker 3: Sizable, for sure, I think sizable. But it was actually funny,
Speaker 3: you tell you NBA. I had Andy Larson, the famous
Speaker 3: Andy Larson, on the podcast they that'll come out tomorrow,
Speaker 3: and we actually talk about this kind of comparing the
Speaker 3: NHL and NBA and where the Jazz and Mammoth are respectively.
Speaker 3: But we talked about and we said, there's a really
Speaker 3: big difference between a team and the NHL that makes
Speaker 3: the first round and it's great to make the playoffs,
Speaker 3: great to compete in the first round, but once you
Speaker 3: get past then, and obviously get past the second round,
Speaker 3: those are the big dogs. And I think you even
Speaker 3: saw it in the second round, and the fact that
Speaker 3: the Colorado Avalanche were eliminated in the first round like
Speaker 3: that shows the type of competition and I think Utah's
Speaker 3: on its way. I don't think they are going to
Speaker 3: be able to size up to someone like the Florida
Speaker 3: Panthers or the Edmonton Oilers in a playoff series in
Speaker 3: the next two years, but I don't think it's as
Speaker 3: far away as the Jazz. But yeah, watching the playoffs
Speaker 3: it's hard to watch as players and management, I'm sure,
Speaker 3: because you want to be in it. But it's also
Speaker 3: very informative because you see what works and what's the
Speaker 3: build up of these teams to make it to the finals.
Speaker 3: And I think there's a lot of whole for Utah
Speaker 3: in respect to that, in terms of how Edmonton and
Speaker 3: Florida looks so definitely a sizeable gap. But you look
Speaker 3: at the entire leag there's a sizeable gap between Edmonton
Speaker 3: and a majority of teams in the NHL, you know.
Speaker 3: So I don't think it's it's not that big of
Speaker 3: a downfall. But no, I don't think they could hold
Speaker 3: up against those teams yet. I do think it'll happen
Speaker 3: sooner rather than later, though.
Speaker 1: Bell, it is not the famous Andy Larson at most,
Speaker 1: it is the infamous Andy Larson that we all tolerate.
Speaker 1: That's that's what you're allowed to use on the show. Okay,
Speaker 1: my bude, Yeah, I tease. That's hea. Hey, thanks so
Speaker 1: much for the time, great stuff as always, and have
Speaker 1: a great week.
Speaker 2: Okay you too, Thanks all right.
