Speaker 2: Live back once again. Jesse Severe of Fan Tracked, Victor

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,399
Nuno of Ally's Prospects. Victor is not here today because

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,719
we continue to go through the February from heck where

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,320
Victor and myself are rarely in the same place at

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,280
the same time, possibly because we are Bruce, Wayne and Batman.

11
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:46,479
Who can say. What I can say is that today

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,719
we do have a very cool guy who's been on

13
00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:50,840
this show before. You hear us talk about him a lot,

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,039
and he is going to help us out with talking

15
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:56,359
a little bit of fantasy hockey. Help me out specifically

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,560
as we get through these dul drums coming back from

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,079
the four Nations and back into the swing of playoff

18
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:06,239
or near playoff action for all of you folks out

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,959
there as well as in EAHL trade deadline and so

20
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:13,239
you can be around to have that buzz. And I've

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,640
seen several people come and ask this week to participate

22
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:19,879
in the Fantasy Hockey Life discord. All you have to

23
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:22,239
do to get in there is email is Fantasyhockeylife at

24
00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:25,079
gmail dot com. That's a good way to get the link.

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,760
Then that just lets you hop in the discord near

26
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:31,560
down a discord. It's a closed loop kind of social network,

27
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:35,480
but it's a very good functioning one in frankly in

28
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:40,040
the future anyway. That is one thing for you to know.

29
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,560
The other is that there is a Patreon Patreon dot

30
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:45,760
com slash Fantasy Hockey Life. Victor's got all kinds of

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,760
cool things going up there, including advanced player ranks that

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,599

00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:00,000
Dynasty series of leagues, the tidy as we call them.

00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,760
We'll hear talk about this episode, and yeah, you should

full on roster doctor as they say, which is a

39
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:15,560
time where you set down for I don't know half

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,080
an hour, sit with Victor and go over a streaming

what to do with your team. You can have that

43
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,240
kind of individualized attention. So that is going to do

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,240
it for our intro. We're going to take a break

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,879
and you're going to hear the special guests I have

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:42,840
brought on for your entertainment today. I would like to

47
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:45,800
welcome today one of the men who has been keeping

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,000
the tidy leagues rulling along all year. He does a

49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
ton of work in there, and he's a very intelligent

50
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,599
manager in and of himself. I know because he's my competition.

51
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:58,800
He has been. He is my competition. It's Tim.

52
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: How you doing today, Hey, Jesse. It's good to be

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,280
on with you. I'm doing fantastic, looking forward to a

54
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,439
fun hour of talking some fantasy hockey with you.

55
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:10,479
Speaker 2: No, yeah, Tim, you're you're all up in there. You

56
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,479
say you got about twenty fantasy leagues right now? Is

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,199
that accurate?

58
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,879
Speaker 3: Twenty different leagues of all shapes and sizes and formats

59
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:19,840
keeps me busy in my spare time.

60
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: And how many of those are dynasty? Tim? I got to.

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: Ask, Oh goodness, so at least fifteen?

62
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: Wow?

63
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,719
Speaker 3: Wow? Yes, already we're from twelve team to thirty two

64
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,599
team and everything in between.

65
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: A man of our own heart here on Fantasy Hockey Life.

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,960
So you are up on the player pool, you were

67
00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:42,520
up on all the guys you have to think about

68
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:46,080
to be successful in fantasy hockey. And I know we

69
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,680
talked about maybe some ideas of what to talk about

70
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,840
this morning, or some ideas you had, and I know

71
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,439
the first that came up, and I think you maybe

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,199
were even talking to some of our other folks in

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,080
the Fantasy Hockey Life discord about second half performers, guys

74
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,599
who've had a big jump from since January first. So, Tim,

75
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:07,639
why don't we talk about a couple of those guys,

76
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:10,400
the guys who've come up in the second half.

77
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:13,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, you almost want to call it the Fiala bump.

78
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,639
Kevin Fiala is renowned for a second half as a

79
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:21,199
second half performer. So we thought, why don't we look

80
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,199
at who's been a little bit hotter the second half

81
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,399
the season. So the first one, the first name I

82
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:29,720
want to bring up is he's a top ten player

83
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:32,600
in the league, so it probably shouldn't surprise anyone, but

84
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,240
given his situation on his club team, it's a unique

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,680
maybe not a unique, but it's a standout performance. Is

86
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:43,720
David Pasternak. David Pasternak is up about zero point eight

87
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:48,360
points per game since January one. His IPP is the

88
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,600
highest amongst the top fifty point getters on the season

89
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,040
outside of Travis Connectney. I really think that if Boston

90
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,920
does somehow sneak into the playoffs, it's all on David

91
00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:03,160
Pasternak's shoulders. I really like him for Heart Trophy consideration

92
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,279
this year. Second guy that I would like to talk

93
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:10,680
about is Philip Forsburg. Philip Forsburgh's kind of on a

94
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:17,199
team this year that maybe is underperforming somewhat, but Philip forber,

95
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,680
Forsburg continues to push a point a game, beat the

96
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,399
number one force on that team. He's probably the most

97
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:27,360
consistent performer they've had. One of the things about Philip

98
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,160
Forsburg is when the past he's had a little bit

99
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:32,360
of injury troubles, but for the last two years he

100
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:35,879
hasn't missed a game. So Philip Forsburg's up about point

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,079
seven points per game since January one. If I'm looking

102
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:43,279
for a player to help me with a playoff push,

103
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,079
He's definitely one that I might target.

104
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that Philip Borsburg is an interesting character anyway, That

105
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,720
mustache man, that mustach that probably explains like at least

106
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:56,759
a point two points per game, right.

107
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: There, Nashville style.

108
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,319
Speaker 2: Oh, and I my guy George Kittle, the forty nine

109
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:04,600
ers tight end who went to the University of Iowa,

110
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,360
which is my alma manor is buddies with him. I

111
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,439
don't quite understand that there's I probably should understand that.

112
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:12,839
I'm sure that's been like a halftime segment somewhere or

113
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,040
an intermission type segment. But yeah, Forestburgh's his Q ratio

114
00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:20,360
has come way up. I feel like in his mid

115
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:22,800
to late career. I tend to try to block him

116
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,079
out in my mind because of the Washington Capitals trading

117
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,519
him as a young player. Martin, Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right. Yeah.

118
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,439
So those are definitely two guys, big name guys I think,

119
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,160
who've been in higher rounds over the years. But we

120
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,360
do not want to miss the big jumps just because

121
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,439
they are familiar names. But the third guy, I don't know.

122
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:47,279
Tim you're up there in Ontario? Is this a Toronto

123
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,879
tax situation or who's the other big jumper?

124
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,319
Speaker 3: There might be a little bit of bias on my

125
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,199
part on this one. No, Matthew and I since Christmas

126
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,240
has really I see him play most nights, and it's

127
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,800
almost like since he came back from injury earlier in

128
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,240
the year, he's really stepped up. Of course, he's got

129
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:07,399
prime deployment playing with Matthews and Marners, but he's up

130
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:10,839
about point six points per game since Jan one. When

131
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,000
I looked at his time on ice from last year

132
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,399
to this year, he's up almost five minutes a game.

133
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,319
So that playing with those type of linemates and then

134
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:21,360
getting that type of deployment, he's bound to hopefully his

135
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,839
starts to improve. He is definitely he is on a

136
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:27,480
thirty gold pace this year. But if you'd ask me

137
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:31,279
last year where I thought his ceiling might be, that's

138
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:33,519
starting to hit it now. I wonder where this ceiling

139
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,560
will be for him.

140
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you certainly have to appreciate that. And just because

141
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:43,720
just because there may be a Toronto tax on a

142
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:46,040
guy that is he might gain a little bit of

143
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,480
extra value or cost a little lecture in trade, we

144
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:50,199
don't want to be blinded to the fact that you

145
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:54,199
do have a real breakout. Looking here, how can a

146
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,120
non Big four forward in Toronto get this kind of juice? Though?

147
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:02,519
How high can one of these guys get? What do

148
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,959
you see as the possibility for nights in that scenario.

149
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: So it's interesting the comparison I think of with that.

150
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:12,800
Although his true breakout happened after he left Toronto, is

151
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:16,360
Zach Kymond And I often wonder was Zach Kyman if

152
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,439
he'd at least had resigned him when he signed with

153
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:23,160
the Oilers, would he have experienced the same breakout playing

154
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:26,920
alongside Matthews as opposed to Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid is

155
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:30,560
the bar, right, Maybe there's a eighty point season in

156
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,600
there for Matthew and I. Matthew and I's is doing

157
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,039
it at a lot younger age in my minds, maybe

158
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,879
that's the ceiling.

159
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be quite a nice ceiling. We could take that. Yeah,

160
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,600
zach Kymon was one. Yeah. I guess if I flashback

161
00:08:44,639 --> 00:08:48,840
in time, Zach Kymon is exactly the comp because I

162
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,720
was like, Ah, come on, Zach Kymon, that's fine. Everybody's

163
00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:53,840
talking about him because he's in Toronto, but when he

164
00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:55,480
goes to another team, he's not going to be all that.

165
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,159
And then of course he was all that. So we're

166
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:01,639
gonna talk about some I can half performers and how

167
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,559
much we're expecting for the stretch run. Who is going

168
00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:07,600
to keep it up? And yeah, let's start. We talked

169
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,639
about Pasternak here, so what are you exactly expecting for

170
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,320
the this to the end of the year.

171
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,759
Speaker 3: I think Pastornach keeps it up. Again, he's a thoroughbrett.

172
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:19,120
He's a top ten player in the league. But what

173
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,519
I think is cool about this year is he's doing

174
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,399
it and even last year, he's doing it without quite

175
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,879
the supporting cast that he's had in the past years.

176
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,600
So he's on at one point seven point per game pace.

177
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,000
That's that's pretty heavy stuff. But I actually think that

178
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,799
if anyone can maintain that, it's David Pasternak.

179
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: Another Yeah, for sure, no post, he's always right up there.

180
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,440
So yeah, hopefully that is something he's able to establish

181
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,879
even if Boston drops out of it. Nikita kucher Off

182
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,000
is another guy who we're looking at here. But what

183
00:09:56,039 --> 00:09:59,399
do you see for Couch's season conclusion.

184
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: It's interesting with any Tampa player right because they're not

185
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,759
I think as of today, they're still in the first

186
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:07,360
wild card and they got a little bit of a

187
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,480
lead on the second wild card, but they're not home

188
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:13,679
and cooled yet. Kucharov's going to have to continue playing

189
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,879
until the end of the season, hopefully. But here's another guy.

190
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,559
He's probably a top five player in the league. The

191
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,759
guy has sublime skill and he's surrounded by some pretty

192
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:28,720
good talent. With Tampa Bay. Again, he's around the one

193
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,159
point six point per game. Last year he had a

194
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,039
great year. He was almost two points per game. So

195
00:10:34,279 --> 00:10:36,559
I don't think that's out of the realm for him

196
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,919
going into the going into the stretch drive.

197
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:42,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And another of the top guys, Leon

198
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:43,559
dry Sidle.

199
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: It's funny when we look at when we look at

200
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,320
all these players, we're showing a slight decline from January

201
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,279
first to current day. But these guys play at such

202
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,360
a level. It's almost just the abbs and flows of

203
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,759
the season. The one thing I always respect about Leon

204
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,559
Sidle is the way he protects the puck on the ice.

205
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,240
When you watch him battle in the corners and he

206
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,120
comes out with a puck nine point nine times out

207
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,039
of ten. He's just an incredible hockey player. You can

208
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,559
play him with McDavid, you can split them up, and

209
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,759
Leon Dreysidele continues to produce. I don't think there's any

210
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,960
reason why he's going to stumble down the stretch drive.

211
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,480
If you continue to maintain that one and a half

212
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:28,240
one point six point per game pace, and Edmonton will

213
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:30,519
be fun to watch them as they move towards the

214
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,399
playoff season.

215
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: Now, next up a guy who I think was the

216
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,200
MVP of the Four Nations. I don't know. I stopped

217
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,120
watching after the first couple of days. I don't know

218
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:41,080
how it ended or anything like that. Don't spoil it

219
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,399
for me, but what do you think of a Nathan

220
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,399
McKinnon's conclusion?

221
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 3: Nathan McKinnon. Again, these are some softballs we're talking about,

222
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,399
but Nathan McKinnon's and who world talent. It was pretty

223
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:55,639
cool to watch him and Sydney Crosby at the Four Nations.

224
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,879
He's going to come back to a Colorado team. He's

225
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:03,840
with Martin Neekash right now and knee Cash is He's

226
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:07,279
going to continue his pace playing alongside Nathan McKinnon. He

227
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,120
makes everybody on his team better. So again, here's another

228
00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:14,879
guy that a little bit under his point pace from

229
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,120
last year, But there's no reason to think that there's

230
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:21,120
He's just going to keep piling up points.

231
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again Philip Orsburgh comes up, what are you

232
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:27,919
seeing for him going forward.

233
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: I think he's I think he's one of the most

234
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,320
underrated players in my mind in the NHL. From a

235
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,480
fantasy perspective, Philip Forsburg is actually a very valuable asset

236
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:42,559
in both points and categories leagues because he does he

237
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,200
gets the shots, he gets the power play, does get

238
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,879
a decent amount of hits. Again, He's going to be

239
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:53,000
a guy that that that Nashville is going to count

240
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,720
on as they go forward. He's going to be He's

241
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:57,840
going to be the straw that stirs their drink. And

242
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,960
if if some of the guys, some of the talent

243
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,000
down in Nashville can pull it together down the stretch drive,

244
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,360
maybe they can set themselves up for a better season

245
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,000
next year.

246
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,639
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. All right, now, let's talk about some

247
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,360
of these guys. There's a couple guys I know that

248
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,559
came up a couple of times in our discussions here

249
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,159
who could see some scoring increases in the second half.

250
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:23,399
And the first place we're headed is to Columbus. So

251
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,559
tell me about a guy in Columbus you think could

252
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,679
see a big uptick.

253
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 3: So it's funny, Hey, So Columbus had some injury trouble

254
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,639
this year, Marchenko, Chinnikov, Boon Jenner hasn't played it. Actually,

255
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,039
I think he played his first game last night. With

256
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:41,000
a team that stocked with such good young talent, it

257
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,879
definitely gives opportunity to some of the younger guys, but

258
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,000
also it gave some opportunity for an old dog, for

259
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,320
a guy again an ex Toronto maple Leaf that I

260
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:55,759
got a lot of time for James Van Riemsdyke, and

261
00:13:55,879 --> 00:13:59,240
that's there might be some of our listeners where they

262
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:03,039
go butt jan One. His point per game pace is

263
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,919
up a little over half. He definitely was getting a

264
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,879
little bit better deployment with those injuries, although when you

265
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:15,159
look at his time on ice, he had spurts during

266
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,639
those injuries where he would get more time and then

267
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,480
other games where he get less time. But he's an

268
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:22,840
old hand who knows what he's doing around the net,

269
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,559
and so's we had an uptake in production. Do I

270
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,559
think that will continue for him? Probably not, But you

271
00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:33,240
got these guys come back from Marchenko came back last night,

272
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:36,919
so did Boone Jenner, so that will lead into his opportunity.

273
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,159
But good for JVR. He's one of those old school

274
00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:44,559
guys who you want to see have a good end

275
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,279
to their careers because he's he's been a warrior all

276
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,039
these years.

277
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is the type of guy who

278
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,759
we talked We've talked about some of these cell high

279
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,480
type guys, and of course it's easy to say that

280
00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:58,720
a JVR, if he catches fire right now, this would

281
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,039
be the time to sell on it, because we you

282
00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:02,559
know it's not gonna last forever. But if you did

283
00:15:02,799 --> 00:15:05,480
have him in like our tidy league, and we're trying

284
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:07,840
to sell high on him to a team that was

285
00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:10,240
making a run, what do you think would be a

286
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,919
vaguely fair return for him.

287
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,159
Speaker 3: It's a I think this is a stretch a bit,

288
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:19,200
but even even a high second round, a third round pick,

289
00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:22,519
maybe a low level prospect. I don't think there's a

290
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:25,360
ton of value left in JVR, But you never know,

291
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:29,320
depending on Columbus's schedule in your playoff format, maybe he's

292
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,519
a guy you might be interested in. Maybe there's some

293
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,639
off days where you can deploy him and he can

294
00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:36,279
help your team out in the stretch run.

295
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. That it's always difficult in a dynasty league to

296
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,159
convince somebody to trade for somebody who they have seen

297
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,840
on the waiver wire for months in potentially years and

298
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:52,879
just never wanted to pick up Oh no, really you're

299
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:54,360
gonna pick him up, And then a month later you

300
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,919
think you can flup him to me. But sometimes that's

301
00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:00,600
how it works when deployment changes. And the other guy

302
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:05,240
who you were talking about here is a player who

303
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:09,000
really isn't up and comer. We knew about Adam Fantilly before,

304
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,120
and certainly we're looking forward to him breaking out, but

305
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:15,759
you're calling him out here as somebody to really look

306
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:18,559
at right now. What's your take on Adam Pantilly?

307
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:22,279
Speaker 3: Oh, man, Adam Fantilly so and I'm a bit biased.

308
00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:25,799
I do have a couple of shares in Pantilly. He's

309
00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:30,559
another former Team Canada World junior Darling, I'll call it.

310
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,600
He's spent biding his time in Columbus. With Jenner being

311
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,840
injured and then Marchenko went out, Fantilli got the chance

312
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,759
to have a sustained opportunity in line one power play one,

313
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,240
and he's responded. Since the injuries. He's up half a

314
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:49,200
point a game, which gets them in the land of

315
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,240
point per game, which is where we hope he would

316
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:56,240
get to. I'm excited about what some unfortunate that he

317
00:16:56,279 --> 00:16:59,360
had to get the opportunity at someone else's peril. But

318
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:03,039
I'm excited about this because I hope he he maintains

319
00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:05,039
that deployment, because I think he's shown now that he

320
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:08,799
can handle it. And Columbus is an interesting team and

321
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,200
I watched them closely. They've got a lot of young talent.

322
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,559
Then Mattichuk scored last night. He's going to be He's

323
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:20,480
going to be a stud on d Zacharnsky is having

324
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,559
in my mind, a Noris caliber year, and I think,

325
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:31,160
if I'm not mistaken, was he voted to four Nations MVP?

326
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,599
I don't remember, Maybe it was McKinnon, but oh Morensky

327
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,720
had a great four Nations tournament.

328
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: Okay, and maybe mckinwood just the leading score in any event. Yeah,

329
00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:44,680
that's awesome, Yeah, Fantilly. You love it when you see

330
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,759
these guys start to break out, And certainly Columbus is

331
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:49,200
just a whole lot better than anybody could have reasonably

332
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,880
expected them to be this year. The other guy or

333
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,839
the next guy to talk about Marco Casper in Detroit

334
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,920
and from your mouth the God's ear, because I got

335
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,359
him in at least one of my leagues where I

336
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,359
was hoping he would be able to produce something for me.

337
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,839
But what are your thoughts here? I know recently I

338
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,240
think we were skeptical about Casper and this show.

339
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 3: I think your skepticism is somewhat warranted, if memory serves

340
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:13,000
me correct. Marco Casper was a bit of a reach

341
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:17,400
by Detroit when he was drafted, but he's when I

342
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,039
went back and looked at his stats, it's interesting because

343
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:23,319
he's never really maintained a point per game pace at

344
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,359
any level. But also he was playing in the SHL

345
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,599
at a very young age, so I think he had

346
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,720
one year where he played a reasonable amount of games

347
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,359
in the J twenty. What's point per game there? But

348
00:18:35,519 --> 00:18:38,519
outside of that, if you look at his stats, he's

349
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,640
never really been a point per game, but he's always

350
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,000
seemed to play an age level up or two ages up,

351
00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:49,079
so that that might be what we're seeing Marco Casper. I,

352
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,279
in my head, my mind was always his ceiling was

353
00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:58,359
always a third line center, power play, penalty kill. Maybe

354
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,720
give you a fifty to sixty point stops. That's not

355
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,720
an incredibly high see it's not nothing. But since he's

356
00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:08,960
been elevated to play with Dylan Larkin. He's seen an

357
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,359
uptick a half a point per game. Is this where

358
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,680
his new standard is? It's a small sample size, all

359
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,160
things being equal, his time on ice is up four

360
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,720
or five minutes a game. It remains to be seen.

361
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:23,839
But maybe this is where he lands.

362
00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be very cool. Are there really stretches

363
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,400
with Steve Eiserman's draft picks anymore? Who can say, let's

364
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,480
move down to Dallas and two of the big young

365
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,079
names on that team who are making their moves, making

366
00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:43,839
their jumps. Why Johnston Jason Robertson, Why it is on

367
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,279
the way up. Robertson seems to be bouncing back from

368
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,880
just a rough first half score wise. And what about

369
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,759
Logan steak Obenan? Why aren't we talking more about Logan Steakhoben?

370
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,039
Tell me Tim, tell me about these young Dallas forwards.

371
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,559
Speaker 3: Jim nil is a master, isn't he. He's had a

372
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,440
perfect I feel like it's the perfect succession plan in Dallas,

373
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,119
guys like Joe Pavluski retiring and then he's got these

374
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,400
young kids ready to step in. Wyatt Johnson had a

375
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,119
slow start before Christmas, seemed to kind of pick it

376
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,519
up the guy is a talented guy. He's wearing the

377
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:21,160
A in Dallas for I believe he's twenty one, So

378
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:24,480
he's a young guy assuming a leadership role in that team.

379
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:26,880
And that team is deep from line one to four,

380
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,440
defense one to defense six. Jason Robertson, same kind of deal.

381
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,759
Maybe a bit of a slow start by his standard.

382
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,680
I'm starting to wonder about Jason Robertson and if that

383
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,559
one hundred point season was his kind of anomaly and

384
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,680
he's going to settle into more of an eighty eighty

385
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,599
five point guy, seventy five to eighty five type thing.

386
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:50,240
But he's starting to rediscover his touch this year, which

387
00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:53,599
is good for Dallas considering we're seasons. What's the season

388
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,640
is about three quarters away done? Maybe maybe not quite,

389
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,119
but they're picking it up at the right time. Logan

390
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,920
Stankovin If you think about Logan Stankoven's year last year,

391
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,839
he bounced up and down between the farm team and

392
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,799
Dallas and then settled into a role in the second

393
00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:12,200
half the year. If you look at his stats just

394
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,839
from a point per game last year to this year,

395
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,880
it almost looks like he took it. He's taken a

396
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,400
small step back I think that's pretty normal when he

397
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,920
have a young player on the development curve. I don't

398
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,039
get to see Dallas a Ton, but is Logan Stankoven

399
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,960
again another Team Canada World junior sweetheart? In my books,

400
00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:36,960
that guy plays with heart. I actually see him his

401
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:39,599
ceiling as close to a point per game passed in

402
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,119
the mold of Brad Marshall, maybe without the licking, but

403
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,880
I think that he has that type of game in him.

404
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,400
He's all heart and he has been since his junior years.

405
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,279
His shooting percentage the one stat that really stood out

406
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:55,680
to me. A shooting percentage is way down this year,

407
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,799
but his time and iice is up. So sometimes those

408
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,839
that's just bad luck. But he seems to be a

409
00:22:01,839 --> 00:22:04,400
guy who's still kind of learning how to be a pro.

410
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,920
To Peter de Bower's credit, he keeps putting him out there.

411
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,440
It keeps making sure that Logan stank Covin has a

412
00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:15,400
role within the team. I often think about young players

413
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,079
in that first kind of one to three years in

414
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,079
their development, and I always think about Nathan McKinnon kind

415
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:24,799
of had a decent rookie year and then he struggled

416
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:26,720
to find it for a couple of years and that

417
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:29,960
will always be my biggest regret. I remember trading in

418
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:33,519
one league, trading Nathan McKinnon after year three. I couldn't

419
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:36,240
tell you what I got for it way back then,

420
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,839
but then the very next year he went off. So

421
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,400
sometimes having a little patience with some of these young

422
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,039
players that you can be rewarded, And I think that

423
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,400
might be Logan Stankovin's case. He used to be the

424
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,279
prime years for a player was somewhere in the twenty

425
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,400
six twenty seven year range, so they would put in seven, eight,

426
00:22:55,559 --> 00:22:58,519
nine years before you really saw their ceiling come out.

427
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,519
But with the way play are conditioned these days and

428
00:23:01,559 --> 00:23:03,680
the training that they get at such a young age,

429
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,920
it's more and more it's becoming a young person's game

430
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:10,279
and you're seeing these breakouts happen a little bit earlier.

431
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:12,599
But there are still there's still a good number of

432
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,920
players that need that time before they before they really

433
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,680
discover their ceilings in the in the world's best league.

434
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, it does take some time, and yeah,

435
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,839
we'll see if we just need to be happy with

436
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,240
the stank Oven we have or believe in the stank

437
00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:31,279
Oven to come. And let's talk about some guys who

438
00:23:31,599 --> 00:23:34,960
are going to have some impact from trade injury type things.

439
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,720
You talked about the Columbus injuries that have freed up

440
00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:44,319
Fantilly and van Reesmike for us. What about additionally from there,

441
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,000
are there are other things that we could see coming

442
00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:49,480
out of the whole Columbus situation, some untapped fantasy value.

443
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:53,079
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Yeah, I think I think they have players.

444
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,720
They still got Caden Lindstrom down there. He hasn't played

445
00:23:56,759 --> 00:23:59,680
yet this year, top five pick. That's a talent. I

446
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,119
have him in a categories league. I'm excited. Hopefully he

447
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,960
recovers and but his injuries are just a blip in

448
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,200
his time in a categories league. There's a guy that

449
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,599
could be a real beast for you. I think with

450
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,319
some of the injuries, with just opportunity, some of those

451
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,480
young players in Columbus, they could be a force in

452
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:22,119
a year or two. The one that I'm interested in

453
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,079
watching as well is Luku. I'm gonna get this name wrong,

454
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,079
Luca bell Del Bellows.

455
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: Are you telling me there's not one condo available in

456
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:31,440
all of Del Boca Vista.

457
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a guy. He was drafted, I believe in

458
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,480
the second round and just has some of the things

459
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,039
where I'm looking at prospects, I'm really and I use

460
00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:46,079
the ranking app quite frequently. I do find the pnhl

461
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,119
E model useful, and sometimes when I'm looking at prospects,

462
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,599
I'm really just looking for that pnhl E to increase

463
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,839
incrementally each year. And he's a player with that type

464
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,279
of curve, and he just seems to He puts in

465
00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:04,039
a bit of time at each new level and eventually

466
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,640
he becomes successful. And he's a guy who just seems

467
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,559
to produce no matter what the level is. So I'm

468
00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:14,240
watching him as a bit of a lower drafted person

469
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,359
to see where he might land. I definitely have a

470
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,640
couple of stocks in Luca, that's for.

471
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,599
Speaker 2: Sure, tremendous and of course the great We talked about

472
00:25:23,599 --> 00:25:26,480
this trade a couple of weeks ago, the Farrabee Frost

473
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:31,839
going from Philly to Calgary for Kuzmenko and Pelota coming back.

474
00:25:32,279 --> 00:25:34,480
What do you make of the impact of that as

475
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:36,559
you've been looking at this for Fantasy Dynasty.

476
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: Oh man, I've been back and forth on this trade.

477
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,720
I know the initial reaction from the public was Calgary

478
00:25:43,799 --> 00:25:46,240
had won the trade. I do have a couple of

479
00:25:46,279 --> 00:25:52,519
stalks of Frost and Ferraby, I gotta be honest, I'm

480
00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:56,039
underwhelmed by them. So I actually think this trade might

481
00:25:56,079 --> 00:25:59,480
be a little bit closer than what people initially thought.

482
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,519
I think the wild card in this trade really is

483
00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:07,200
Andre Kuzmenko. When I look at Kuzmenko's stats, Kuzmenko's had

484
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,720
two periods in his NHL career where he's been close

485
00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:14,400
to the point per game. The first one came I

486
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,880
believe it was in twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three.

487
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,720
That was the year Vancouver had that great breakout Elias

488
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:23,799
Petterson had his one hundred point season. The stat that

489
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,480
sticks out to me for Kuzmenko is shooting percentage. So

490
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:32,000
in those two periods of time where he was successful,

491
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,559
the other period being when he had believe he was

492
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:38,240
first trade at Calgary his first thirty games, his shooting

493
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,440
percentage was close to thirty percent in both those For

494
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:44,720
both those periods, he doesn't actually shoot a lot for

495
00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:48,160
a score. It'll be interesting to see how that works out.

496
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,480
So far, he's got two points in two games for

497
00:26:50,519 --> 00:26:53,200
the Flyers. Maybe playing with Mitchkoff, there might be some

498
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:55,880
chemistry there that allows him to maintain that a little

499
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:01,200
bit more consistently. Frost, I think he honestly, I think

500
00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:03,559
we may have seen his ceiling and this is what

501
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,319
he is, and and for me that he'd be a

502
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,359
solid third line center on a good team. Same thing

503
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,119
with Ferrabie. So that kind of gets me to what

504
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,279
is Peltier. Peltier had a little bit of trouble breaking

505
00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:20,680
into the league with Calgary, had some time up and

506
00:27:20,759 --> 00:27:24,039
down between the AHL and the NHL. I think he

507
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,640
is the person that could tip this trade in either directions.

508
00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:31,279
I see Peltier maybe as a good third liner, someone

509
00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:35,240
who could probably play PK one power play two. He

510
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:39,319
does have some talent. He works hard, very enthusiastic, So

511
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,240
if he can achieve a bit of a ceiling that

512
00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:44,880
maybe has him slot in into line too, he might

513
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,200
be actually the player that kind of tips this trade

514
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,440
in Philadelphia's favor.

515
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 2: Nice. Nice, All right, We've got more to come with Tim,

516
00:27:54,519 --> 00:27:56,359
but we're going to take a brief break, come back

517
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:09,759
and talk some more back with Tim Comish of our

518
00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:13,279
Tidy Leagues co Commish, and we're getting some of Tim's

519
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,119
takes on some of the things that have been happening here.

520
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:18,599
Most recently to help you make your decisions for the

521
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,279
stretch run in the Dynasty season. And Tim, you've had

522
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:25,000
a chance now to give a take on a couple

523
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:26,960
of the trades. We've talked about them in the past,

524
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,920
but you've got some great new insights on them too,

525
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,160
And of course the big one. If we're talk trades,

526
00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:36,759
we got to talk about that big old cal Colorado

527
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,599
Carolina trade. You've already talked about Martin Nachas moving on,

528
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,359
but Randon Hall for N's Drury, tell us what in

529
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,119
terms of Dynasty impacts.

530
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:50,119
Speaker 3: Here, this is such a polarizing trade. First of all,

531
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,559
it came out of the blue or seem too. But

532
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,359
then you had a bit of a back and forth

533
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,599
between Brian McFarland and Miko Rannon where McFarland said, we're

534
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,400
not going to to be able to sign him for

535
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,920
the money that that Miko wants, and then Renton's parties

536
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,799
came back out and said, no, we were open to negotiating.

537
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,599
But this trade, really it was a Friday night, is

538
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,119
one of those kind of trades that was got everyone's attention,

539
00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:17,119
and it's a big and Miko rant and what are

540
00:29:17,119 --> 00:29:20,119
you gonna say about that guy. It will be interesting

541
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,160
how Carolina treats this going into the trade deadline, if

542
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,799
they sensed that they can't sign Miko Rent and could

543
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:30,119
he be flipped to another team at the deadline. It's

544
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,119
if I'm Carolina, I gave up a big piece of

545
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,960
Martin Kash so they could maybe you got to recoup

546
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,720
something rather than let Miko Rehanton and go for free,

547
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,359
couldn't you.

548
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,279
Speaker 2: It's yeah, for sure, for sure. Yeah, that's been the

549
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:50,480
big question. Some will say he's the Hurricanes will spend

550
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,839
the money on a guy like this in the postseason.

551
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,960
They will pay for the elite guys, but they just

552
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:57,079
are very careful about who they overpaid for. But yeah,

553
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,400
to trade for him and then to lose him, then again,

554
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,160
what did they do with Jake Kensel last year? But

555
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,759
Jake Ensel's not at the level of Miko rant And sorry,

556
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,960
sorry Jake. You were great American in that tournament. You

557
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,079
did your best, but you're not quite at the level

558
00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:12,400
of Miko. And yeah, the next question I had to

559
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,039
ask you about Tim while you're on here, man, you're

560
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,920
you've been following Vancouver and I know you've got some

561
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,240
takes to get off on this thing, the old controversy

562
00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:23,640
there with the Knucks this year. What do you make

563
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,119
of all that?

564
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 3: This is a spicy one, it's a JT. Miller trade

565
00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:34,440
to the Rangers, that tough one. You've got an older player,

566
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,759
an intense player. Will never know, maybe until someone retires

567
00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:42,160
and writes a book, but we'll never know what the

568
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,160
real story was going on in the last couple of

569
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,799
years in the dressing room. I tend to think if,

570
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,000
given how intense JT. Miller is, I tend to think

571
00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:57,920
it's a case of he was trying to maybe encourage

572
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,599
Lis Petterson to match a little bit of a higher

573
00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:05,480
intensity level, and maybe that fed into what was going

574
00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:08,079
on between the two of them. It's hard to think

575
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,680
that went on for so long. But again, we'll never

576
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,200
really know. So the question really begs in my mind.

577
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,039
Did Vancouver trade the right guy? Should they have moved

578
00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:20,960
on from Alias Petterson? Or is it JT. Miller the

579
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:25,119
right call? If I look at JT. Miller's career, he's

580
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,000
had more sustained success over the years. Took him a

581
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,519
bit before he hit his ceiling when he came from

582
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:33,039
I believe he came from the Rangers to Vancouver the

583
00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:36,519
first time, and in Vancouver's really where he cut his teeth.

584
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,160
If you're in a categories league, JT. Miller is routinely

585
00:31:40,519 --> 00:31:43,640
a top five player to have in those types of leagues.

586
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,359
He gives you more category coverage. He's trieligible. That's always

587
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,359
a bonus to have guys that can play all positions.

588
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,319
But I do question whether Vancouver did trade the right

589
00:31:56,359 --> 00:32:00,440
guy because JT. Miller competes how we really he is

590
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,920
in a dressing room. I don't know, but for my money,

591
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,160
I'm leaning towards I might have kept JT. Miller if

592
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,240
I wanted to, if I wanted to continue to push

593
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,680
in the playoffs. Immediate era for the current future, Elias Petterson.

594
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,960
He's young. He's five years younger than than JT. Miller.

595
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,640
He's in his mid twenties. There's no reason that he

596
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,839
can't bounce back. I do wonder if he needs to

597
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,160
change his scenery in order to remove himself from that situation.

598
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,519
If he's not, I'm going to say this, if he's

599
00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:34,079
not as mentally tough as some of the other players.

600
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,960
A Canadian market with a big contract is a tough

601
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,759
place to play. It is interesting that the kind of

602
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:44,480
the fall from grace for Elias Petterson really did happen

603
00:32:44,599 --> 00:32:48,799
right after he signed the extension. But he really is

604
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:51,880
this year's he's had his lowest point per game of

605
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,599
his entire career. There's no reason to think he can't

606
00:32:54,599 --> 00:32:57,119
get back. Maybe it's just a matter of this season

607
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,319
needs to end, go home for the summer, reset, reach out, actually,

608
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:02,920
then come back with a new mindset next year. Here's

609
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,720
the hoping that happens. Because I like to see our

610
00:33:05,759 --> 00:33:09,559
Canadian teams succeed, except for maybe Ottawa.

611
00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:12,119
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, wait a minute, that I think

612
00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:14,559
you've outed yourself. I'm not sure you're a real Canadian

613
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:17,279
team saying you want the other Canadian teams to succeed.

614
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,240
That's I don't know. I think we've outed you, but

615
00:33:20,759 --> 00:33:23,920
I know, I totally I get it. I get ith. Yeah,

616
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,359
so we'll see about that. It's certainly gonna be plenty

617
00:33:27,359 --> 00:33:30,720
of opportunity for people to second guess the team's decisions

618
00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:34,359
for years and years, but nothing else. Yeah, Miller is

619
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:37,400
a little bit older. I always worry about the guys

620
00:33:37,599 --> 00:33:40,920
with their physical games in their mid thirties. If you

621
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,160
had JT on a team, is your your trigger finger

622
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,400
getting itchy to trade him in dynasty on your own teams.

623
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: One thing about fantasy, even dynasties, is I find that

624
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,960
sometimes the older guys, their value decreases a lot quicker,

625
00:33:56,319 --> 00:33:59,559
but they still like JT. Miller is still only thirty one.

626
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,680
I think he still got three or four very productive

627
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,160
years ahead of them, And in fantasy circles, three to

628
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,519
four years is a long time. I'd be open to

629
00:34:08,599 --> 00:34:11,199
a trade like that, I've it would have to it

630
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,719
would have to be one that kind of knocks my

631
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,199
socks off, because I do think he's still got tremendous value.

632
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,840
I did see in one of my leagues someone posted

633
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:23,800
they had they had received a trade offer that included

634
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,280
Tage Thompson for JT. Miller. And that was an interesting

635
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,599
kind of scenario to think about, because here's Tage Chompson

636
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,280
had that great year a couple of years ago. He

637
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,119
still produces, he still produces close to a point per game,

638
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,559
He's a couple of years younger. An interesting scenario. If

639
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:45,400
you were looking for a push for the this year's playoffs,

640
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:49,199
which way would you go? I still like JT. Miller's

641
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,440
upside for another couple of years.

642
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:54,159
Speaker 2: Oh man, I think I'd take Tate Thompson there, and

643
00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:56,599
I know he only had the one year and Buffalo

644
00:34:57,159 --> 00:34:59,960
continues to trip over their own laces. But in Dina

645
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,679
the Man, I'd have a hard time turning away from him.

646
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,239
But flipping to the Elias side of the equation, how

647
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,440
high do you see him in like centermon rankings in Dynasty?

648
00:35:09,559 --> 00:35:12,440
How high would you be willing to take him among

649
00:35:12,599 --> 00:35:14,239
Dynasty fantasy centers?

650
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 3: Oh boy, Elias Petterson. I'm cynical where he's concerned. I

651
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,480
don't know if a hundred points is that that will

652
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,239
be repeated. I do think he has the opportunity to

653
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,159
get there, but I tend to look at him as

654
00:35:27,199 --> 00:35:29,920
more of a kind of a point per game guy

655
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,320
seventy five to eighty five points. Given the year it's

656
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:38,119
I still consider him probably a top top twenty centerment

657
00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:42,480
in the league when he's when he's performing. It's interesting

658
00:35:42,639 --> 00:35:46,000
the thirty two thoughts. Elliott Freeman mentioned the other day

659
00:35:46,159 --> 00:35:50,440
that they thought there might be an injury related hampering

660
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,480
Elias Petterson, but apparently that was rebuked by the Peterson

661
00:35:54,599 --> 00:36:00,000
camp very quickly. Who knows again, if I wouldn't buy

662
00:36:00,119 --> 00:36:02,519
might be a by low candidate right now, and given

663
00:36:02,599 --> 00:36:06,199
the circumstances, I might definitely be inclined to pull the

664
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,000
trigger on something like that because he is a talented guy,

665
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,719
but he's such a small guy, and the game keeps

666
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,960
getting faster. I just wonder if physically he can do

667
00:36:18,039 --> 00:36:21,280
what it takes to maintain one hundred point pace consistently.

668
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: It's a good point, all right, Tim. The NHL trade

669
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,400
deadline is a mere couple of weeks away. Give me

670
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,039
a trade you'd like to see in the NHL, maybe

671
00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:34,599
one that would It's not a complete ripoff. It's not

672
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,800
Connor McDavid to the maple Leafs for you know, the

673
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,039
rights to John Klingberg, and he's already with the letter

674
00:36:43,159 --> 00:36:46,639
I don't know whatever you know for already giving them Klingberg.

675
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:49,360
Maybe we'll just do that. Give me a trade this.

676
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,599
Maybe some of them are realistic. You think would help

677
00:36:51,639 --> 00:36:54,840
the teams, you think would be good for Dynasty. It

678
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,519
doesn't have to be that cap compliant. I'm not gonna

679
00:36:57,559 --> 00:36:59,960
I'm not gonna run the calculators on here, but give

680
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:00,760
me an idea here.

681
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,199
Speaker 3: Oh man, this was a fun question. When you post

682
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,440
it to me and before I even hey, I start

683
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:09,239
talking about it. I want to put my disclaimer in

684
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,199
that because I guess Frank Sarah Valley posted a tweet

685
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,320
yesterday proposing something along these lines. So I'm merely in

686
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,880
our discord chat went to Jesse and said, you are

687
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,719
my witness that I proposed this before Sarah Valley did.

688
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: Can't confirm people can't confirm what you were about to

689
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,000
hear with pre Servalley, Tim.

690
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: Takes given the spirit of the Four Nations, what a

691
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,480
great tournament to watch. We have been starved for best

692
00:37:35,519 --> 00:37:38,039
on best for so long. Although it was a bit

693
00:37:38,039 --> 00:37:40,599
of a I thought a gimmicky tournament going into it,

694
00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:43,760
I didn't miss a game. It was so fun to watch.

695
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,679
But why wouldn't we ride the coattails and somehow get

696
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,119
Matthew to Chuck and Brady to Chuck on the same

697
00:37:49,159 --> 00:37:52,199
team just so we can watch that chaos every game.

698
00:37:52,599 --> 00:37:55,920
So my trade, and you think it couldn't happen, could it?

699
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,840
But my trade is between the Ottawa Senators and the

700
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:04,320
Florida Panthers. The proposal I have is Sam Reinhart and

701
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,880
Anton Lendell to Ottawa for Brady to Chuck and Shane Pinto.

702
00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:11,599
I think Lendell is starting to I wouldn't want to

703
00:38:11,639 --> 00:38:15,159
call his season up breakout, but he's really solidified himself.

704
00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:18,320
Does he have that second line center upside? I think

705
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,320
Ottawa has that spot, you know that where they could

706
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,079
use some support when Josh Norris seems to get injured

707
00:38:24,159 --> 00:38:26,599
quite a bit. So he could be a good fit there.

708
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,880
Sam Reinhart, I thought that he had a bit of

709
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:35,360
a coming out is in the Four Nations playing with

710
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,079
the players he was playing. He's a smart hockey player,

711
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,800
so to put him alongside someone like Castutzel Batherson, he

712
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:47,199
could be a great piece. He's been around now, so

713
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,480
he's won a Stanley Cup. He might be a piece

714
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:52,199
that Ottawa might see some value in. And then you

715
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:57,760
have Brady to Chuck, who is all categories monster. He's

716
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,079
one of the most intense captains in the Put him

717
00:39:01,079 --> 00:39:04,199
with his brother. That would be such a fun such

718
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,840
a fun thing to watch, and the media clips that

719
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,440
would come out of Miami would be something That's what

720
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,280
I'd like to see.

721
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,119
Speaker 2: Now, let me just propose an alternative. What if we

722
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,719
traded What if we traded Tim Stutzlaw and let's see,

723
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,719
I'm trying to come up with somebody else here, Carter

724
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,679
Yakamchuk for Matthew Kuchuk, and we put them both on

725
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:27,800
the Ottawa Senators.

726
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,039
Speaker 3: Tim, I'm a Leaf fan. I don't want to see

727
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:30,320
that out.

728
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,519
Speaker 2: You could face both Kachucks. How many times a year?

729
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,199
Right now? You have to face them both. That doubles

730
00:39:38,199 --> 00:39:40,280
the number of games. This would have the number of

731
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,199
games that Toronto would have to play against the Kachuk.

732
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: And then you'd have the Canadian media covering hockey, so

733
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,599
all those folks wouldn't go to waste.

734
00:39:48,679 --> 00:39:52,079
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. All right, that's a

735
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:54,400
good yeah, and I agree with you. I think this

736
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,559
is Yeah. This is the first time that we've recorded

737
00:39:56,679 --> 00:40:01,400
since our first broadcast since the Four Nations. Congratulate Canada.

738
00:40:01,519 --> 00:40:05,000
You earned it. Connor McDavid is the best. But yeah,

739
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:08,320
it was a lot of fun and I was frequently

740
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,360
saying on the show, I really didn't want to have

741
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,440
this long of a break because I care about the

742
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,119
fantasy hockey. But I do have to hand it to

743
00:40:17,199 --> 00:40:20,079
him for putting together something that is just it's completely

744
00:40:20,119 --> 00:40:22,559
taken over the sports discourse in the past few weeks

745
00:40:22,599 --> 00:40:25,679
in America, which is impossible for hockey to do. Even

746
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,639
during the Stanley Cup Finals, it doesn't feel like it

747
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,840
took it takes over the sports discourse the way that

748
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,360
it did for this one. And yeah, people are talking

749
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,440
about it. Kudos to the NHL and the players and

750
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:40,719
everybody else who made this happen. All right, And now, Tim,

751
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,000
I'm gonna give you a fun one because I remember

752
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:46,119
we had you on you you took over a tidy

753
00:40:46,199 --> 00:40:49,760
team last year in the top division and you went

754
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,440
to town on that sucker, and we had you on

755
00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:55,400
to talk through the process of that and what you

756
00:40:55,519 --> 00:40:58,199
had to do. So I kind of I want to

757
00:40:58,199 --> 00:41:00,159
get your takes because I know you're a man who

758
00:41:00,159 --> 00:41:03,480
was not afraid to trade in overall. What are some

759
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,079
what's the favorite Fantasy Dynasty Hockey trade you've made this year?

760
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:12,159
So in any league and anything you want, Yeah, tell

761
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,320
us about a good one. Anyway. So'spin as a yarn, Tim.

762
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 3: So it's interesting, right. So I joined the Categories League

763
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,400
with Victor oh Boy a couple of months ago, and

764
00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:29,079
I took over this team and what I really noticed

765
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:31,159
on the roster is it had a lot of good

766
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,920
young talents. It is a competing team, but a lot

767
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,159
of the talent is scoring talent, so as in the

768
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,199
categories league, you want a diverse portfolio of players that

769
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,480
kind of cover categories. It was a trade that probably

770
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,039
wasn't everyone's favorite, But I also think that when you're

771
00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:54,119
in a categories league, sometimes the names on what you

772
00:41:54,159 --> 00:41:57,559
would traditionally see as a high level player, the name's

773
00:41:57,639 --> 00:41:59,679
change in the categories league. See if I can bring

774
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:07,000
up the trade it was right here, so I gave up.

775
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,719
The primary pieces I gave up were Clayton Keller, mattve Mitchkoff,

776
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:17,679
Emma Lander, Brandon Montour, and Bobby Brink. And the players

777
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:24,480
I got back were Nick Dowd, Mackenzie Wiger, Prospect Clark Caswell,

778
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,960
Frank Fatrano, and Jamie Benn. On the surface, when Goff

779
00:42:30,199 --> 00:42:33,480
is a sublime talent, hopefully he's gonna hit a ceiling

780
00:42:33,559 --> 00:42:37,039
of greater than one hundred points. He's gonna shoot all

781
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:41,199
sorts of shots. He's gonna cover your power play points.

782
00:42:41,679 --> 00:42:44,599
I did need to move some caps in this trade.

783
00:42:44,639 --> 00:42:49,199
I don't think it was that well received amongst the

784
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,320
league mates. I think when you see the names, it

785
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:57,000
feels very tilted, but again dealing from a position of strength,

786
00:42:57,119 --> 00:43:00,199
knowing that I had to move some salary. And I

787
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,159
think guys like Mackenzie Wiger is a multi category stud

788
00:43:05,079 --> 00:43:08,360
I think a guy like Frank Fittrano is very underestimated.

789
00:43:08,519 --> 00:43:10,880
The guy may not be scoring the way he did

790
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,599
a couple of years ago, but he still covers shots, hits.

791
00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:16,840
He does give me that cover, that coverage and categories.

792
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,760
Jamie Ben's another one like that. He seems to with

793
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,599
Tyler Sagan being out, he seems to be having another

794
00:43:24,639 --> 00:43:28,199
great year at thirty five years old. So that trade,

795
00:43:28,599 --> 00:43:31,559
although when you look at the names at face value,

796
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,079
seems very tilted, when you understand the objectives of both teams,

797
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,280
I thought it made sense.

798
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I in a vacuum, somebody's going to hear those

799
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:46,599
names and say, WHOA, that is not great, But I'll

800
00:43:46,639 --> 00:43:48,960
give it to you. Frank Vitronto I recently trade. I

801
00:43:49,039 --> 00:43:52,599
actually traded Victor for him in our four sport league

802
00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:54,280
in One of the things that attracts me about to

803
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,079
Toronto is not only has he had amazing stats, but

804
00:43:57,119 --> 00:44:01,599
he is on a sneaky good contract going forward. Yeah,

805
00:44:01,639 --> 00:44:03,960
he's only been getting three point six millions whole years

806
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,239
and now he's got three more year extension that just

807
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,280
started a four point five to seven mil, which is

808
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,639
bad for a hockey salary that produces a lot of

809
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:15,039
points for you and Jamie Benz in the last year

810
00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:18,440
of that monster contract of his. So yeah, I can

811
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,360
see that. Boy, that's a rough one. But that's you

812
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:25,960
are great at analyzing what stats you're trying to get here,

813
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,159
And that's the h It's not who people think win

814
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,760
because of the twelve team league that they've been playing

815
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,360
with their buddies or a ten team league they've been

816
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,199
playing with their buddies for years. It's the team that

817
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,760
does the math and figures out who is actually going

818
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,920
to help me win in this league. That usually comes

819
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:43,800
out in a head, right.

820
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm a firm believer, and I mean I

821
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,519
probably repeating myself a bit, but I'm a firm believer

822
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,480
that you want trades to be a win. So I

823
00:44:52,519 --> 00:44:55,400
have no problems paying the piper. I mean, I look

824
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,519
at him, Mitchkoff. Yeah that when we look back, he

825
00:44:58,639 --> 00:45:01,440
will hopefully be the best player in that trade. But

826
00:45:01,599 --> 00:45:04,800
he's I believe he's still gonna gonna he's gonna have

827
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,519
the tort school of tough love for a year or two.

828
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:10,599
I think, yeah, that's what you do. You got your

829
00:45:10,599 --> 00:45:13,239
win now pieces, and you may be giving up the

830
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,239
best player long term. But that's really not what I

831
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,320
was kind of looking for. Plus the team I'm talking about,

832
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,199
I still got some young guys like Dylan Holloway Lane Hudson,

833
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,360
So it's not like there isn't succession plans already baked

834
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,159
into my team. So again it's dealing from a position

835
00:45:30,199 --> 00:45:34,519
of strength to hopefully solidify a good long playoff run.

836
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, all right, any other So it's

837
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,000
sounds like it's not been huge trade season over and

838
00:45:42,079 --> 00:45:42,840
tidy this year.

839
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 3: No, it's interesting, right because I've had the pleasure of

840
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,840
being part of three divisions. I started in Gretzky and then,

841
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,079
as you mentioned, I moved up to Stanley just I

842
00:45:53,079 --> 00:45:56,440
think just before Christmas last year to cover another manager,

843
00:45:56,639 --> 00:45:59,719
and then this year within the Lemieux Division. So it's

844
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,239
been interesting. When you compare all three, I find the

845
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:08,039
Lemieux Division is a little bit more conservative. The teams

846
00:46:08,079 --> 00:46:10,920
that are lower in the standings, they are protective of

847
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,760
some of their their better players. Because they are very

848
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:18,360
cognizant of relegation, so that and I understand that one.

849
00:46:19,039 --> 00:46:21,119
So it's been a bit of a different kind of

850
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,960
trading vibe. I thinking Lemieux in Gretzky. My experience was

851
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,639
you could load a package of prospects and young NHL

852
00:46:28,679 --> 00:46:32,320
players and really move some big names. And then my

853
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,440
time in Stanley there was such a blur and it

854
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,440
was like a I think back to that time sometimes

855
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,679
and I wonder sometimes if I overthought some of the trading.

856
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,480
But yeah, that became a whirlwind. But that was actually

857
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,000
a very unique experience because you had to win the

858
00:46:48,039 --> 00:46:51,760
relegation round in order to avoid being relegated, which is

859
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,239
unique to Lord Stanley. There was no stone unturned in

860
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,199
trying to make that happen. And my buddy Tom tron

861
00:46:58,639 --> 00:47:01,639
two years in a row, so he's housted me from

862
00:47:01,679 --> 00:47:04,360
the tidy playoffs. He won't get that chance this year,

863
00:47:04,639 --> 00:47:07,159
but I'm looking to maybe I could sneak my way

864
00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:10,199
into that Stanley division for next year and make it

865
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:11,239
right with Tom Trump.

866
00:47:12,119 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go. It's out for revenge,

867
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,079
all right. Tim. This has been a lot of fun.

868
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,360
You are an incredibly smart manager. There's a reason why

869
00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:25,440
you've you stepped up to that Stanley, because my goodness,

870
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,440
you've thrived in the divisions you've been a part of

871
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,239
and done a great job keeping the train on the rails.

872
00:47:32,599 --> 00:47:34,760
Any I don't know, Tim, anything you want to promote

873
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,960
is a part of this. Should people just leave you

874
00:47:37,039 --> 00:47:39,880
nice notes and send you fruitcakes? Or what should people do?

875
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 3: So I tell you this, I've never commissioned a league

876
00:47:43,519 --> 00:47:46,599
before this year, so what better than to be a

877
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:51,719
rookie commissioner in a six sixth division? Six division, Yeah,

878
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:56,239
sixth division monster called the tidy Tiered Dynasty. So I've

879
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,119
had a lot of fun with that league. We take

880
00:47:59,119 --> 00:48:01,880
a look every week, can do a bit of an

881
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,639
update every week. I hope people are having fun with

882
00:48:04,679 --> 00:48:06,840
some of those updates. I do try to change it

883
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,000
up and spice it up a bit. But for those

884
00:48:10,039 --> 00:48:13,639
of you who are curious even remotely about the Tidy

885
00:48:13,679 --> 00:48:18,000
Tier Dynasty, get in the FHL discord and ask questions.

886
00:48:18,159 --> 00:48:22,840
We are always looking for new managers. Playoffs start tomorrow.

887
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,159
Actually today is the last day of our regular season.

888
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,320
Our trade deadline actually is today, but this season the

889
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,400
off season will soon be upon us. We're looking for managers.

890
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,400
Even if it's to be on the waiting list. I

891
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,039
guarantee you there will be some turnover in the off season,

892
00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:40,920
so you won't probably have to wait long. But we

893
00:48:41,039 --> 00:48:45,360
definitely encourage people. It's a fun dynasty. It's a challenge.

894
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,360
There's four tiers all and everyone plays for something, which

895
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,480
is in my mind, it's a really cool feature on

896
00:48:51,519 --> 00:48:55,239
this league. Like I said, if you're remotely interested, ask questions.

897
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,280
We can get you on a wait list, and we're

898
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,960
looking for great people to make any a great league.

899
00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:04,039
Speaker 2: Been great, Yeah, absolutely, and you are a huge part

900
00:49:04,039 --> 00:49:07,320
of it. Thanks for being there, and thanks for being

901

902
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,199
Speaker 3: Tim awesome, Thanks for having me. It's a lot of fun.

903
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: Be right back after this for another time. Before we

904
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,119
