So this will be our 39 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:49.359 getting back on track. 40 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.719 You show up on the seventh, well, I'll just talk 41 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:53.719 to yourself in here. 42 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:58.000 Yeah, okay, I won't be the only guy talking to 43 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.120 himself a little too inside there. So band names will 44 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.840 go through our list of band names. Are you're a 45 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:05.879 good guy? List? 46 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:06.680 Now? 47 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:11.759 We have a blooper real prepared as well. Meanwhile, let's 48 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.319 talk some sports here as opposed to talking about ourselves. 49 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:19.840 Alex Livechkin is back with the Washington Capitals, a one year, 50 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:25.599 four point two five million dollars cap hit Alexevechkin is 51 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.479 forty years old. He'll be his birthdays in September, so 52 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.560 he'll be forty one before the season starts. Seventy one 53 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.520 goals short of one thousand for his career if you 54 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.479 combine regular season and playoffs. 55 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.840 Trick, phenomenal athlete, phenomenal hockey player. He's still going, He's 56 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.520 still scoring. He doesn't miss many games during the regular season. 57 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.199 This guy is just you just run out of words 58 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.479 to describe him. He is a phenomenal player. 59 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.639 Eighty two games last year. You talk about not missing 60 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.280 any any games, thirty two goals, thirty two assists, sixty 61 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.159 four points, and you say to yourself, well, that's not 62 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.960 very Ovechkin like. He led the capitals and goals end 63 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.000 points last year. And does he hustle like he used to? 64 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.439 Does he hit people like he used to? Is he 65 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.680 as ferocious as he used to be? No, but the 66 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.080 production is there, especially on the power play. And this 67 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.159 just in he sells. He sells tickets. So NHL is 68 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.680 better for this. So Vechkin back for at least another 69 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:31.680 season back with the Washington Capitals. As for the Vancouver Canucks, yesterday, 70 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.479 free agency period opens for the entire National Hockey League 71 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:41.639 Canucks with a productive day, making five signings and one trade. 72 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.000 Speaking of the five signings, let's get back to that. 73 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.400 You can now make it six. Luke Schen for a year, 74 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.360 Paul Carter for a year. We want to talk more 75 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.479 more about Paul Carter. Carter now, okay, welcome Carter, Welcome 76 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.400 back Ka and Jamie Alexiak for a couple of yours. 77 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.919 I don't think anybody has any problem with these signings 78 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.560 at all. And as we move on with some more 79 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.639 free agent signings, here we got that Derek any chance 80 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.599 there you go? A member of the all named team, 81 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.960 Trey the Canucks All name Team all time, Trey Fix, Welanski, 82 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.240 a Kill Thomas and this just in I mentioned six signings. 83 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.800 Matthew Steinberg signing with the Canucks release. The announcement was 84 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:28.040 made this morning. He's from Halifax Nova Scotia, a center 85 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.279 twenty five years old from the Colorado Avalanche organization. This 86 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.319 is a one year two way deal, much like Fixed, 87 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:41.160 Wolanski and Thomas's deals one year two way deal out 88 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.279 of Cornell University. He's only played eight NHL games, So 89 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.800 these are as you can see by our board here 90 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:48.800 depth signings. 91 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.639 The Atbosford guys, Sabsford guys. So when there's injuries in Vancouver, 92 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.240 some of these guys are going to get called up. 93 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.920 The Aki Thomas guy is a guy that all these guys, 94 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.360 Ryan Johnson and the assistant GM, mister Seeley, they know 95 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.720 all these guys and they've been keeping Sealy. The assistant 96 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.279 GM had a Keel Thomas in the American League. 97 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.600 So that one makes sense. Yeah, familiar with him. So 98 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.879 after our show yesterday we mentioned the five signings, the 99 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.480 Jamie Alexiak signing coming over from Seattle or coming up 100 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.680 north from Seattle two years, five million dollars aav that 101 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.920 happened after our show yesterday, and it was in response 102 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.240 to a trade that not a lot of people saw 103 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.399 coming Marcus Peterson to the Rangers for a conditional first 104 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.439 round draft pick in twenty thirty Rick four years from now. 105 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.399 Johnny, keep getting those first round picks, keep getting picks. 106 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.040 You're in a rebuild for the first four years. The 107 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.439 Canucks have to pick in the top five, top ten. 108 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.959 That's how you get out of this mess. This was 109 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.920 a great move. It freed up the money for Alexei 110 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.480 Alexiak he had to waive his no move, So I 111 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.800 do want to say this. Don Ryan Johnson had been 112 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.519 communicating with Marcus's agent the past few weeks. Basically, the 113 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.800 agent was told, we like Marcus a lot, but if 114 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:08.800 we get a deal the knocks or socks off, we're 115 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.720 gonna come to you. That's what happened yesterday. Canucks got 116 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:13.800 a little bit lucky. And I'll tell you why, DoD 117 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.199 There were teams that Patterson would have said no to 118 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.279 the fact they Canucks got Patterson to say yes to 119 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.759 the Rangers, who were not much better than the Canucks 120 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.480 last year. He didn't go from team thirty two to 121 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.399 team ten. He went from team thirty two to a 122 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:28.879 team that. 123 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:30.439 Had a horrible make klaoffs. 124 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.720 It did make the playoffs, So the Canucks got a 125 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.199 little bit lucky the Petterson Yes, he said, he waved 126 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.959 in the afternoon to the Rangers. Not a great situation, 127 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.079 but he said, yes. 128 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.600 But it is New York. It's Madison Square, and a 129 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.480 lot of a lot of people want to play there, 130 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.680 love playing there, no matter the situation. Always remember Gretzky 131 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.839 when he retired. One of his pieces of advice to 132 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:55.680 young lucky players, was that if you ever get a 133 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.240 chance to play in New York, specifically, the Rangers jump 134 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.639 on its. Petterson now a member of the Rangers. We 135 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.160 hardly knew him. He was harder to a year and 136 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.079 a half coming over from Pittsburgh. And they give up 137 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.079 a first rounder there, so they get a first rounder back. 138 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:16.720 And it's an unconventional move getting a first rounder so 139 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.240 far ahead in the future. But Rick, what if and 140 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.199 this is look this just in things tend to go 141 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.360 wrong for the Vancouver Canucks going back to nineteen seventy. 142 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.959 What if they are a playoff team at that point, 143 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.040 what if they're in contention and for a cup? And 144 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.439 I know that's praying for a lot if you're a 145 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.360 Vancouver Canuck fan. But then you've got a first round. 146 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.480 Maybe you have two first rounders and twenty third or 147 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.519 we have a chance to trade that first rounder if 148 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.680 you are a playoff bound team. So here's Ryan Johnson 149 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.199 yesterday he made himself available to the media. We got 150 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.560 this clip, Derek. This is Ryan Johnson on his thinking 151 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.079 with the Marcus Petterson trade. 152 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:02.399 Well, looking at the options, looking at where what that 153 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.959 team had available as far as restaurant picks, and then 154 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:11.199 also the timing to make the move. Still I see 155 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.120 value in a future pick. That is a time where 156 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.000 I hope we are heading in the right direction and 157 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.839 look back on having that pick is still going to 158 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.600 have value. It's hard to see it now, but something 159 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.240 that again I'm not afraid to do to punt things 160 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.879 down the road to give us opportunities at that point 161 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.200 to and it doesn't mean you wait till twenty thirty 162 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.159 that's something you may be able to use earlier as 163 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.200 as value to bring something back. 164 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:48.240 There you go saying, well, we just said that. Okay, 165 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.720 First of all, maybe you use that pick and it's conditional, 166 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.000 it's top ten protected, so it might not be till 167 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.080 till twenty thirty one. Twenty thirty one, right, so there's 168 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:02.080 a possibility of that. Or you use it as as 169 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.720 a trade chip. It's a smart movie, you know, look, 170 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.639 you know smart. Yeah, if that's what you If you 171 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.159 can get a first round draft pick for Marcus Pettis, 172 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.480 might again you gave up a first round draft pick, 173 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.440 but that's another regime. It was Ruththerford and Alvin this This, 174 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.600 this to me makes a whole lot of sense. It's smart, 175 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:23.519 it's it's it's reasonable, it's understandable. Uh, and it makes 176 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.320 sense given where they at where they are at right now. 177 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.720 Same with all these deals that they've made, right, they're 178 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.679 all short term smart. 179 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.039 Donney a couple of things. Ultimately, this new regime will 180 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.600 be judged on wins and losses. But up till now, 181 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.399 they got a plan. They articulate it well. Like when 182 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.919 you listen to Ryan Johnson, you don't listening to a 183 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.919 bumbling fool. He's got a plan. What do you d 184 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.159 d up last two years? What's the plan been in Vancouver? 185 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:56.159 Resigned Quinn Hughes last year July first, Demko, Garland Besser 186 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.240 all resigned for one reason. Resigned Quinn Hughes. How did 187 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.799 that turn out? The whole plan in the last two 188 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.200 years was to resign Quinn Hughes. These guys plan is 189 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.039 not evolved around one player. The big key yesterday you 190 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.679 nailed it. No long term deals. Deals were all short 191 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.679 gives you flexibility. Long term deals come with no moves. 192 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.879 What headache do the Canucks have right now? Don no moves. 193 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.679 They got seven of them thanks to the finish thirty seconds, 194 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.440 So they got seven No moves thanks to the old regime, Donnie, 195 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.799 short term deals give you flex and even this Carter guy, 196 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.600 let's say everyone's talking all we're going to trade him. 197 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:33.639 If he turns out. 198 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.200 To be a good culture piece, you could keep him. 199 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.960 I want to talk some more about Paul Carter. I 200 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.000 think Brian will do that in the open segment of 201 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.799 the in the eleven o'clock hour. What's that signal mean? 202 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.559 What does this mean? Moving? Are you driving a motorcycle? 203 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.440 It's watch your time because we have Moje and Drants coming. 204 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.840 Up back to back. Well, Drant's two questions ten minutes. 205 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.960 So yeah, you're France is one question? And God bless 206 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:02.399 him by the way. So again, Canucks acquire Matthew Steinberg 207 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:07.919 or they signed Matthew Steinberg, the former Colorado AV and 208 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.320 then the Marcus Patterson trade. Okay, and I thought Marcus 209 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.759 Patterson was better when he first came to the Canucks 210 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.960 versus last season. Yes, when were there are some difficulties there? Okay, 211 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.639 a lot going on today. As I said, we want 212 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.519 to focus on Paul Cotter. He's a character. So we're 213 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.279 gonna We've got an open segment in the eleven o'clock hour. 214 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.919 He's a character in what he does around it and 215 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.960 in the dressing room. And he's got some sweet hands, 216 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.080 is how a lot of people have described his ability 217 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.519 with the puck, even though his career highs just sixteen goals. 218 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.960 We'll put that on display in the eleven o'clock hour. Also, 219 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.559 we've got to talk about before I forget, don't forget. 220 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:54.840 BC Lions in Kloonna again on Saturday, oh and three 221 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.639 to start the season after the loss in Colona last weekend. 222 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.440 They take on the three and oh ebonton Elks on 223 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:06.000 Saturday up there, BC placed tonight Algeria versus Switzerland, Canada 224 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.519 versus Morocco course Saturday in Houston.

So big, thank you everybody that was involved. 295 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.480 Okay, so when it comes to events in the Okanagan, 296 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.120 I'm trying to avoid it, but you know I shouldn't 297 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.720 say that they're owing three of the Lions they lose 298 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.840 to Calgary. But what was the whole Apple Bowl experience 299 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.600 like as we look ahead to the Edmonton game in 300 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.559 Colonna this weekend. 301 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.120 Well, I'll tell you one thing. The town was a buzz. 302 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.399 Everywhere you went. People were talking about the Lions here 303 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.519 going to the game. It should be so much fun. 304 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:29.480 The significant other was in a pilates class and she 305 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.559 was saying, even in there and you know, people were 306 00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:34.879 talking about the Lions game that day. It was actually 307 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:36.519 it was it was crazy. It was off the hook. 308 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.480 I mean, just the buzz in the city. I couldn't 309 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.519 believe how many people knew about the game, were going 310 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.440 to the game. The game itself, I'm sure speaking of 311 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.960 drone shots, he showed that shot in that bailey, I'm 312 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.080 sure you saw some of the shot. 313 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:48.639 Beautiful. 314 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.960 Yeah, it was magnificent. I mean, of course, there were 315 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.559 logistical issues. There always will be anytime you run an 316 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:56.759 event for the first time. Hopefully they'll clean some of 317 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.000 those things up for the game this weekend versus Edmonton, 318 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.399 and bottom line is though they lost the game, and 319 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.240 that's the most important thing, and unfortunately the Lions now 320 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:06.000 sit at own three. 321 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.599 Yeah, oh and three. So what stands out, as I 322 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:10.799 probably asked you this last week when they were owing two, 323 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.119 what stands out is the Lion's major major issues. A 324 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:15.359 lot of penalties last weekend. 325 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:20.039 Yeah, I thought the defense flashed some signs of life, 326 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.839 a little bit better pass rush. I mean, the offense 327 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.640 continues to do what they do, but I think it's 328 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.440 just complementary football right now, and that's the one thing 329 00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.359 the Lions aren't doing. And you know, people look at 330 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.720 the firing of special teams coordinator Corey McDermott and say, 331 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:36.839 you know, they should have fired and make Benavidi's But 332 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:38.200 I mean, if you look at a lot of the 333 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.240 issues that the Lions have had, I mean, field position's 334 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.480 been atrocious. When the other team's starting with the ball 335 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.799 at the forty five or the fifty, your defense is 336 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.319 kind of playing with a gun to their head because 337 00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:51.640 they know if they give up two or three first downs, 338 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.039 it's basically points on the board, right And conversely, when 339 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.400 your offense is starting at your twenty five or your thirty, 340 00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:58.119 which they have most of the year this year, the 341 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.079 field position has been it's been you know, you've got 342 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:04.319 to put together some sustained drives to put points on 343 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.000 the board. So, and that's not to say it's all 344 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.000 on special teams, you know, same thing. I mean, if 345 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.880 the offense or peronly if the defensive unit goes out 346 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:14.759 there with the opposition having the ball on the ten 347 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:16.759 yard line, they got to stop them then in there 348 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:19.720 and get the ball back and get decent field position. Instead, 349 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:21.960 they give up three four first downs even if they 350 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.960 force a punt. Now the lines are starting deep in 351 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.039 their territory. So to me, it's about complimentary football. 352 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:34.880 Excuse me, holy smoke, where's your mic cough button? 353 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:36.960 Good lord? 354 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:39.400 Low tech here? 355 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:43.160 What don't eat before you come on the air anything? 356 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:44.119 I'm drinking coffee. 357 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.759 Well that's the first time I heard you say that. Anyways, listen, mode, 358 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:50.799 let's go to the Canucks free agency. What are your 359 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.079 thoughts on what they did yesterday? 360 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.559 You know, it's interesting, Rick, I know you and I 361 00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.599 both know in talking to certain people within the organization 362 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.000 that these are the type of pickups they needed to make. 363 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:06.119 Last year BINGO, to improve the room. 364 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.519 So to speak, to improve the leadership group. I just 365 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.039 kind of think to myself, Yeah, okay, maybe it's a 366 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.240 year late, but still it's a step in the right direction. 367 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.400 You know, I loved what they did bringing in character 368 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.519 guys like Gallagher, alexiak Shan. You know, they weren't handed 369 00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:24.519 big tickets. So for me, it's I like what they've done. 370 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.920 I think they've brought in the right type of players, 371 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.240 the right character players to guide and mentor some of 372 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.319 the younger players on this team. So I think the 373 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:35.759 moves that Ryan Johnson has made, I'm all on board 374 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:40.039 with it. And you know, it's interesting because I was 375 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.160 listening to your hit this morning with Brouff and Rough 376 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.960 and you know, the plan last year was, well, we 377 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:49.319 got to win for Quinn right, and contracts the terrible 378 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:52.799 It's just it's just now you look back at it. 379 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.279 And even when Rutherford was here, I looked at a 380 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:56.880 lot of the moves that he made, and it was this. 381 00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.640 He was like always like, you know, plugging this ball. 382 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:02.759 He was robbing Peter to pay Paul all the time. Right, Okay, 383 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:05.200 let's let's get at a Fesse move. Now we lose forward depth. 384 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:06.839 Well let's get a forward, but now we're going to 385 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:08.440 lose a draft pick, right. I mean, it was just 386 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:12.960 it's just, it was just it was the best way 387 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.400 to describe it was ad libbing all the time, just 388 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.559 trying to get a quick fix rather than looking at 389 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:20.119 a long. 390 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:22.720 Term solution which should work for the hockey club. 391 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:24.400 And I think when you look at Ryan Johnson and 392 00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.079 the Sedines, that's what they have. They have a long 393 00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:29.440 term plan and they're going to stick to that plan. 394 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:31.799 That being said, who knows, Maybe they're going and signed 395 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:34.559 Jamie ben today. It was six years, fifty four million, 396 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:36.799 but I highly doubt it. 397 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:41.680 No, there's no way. Hey, Rick Talket told you that 398 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.240 when they lost the door off in Cole Boy, he 399 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:44.960 really missed that. 400 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:45.759 I missed those. 401 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.599
