Well, I was asleep, but I woke up in the morning to see that at 12.04, there was a text from a team saying, hey, are you up?
Let's talk.
I wasn't expecting it.
We weren't expecting it, you know.
But we had seven or eight teams inquire that day.
And, you know, four teams were ready to make offers.
you know, uh, pretty right away, you know, they wanted to be in the mix and, um, you know, we were, we were blown away by it a bit and, you know, we kind of narrowed it, narrowed it down to two teams in which we thought, you know, we did have discussions with the ducks that, that day and said this, you know, this could be coming into play.
Um, but you know, uh, on July 1st, we sent Leo the contract offer in writing and he was speechless.
You know, I think he was overwhelmed by the structure, um, how it was front loaded, almost all in signing bonus.
And frankly, like that's, that makes a huge difference when you're making that decision because that's upfront money.
That's money in your pocket with compound interest.
It's the values even greater.
And, um,
You know, I think the offer that he received was something that in the end, I think he and his family couldn't refuse.
And, you know, like the godfather, you know, I made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
And I think that's what they felt that way.
And that had nothing to do with the Ducks.
It was just, you know, again, they were aggressive throughout.
But in the end, I think it was just something that they couldn't turn down.
And, um, you know, our discussions and email with Anaheim, we're going to keep private.
