But yes, he seemed rather upset.

Tony, I'm with you.

And whenever you have a GM, Tony, you've been doing this forever too.

Whenever you have a GM just kind of float that.

there's a lot behind it.

There's, there's an interesting story there.

And I, I just feel, look, considering what we saw from Ken Hughes that day, considering how this rumor has kind of stayed in the ether, uh, since, since like the night before, two nights before the deadline, like Jeff has a party, uh, earlier on the Sitzik Sarah show powered by sick media, shout out sick media did remind me that Elliot had, he floated in eyes very briefly before the deadline this year.

And everyone in this market went nuts, uh,

Because that's the first time that had been done.

And the fact that it's still kind of out there, the fact that Brad Treliving got fired not long after that trade deadline with Keith Pelley in the room, I want to remind the audience, the reporting on that and the numerous reporting on that is that Pelley was watching it all play out.

And if Brad Treliving, who does not have the reputation of being a guy who pulls the trigger quickly on anything, is bungling this type of move,

Listen, we could talk about the merits of what that trade would have done for both teams back on the trade deadline, as reported by David Pagnotta in a second if you want, and I know we will.

But to have it out there that you missed the deadline by a minute is just so damning.

And I hope this is not a fallacy because if it is, it's not fair to Brad at all.

I mean, look, I think he was in a room where names were said.

I think we can confirm.

He was in a room where names were said, and Pelly should not have come close to going down that road.

And on top of that, this is the reason why I think this leak specifically over the last 24 hours came out of Montreal.

Kent Hughes, at the season end availability, brings up Mitch Marner in the Leafs.

He's clearly still pissed at the Toronto Maple Leafs.
