It's like 3.3 million off the top of my head.
And this year and next remaining, this is a goaltender who's never played more than 45 games and, you know, who didn't have his best season last year, although he's generally been...
Simone Benoit is sort of your classic 5'6", if you're being polite, 6'7", if you're being realistic type defenseman.
But, you know, I'd say in Wolfe's case,
given his abilities and given the environment that Rick talk, it's teams tend to create for their goaltenders.
Like, I think there's a world where wool crushes it, like knocks it out of the park here in sort of limited run or potentially greater run behind Dan Vladar, who he could easily outperform by the way, like easily outperform.
So if he can stay healthy, there's a huge opportunity for him.
I mean, we've seen a lot of Noah Juleson, 15 to 17 minute nights for Rick talk at like the fit with Ben was obvious.
And so it's really interesting because effectively I think Philadelphia turned a non tender candidate, uh,
And a five, nine defenseman that sort of player that very rarely has much trade value and a third round pick into, you know, a pretty significant upgrade in, in terms of their Achilles heel, which is a net, right.
And a defender that Rick talk, it's going to play the leather off of, right?
Like he's going to play him and he's going to play him a lot.
I think the truth of the matter though, is that there's one consequential asset in this deal, right?
And so the Maple Leafs, I think demonstrated that like, okay, you're taking a, you know, mid twenties guy with term and money remaining on his contract and durability issues at the most replaceable position in the league.
And you're getting a third while getting off that money, right?
Like that's a massive indicator of where things are going.
