Brendan Gallagher is not going to be a like paid cap dump.

That's why Jordan Greenway is not going to be a paid cap dump.

That's why, I don't know, Darnell Nurse probably isn't, well, he might be, but it has to get to that level before we're starting to talk through that possibility.

So I think that's a really useful data point for Canucks fans to keep in mind, to bear in mind.

And then, you know, I like that Toronto's swinging for some mobility on the back end.

They've desperately needed it.

And I like that they're getting paid to effectively solve a roster crunch that they needed to.

Like, they're not worse in net because they lost wool, given that they have Hildeby and Stolarz.

And they're sort of effectively picking up a free asset while dumping salary and fixing their own roster crunch.

Like, that's easy work.

It's just interesting, whereas I sort of see this as like a clear value win for Toronto.

I think the fit for Philadelphia is so obviously good on both pieces acquired that you're going to have a lot of nights where Maple Leafs fans still being weird about Mitch Marner, by the way, I don't think they're ever going to stop are like, wow.

And we just gave away wool, right?

Like that's, that's coming.

If wall can stay healthy enough to play behind Rick pocket system.

By the way, we did get this text in earlier.

It's a win that I'm certain will be seen locally by Toronto fans as a loss, mostly because I think that hockey market has unmoored itself from its senses as a result of their Marner PTSD.

Yes, it's not going well for them.

I used to really have a lot of time for the Toronto hockey market.

Now, like the Mitch Marner thing is just so weird and so continuously weird.
