We're about to pay him.

We need some help.

Like we want to at least flirt with a playoff spot at this point in time.

And everywhere we look, is there possibilities?

Maybe Jason Robertson, maybe we look at an offer sheet.

Like, so I think you think back to a.

in the past that a team like Chicago specifically, and I'm just bringing them up, I don't know anything, that they liked Matthew Nise in the past, dating back to the whole Marc-Andre Fleury trade scenario.

And then the added pressure, and maybe that's an unfair word, but the expectation is that they help bolster what's around

A Bedard around the same age, like it would make a lot of sense.

And they say, you know what, we'll do this.

And we're eager to do something.

And Toronto says, okay, well, we'll look at Levshinov, Rinzel, maybe to a lesser extent, Korchinski.

Hey, how about that fourth overall pick?

So you start doing the math and you put something together and Chicago's like, we really can do this and really excite people.

Conor Bedard and his teammates, do we just pay the piper and make the deal?

And I think that's, I think the Leafs are fishing for somebody to just blow their brains out.

Does that make sense?

It does, because otherwise, why would you even entertain the idea of letting him go?

No, I have a boost to my contract.

If I have almost picture my background 10 times a year, I get a couple extra drinks when we have our yearly special, buddy.
