What is the immediate reaction to Leo Carlson's $18M offer sheet and how will it reshape NHL team strategy?
Because I just picture you when you get into your zone, what are you doing? You're pacing. So I thought, oh, a treadmill would be a perfect place to work. So you just keep walking.
No, I don't like that. I don't like people who do that. People want to work out. They don't want to hear you on the phone.
I know. You're a popular guy in your gym, though. By the way, I got to tell you something. I know we're going way off.
Sorry. We'll get back to the flyers in a second.
Yeah. This is a great pod to just go on random tangents on, by the way. This is a nice short pod. There's plenty of time.
Welcome to 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented by your Canadian Toyota dealers and the 2026 Tacoma. It's time to Toyota. Dom, Elliot, and Kyle back with you. We hope you enjoyed your Canada Day celebrations, your 4th of July weekend, or whatever you may have been celebrating over the past week, wherever we find you here today. Welcome now to the 32 Thoughts Summer Bonanza. One final bash before settling into the off-season. In earnest, Elliot, how are you feeling?
I have a feeling I'm going to be doing even more talking here than normal.
Yes, this is a big one. A tour through all 32 clubs. We've got one final thought line for the year.
Did you have too many chalk wagon cheers at the Stampede on the weekend?
Man, it wasn't even that. It's just the venue is so loud. You try to talk to anybody and you've got to scream. So I was out at one of the tents Saturday night. Nothing outrageous, but there were a lot of podcast listeners who also enjoy Stampede Weekend. I learned that over the weekend too, big boy.
Well, we are always thankful to our podcast listeners and we will do shout outs in the thought line. But Kyle, this is a reminder, conserve your voice. Dana does not want to talk to you.
I know, I know. That's why I'm trying to save it for this. And I couldn't even do that over the weekend, man. It caught me by surprise, I've got to say.
All right, so I'm going to do some of the heavier lifting. Do you have intros written? We're going to go alphabetical order. We're going to do the first 16 teams in the league. We're going to do the thought line. We have a couple of shout-outs, and then we're going to do the final 16 teams in the league and say goodbye. This will be our final podcast of the 2025-26 season. Kyle, do you have any special way that you want to intro the teams, or is that not a thing here?
Yeah, I can set you up as we go along here. No problem, Frej. So we thought we would go alphabetically because that allows us to start in Anaheim, where the biggest story so far of the summer is Hit the other day when Leo Carlson signs the offer sheet with the Flyers. Five years, $90 million, about $85 million in bonuses. Set to become the highest paid player in the league at $18 million AAV. This is the offer sheet, Elliot, that changes the business of hockey as we know it. So what's the latest?
Well, first of all, the latest is Steph says that I am supposed to be on vacation as of July 2nd. And when that offer sheet came down on July 3rd, she gave me the biggest stink eye I have received in months. And that's saying something. Yes. Now, you could imagine how many stink eyes someone who would be married to me would give me and take the over. Whatever you think, take the over. This was as lingering a stink eye as I have received in some time, and it wasn't even my fault. The biggest lesson that everybody learned is... Take care of your business before someone does it for you. This league has changed in a lot of ways. We've talked about the changes in players, right? That this generation, they're not afraid to stand up.
trade requests i know not everybody likes it but that's what they do they stand up for themselves and it starts you know i was talking about this with nick and justin last week my son's a musician he doesn't play a lot of team sports he's not as interested in them which is fine we always support him whatever he does he's a very talented kid so i'm not really in the youth sports world But if you follow NCAA football or basketball, those sports, you see the way players transfer.
