So what's it like driving with Sammy? It's aggressive. It's a little bit lower to the ground because I'm in my truck. So everything just seems like it's coming at me a lot quicker when I'm with Sammy.
I respect that, Sam.
I don't believe in amber.
Oh, the color?
Most everything is green.
The color or the commentator?
The commentator. What about him? What is it? The secret voice? What is he?
Oh, the anonymous... The anonymous, yeah. Welcome to 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented by your Canadian Toyota dealers and the 2026 Tacoma. It's time to Toyota from Buffalo. Kyle, Elliot, and Dom, we're all together in person. This doesn't happen too often during the year, so we cherish the moments that do. And it's a great time to all be together because when you think of what's happened this week already... I think of the scene from Anchorman after the big fight between all the networks and they're sitting in Burgundy's office and he goes, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast. Here we are. We haven't even gotten to draft day yet as we record this. You're listening to this, of course, Friday morning, the day of the draft.
And late Thursday night, Dom has freedom to drop this pod late Thursday night.
Oh, so maybe so our listeners out west are just staying up late. are catching this Thursday night. And it was on Thursday night that you reported... Wait a second.
Before we get to this, I have to dedicate this pod. Sorry. Sorry, I'm violating the Butcher Girls rule. Get to the news quick. But I have to shout out three people at the top of this pod right away. So I had a snafu this week around the Board of Governors meeting in New York City. I had an issue that I had to deal with. Nothing serious, but it's one of those things that you need help to get through. And I needed help from the Canadian consulate in New York City. I would like to thank Grisha and Melissa. And there was another woman named Jessica, who I believe was the first person I spoke to in the call center who put me in touch to them. And this week, those three women, Grisha, Melissa, and Jessica, saved my existence.
So I just wanted to say... You said it was not serious. It was... But it's one of those things you need fixed quickly. And I just want to say thanks. And I hope that whoever is listening at the Canadian consulate, maybe somebody who's in a position of authority, you should know you have three people there who were outstanding.
You know, every week I wonder, who's helping Elliot this week? Who's getting him out? Who's keeping them upright? Who's keeping them afloat? Oftentimes, it's Steph and Max. Kathy Broderick comes to mind. And the good people. You and me? Dom? Well, you for sure. I probably just drag Elliot down more often than not. But now the Canadian consulate. They stepped up this week.
Did they ever? Sometimes, you're so right, Kyle. There's some days I look at this and I go, how did I get through life today? Yeah. There is really no answer. As some of my friends say, for a guy who's so smart, you really are super dumb.
That's a great way to start this. There's a lot to get to here. You're going to hear in a little bit from Jason Buchlan, Sam Constantino, to properly tee up the draft. We've got an interview with Jarmo Kekalainen, the thought line, of course, too. But why don't we start with the news that you reported on here on Thursday night and the Jason Robertson situation he is about to become an RFA in Dallas they have not found common ground there and the opportunity that was given for the Seattle Kraken to talk to Jason Robertson and as you put approximately 15 million dollars per year and he turned it down what
Yeah, so like I haven't spoken to any of the particulars yet, but I'm 100% sure on the story. So you just stick to the facts at this point in time. And from what I understand, sometime either on Wednesday or Thursday, the Dallas Stars and the Seattle Kraken agreed to a trade. that would have sent Robertson to the Kraken. I don't know what was all in the trade, but I do know that the seventh overall draft pick in Friday's draft was the key particular, really.
