AJ from AJ's Pizza on East Broadway joins us now on the Halford & Breff Show on Sportsnet 650. What up, AJ?
Epic times, man. Crazy, crazy times.
Okay. I have three things that we need to get into here, all of equal importance. One, rest in peace, AJ's Habs bar. Yeah. Say hello.
It was a nice run.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Stanley Cup Finals for the Jets?
It was a nice run.
Say hello to AJ's Knicks. I saw a video from the other night for game one. It's about as electric a basketball environment that you can get in Vancouver right now.
How excited are you? It's like outside Madison Square Garden, basically.
You know what? I think yesterday or the other day you had said this, like, I like everybody is cheering. It's wild. Everybody is cheering for them. It's awesome. Everybody, obviously, if not a Spurs fan or but yeah, it's just something I have to be honest, like, you know, I'm going to be 55. I've kind of never seen anything like it.
Okay, before we get to the big unveil here, another smaller one. In addition to becoming a Knicks bar, AJ's is also dropping a new menu. I got an exclusive look at it because I'm a very important person. So tell us real quick about the new menu at AJ's.
You did. Yeah, we're dropping a new menu, which is going to have an exclusive bar pies added to it, which is amazing.

Chapter 4: How does David Amber assess the Stanley Cup Finals matchup?
Some other features. And if you don't see something that you've ordered, don't worry. It's off the menu. It's still there. And it's dropping this weekend, which is going to be awesome. And yeah, I'm going into the mouth of madness, though, on Sunday.
And this is the big one. AJ is so enamored by the energy from the Knicks crowd that he's going to New York this weekend. Now, you've got a buddy that runs a big bar in New York. What is the vibe going to be like? Because obviously, that's going to be insane in game three.
He said he said verbatim. I spoke to him this morning. He's like, OK, so just so you know. We need security at my place, and you're going to know the guys who are doing it, and we're going to be velvet-robed off in one area. He's just said it's been awesome. He's just said he's never seen anything like it. I mean, we've been through the 86 Mets. I don't want to bring up 94.
But he said there's 600 people in his place and 600 people outside of his place.
Chapter 5: What key moments have defined the Stanley Cup Finals so far?
That's amazing, buddy. I'm so happy for you that you get to go back and check this out as a Brooklyn native and everything else. So enjoy the trip. Enjoy this weekend. For those that don't know, you can go tonight, obviously, to AJ's and check out the basketball. Tomorrow night, Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. And then happy hour all day Sunday. AJ, enjoy the trip, buddy. We'll talk again soon.
Thank you guys so much. Yeah, enjoy the weekend.
Have a good one, dude. That's AJ from AJ's Pizza on East Broadway. Go check him out. Nick's Bar, new menu, all that good stuff. Do we have Jim on the line yet, or are we still working on that one? Jim Tote's going to join us out of Winnipeg in just a moment here. There's a lot of kind of interesting stuff going on in Winnipeg throughout the week, and so we were able to book Jim on a Friday.
There's something you never hear. I know, right?
Chapter 6: How does the injury of Braden McNabb impact the series?
A week worth of interviews and interesting stuff out of Winnipeg. But I know that we booked him originally. He was toying with the idea. We'll just throw it out there just for transparency's sake. He was toying with the idea of maybe the Winnipeg Jets potentially make a deal for Elias Pettersson. It would be a fit Winnipeg.
Right. And look, this isn't so much about Elias Pettersson. This is more about... Where the Jets are because, you know, Pedersen trade. I don't know if he waives no move clause to go to Winnipeg. Would he be the first player ever to do it? Anyway, continue. Did Nate Schmidt do it?
Then he quickly was like, that was a mistake. Please move me.
Yeah.
Do we have Jim on the line? Let's go down to the Able Auctions hotline. Our next guest, CJOB Winnipeg in radio.

Chapter 7: What are the latest developments regarding Dylan Larkin's trade request?
Jim Toth joins us here on the Halford and Brough show on Sportsnet 650. Morning, Jim. How are you?
Gentlemen, I'm well, thank you. Last time I was on, we tried to get Brock Besser to come to Winnipeg and now we're going to try and get Elias Patterson. Anybody else you got there?
So did you actually talk yourself into that idea? I think it's a great one.
I did, actually. And the reason I brought it up is this is an imperative summer for the Winnipeg Jets, in my opinion. It's not one of the summers that Kevin Chevalier, when he has made moves, has the next two to three years in mind. I think he's got an offseason to get this team back in the playoffs. And so I think he's got to take some risks and he's got to think outside the box.
And then you add in the fact that nobody does want to come waive their no moves to come to Winnipeg. They've got to take some risks, and they've got to try and apprise some guys like Elias Pettersson out of Vancouver, in my opinion. Do you want me to get into that or what my idea is?
Sure, yeah.
Go for it.
That's what we brought you on.

Chapter 8: How do the Red Wings' management decisions affect their future?
Look, other than my cousin Jeff and Whitehorse, who listens to you daily and is a massive Canucks fan and annoys the crap out of Dan Murphy on social media. I don't like I'm not into where every player is at and everything like that. Obviously, the Quinn Hughes deal was big. And then then I kind of wonder what the future of it is. And then, you know, where the Canucks are sort of.
But I don't know much about Elias Pettersson or how happy he is. I know that at the end of the season, he said he didn't want to leave Vancouver and all that. But to me, what's changed around his situation from afar is the fact that Vancouver's in the situation they are. So, A, does he want to be there for the remainder of this contract?
Um, and does he want a fresh start, but also be like, does he want to go through a rebuild process and be a part of that? So I just thought of the idea of look, if, if the jets need a second line center and in two to three years, probably that center would be a first line center. The Robert Thomas's of the world come up names like that, but that's a division rival.
And I don't know if they have the cachet and the sort of assets to go get a player like Robert Thomas and then also convince him. So Elias Pettersson comes to mind. Like, this is a guy that I would think if he looked at the top six here and wanted a fresh start and wanted to not be on a rebuilding team, but on a team that has, you know, five really good core pieces.
I need some secondary ones that he could come in here and potentially, if this is the lineup they're going to go with, play with a Cole Perfetti or be on this power play and sort of, you know, in two to three years when Mark Shifley is 34, 35, be the number one center here in Winnipeg with a Kyle Connor and a Gabriel Velarde. I don't know if he thinks that way.
I don't know anything about Elias Patterson, but those are the kinds of risks that I think that if they wanted to swallow the 11 million plus and They could get them relatively cheap and fix their second line center part. Now, with every player I discuss here, it all doesn't matter. Do they want to come? And that's the problem, right? I know it's Winnipeg.
I know a lot of players would rather play anywhere else. I know where they are in the no trademark, no trade list when it comes to the city.
But I also think that there are players like Pedersen that if you wanted a fresh start and that ticket is not going to be swallowed by Vancouver for any amount and he wants to go to a contender, Winnipeg would be at the forefront because there aren't a lot of Dallas's, Colorado's that want to eat that salary.
But yet the teams that could eat it are nowhere near the playoffs and are in no better situation than Vancouver. other than Winnipeg. If Winnipeg was willing to eat it and bring them on board, and even if you had 50 points, that's a huge improvement from any second line center they had here last year.
