Ryan Rishaug 2:14

Hey Bob. Happy to be back chatting with you, buddy. I uh I couldn't help but notice uh one Connor McDavid giving you a little love today. He was asking where the new and improved Bob Soffer was. So little kudos from ninety seven for all your hard work this summer, buddy. That was nice.

Bob Stauffer 2:31

Still not done. But it was nice to get nice nice to get that. Usually it's like you really think you should have another one?

Ryan Rishaug 2:40

Well, you made a good sword about it when you were on the other side of it. So I don't mind you enjoying it while you're uh you're making the improvements and and living a good life. So everybody get on ya.

Bob Stauffer 2:50

The the problem was I was on the other side of it for about thirty years, but damn it was fun. Never too late. Never too late. Yes. All righty. Um so let's go to the mouth of the lion. Give me your thoughts on uh the Emmitton Litter's uh signing. Alex Formaton, a one year deal, eight hundred and fifty thousand league minimum. The floor is yours.

Ryan Rishaug 3:13

Yeah, I mean the first thing I'll say is that in no way am I surprised. I mean, you know, and I just reported on X that there were two to three other teams in the mix when the Oilers got their deal done. I think two others seriously and another one kinda in the mix there. So for those sort of wondering why this wasn't a PTO or why, you know, the one way deal and such You know, I I think he was getting a one way deal. I think that he was getting this deal, uh, elsewhere. Uh I don't believe the Oilers were the only team that were willing to to step up and do this. Uh but with that said, I'm not surprised that the Oilers have done this, Bob. I think the injury to Savoy. Their concern for their penalty kill i is real.

Ryan Rishaug 3:50

Stan it's one of the first things that he said to me today when when I asked him why they were doing this.
