Hour 2 Overdrive continues, powered by FanDuel, bringing you more ways to play your game your way. I hit another winner, Portugal, last night. And I'll have more footy bets later in the hour. Really seeing the board very clearly when it comes to the World Cup. And Canada, Morocco tomorrow on TSN, on TSN Radio. And James Duffy coming up from Houston later this hour. Nick Paul coming up in a few moments. Jason Strudwick in here, Jonas Siegel in here. We've been talking a lot about the offer sheet news where Leo Carlson signed an offer sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers five years at $18 million. And Chris Johnston, among others, tweeting out, reporting that it may not be the only offer sheet we see today.
And Kevin Weeks tweeting out that per his conversations earlier this week with sources, the Ducks were hoping to be between $10 and $12 million for Carlson and Gauthier because Carter Gauthier needs a deal as well. And also being well aware that Seneca's next in line a year from now, he's going to get a deal. So it really affects a lot of things in the league. Kind of nostalgic here, Jonas. Remember when Matthews and Marner were coming up?
I was thinking about it, yeah.
Offer sheet this and offer sheet that. No one did it. I don't know if Marner was presented with any or Willie was presented with any. Never happened, but the Leafs ended up getting the deals done in the end.
Well, and a big part of that was those guys were basically saying, we're not just going to take what's – Good for the team. We want to make money. If he goes back to Anaheim, it's not going to be a thing. No one's going to care. I know Pat Verbeek will care, but it's not like the fan base there is going to be like, this guy.
I don't know if this is even going to register in Orange County. They're stopping the presses there. If this happened up in Toronto, it would be totally different. Edmonton, totally different, clearly. But, you know, there's this viewpoint that this is, hey, Cutter Gauthier, and they're jamming him up. I look at it the opposite way. Totally.
How does Nick Paul feel about returning to his hometown team?
If I'm Gauthier, I'm like, thanks, Philly, again. Because now if this guy accepts, I'm like, well, I'm making – you've got to pay me $15 million. I'm not taking $10, you know, and that'll be interesting to see how that plays out.
And if he doesn't accept – He still has leverage because now they just lost Carlson.
Right, and now they need him even more. So it is a wild scene there in Anaheim. So more on that later in the hour. Nick Paul coming up here in a moment. I want to get to this quickly. We might have to bring Nick in while we're doing this, and then we'll continue it after. But with the Leafs, there's been so much turnover here. There's been so many moves. We haven't even had the chance to get into Teddy Bluger and – You know, Brandon Duhame. And these are depth players, right? Like some of them are going to hit. Some of them are not. You're not going to hit. You're not betting 1,000 on depth signings. It's not going to happen. But I look at, you know, the top players as the ones that are really going to have an effect on whether or not they can be a playoff team again next year.
So I'm going to throw a few things at you guys. And give me your confidence ranking between one and five. Five being the most confident. one obviously being the least. Where is your confidence ranking at that Gavin McKenna will be an impact player? These are all for next season, just next year. Gavin McKenna, an impact player.
I'll go 3.5 offensively. I think just the defensive part of the game, it takes a while. Not because he's not a good defensive player, but the players he's going to be playing against will be also very offensive-minded, and they're going to know how to find holes and cracks. I think that for him, that's going to be an ongoing thing, and it is for most of the young guys coming in.
