Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This hour of Overdrive is powered by FanDuel. FanDuel, bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score.
All right, here we go, overdrive off and running. TSN 1050 on the TSN app, your home smart speaker up on TSN 5, up on YouTube Live, streaming later tonight on Crave. Brian Hazel, Doug Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, McLennan. What's going on today? What's going on?
Just rejecting massive offers around the horn. Some of the stuff I'm reading, I find... Very difficult to digest, Hazy P. Very difficult.
In Dallas, you mean?
Yeah, Jason Robertson.
Sorry, Jason Robertson.
He signed in Edmonton.
He got a deal done, right? He's happy.
Robertson reportedly turned down an offer from Seattle, eight years, $15 million per, which would launch him past... McDavid, Dreisaitl, Matthews, you know, not quite Kaprizov territory, but he decided to turn that down. I think Jeff Merrick was saying that St. Louis was kicking tires on a deal with Robertson, and he said, absolutely not. Not going to happen. So, yeah, he's a really good player.

Chapter 2: Why did Jason Robertson turn down a massive offer from the Kraken?
Maybe there's another team out there. Maybe St. Louis was willing to do it, and he said no. But maybe there's somebody else that he says, I'll go there for somewhere in the middle of that, and I have just as good a chance to win.
We'll see. We'll find out. Because Robertson needs a contract, and I think Dallas obviously would like to keep him. Really good player. Really good player.
I know, but isn't it, guys, just a slam dunk when somebody offers you that money? You could go in the gym tomorrow and, like, just – I don't want anything bad to happen to anybody. What happens – like, if somebody puts that in front of your face, I have no idea how you could possibly say – I don't care if that's in the worst place in North America.
I'm telling my agent, and my agent would tell me, you're signing the contract because he's a smart guy and he knows that you just can't say no to that. I don't get it.
$120 million.
$120 million cash.
No guy. I mean, do you kind of admire him to go, I don't want to go to Seattle and not win? Yeah, you better be careful with those words.
I'm going to owe the tab man $120 million because I'm using his terms. I shouldn't be doing that.
But if you think you have a chance to win in Dallas, then you just sign the $12 million deal. There's somewhere in the middle.

Chapter 3: What are Matthew Knies' next steps with the Maple Leafs?
There was a picture with an Oreos thing in a stall. And Joe from the Bridge counted 72 boxes of Oreos.
Joe has kids, doesn't he? He has enough time to count Oreos. Oreo boxes?
That's right. He's just trying to connect dots. He's the best in the business. Yeah, he's the best in the business, and he said there's 72 boxes of Oreos with the number one draft pick sign. Therefore, connecting the dots, Gavin McKenna. Connecting the Oreos.
How about you connect the Oreos and just be like, this guy is probably the best player. We've heard about this guy for two years. I don't think it's a shock that he'd go one. It's not because of Oreos. It could be.
Joe from the Bridge is on his game. He and I were talking, well, more so, he was mocking up different trades, and some of them were... Actually, borderline realistic, which I think is encouraging because that means Joe is starting to mature a little bit as a Leaf fan. But anyway, we'll see what Craig can tell us about that just after 5. Dregg's coming up as well.
Darren Dreger will join us on how much activity we can expect, not only tonight but throughout the weekend. Canada playing South Africa on Sunday. I guess they're down in L.A. now. Alphonso Davies, he's still got his own personal trainer, and he's kind of running a little bit. I'm not sure he's playing. I really am not sure at all that he's going to be given the green light to play. And I know...
Marsh keeps saying it. He's ready. He's going to go. We got him. I'll believe it when I see it on Sunday. But that's a big opportunity because if you can get through that, then you're into the round of 16. You're going to play the Netherlands or Morocco in that next round. It's a very tough match, but anything's possible. You get that deep into a tournament, that is very, very significant.
And the Jays lost again last night. And I'll tell you, this team, they stink right now. Like, they are really not a good baseball team. And George Springer and Vladdy Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk to an extent, although I'll give him more of a grace period because he's coming off the injury. But Springer and Vladdy are killing this team. And Gosman struggled again last night.
But I know Vladdy, we've talked about Vladdy consistently. Last year, he was very good. He was a very good player. The best player and the biggest change year over year is George Springer. Springer was their MVP last year. He set the table. He hit for power. His OPS, he almost had 1,000 OPS. He was their energy guy.

Chapter 4: What is the future of Connor Hellebuyck in Winnipeg?
Dregs, any sniffing that top ten pick would go, top five pick maybe that gets moved?
Well, there's an appetite for that, right? It feels like we've been talking about this for several days. It's not looking great that Winnipeg, as an example, you know, I've been nibbling at the Connor Hellebuck scenario, as many of us have, and where might he be the best fit, who's most interested in all of that.
And I do think that the Buffalo Sabres have been a team that has been circling around Connor Hellebuck. would you give up the fourth pick overall? You know, the pick that they acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks as part of a package. If Overdrive had been around 11 o'clock in the morning, I might have said, yeah, I think it's trending in that direction.
Now I don't, I'm not as confident in saying that. I'm not as confident in thinking that these two teams are going to be able to get something together in time for the opening round. But we'll see. I mean, I qualified every single year around this time of year by simply saying, all it takes is a phone call.
right one because you've you've nibbled at the parameters of what a trade looks like when you're talking about top end players or goaltenders so all it takes is one guy to go okay yeah you know i'm turning away from this team over here and that opportunity so i'm going to focus on you let's get this done i'm not saying it's going to happen but it could
Darren, Brady Kachuk made it clear, said, I don't want to start the season with the Ottawa Senators. Dylan Larkin has done the same with the Detroit Red Wings. Is it clear on what message Connor Halibut has sent the Winnipeg Jets? Does it mirror those other two, or is it a different message?
It's similar, I think, oh, and I'm hedging here because I don't believe that there's anything official. There's just that sense, right? And maybe it's more similar to the conversation that Brady Kachuk had with the brass of the Ottawa Senators, different than Dylan Larkin or Darnell Nurse. You know, Larkin and Nurse just formally made a trade request.
Yeah, look, I mean, Connor Hellebuck came out at the end of the year. He said what he said, how disappointed, unhappy he was. And I don't think that he has relented on that position even a little bit with the management of the Winnipeg Jets or with his teammates. I think that he's been steadfast in that. So, I mean, are we dealing in semantics? If you know that the player isn't happy...
you know when is the best time to deal with it and it's probably around now because you've got all the activity leading into the draft in free agency and on top of that That free agent pool, as we know, is getting less and less interesting on a day-by-day basis.
