He was miserable by the end of the day.
Chapter 2: Why was this year's NHL Trade Deadline so quiet?
It just wasn't a lot going on, and I think I have the biggest gripe of the company.
Well, that was... Outrageous.
So they were doing this then and now. I guess it's a big trend online on TikTok, Instagram. I haven't seen it.
Yeah, I'm not on TikTok.
Where, you know, it's a picture from your past, and a lot of it is AI-generated, clearly. Of course, yeah. And that's what TSN was doing. And, you know, Duffy's I thought was pretty flattering.

Chapter 3: Which team made the biggest splash during the trade deadline?
Yours was cool. You're in your goalie equipment. Oh, it was in Carolina, his famous black-eye picture. And they used the most recent photo shoot where he looked great. Look at this from me. Who are those people?
I don't know.
Both of them are, like, the guy on the right looks like Xander Shoffley. Yeah. Or a guy who's been smoking a lot of cigars with his windows up. The guy on the left looks kind of like Sheldon Keefe. Yeah. But awful.
Chapter 4: How did the Leafs fare in their trades of Bobby McMann and Scott Laughton?
It was outrageous.
Like, the worst AI pictures ever.
So disrespectful, too. Like, why did they choose that body type? Like, it's like... Exactly.
Well, and here's what happened, all right? So they sent an internal email. saying, can you send us a picture from your past? And I made the mistake of not jumping on that.
I never got that email.
Yes, yes. So I got an email. I think it was Mocker that sent it to a bunch of people. You might have been on it. You know you never use... I swear you don't use your work email. I do. Oh, the amount of times I was like, I didn't get that email. I'm looking at your email address.
I would promise you that I did not get that email or else I would have sent a better picture.
Well, they probably trusted yours because they're like, you're an NHL player.
Yeah, you can pull up Getty Images or whatever.

Chapter 5: What is Brad Treliving's assessment of the trade deadline outcomes?
That's a jam job of epic proportions.
Are they trying to force you out there? They want you to waive your no-move clause?
That might be what. I just got Pareko'd. I might have got something like that where they're basically like, we'd rather you're not here anymore. Pushing me out of TSN.
You're right. Speaking of Pareko, that's a weird situation. You're obviously on the insider side where you get information a lot where you can't reveal your sources because you talk to people a lot and they trust you. That one was a weird, like I'm reading again, consider the source, but you read online saying like St.
Louis was pissed because they almost, like they did an internal, like who leaked that type of thing, and they're claiming nobody from their side leaked that. Like that's a weird, and it put the player in a bad spot, and ultimately like the deal died.
Well, nobody wants this. I mean, even, like, this was Dregs' report initially, right? He broke the story. He wasn't wrong. I mean, there was a deal done, conditional on Greco waving. Like, no one's disputing that. But, you know, even when you're doing our side of the job, like, you don't want to become part of the story, right?
Like, basically, the question you're asking, Noodles, is, like, how does this happen? And, you know, Dregs would just rather break the news that everything goes smoothly and the guy's playing in Buffalo on Tuesday night or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, so you're right.

Chapter 6: What challenges does the Leafs' management face moving forward?
It's a tough one for Colton, I'm sure, number one. But it's not great for the Blues. It's not great for the Sabres either. Now they're having to defend something. It's not their fault.
But there's so many. Once talks start, as we all know, you talk to people in the league. There's agents. There's family members. There's so many people that are connected to players and the league. It's that six degrees of separation. You can't really figure out where it came from by the time it's got too many tentacles.
And you want to know the truth, and I'm just reflecting on this after the heat of the day. Even if it wasn't that busy, it's still busy on your phone, right?
Right, right.
It's getting sloppier than ever in a sense because information travels so fast. We're talking about trades right now that aren't even approved yet. Right. Like Brad Trelipping, I just caught the end of his thing there with the reporters. He's saying their grades are still in the queue.
So there would have been a time 20 years ago that that wouldn't, you know, it just wouldn't all be out there yet. But it's hard when players are getting informed, when multiple people know in a front office, as you mentioned, agents get involved. You know, there's just... There's a lot of different ways we all find out about these things.
Think about it. It gets registered with the league. There could be somebody in that room that's registering it that has a body.
I wish I knew that guy a little better.
There's so many different layers to this. We were complaining when we came on at 4 o'clock. Make the queue shorter. Is there one person answering the phone and doing every trade? That's the one thing. Don't you think each team should have a designated queue where you can make that process a lot quicker in registering with the league? Because...

Chapter 7: How does the new CBA impact team strategies this season?
Hey, guys. How are you doing? Doing okay. So, you know, we played your press conference, and you were talking about the market kind of dictates the way things are going to play out. How would you describe your deadline based on what you were hoping to accomplish?
Well, we were hoping to garner, I would tell you, more young assets. You know, we put a plan in place recently. probably just leading up into the Olympic break. And as you do every year, there's lots of communication with the teams, trying to get a sense of what they're doing, making sure they're clear on what your direction is, what your plans are, things that you'd like to accomplish. So,
Our goal going in was to be as active as we could to regain as many young assets as we possibly could. And ultimately, you know, you've got to have you got to have, you know, an interest level to to whatever extent possible.
um on your players and uh you know at the end of the day the market dictates you know what play what teams want what they what they need um and ultimately what they're prepared to pay for so tree we were listening to your your press conference there and you were laying it out what the market speaks and what was it saying all of that type of stuff
Could you feel leading up to it that it was a changing market as far as maybe assets on the market, teams that were more in, for lack of a better word, sell mode, or players that were more available that you didn't expect leading up to it?
Well, there's always, Noodles, there's always, at this time of year, there's always expect the unexpected, right? But we had a pretty good idea coming in. There's certainly some teams that were going to wait and see how they came out of the break. in terms of where they would be. It might not necessarily be in a full sell mode or full buy mode, but they may do a little bit less.
We felt pretty comfortable that there's going to be a lot of players on the market. At the end of the day, it still comes down to You know, it still comes down to what their needs are, what they're prepared to pay for. You know, I was asked one of the questions today. You know, we were probably the biggest difference, especially in the last couple years.
And there certainly was some instances of this, but there wasn't the need or the requirement for a lot of teams to retain money or to move money. Obviously, some rule changes with the double retention process has changed. But there's more money in the system. And those teams that are acquiring players, there was more cap space available than there normally was.
So those are all the types of things we were looking to try to accomplish. But short order, I would probably say there was more... There was more players in the market than, you know, even going back to a year ago or in recent years. But also always it comes down to fit, right? You have a certain player that you're looking to move or have an interest in moving.
