We're going to be on the ice. Okay. And we're going to be doing shenanigans on the ice. If you haven't seen our video from last year, you should go watch it. Just search up our 5K on the channel. But we got to come up with our competitions that we need to do to collect points, to reduce our 5K laps that we have to do around the ice at the end. It's a whole shebang. Like, wait for it.

Maybe we can get maybe we can combine two different eras of our 5K Rainbow Railroad marathon and bring the kayak to the ice. Can we bring Steve's kayak?

0

58.439 - 67.572 Steve Dangle

What are the rules by the City of Toronto Ice Rink Association? You know what? Is Olivia Chow going to be there? She's not going to be there. About having a kayak on me.

67.592 - 74.582 Jesse Blake

I'm out to Durham, Jesse. No rules. We got to ask. So click the link.

85.25 - 99.144 Unknown

You know, I was going to start us with that bonkers Saturday night Stanley Cup game.

0

99.445 - 122.042 Jesse Blake

You could, but you could. We just found out via the Detroit Free Press what Dylan Larkin's three-team trade list is. And I, to be honest with you, I think it's, I need it. I need it in my life. So you don't know. I don't know what it is. And Jesse, you don't know. And so, and Dylan Larkin, just so everybody knows, you know, asked for a trade a while ago, but it leaked at the combine.

0

123.024 - 139.413 Jesse Blake

And, you know, I don't believe the team is thrilled about that. It would seem as though they probably are not thrilled by that. And I'm, you know, a lot of people are going, well, who did the leak? Was it Larkin's people? Well, they would have something to gain. Sure. You know who else would have something to gain?

0

140.034 - 163.404 Jesse Blake

Any other team that is in the Dylan Larkin sweepstakes to put the screws to Detroit. Because instantly, when a player has no trade protection, they're working on a trade to quietly move him out of town. Mm-hmm. What always happens is that in perception drops their value. Although him with five years left at a cost controlled number and he's 30 years old, or he's not even 30, he's 29.

163.604 - 166.507 Jesse Blake

I don't know. I think people are still going to pay a lot of money for him.

166.527 - 182.588 Adam Wylde

I don't know who it came from. I don't know. Or I do know who it didn't come from. Steve Eisenman. Yeah. No shot. Yeah. So here it is. And I just can't wait for your reaction. Hold on. Can I guess? No. I'm not allowed to guess? Okay, you go ahead. All right.

182.608 - 187.517 Jesse Blake

We need three teams from you and three teams from Justin. Vegas, Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning. Got it.

188.579 - 195.773 Steve Dangle

Oh, that's good. Minnesota, Florida. Say Nampa. Oh, no, Nashville. Okay, interesting. Interesting. All right. All right.

Chapter 3: What is Dylan Larkin's three-team trade list?

244.769 - 259.409 Jesse Blake

All right. Sure. I know CJ was saying on his show, he's like, I don't know how they get the pieces together. But if you're only limited to three teams, when I look at the packages, like, you know, Florida could offer Sam Miscavige, but they'd have to offer a lot more than Sam Miscavige.

0

259.449 - 261.071 Adam Wylde

Yeah, that's just not even close.

0

261.452 - 267.52 Jesse Blake

But I liked Yurov, Stramel, and somebody suggested it could be like Wellstead, too.

0

267.5 - 269.523 Adam Wylde

Wallstead or Gustafson.

0

269.703 - 271.545 Jesse Blake

I would not trade Wallstead now.

271.866 - 286.245 Adam Wylde

Yeah, you could pry Wallstead from my cold dead hands if I'm Minnesota. With Florida, I saw someone suggest Lundell, and I'm like, I wouldn't do it. He's so young and so ridiculously good. Look at his number.

286.566 - 286.926 Jesse Blake

Yeah.

287.53 - 288.051 Adam Wylde

That dude.

288.491 - 288.731 Jesse Blake

Yeah.

Chapter 4: What has been the impact of the expansion draft on the Vegas Golden Knights?

3765.974 - 3768.521 Jesse Blake

B, they've been vicious off the ice.

0

3768.561 - 3778.927 Steve Dangle

They were handed the greatest lottery in the history of expansion drafts by the NHL, where they just allowed Vegas to fleece the entire league for good players.

0

3778.947 - 3808.441 Adam Wylde

So there's an interesting conversation to be had here. What Vegas has done since the expansion draft. 10 out of 10. Yeah, I think it's more viciousness and just a boldness that has allowed them to keep this going. But the venture capital that started the Vegas Golden Knights was the craziest set of circumstances we've ever seen in the history of expansion. And it won't happen again.

0

3808.461 - 3825.446 Adam Wylde

Maybe beyond, hey, Winnipeg, would you like Wayne Gretzky? No? Okay, Edmonton, how about you? That's a real thing that happened, by the way. Completely nuts. When he was 17... On the Sioux Greyhounds, Kyle Dubas, you know, he misses.

0

Chapter 5: How should teams approach their strategies after the Vegas experience?

3825.867 - 3855.718 Adam Wylde

I know. Kyle Dubas missed that one. He wishes that he was born so that he could have done that. It is his fault, though. It is his fault, 100%. Most things are. But Vegas fleeced everyone so, so, so bad that they were able to – like it's still bearing fruit for them. Yeah. So Vegas – I think too many teams – I think teams need to be very careful about trying to be Vegas because –

0

3855.698 - 3869 Adam Wylde

Vegas can always buy because of the ridiculous leg up they had by doing their homework from day one. Most of you, most of your teams need to draft. Most of you need to draft well.

0

3869.22 - 3883.563 Steve Dangle

We saw with Seattle how an expansion draft is actually supposed to go. Because with the Vegas one, for some reason, every team was like, we're going to give you assets so you can pick our players. And then they were also giving up good players.

0

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Leafs' roster decisions?

3883.583 - 3892.919 Steve Dangle

Like the Florida situation where we're going to pay you to take specific guys, but then you also take our good guys. And it was just double retention for Vegas on good players.

0

3892.939 - 3896.685 Jesse Blake

Seattle could have done that, though. They said a price that was way too high.

0

3896.825 - 3904.917 Steve Dangle

Everybody learned. Everybody wasn't going to just acquiesce to this new team like they were with Vegas and Seattle was left there like a regular expansion draft.

0

3904.937 - 3913.51 Adam Wylde

They didn't have to use their brains either, which is very key. Okay, the rule is don't make a side deal. Okay, well, then we're going to take this guy.

0

3914.071 - 3921.902 Steve Dangle

Fine. Okay. Even though I'm sad about it. Fine. Yeah. And the Vegas draft 15 teams are like, okay, we're going to do a side deal. You go ahead.

3922.183 - 3927.175 Adam Wylde

And what did the fucking Leafs do? A side deal. And who'd they give up? Jared McCann.

Chapter 7: What records were set during the Stanley Cup Final?

3927.195 - 3927.836 Adam Wylde

Forty goal score.

0

3928.196 - 3928.817 Jesse Blake

Forty goal score.

0

3929.578 - 3931.981 Adam Wylde

God! This goddamn team. Yeah. Anyway.

0

3933.683 - 3953.188 Steve Dangle

Sorry, the Leafs. As I relive that. I agree with you, Adam, that I don't think Rogers is going to take a rebuild. They're not. Now that they are going to be sole owners of the Leafs. It should be an organizational ethos where we got to keep buying no matter what because we don't have a choice here right now for the next two years at least. Plus, our owner isn't going to accept that.

0

3953.168 - 3964.576 Jesse Blake

Yeah, and I'd also use that Colorado pick. I mean, you could pick next year. You sure can. Absolutely. And hey, maybe Colorado is so injured that they have a Florida year. You never know. It's possible. I would like to keep it.

3964.697 - 3965.9 Steve Dangle

It is top 10 protected.

3965.92 - 3970.13 Jesse Blake

Top 10 protected because Colorado is smart. But I... Keep it.

3970.15 - 3972.434 Steve Dangle

I didn't know those were allowed to top 10 protected.

3972.454 - 3972.734 Adam Wylde

Oh, no.
