0:00
Um, all right. Let's let's look at some
0:02
offer sheets then here, Joe. Who
0:04
>> Let's go. Who's who's towards the the
0:08
I know Fantilli would make a great
0:10
flyer, but I think Leo Carlsson would be
0:12
a better fit for this team just
0:14
like just on the vibes. Also, what an
0:17
incredible bit that the Flyers take
0:22
They have a good working relationship
0:23
with Verbeek, clearly. And then they're
0:25
like, "Yeah, we're going to take your
0:26
franchise cornerstone in an offer sheet.
0:29
See if you can match this, you
0:35
I know you think they would match, and
0:36
you're probably right. But, the Ducks
0:38
are cheap. We know how Verbeek deals
0:40
with his RFAs. Like, maybe they do
0:43
match, but Verbeek is just going to be
0:45
salty about Carlsson trying to leave in
0:47
the first place. Like
0:49
I don't know, man. It
0:51
I feel like the Blue Jackets would be
0:52
more likely to match Fantilli than the
0:55
Ducks would be to match Carlsson. That's
0:57
that's basically what it comes down to.
1:00
Yeah, I'm looking at the Ducks cap
1:02
situation. Like, they have a lot of
1:04
decently big contracts. McTavish, Troy
1:07
Terry, Granlund all at 7 million. Ton of
1:09
space, though. Jackson LaCombe's going
1:11
up to 9 million next year.
1:14
Um, you know, they have Trouba's, John
1:16
Carlsson, and Gudbranson all coming off
1:18
the books. That's 20 million, but they
1:20
have to sign some right-hand defenseman,
1:23
Bring those guys Bring those guys back.
1:25
Cutter Gauthier, they have to um give a
1:28
contract to as well. But, like, I feel
1:30
like they're If McTavish was in better
1:33
standing with them, and even He was a
1:35
healthy scratch in the playoffs. He's
1:38
Like, Carlsson is their guy. The
1:40
Carlsson stepped up in the playoffs.
1:44
that they wouldn't match it, but I would
1:46
I would definitely want Danny Briere to
1:48
explore that cuz I think Leo Carlsson,
1:50
21 years old, would absolutely fit the
1:56
It would be a great bit cuz like the
1:57
Florida Panthers basically acquired that
1:59
four of the No, three of the top five
2:01
draft picks of the 2014 draft. It would
2:04
be really funny if Danny Briere went
2:05
after the 2023 draft and like tried to
2:08
acquire all those guys. Um
2:12
No, I I would love to see them offer
2:15
sheet Carlson. But again, it takes two.
2:18
You can't just throw an offer sheet at a
2:19
player and then it's done. They have to
2:22
sign it. Like they have to be willing to
2:25
throw that grenade into their locker
2:27
room and into their uh front office and
2:29
be like, "Yeah, you guys aren't paying
2:31
me and I don't want to be here. So, I'm
2:33
sign with another team." Um
2:37
But yeah, I Are Are there any other big
2:39
RFA centers this summer? Like worth the
2:43
What is it? 11.9 million would be the
2:45
upper threshold of that two firsts, a
2:48
Yeah, I mean, you got
2:50
Connor Bedard. Connor Bedard's a an RFA
2:54
Um I That would be Look, Chicago would
2:56
You could offer Connor Bedard 20 million
2:58
and Chicago would match because they
3:00
burned their franchise to the ground to
3:02
draft him specifically. He's going to
3:04
have them over a barrel for his next
3:06
contract because they cannot they cannot
3:09
just let him go. Like
3:13
Kyle Davidson's rebuild would fail if
3:16
Connor Bedard walks. So. Yeah. He's kind
3:18
of He's kind of the next Kirill
3:20
Kaprizov. Like they What are you going
3:22
to do? What are you going to do? You
3:23
could just got to pay this kid.
3:26
Uh Matthew Poitras from uh from Boston
3:29
not not not a top line center, but he
3:31
could be someone that you don't offer
3:33
sheet, but maybe you go to Boston and be
3:34
like, "Hey, is this a guy that um
3:37
you're willing to move?" But I think
3:38
Fantilli Fantilli could be interesting
3:41
because like he's not quite like cuz I
3:43
think Carlson has put up better numbers
3:46
uh so far. Uh Leo Carlsson 67 points in
3:48
70 games this season, 45 points the
3:51
season before. Uh Fantilli 59 this
3:54
season, 54 the year before. Um the Blue
4:00
Charlie Coyle six uh 6 million for I
4:02
think 6 years, which is a crazy contract
4:05
there. I think Provorov that 8 and 1/2
4:07
million for like ever that forever.
4:10
Thank god the Flyers didn't sign that
4:11
contract. My god. They got Werenski 9.5
4:14
million, Severson 6.2, Faulk 4.1.
4:19
Um do they have to pay have to pay Cole
4:21
Sillinger? That's that's fine. Uh
4:25
Marchenko is an RFA next summer, so that
4:29
interesting. I imagine they value
4:32
Marchenko a bit higher than they value
4:34
Fantilli, but like offer sheets that
4:36
offers I I think so. Marchenko feels to
4:38
be like more of like a the heart star
4:40
player uh of their team. It's just offer
4:43
sheets just don't offer sheets don't
4:44
happen. They're fun to talk about, just
4:46
like it's fun to talk about like, you
4:48
know, top five picks being traded. But
4:50
The thing about like the Fantilli offer
4:53
sheet idea is, you know, we talk about
4:56
Carlson, you ruin that working
4:58
relationship. Blue Jackets are in the
5:00
same division as the Flyers. If you
5:01
could undermine them, that is like
5:05
that's some gamesmanship. A little a
5:07
little bit more than going out to the
5:08
Western Conference and trying to steal a
5:10
player. You try and take someone from
5:11
within your division, who that's a
5:16
And it would be a big swing, too, cuz
5:17
then you would give them what? Two or
5:19
three first round picks depending how
5:20
much the how Yeah, two first round picks
5:23
and a second or whatever depending on
5:24
how much money it is. So, that could uh
5:27
that could backfire a bit, but
5:29
uh GMs they they have a they have a
5:32
silent agreement to to not do offer
