🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

[Music] [Music] all right we’re back again Juds buds episode 142 there’s been one number 43 in Minnesota Wild history so it’s Wayne grety plus Tom wison yep that he’s on the wild uh Warren Peters uh fun fat from 2011 to 2012 I guess played like 60 something games I think uh but whatever as always your host zjy by bye my good buddy Mr at state of hoppy hoppy how we doing I’m gonna one up your claim there and we’re going to go Gret plus gabri plus Numan wow okay I did not see that coming yeah suck it nerd uh we’re we’re giving her we’re gonna continue to power through after just recording two hours that dropped last week why not do more now H why not do we want to lead in we’ve got three kind of head of what we’re going to talk about you want to start more like Prospect round do you want to talk Minnesota Wild or specifically Marco Rossi uh doesn’t really we maybe we start Minnesota Wilds all right well well Minnesota Wild are hurt and by now for all we know over the weekend they’re more hurt who knows um but Rodin e loo like it’s not great and it actually is funny enough that this was spurred from our last recording When you said basically that Jake Middleton is slowly working himself up the uh chart of replaceable players that you do not want getting hurt right now so we just said let’s make a list let’s rank the players that we don’t want getting hurt in order and we’re going to kind of do it off the cuff here but I I I feel like there are two players that are firmly in the discussion for the one spot do you feel like there’s more than two or do you feel like it’s a a gimme that like one of those two is a firm lock as the one I would probably say yeah I mean there’s two that are far ahead of anyone else to be honest okay so who are you taking of those two as your one oh man because I think we’re gonna have different answers I I think I’m gonna actually and I oh never mind when you whenever you start like that we’re gonna agree when I first thought about this I was going in a different in the other direction but I do think at this point actually capriso is going to be my number one oh we don’t agree I knew you’re gonna go gust ofon so what are the wild doing this year without a goalie there’s so many games may be C and again that’s not to diminish what kro COV has done like he is firmly leading the heart trophy debate right now but goddamn cost ofon has been more than we could have asked for and it’s been so critical and especially as we’re dealing with some of these other injuries like he’s all that more important now again you’re splitting hairs it’s 1 a 1B I would pick Gus but I have no problem with anyone saying Capri off here yeah I don’t think we need to spend much time on it like those are the two obvious ones I don’t think anyone’s going to argue with us on either of them the real debate then goes to number three where do you fall on number three and it it can be among the the players who are currently injured as well um but like who is the third player on the team as far as like we we can’t lose this guy well and I mean just real quick though before we move on from the gust vers capriso thing the one thing I really wasn’t expecting this year is the discrepancy in games played between flurry and Guston so like on one hand I’m sitting there like well flurry hasn’t lost in regulation his one loss was in overtime but he’s played six [ __ ] games like yeah he’s at a 905 with a 264 so like that would also tip it probably more towards Gus than COV in the first place but when I just look at what Capri’s doing the fact that he’s like probably the heart front runner right now he’s got 15 more points than the next closest guy and like he’s doing it regardless of who he’s playing with you take out that scoring element combined with like the hits they’re taking defensively with how many guys keep getting hurt and who knows what happens with like a guy like Spurgeon who’s had that long he’s playing really [ __ ] well right now obviously he’s healthy but like he had a little bit of an injury scare and you just look at guys like him barl bagoan playing big minutes or bigger minutes than we probably were anticipating coming into the year like if you take that Top Line scoring out in capriso I that’s why landed there yeah but it is tough to like gauge was like the fact that flurry’s only played six [ __ ] games this year so for me where like I split the Harris and lean to Gus I think the wild are more built like let’s just say that the only player you lose is either capriso or Gus I think this is a team that’s more equipped to win a 2-1 game than a 65 game yeah because you lose Gus you’re playing the 65 boat race you lose capriso let’s try and squeak out a 2-1 win that just feels more like what Bill Garen has built if you don’t have capris off right but again splitting haris who comes in at number three for you or how many players are in the discussion for like this next tier since we’ve firmly established Gus and capriso as the top tier I think not like anywhere from two to four guys that could probably be in this next tier yeah I go between three and four and I’m not including guys that are already hurt by the way not Al so you’re not including any guys that are already hurt then I’m thinking one I probably got yeah three or four I I would say three but three or four yeah and given and this is a again this is assuming neither or also injured but I do think this point I think at this point now I’m going I think I do go Middleton here with how well he’s played this year huh and this is assuming that you that you also not losing and goodbye with all the injuries that they already have totally Jake Middleton I mean he’s got 30 points in 25 games he’s six on the team and scoring he’s playing 21 minutes a night defensively he’s shutting guys down like he’s become a critical critical yeah I mean the what are you gonna do with you don’t have the quotes to thank you um I think I ultimately lean towards midson just over Matt baly before we okay but so before we even like finish out like who’s in the tier you said three or four guys give me the four I want to see if we’re aligned on this or not Middleton baly Rossy Faber okay is that your order or just saying names first instinct is to go in that order I might switch Rossi and Faber I would definitely switch Rossi and Faber and I really I get what you’re saying with Middleton and I I agree with the ration now I still think Middleton changes if he doesn’t have the right guys to lean on like losing a Faber who’s munching a ton of those minutes changes what Middleton’s doing now if you just like put it in a vacuum and say Middleton’s role changes in no way because Faber’s out then I’m okay with your argument but the trickle down effect I’m GNA put Faber ahead of him and I even would put Baldi ahead but like very minimal separation I think rossy’s the one that like I love Marco Rossi I will defend him to the end of time he’s arguably not in this tier for me he’s like right on the edge he’s either the last guy in or the first guy out yeah so it’s interesting too like um because when I I think part of the reason I even had like I put Middleton there like ahead of those guys is a little bit of recency bias probably where like last few games again aside from the [ __ ] Media stuff and this like the quote machine that he is like he’s just like not only like is he putting up more numbers than I would have anticipated I mean he’s on track to shatter his like single season Point like total record for himself um but so I think that probably has something to do with the fact that I put him there and I mean has he been injured like has he had any like big injuries since he got here or he got to Minnesota I always say here and I’m like I don’t live in Minnesota yet yet yeah yet yeah no he hasn’t he’s missed before this season he missed I think four games um and so I think that maybe that again the fact that he has though hang on I think there’s a player that we disrespected here that I think slots in above Rossi and is firmly in this tier well there’s another one that I was gonna bring up that’s like slowly just given how it’s gone and he’s stayed healthy again like Spurgeon yeah Spurgeon absolutely I think Spurgeon Spurgeon has been really good and it’s weird that people still want to say that spurgeon’s been bad or isn’t good and a hot take that I had last week on fellowship with a rank not that he should make it but I think there should have been more discussion around spurgeon’s candid to be one of the guys on Team Canada I know that he’s not s feet tall but like he’s played freaking good since he came back right he’s been real good and I mean again he got hurt a little bit and like oh my God it was sound like one things like we don’t know what it is sure but if you want to go toe-to-toe with the the dirt bag kachuck why not bring in the guy that’s gon to like chop off and kill his tendons yeah fair enough just [ __ ] takes Brady’s down on the ice Spurgeon goes down and just bites is a Kell’s off yeah um but yeah I think we’re pretty much in line on that though yeah and again so like I want to at least mention that part about Middleton just given like I do think it’s just been like how well he’s played the last like probably two weeks he’s just been a [ __ ] animal all of the ice and everything and then you know I was feeling the same thing about Rossy by the way but then like the reason that I put him in this tier is because outside of like the obvious capriso Baldi thing they really do struggle for offense as far as far as like the I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say middle or bottom six um but like as far as guys that can generate points regardless of who they’re playing with and like Rossi again he can be a ghost for a period or two yeah and then boom all of a sudden he assists on the OT winner the other night uh against Vancouver and I’m like if you don’t if you lose the guy who like regardless of who he’s played with has put up just like just shy Point per game numbers then I think that’s why I end up including him in this tier because it’s like again like Hines would like bench him for for [ __ ] like five shifts next shift he’s out there get gets another goal or gets an assist or whatever it is and like big goals big assists like he’s come up in big moments um and just like given the fact that like we mentioned this last episode last week AKA two hours ago uh the fact the big sign in the off season has one assist in 25 games and like you’re looking for any kind of secondary offense the fact that Rossy can just produce regardless of who who his linemates are I think that’s why I end up having him like pretty firmly in this tier but like just given the given the fact that I do recognize it’s like at the same time like there’s an argument like hey does he belong there but like for me yeah just the fact that he’s able to produce the way he’s producing out of nothing is something that you don’t really have a lot of in this lineup that’s that’s very fair am I fair to say that no one else that’s currently healthy really Falls onto this kind of list and it’s really Broan and E who would both probably be top five on the list yeah I think so would be number three for me yeah and brodin’s probably four or five based on how he’s played um the one I’ll give an honorable mention to who who would you Peg as like your next guy who’s not on the list but like deserves Commendation so I feel like there’s like two or three that could be discussed but there’s one that I’m very Kean I feel like you’re going to go against me for ComEd the comedic element there’s two okay well I’m not the comedic element they’ve produced recently and they’ve been just like solid contributors on whatever line they’re on despite like the points not jumping on Freddy goodro with how well he’s played recently now he’s got 14 points in 25 games and like Joe Hansson has points in like seven of eight like dear Lord but the one I go I think I end up leaning towards like uh Felino see I figured you would say Felino and I respect it Dean Chism has been a [ __ ] rockar he’s been so good he’s been so so [ __ ] if he can keep playing that way and we can get a healthy Blue Line like holy [ __ ] like do the wild all of a sudden have like a top three blue line in the league like Middleton Faber Spurgeon broin Chisum insert sixth guy maybe it ends up being e like yeah granted I don’t know if that ever happens because I don’t think they’ll take bagoan out of the lineup but like even even if bogo’s the the six guy like Hi how are you oh I actually that reminds me once you brought up bagoan uh so we were laughing about the titles that Isa throws on these so like one of the streamyard ones for him and Brett’s next thing it is so in all caps actually next thing or the thing that they’re doing probably live right now is we’re recording this they are starting right now actually literally starting right now um uh they haven’t started yet because I’m pretty sure Isa streams it through my account and I’m looking right now on Twitter and it has not started but oh for 935 either way analytics explained that was in all caps David yurich trade is Zack M Goan that bad oh my God it’s funny man I I actually like I spent a lot of time thinking through and being like why are you doing this and I tried to coach Isa on it and explain how like Capt block should be used to like emphasize words appropriately like is if you were talking and he always told me he understood and then like it never sunk in and I just stopped caring because it’s now just like a funny thing for me and like I know is’s going to listen to this and I don’t care because he knows that this is how I feel but like yeah Isa will never figure out caps lock and he’ll also never care he has zero shame glands in his body he blows up the group chat with fight videos that no one comments on or cares about and he doesn’t give a [ __ ] and I respect the hell out of it yeah no it rocks I love it so yeah um all right well that’s a good good tiar breakdown um um yeah if literally anyone that we just talked about gets hurt we’re in for a tough go I would say um all right well next we’ve got to talk then about uh it might not be weekly but it’ll be most weeks now Marco Rossi trade possibilities I do not want him traded let’s be clear I am trying to speak this out of existence I’m trying to reverse jinx this [ __ ] and hey if we come up with a couple of like soft Landings where fans would be okay with a trade then at least we can like kind of cope together this is not me advocating for a trade this is me saying Bill Garen seems like he doesn’t want to keep Marco Rossi around so let’s come up with ways that we could not totally hate our lives when it happens and mine actually came from Z’s boy cam Robinson making his video post about how there’s Whispers that Dallas might want to go after Evy monin we got ltir for SE again that makes the money work they have you know obviously you’d have to throw in some draft picks they’ve got young studs like Wyatt Johnston they’ve got you know Logan stankov and whatever if you’re willing to part with those kind of pieces maybe it’s uh uh Thomas Harley whatever um but I don’t get the the vibe and he made this same comment like malan probably doesn’t want to go to Dallas doesn’t know anyone there comfortable in Pittsburgh totally content retiring in Pittsburg even though he’s frustrated right now with how the team’s playing I replied and basically said that I will see his Sean ltir and raise him a Rodin ltir this being on broin actually going forward with surgery which I know has been discussed as a possibility if he goes on ltir and you have more than enough then to bring malan in we are probably I would say I got to think we are the number one destination if Malin could pick where he went maybe I don’t know if the runs deep enough or what it would be I’d be interested to know if he wants to go to Washington and like Center oetkin as he breaks the record I don’t know if they’re boys or if they hate each other at this point where that sits but Billy Garen and Mark Andre flurry here make it real easy and comfortable for him to come over plus being guaranteed to Center Carell capriso I think malan is Will willing to wave Marco rousi is immediately the guy that you have to have be kind of the front of that trade what do you think needs to be included or is it just a one for one if it’s Rossi and malan like what do you think a trade looks like that is centered on Marco Rossi and of gny Malin it’s so tough to gauge because I I’m at the point now where I actually have no idea what other teams like how they value Marco Rossi and along with that if you’re parting ways with Marco Rossi not getting anything that would like be around in three or four years really like the first time you’ve gone out and like really drafted a guy like Rossy who could potentially be a top six center for years and years and years in Minnesota had the P 2022 draft but no I’m saying like at the time like yeah godd damn it um like the fact like the idea of parting ways with Marco Rossi and then not getting anything futur related sure that I don’t like that um if Genny Malin would be a very fun player to have here and the fact that he’s still producing ridiculous offense and the fact that like yeah like you were mentioning like the guys he could be playing with the fact that Billy Garrett’s here the fact that him and flurry are absolute boys and he literally tweeted the crying Emoji when uh flurry was taken by Vegas in the expansion draft um it’s a fun fit that makesense just so weird it’s so weird but also like this is like I want more right that’s what makes it a good trade it’s just like the freaking zooker trade both teams are like I don’t think we got enough that’s when you know it’s a fair trade and it’ll be the exact same scenario too where like I was so conflicted when that trade happened I loved zooker loved Addison seeing them switch places was like jarring but at the same time I bought both jerseys right away and I would absolutely do the same thing here this would be that on steroids and if Genny Malin is not some like dwindling old man like he’s got at least like this year and another year of good hockey in him like the guy is a Difference Maker when he’s on his game and him and capr off could be terrifying and the reason you do this is one garen’s not keeping RI he’s made the decision he’s moving on and you want to push the chips in quick this solves both those things and gets you like a reasonable value and again it’s not going to hurt ticket sales to bring of gny Malin in here for two or three years like that that works well it gives you time to usher in yov gives you yet another guy to Mentor in denila yov I just could see that working for so many reasons and again Marco Rossi going in as a Young Center to like begin Kyle dubis youth movement over there makes a ton of sense too it I don’t know it it just makes way too much sense to me if broin went on LT and you wanted to make that kind of Swing of course we both know it’ll end up being Brock Nelson instead of of gny Malin but whatever but I I would like I am a penguins fan and I definitely want to see the wild succeed I fully sign off on this trade for both sides to your point both sides would want more that tells me it’s a good deal throw in a pick or something for either side if you think that it’s tilted slightly but I like if Rossy has to leave and if malin’s leaving Pittsburgh I love this yeah I mean and again like the big thing that we always mention if if like if it really is a foregone conclusion that the Marco Rossy trades happening if that’s happening in season you have like that cannot be a trade that you make only to get futures right you know so it would have to be someone that immediately steps in and plays one to see like it like it has to be yeah so in that realm it makes it’s just so funny because like one’s very young one’s I mean tech for for like athlete very old yeah I know right uh one is like I show you that picture Rosy’s 5 foot pen like it’s so funny how like so much about them is different and yet like you’re trying to figure out who would be asking for more a TR um it’s just so funny I need to find this now did you did I ever show you the image that I made of uh when we were talking about it you’re like I need to see malin’s face on Hoppy’s baby’s body oh God did I ever show you what I made no now I need to find oh here it is I’m going to real quick um all right take a second and uh continue talking while I get this exported but I’m going to re add this here and throw it on the screen because it’s fantastic yeah all right so while you do that every time since this is gonna end up becoming a somewhat regular uh thing that happen or like a segment I cannot emphasize enough unless the return is so lopsided in Minnesota’s favor I regardless of what the return is I will be I will feel very uneasy and not great about a Marco Rossy trade in any way shape or form again unless it’s like oh it’s Mick David fasi one for one obviously not that specifically but like if it’s that lopsided then it’s like okay you have to do that oh my God that is why is it look insane but also not as horrific as I thought it was it doesn’t look as insane as you’d expect I’m like yeah that’s a real person this this is why everyone needs to go to the YouTube channel the soda pod subscribe this is the content you come for malin’s face on a baby’s body with a bow tie suspenders and arm roll his head is his head is the same just just smaller than the rest of the body like toe to shoulder that is I wow okay holy [ __ ] um my God it’s the content you didn’t know you needed man that [ __ ] my life up but either way I cannot emphasize enough the fact that like not only what I was mentioning before about like the first time that they actually went out and got like in the draft a guy that’s like holy [ __ ] like this could be a potential top six center for 20 years in the NHL and then like but even beyond that the path that he’s been on to get to where he is now it feels crazy that once he overcomes every obstacle possible has the breakout First full season in the NHL and is now on Pace to like almost double that production regardless of who he’s like it’s been like he’s just been a incredible story and like in the a position that like the best players at that position are like their overall profile like in terms like the build the style is just so polar opposite of a lot of what Marco Rossy brings to the table and yet here he is producing uh and being a huge part of your success it it just feels crazy to think like yeah then he’s gonna get traded at what 22 23 years old like it’s nuts again the purpose of this is that I’m trying to change all the ju guu and make sure he stays regardless of how frame it people will either be on one side they’re like angry at us no matter what but like oh yeah for sure yeah but uh all right next up we’re talking prospects draft whatever we’ll start with the the Minnesota Wild aspect of this straight up Z can Riley height make Team Canada for World Jor can he make it yes and um in this economy yeah this um I think it’s probably pretty unlikely that being said Team Canada is one of those teams at this event that’s like if you do have like it like they actually don’t know what that roster is going to end up looking like they actually put a ton of value in this Camp so if he just like pops off [Music] and has a ridiculously good camp like he there’s a good chance he may this team but and I think again like a big reason that he could to is the fact that he can play that role in there like if they want to slot him in to like their fourth line or whatever he can still be Riley height as far as like his offensive skill set but he h he does play a really good two-way game he’s very [ __ ] physical um and he can like kill penalties for you too while giving you the offensive upside it’s just like given the fact that they’re bring like for the first time of a long time this team’s bringing a lot of guys to Camp that even if they bring every single one of like the big players this will be like the smallest Team Canada we’ve seen in a very long time like I mean even a guy like yakam Chuck didn’t even get a camp invite um so like they probably still want to find a big two-way forward for that like third or fourth line or whatever and then they’re bringing a bunch of like super super super high upside players offensively so could he make the team yes it’s probably pretty unlikely unless he just goes all the way off in Camp um but either way this is a team Canada that’s going to look significantly different than they have in years past and they’re bringing a lot more young guys than I thought they were going to like like draft eligibles um like a lot of those guys got invites to the camp I gotta pull it up again and like some big snubs from yeah we gotta talk dude expecting would Tia ginla be there if not for the hip surgery was the decision made before that no I think that was a 50501 too when you just listen to people talk like before he before that his surgery came to L like he was one guy that like he might not even end up on this team or even get invite to camp and there didn’t get invite to Camp well then I got I got two glaring ones and I’m sure you have like several more Beyond it but the guy who jumped up in surprise that third overall to Z’s favorite NHL team the Anaheim Ducks Sena not being even invited feels crazy and then Carter yakimchuk guy who torched in the preseason looks great it’s being played in Ottawa where he was drafted not even invited to Camp how how are those two left off from the camp invites not from the team Camp invites it’s uh yeah though the yakam Chuck one is specific like I was almost like just penciling him in like into that starting lineup either way especially when I look at I gotta pull I need to pull up his OHL stats this season to see what he’s doing um I mean yeah this is pretty like they invited cam Allen from go to Washington Capitals pick who like going into that in his draft season two years ago was looked at as like a potential First Defense one off the board and he ended up falling to the fifth round after having a really bad OHL season he’s like a six-foot somewhat physical offensive defenseman who’s like the foot speed isn’t crazy or anything like that he’s um he he gets the invite um I like someone like Bo AI that’s an interesting choice over like a yaku get all the options they had super super triggering for me that on the list that I saw for Team Canada’s invites they still had they still had Braden Jagger listed as Pittsburgh yeah that hurt that wasn’t that wasn’t fun for me that was brutal um but yeah I mean when you look at like their Decor especially on the right side they got they they invite Andrew Gibson is a six foot for 200 pound guy from the Su Susan re Detroit Red Rings draft pick you also have brunii is awesome I [ __ ] love I told you this when they drafted him that P when Pittsburgh drafted brunz that’s a [ __ ] great pick they’ve got someone that matters yeah he’s a very fluid skater offensively inclined guy not super super physical at all but like legit player very fun to watch um Oliver Bon he’s a 6’2 super physical prick on the ice and then you’ve got like cam Allen and Boi there that are both six foot somewhat phys actually Boi is like pretty offensive cam Allen same thing so like the fact that yakob Chuck didn’t even get an invite that’s crazy to me um when you just look at like what they usually have liked to do again we mentioned this when Carson ambos got left off a couple years ago it was like the shortest guy on the back end was like six foot three like they always like to bring the big physical um Decor so it was it was very interesting that like yakam Chuck didn’t get didn’t get the invite to Camp um like you said in Ottawa that insane um is there anyone else that you feel was like a notable snow like that you could make the case for a ton of Canadian guys there’s anyone that you’re like I really expected to see them on this list um maybe it’s not as crazy but like I was surprised also like the combination of both yakam Chuck and perek not getting the invite and then um like I think a lot of the discussion was like can you bring both like do you have to pick like which one would they pick if they want to do that uh and the fact that neither I think it’s the combo of both of them not even getting the invite that’s crazy um and I mean like historically again especially for a defenseman they don’t really like bringing a ton of NHL draft eligible guys that aren’t like six foot five um but Matthew Schaefer we’ll talk about at some point here um he gets the invite over both yakam Chuck and per is very interesting I me schaer absolutely deserves to be invited here there there’s a reason for that because uh like you said Z we’re talking about him Jeff Merrick cam Robinson I’m sure there’s several others have firmly endorsed Matthew Schaefer as the first overall pick in the 2025 NHL draft we’ll start with can you see it oh yeah okay so that that was an easy oh yeah so we’ll move past that at this point how many players do you think are truly in consideration for the first overall pick right now I’d probably say you’ve got James Hagins Michael Misa Porter Martone Roger McQueen and Matthew Schaefer in discussion in that list okay yeah maybe he probably but like a big reason honestly is the fact he’s a [ __ ] like physical 6 foot five good two-way player who’s skating I’m not challenging him it’s more I haven’t heard him in that breath yet so it was interesting to me yeah no I just I mind the start that he had before I think he got he ended up getting hurt at some point but uh okay so you got five guys I want you right now if you were drafting today I want the order you would take them in like team agnostic like don’t draft for need just your big board rank the five I’ll probably for now still go with Hagen first I think I’ve got to the point where I would put Matthew schaer to actually yeah I will put schaer two Misa three Porter Martone four Roger McQueen five and like schaer is terrifying ispp he’s he is like soaring and I did not especially when you consider the fact that like the big and you can’t even really call it a big knock but it was like coming into the year was like Hey can schaer like put up a little bit more offense than he did last year uh then he had um uh what’s it called oh my God mono and it was like that’ll probably affect like you know the lungs uh as he starts his season off here and at this point he has 19 points in 15 games last year he had 17 points in 56 OHL games so like he is a dynamic two-way defenseman he’s a 6 foot2 uh he’s like 190 I think 185 190 pounds he is capable of being physical he is so fun to watch jump up on the rush and like the decision making like his hockey IQ is incredible he knows exactly when to go when to stay and like every time we’re going to talk about Matthew schaer I’m going to mention the fact that he is just under one week shy of being eligible for the 2026 draft I think he’s like the second or third youngest player in this draft and he is so much farther ahead in terms of like the hockey IQ how smart he is than like pretty much every other player and like the progression of the offense this year is just unbelievable so I wouldn’t be shocked if by the end of the year or [ __ ] end of the year dude like let’s say he makes this World Junior Team and like legitimately just in insane goes off I would I might end up having him firmly at like number one um and like what it was it’s always funny because like anyone that’s been a Matthew for truer for a while you like watch him for one game like that looks like Miro hkin in and then [ __ ] I saw the other day cam Robinson was like that’s is Miro hin I was like holy [ __ ] and then my other buddy Derek was like he is um just younger actually like a baby version of Meo hyk I was like holy [ __ ] I love hearing that I love hearing that I love unbelievable and I mean uh Bob MacKenzie’s most recent big board he had him at two so there you go like it is a it’s well shared opinion that is flirting with first overall so curious your opinion then CU we know how these drafts go right another one or two defenseman are for sure to sneak in just because of positional need on your big board if you had to make one today I don’t need you to round out the rest of it but would you have another defenseman in your top 10 as it currently sits um I gota think no because you had two other guys that were in that discussion in our way too early rankings I feel like both of them like they’re both still first round picks I don’t know if they’re top 10 no yeah no I would um there’s the only two or three that would like potentially flirt with the top 10 would be Jackson or Jackson Blake oh my God Jackson Smith um Logan Hensler and maybe like r mka maybe and that feels um okay yeah no honestly I didn’t know Jackson Smith was even on your radar for top 10 because I know the two that you talked about a lot in the way too early were Hensler and treway um but yeah I mean Hensler It’s just tough when your team is that dog [ __ ] yeah and I wish that I felt bad for him but I don’t you sign up a scumbag organization you deserve it legally you can’t I’m surprised he even gets ice time he’s way too young he’s got a really good fake idea yeah yeah exactly huh okay interesting then I gotta ask you because it was two guys that you talked about quite a bit in the way too early Anton FAL is he somewhere between six and 10 is he in the teens like where is he for you today he probably 9 through 12 okay fair and what about Ivan rabkin somewhere around 15 to 20 so he’s falling off quite a bit well he’s just not getting like it’s the same thing we talked about with like all of these [ __ ] Russian guys in the C we know I don’t know I know but like there have been more games where you’re just like looking for something okay even when he has gotten played to the MHL and then like again he’s a guy like when he does decide to go off it’s like oh [ __ ] every time he touches the puck he’s going Sports Center top 10 mode um but it’s just been I mean he’s barely played any hockey this season it’s crazy I think he scored his first goal like three days ago that’s tough okay that that’s very tough un Fair okay well to round out this episode then Z we just got to hit a pause quick rumored you haven’t bought a ticket yet but rumored that you will be coming to town later this week talk about it I’m gonna be coming to town later this week um and it’s GNA Rock we’re gonna watch a lot of hockey games we might have a beverage or two um and I’ll be doing the same thing I did last last year the uh Frozen 4 and just putting a tweet out there where am I going where do I go right now this is your Tweet right now like we need comments Thursday night we know where you’re going to go you’re gonna be on West 7th because we’re going to go to the adinton Oilers game but then uh we’re checking out one Charlie stream against the Gophers Friday and Saturday so anyone that has strong dinky Town general area around their recommendations throw them our way where does Z need to go what’s he need to see um bummer it does sound like uh Matthew Wood will not be playing that weekend Z because Canada sucks they make their guys leave that much earlier than the US Camp does so that’s a bummer um but yeah I really if you know anything about the man that goes by spoked Z he wants the diviest grungiest bar he can possibly find yeah I mean it’s always like you say that all the time and I’m like I’ll go [ __ ] I don’t know I’ll go anywhere but like go anywhere but if it’s your choice you want the Dive Bar my choice is just like anything that doesn’t resemble a club oh then there go the headphones uh we’ll never take you to a club no I know that I’m just saying like but it’s never it’s never like I need a dive bar yeah all right fair I got a different vibe when you visited last but oh I’ll allow it that’s fair well last time you were like what do you want to do I was like I don’t think you understand I have the most simple human being when it comes to going places with people I don’t give a [ __ ] like you’re like but what do you need to see before you leave I was like nothing I don’t need to see anything I don’t give a [ __ ] all right we’re going to zero hockey games and we won’t leave my basement the entire trip just gonna hang out of happy yep he’s gonna cuddle my dog and say horrible things to her go not air in that one that conversation happen again though god um but yeah we’ll figure it out it’ll be fun it’s g a time and a half I’ll probably like pester people hey read this Twitter da how do you say this and anyone that says spot that was fun no or spooked spooked you were way more bothered by spooked it’s insane it’s insane like Kirsten crawl instantly what is this spooked Z no like yeah look at him he looks he looks spooked he’s scared like he just had his J wired shut I it’s I just one o you’re mad one o it is crazy like there was one person oh [ __ ] I’m sorry I thought there were two I was like what the [ __ ] that’s even crazier you just can’t see 3 what trenin trenin Tron no it’s trenin I think right I think that’s what that’s what it is now but I’m saying like the amount of people that have said trenin and it’s like how are you adding an extra I in I do love that people get upset about it the other people get upset because because he told leant that he pronounced it TR and people are like no what it’s wrong yeah that’s like when people I’m not GNA say what my actual last name is but whenever I tell them how I spell it they’re like are you sure they’re like I I’m a pretty good source on this one I’m not gonna share the government name either but like my last name the amount of like letters that don’t exist that people add in it’s CRA like like no you’re wrong an S always gets inserted every time and like there’s no reason for an S to exist in my last name it it it it’s weird and if you sound it out it’s pretty freaking simple but there’s so many letters people look at it and they just like get like perplexed and freak out and they just no no yeah yeah no the fact that anyone’s ever as like literally said to me are you sure about my own [ __ ] name every time like did you just hear what just came out of your mouth hang on though Z if I approached you at a bar I asked you are you sure and you spit the straw out that you were sucking your beer from it’d be reason done that while I haven’t done that’ be reasonable it’d be reasonable to ask that question to a man that’s drinking a beer through a straw are you sure you’re spelling your name right this guy doesn’t even know what his name is I bet he has a different last name he just thinks it’s this one yeah it’s actually not red at all um yeah last name he just gave it the wrong one so yeah comment on this video if you have suggestions or a lot of what we talked about this episode is going to make people mad I I just have a nagging suspicion the Rossy thing is the only thing I can think of that’s gonna make people mad yeah and again if you listen to the context of I don’t want him traded oh that’s yeah that’s irrelevant people would be like why do you want to trade I’m like I [ __ ] [ __ ] the amount of people that get mad at me whenever a Rosy thing comes up they’re like stop trying to trade I’m like I don’t want to trade or you have or you have the other people be like he’s short he sucks like what the [ __ ] man yeah remember that year that he just chose not to play hockey in inane that be like he couldn’t gut that one out he didn’t have the heart oh there’s only one heart on this team and his name’s Kell a bruise on the knees a hell of a long way from the heart you can’t there I mean just some of the people that I think the the one reason well one of the very few reasons that I haven’t just completely given up and deleted Twitter is the fact that like I feel it’s important for me to learn that some of these people are actually real they exist in the world and like I need to for my own for like I need to like lose my innocence as far as like understanding other people’s brains and how they work and the things that they feel comfortable like the thoughts that they have that they were like I should share this with the world it’s it’s reached a point that the porn Bots are replying to them being like bro more reasonable yeah they’ve become shockingly reasonable this day that’s still my favorite bit going is like whenever big cat posts something about like a football game that’s going on and like he’ll get like pornbot replies cuz like obviously so he’s getting a ton of Engagement and he’ll just quote tweet it be like not now cinnamon we’re talking football no the pornbots now like someone says something crazy about like Rosy and like immediately it’s like hey man chill out also pix and profile also I’ll help you chill out you sound like you need to relax take a load off oh I hated that that was disgusting I did not want that to happen yeah find somewhere else to stay next week yeah the street that’ll be fine I’ll do that all right we can end it we probably should stop F yeah this is this is p off the rails this is horrific this is getting dark appreciate all of you uh sticking through this this episode is ending under an hour oh my God this is crazy W look at us who would have thought not weird Wild see you in Minnesota [Music]
