00:00something the Ravens should have done then you find out well guess what it's not it's not actually
00:05happening and they're doing this like kind of a lot of wasted time right and if you if you thought
00:09giving up two number ones was ridiculous then you know and you yelled that a lot on the radio or
00:15whatever you know wherever you do your sports commentating then you win uh you you come away
00:21feeling like oh well okay I got out of that sort of like how I ended up feeling about Pareko
00:25like
00:25I like Pareko as an idea as a player he definitely would have made the Sabres better I just I
00:32don't
00:32think he's quite what he used to be and the price was so so raunchy to me that I just
00:38thought you know
00:39I was kind of relieved when that fell apart ultimately because I think they were overpaying
00:44for that player again not to say that he would I rather have him than Logan Stanley on my team
00:49nothing against Logan Stanley sure Pareko is a better hockey player than that but the price being two
00:54number ones versus Roseanne and Bryson like okay like those guys to me are spare parts and no big
01:02deal um so you know that the price makes everything it can make everything you know a little more
01:09palatable um or you know not appetizing which is the case with Pareko and with a lot of people
01:14with Crosby I would imagine you know thinking about the Sabres now how does this play out what we're
01:22going to do like you say well they would have been a better team with Pareko than Stanley and I'm
01:26thinking to myself are they ever going to lose another game I mean just what does it matter of
01:31course yesterday we found out they're going to lose eight of their next nine right that's what we
01:34found out yesterday because of the 2006 narrative right no I mean what ultimately I guess decides
01:43whether that trade was worth doing with Winnipeg is how the season ends you know like why did you
01:50do that why did you make that trade for those two defensemen well you want a little bit of a
01:56different makeup in your lineup but mostly you want insurance if I end up in a series where I'm getting
02:02roughed up if a game like Sunday happens I'm going to put them in somebody gets hurt I'm going to
02:07put
02:07Luke Shen in maybe like you have or for the same reason even like you you have that kind of
02:11insurance
02:12that teams may or may not end up needing and I can't believe this team is so good that it's
02:19just
02:19going to be a joyride all the way to the top like probably you you as a GM have to
02:24prepare
02:25for those possibilities so making these kinds of trades makes sense it's also possible that they
02:32really won't be any better for it right and if they don't have injuries and they can't hold up
02:38physically like they did on Sunday without even Logan Stanley then okay I mean but you did it and
02:44when you win like I always say everybody knows everything was right you know there's no there's
02:50no way the Sabres would even like make the conference finals probably win the cup let's just start there
02:57there's no way they're going to win the Stanley Cup and people are going to be you know bothered by
03:01that they didn't keep their number two for next year's draft guys the draft is in Buffalo no I mean
03:07we're just not going to hear that no there's a there's a point at which we will
03:11Wyshynski said he really liked how Winnipeg did you know he doesn't really like the players very
03:16much right and thought maybe thought you know if you're if you're that way anything you get in the
03:21way of futures is a plus yeah and Roseanne could be he's been kind of log jammed here and maybe
03:26he'll get he's going to get opportunity at least from here to the end of the year and maybe you
03:31know
03:31he goes into next year mattering for them well you know it could definitely could happen he's still
03:35young so that could happen that you know that's not for me he just was outranked by guys in this
03:41organization so to me he's expendable uh to Winnipeg he might be a bright young opportunity which is you
03:48know fine it's the eye of the beholder what about to me Hellenius and Ausland and guys like that have
03:53already passed Roseanne on the you know on the 90 from Rochester to here so you're that far down
04:00you know I can I can do without you plus the Sabres I mean what a luxury but also like
04:06it
04:07changes some of that analysis I think player versus player they have built a team that no one wants to
04:16touch I mean trade deadline came around and nobody wanted to trade anybody off the off the Sabres
04:24roster right because you just don't do that you Alex Tuck was a conversation until when end of
04:29January yeah when they got once once they they got hot again after the hot streak it just became
04:36that forget it no there's no decision no one's even having a conversation about this right not
04:40happening right so maybe that's interesting for Hellenius who wasn't traded but for Roseanne like
04:46there's just not going to be room and we might like you in a vacuum versus somebody else that's here
04:50but
04:51maybe that would have been Jack Quinn right right he goes and scores right that's that that was the guy
04:56that from the roster when when you would ask me and I think I had a lot of company in
05:01this like we
05:02know who who do you want to upgrade like where what would you mess with like that was the spot
05:06and
05:07yeah there's a hat trick last night thanks thanks for coming I mean they can do no wrong that's right
05:13it's like everything just kind of goes right yeah you can get them to win the cup at uh Caesars
05:20plus
05:212500 I realized today and I told you this I don't have an open bet I've got I mean on
05:27anything no
05:28same I don't even have a like last year at this time I would have had a uh like a
05:33Stanley Cup NBA
05:35finals yes World Series Super Bowl bet where's that I have why didn't we do that I never got I
05:40never
05:40I could still could it's just I never even one of the teams that I had last year won Oklahoma
05:48City
05:48the biggest favorite won you had Dallas their championship yep and the Bills and the Bills yeah
05:53they didn't win no so um Seattle I just didn't I just didn't bother I mean I still could obviously
06:01the hockey playoffs and basketball playoffs have not begun yet you can probably do that any day of the
06:06year right make a bet like that yeah the day after one final ends you can do a whole new
06:10one
06:10for next year yeah you could do one right now that would pay out after the Super Bowl so 11
06:18months
06:20and that's a long time for somebody else to be holding your money but if you know if you want
06:24to
06:24you want to play I got a text from a friend last night and I saw this elsewhere too that
06:30his bet on
06:31the Sabres over their point total cashed last night already hit yeah 86 85 and a half maybe was the
06:39number yeah so with what 17 games left they've already won that you get the money I don't even
06:47know maybe it varies do you get do you get paid today or do you have to wait oh I
06:51don't know yeah
06:51I don't know how that works I mean there's no way you can lose points there's not that I'm aware
06:57of
06:57I don't think there's even a punishment that the commissioner could meet out for some egregious
07:02something or other that would cost you points I don't think there is but I'm gonna enjoy trying
07:07to think of something that should be that Hagel against Darlene should be like you lose a point
07:12in the standards just for being idiots so uh I saw a graphic with odds from different sports books
07:20on the Sabres cup idea and that was the best one Caesars so okay Sam would tell you this is
07:26not
07:26your style no go shop around shop around price shop yeah
