00:00Phil, who's to say what too much means?
00:02That sounds like Darcy, right?
00:04I mean, as always, Darcy's mantra was, you know, well, it's too expensive.
00:09And now here we have Kekalainen, who was like the first general manager in Sabre's history
00:13that had actually been a general manager in the league before.
00:18They've actually found somebody that has some kind of qualifications that you can believe.
00:26And that's the same song and dance?
00:28Because, I don't know, I'm reluctant to go all in on this guy because I do think he's
00:35credible, and that's an upgrade for the Sabres, who've never had credibility in that area,
00:40you know, at least going in.
00:41Regeer, I think, earned credibility over the years, and he was here forever.
00:46But really, like, come on.
00:50You've got the perfect setup, right?
00:55Tonight, you've got the player, Olympic hero, best goalie in the league for a decade.
01:02Would you not say?
01:04Probably?
01:04Close enough.
01:05Second at worst?
01:06Yep.
01:06Like, you've got the best goalie in the league for a decade.
01:08He, his apparent qualification, or, you know, needs are to play in the United States of America.
01:19High.
01:20Like, we have that.
01:21He doesn't need the Empire State Building.
01:23For a contending team.
01:24He doesn't need Vegas or Florida or Utah or income tax.
01:28Like, what's the problem?
01:30I can't stop the puck.
01:32What's the problem?
01:34Do it.
01:36What does it, tell me what it costs.
01:37What am I missing?
01:38Is there some ridiculous ask from the Jets?
01:42Because then, if that's the case, and these guys like Elliott Friedman, who would get information on that, would know
01:49that it, I need one of them to be like, you know, Winnipeg is being ridiculous here.
01:55They're just silly.
01:56They will not, they want Thompson, Darlene, and power.
02:00Or else, no deal.
02:02Like, somebody tell me that.
02:04So that I can believe that the Sabres are, you know, like, good actors.
02:07Righteous in standing their ground, right?
02:09Yes.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Yeah.
02:10I would, I...
02:11You need Lucanen, Bulldog.
02:12You need Lucanen to agree to something.
02:14And that wasn't true in June.
02:17You didn't need him in June.
02:18It wasn't.
02:18When the same situation existed.
02:20Now it's different.
02:21And that's their own fault.
02:23Like, that's the Sabres for being slow.
02:26Which has never not been the case.
02:28They've always been slow.
02:29Or just completely asleep.
