00:00all right according to nhl rumor report uh that does a good job aggregating stuff
00:07they're in traeger uh reporting that simon evidson's future quote i think there's a
00:13glimmer of hope from detroit's perspective that maybe there's a change of heart that's from the
00:18overdrive so um what do you what do you make of this do you have a glimmer of hope i
00:27mean the hope
00:27is that they come to their senses and just give them the contract that that he's deserving of
00:34right now and it's going to look like a bargain in a couple of years when his salary cap starts
00:38getting way out of hand the initial salary cap is supposed to go up like 50 million dollars over
00:42the next couple of years so give simon the seven year 65 million dollar contract 70 million dollar
00:51contract whatever it's going to be and let's move on you know he's he's a huge piece of this or
00:57you know if you're not willing to do that then that's fine go ahead and trade him because there's
01:02plenty of teams out there that want him and and get the package of players you want but if you're
01:06going to value him so high where other teams like i can't go that high i think just give him
01:11the money
01:12right if you're putting him out on the trade market as if to say this guy is a can't miss
01:17guy then why
01:18wouldn't you sign him this is what it's so very frustrating all around with this but i'm at the
01:23point now where it's it's like you gotta you know do or get off the pot right so then the
01:32other thing
01:32was pierre lebrun reported that the wings have exhausted every trade possibility with larkin's
01:3810 team list and they want dylan to expand the list throwing another six to eight teams
01:45i mean okay dylan how much do you want to be out of detroit is there anybody beyond the 10
01:50team list
01:52because it sounds like dylan's camp thinks detroit has an acceptable offer they refuse to do it and
01:58i'm like yeah nobody should tell the red wings what is acceptable and what isn't right last i checked
02:03caa does not own a hockey team you know so until you own a hockey team don't tell me what
02:08you think
02:08is acceptable all right that's that's my business not yours so wow well i mean that's what i would say
02:14for the red wings right okay i mean serious it's a big old f you get out of my way
02:18here we're we don't
02:19see a trade we like we value you apparently we value your client a lot higher than you do
02:24oh you like that that's pretty good you can use that sean horkoff well done yeah but yeah is this
02:31also is this just a game of chicken here where they're trying to see who blinks and does does
02:36dylan re relent and say okay fine uh i'll give you a you know montreal and boston and let's go
02:43okay
02:43we can work with that and then they get a deal done so along those lines
02:50one moment please nhl rumor report has uh david panota so pagnota or panota thank you
02:58dylan larkin's non-list teams we all know about montreal boston buffalo st louis
03:04i believe la was a while ago do they get more out of one of those teams than they would
03:09out of
03:09minnesota i mean the minnesota rumor that people are saying it would be that you're off the uh
03:18the russian forward who was cooled off significantly since a hot start uh but him perhaps a prospect
03:26and at least two first round picks some have said even three i don't know who that other
03:34prospect is would they be willing to give up charlie strammel the former spartan uh who's
03:39highly thought of to be strammel you're off and three first round picks i mean that sounds like a
03:44lot if that's the case but that may not be the case minnesota may not be willing to do all
03:50of that
03:51uh but everybody says minnesota's hot and heavy to try to get this done and you can understand because
03:57they feel like their window of winning that opportunity could close quickly if they can't get
04:02a deal done to bring to keep quinn hughes in in minneapolis and he's going to get a 20 million
04:09dollar a year contract in the offseason from somebody and we'll see if it's them but uh if
04:15they could get a player like larkin who's on a cheaper contract it would probably make them breathe
04:20easier to give quinn hughes the money that he's looking for and then you've got at least i think
04:25there's three guys in there from the u.s olympic team uh when you throw boldy in the mix too
04:30if they
04:30were to add larkin to it so you can understand why minnesota wants to get it done yeah well
04:35something to monitor and and look i don't the dylan larkin sitting out is he's getting fined and the
04:44red wings seem perfectly okay with not blinking and so i obviously miss him what's that the wings
04:53clearly miss him sure but i mean the last two games i think dylan larkin makes a difference and
04:57win both games could you imagine if they but didn't they win the last two games ago well i guess
05:03i'm going to st louis game you're right two games the st louis game and then last night so the
05:08one
05:08thing about you know the situation is i think the red wings have settled in and are comfortable i don't
05:16how long will dylan wait before he expands the list i think you're right i think this this they're like
05:25this contract keeps getting better and better we don't have to pay him we're in fact we're finding
05:29him we're keeping our money on this uh and and the the team is playing well um the team is
05:37galvanized
05:38they're they're they know that this situation is beyond us screw it we're we're in here together it's
05:44just us uh we'll see what happens when it happens but it is working out the red wings team favor
05:50right
05:51now and and these are things why you think if this game of chicken is coming that that dylan larkin's
05:56camp will blink first yeah and i i just i think that's if you're asking me to predict what's going
06:02to happen i think it's that i think if larkin's camp blinks first i also just still think that
06:10evanson ends up in detroit it just makes too much sense for the red wings and he's got a bit
06:16of a
06:16clock ticking too because it's a is it december 1st if he doesn't sign by december 1st he's done for
06:21the year yep wow i mean that's that's a hard deadline that a player has to stare at right
06:31well the scary thing doug is a lot of things were making sense for the wings to do and they
06:35didn't do
06:35them you know as far as everything leading up to eiserman getting let go and all this stuff that
06:40the larkin trade evanson now like a lot of stuff says well that logically you should do this yeah
06:45and they haven't done any of those no they haven't but i've said this all of the the what i
06:51would say
06:52appears to be incompetence that led them into this mess to begin with
06:56since they've started dealing with these player holdouts or the one holdout and the one i guess
07:01they're both holdouts now technically since they've been dealing with this i've approved
07:06the way they've handled it now that's not that's not to say all's forgiven because it's it's a mess
07:13it's a mess they got into but uh we asked people at the beginning of the show on a scale
07:18of one to ten
07:18how much does tonight's red wings 70 red wings piston 76ers game mean these are two of the favorites
07:26in the east philly is the favorite in the east lebron's coming in it's their second matchup in
07:33the first eight games pistons won the opener how much does it matter on a scale of one to ten
07:38what
07:39is the appropriate amount of emotional weight is the way we worded it here's some more feedback
07:45from michael stone oh zero it's game eight oh it's stony
07:52from anthony 10 out of 10 crowned offseason champions with the self-proclaimed king in town
07:58top spot in the east on the line what's not to love there you go both ends of the spectrum
08:04there
08:04yep from matt we already beat them
08:09from nr i'll watch because it's a fantastic matchup but in terms of importance this is a one out of
08:14ten
08:15matt didn't put a number on it yeah he said one out of ten no the last one i thought
08:20the previous
08:21guy uh didn't he oh we already beat them you're right he didn't sorry my bad not playing by the
08:26rules no he didn't simple instruction just yeah harry says nine out of ten the pistons division is
08:32dreadful and they'll win a ton of games having a tiebreaker with philly from head to head could
08:35change the entire playoff seating slash series outlook i never think about nba playoff or tiebreakers
08:41think about them all the time and i don't think about the division i just think about the conference
08:46uh from american footy fan three that's the whole tweet three got it carson anderson 97 one
