Chris GawlikHOST
He's as good as gone if he has a really big season next year, 'cause his trade value will be through the roof.
Chris GawlikHOST
Full credit to Kelly McCrimmon for setting this up.
Chris GawlikHOST
So Fraser Minten, I got four comparables here for you.
Chris GawlikHOST
Fraser Minten was one of my four.
Tony CordascoHOST
Okay.
Tony CordascoHOST
As we have said, after he scored, uh, 26 points, 54 games, hit the rookie wall at some point, they worked on his development in Henderson.
Tony CordascoHOST
Kelly McCrimmon said that he would make Bowman an everyday player.
Tony CordascoHOST
That is exactly what is happening.
Barney ShynkarukHOST
And it was about a year before the Parkinson's.
Barney ShynkarukHOST
diagnosis and he had to kind of retire from on air and we chatted and and he was so looking forward to coming on the nooner to talk about home and to talk about saski and what he remembers about the old barns and the senior hockey and growing up and the fastball team and and you could legitimately Like when we had Barry Trotz on or Kelly McCrimmon.
Barney ShynkarukHOST
These guys get asked the same questions all the time.
Barney ShynkarukHOST
And we talked about stuff that he hadn't talked about in years and years and years and years.
Chris GawlikHOST
And this is where if there's one or two injuries, which there's going to be, it happens every year.
Chris GawlikHOST
Questions will be asked, but to Kelly McCrimmon's credit to the golden lights credit, they, they find a way they find a way last year, you and I were not hot about anything about this team.
Chris GawlikHOST
And, uh, they were two wins from one of the Stanley cups.
Chris GawlikHOST
So what the heck do we know?
Chris GawlikHOST
Um, if we're talking a fourth line type who's gonna...
Chris GawlikHOST
You know, you send the player down to save, you know, a few hundred bucks or a few thousand, whatever the number is, by having that player on the Henderson roster, now that player has to go down and play a game before coming back up, so that could really, uh, tie McCrimmon's hands a little bit as they're looking to squeeze every penny they can out of the salary cap.
Tony CordascoHOST
And, uh, speaking of the salary cap, remember already they enforced it last season, and that is the playoff salary cap.
Chris GawlikHOST
Yep.
7 MINS LATER
Chris GawlikHOST
Um, it's gonna be a $9.5 million increase from the current upcoming season to the following season, '27, '28.
Chris GawlikHOST
113.5 million, another $9.5 million for every general manager to work with.
Chris GawlikHOST
You know Kelly McCrimmon already has plans for that money.
Chris GawlikHOST
That, that's half of a Leo Carlsson, for crying out loud.
Cam JanssenHOST
This could make or break us.
Andy StricklandHOST
Kelly McCrimmon.
Cam JanssenHOST
Get outta here.
Cam JanssenHOST
Don't do that to me.
Chris GawlikHOST
Yeah, I mean, I still remember, and I mean, there's a lot of perspectives to take and everything.
Chris GawlikHOST
I'm just going to stick to the hockey side of it now, and what gets me is everyone was throwing tomatoes, tomatoes and apples and all sorts of crap at McCrimmon when he gave him a two year deal.
Chris GawlikHOST
Like why didn't they give this guy two years at 2 million? This is the dumbest thing in the world.
Chris GawlikHOST
He would assign one times one.
5 MINS LATER
Chris GawlikHOST
I can maybe wrap my head around that one after a few hits of coffee and something else.
Chris GawlikHOST
But Koivunen, Booyam, some of these younger players.
Chris GawlikHOST
And you do wonder if McCrimmon is going to keep something like this in the back of his weaponry.
Chris GawlikHOST
When it comes to Trevor Connolly, hey, we're going to lock you up, 4 million AAVs through 2034.
Big D VaderGUEST
He was actually an assistant coach when Vegas became a team.
Big D VaderGUEST
He's actually been with McCrimmon back to the Brandon Weeking days.
Big D VaderGUEST
So he's been in the organization since day one.
Big D VaderGUEST
And so some of the guys who are still around know Ryan Craig from when he was actually on the bench with Gallant and Azclamador.
26 MINS LATER
Matty JGUEST
There's a reason why they didn't make big trades right now.
Matty JGUEST
There's a reason why.
Matty JGUEST
Kelly McCrimmon's very methodical in what he does, and we haven't seen any big.
Matty JGUEST
Usually they would have taken a big swing over this offseason, and they didn't, which is not very Vegas-like of them.
Ian FurnessGUEST
I'm glad you mentioned that.
Ian FurnessGUEST
Yeah, I know there's only so many spots, but you better tell that to Kelly McCrimmon because I think he thinks otherwise.
Jason GregorHOST
It's true, very true.
Jason GregorHOST
Awesome, man.
Ian FurnessGUEST
I'm, I'm glad you, glad you, glad you mentioned that.
Ian FurnessGUEST
And yeah, I know there's only so many spots, but you better tell that to Kelly McCrimmon 'cause I think he thinks otherwise.
Jason GregorHOST
[laughs] It's true.
Jason GregorHOST
Very true.
Chris GawlikHOST
And that's just part of, you know, as John Tortorella says, sometimes you just got to look away when it's not working and hope the puck doesn't end up in the back of the net.
Chris GawlikHOST
And that's that's what Kelly McCrimmon has given, if you will.
Chris GawlikHOST
Ryan Craig and John Tortorella and Bruce Cassidy with the way the defense on this team is set up with Hanifin and Anderson.
Chris GawlikHOST
So will Craig be able to lessen those breakdowns? We'll see.
