E152: A new era of Blues hockey has begun! What can we expect?

We haven't talked in a little while, Alec.

We, we took the, the, the week off last week.

I wanna get your thoughts real quick before we dive in, um, on this Leo Carlsson offer sheet.

The, the Flyers signed Leo Carlsson to a five-year, $18 million, uh, AAV offer sheet, which the Ducks ultimately matched.

But, like, just real quick, like, this is bigger news in the NHL, and whenever there's big news like this, we like to talk about it.

So what are your thoughts on the, [chuckles] on the Carlsson offer sheet becoming the highest paid player?

So funny and so crazy.

Um, it, for the record, would not be funny if the Blues were in this situation.

Um-

Yeah

...

but hey, that's how the NHL goes sometimes.

Um, it's, it's, it's crazy.

It was a crazy play by, uh, Philly to basically force the hand of the Ducks here, and I think they made the right move.

I think that's what I would've done in their position.

Um, and-

The Ducks, you mean?

You just, like...

Yeah, yeah.

Um, I mean, four first-round picks is a lot to rebuild your team, but you are starting from square one in that case, and-

Yeah

...

the Ducks just went through a, a long-term rebuild.

So definitely an overpay.

Uh, I think no one is, is doubting that.
