Early Free-Agency & Cale Makar Speculation1:37 – 7:48

Caleb SchneiderHost

1:37

And yeah, of course, uh, Canada Day, obviously it's not about celebrating Canada, it's about celebrating NHL free agency.

Caleb SchneiderHost

1:43

And like you said, not too many names out there expected.

Caleb SchneiderHost

1:48

Um, but we had a fun offer sheet come in through the, uh, couple days yesterday.

Caleb SchneiderHost

1:54

I guess yesterday, so a few days after that.

Caleb SchneiderHost

1:56

And yeah, the Leafs did a couple things, so that'll be fun to talk about.

Caleb SchneiderHost

2:00

And the Sens.

Caleb SchneiderHost

2:02

Christian Kairu, so.

Jacob EwingHost

2:04

Yeah, I guess, uh-

Caleb SchneiderHost

2:05

Caleb SchneiderHost

2:05

Nick Cousins, eh? I guess that's a-

Jacob EwingHost

2:07

Nick Cousins re-signed, sure

Caleb SchneiderHost

2:08

... it's a big one.

Jacob EwingHost

2:08

Sure.

Jacob EwingHost

2:09

Jordan Harris.

Caleb SchneiderHost

2:09

Caleb SchneiderHost

2:11

Jacob EwingHost

2:13

Yeah, that's something.

Caleb SchneiderHost

2:15

That's good.

Jacob EwingHost

2:16

That's good.

Caleb SchneiderHost

2:16

Why does he do nothing? The Habs re-signed Dobesh and DeNov, and that's about it, too, so.

Jacob EwingHost

2:21

Great contract.

Jacob EwingHost

2:23

Great contract.

Jacob EwingHost
