Just hearing you say "cocoa" makes me smile.

Sale's contract looks lower than Rehkopf/Molgaard/Dragicevic because he signed last year and got his first year of signing bonus then. The contract slides but the signing bonus doesn't, and the bonuses paid before the contract actually starts don't count against the cap once it does begin. This is also why Wright's cap hit was listed at $950k in 22-23, $918k in 23-24, and $886k now. The second-rounders also all have part of their year 1 money as performance bonuses, so their AAV at signing was a bit lower($923k) than Sale ($950k).

Just got a chance to watch this and the last one. Good stuff and I have a few questions. 1. It sounds like from your comments, when Borgen moves on after this season, do you see that Ottavainen is the logical 3rd pairing replacement? I assume that Cale Fleury gets claimed on waivers this year if he is sent back to CV. 2. You seem to be big on Caden Price but the silence seems to imply you are not so high on Lukas Dragicevic. Do you not see him as also a viable top 4 D at some point? 3. This video has around 500 views. Your prior two videos both had less than 1,000. How in the world do the two of you support yourselves working this full-time on that revenue stream? Even with the 261 patreons you have chipping in $5 or $10 a month, that is just not enough, not to mention the B&O and other taxes. Are you eating every meal at Dick's to survive?

Question on the trading Firkus front, considering the return Buffalo got for Savoie, who’s a very similar comp to Firkus in terms of style and production, would it be worth it? Because the return for Savoie is likely going to be what Firkus would fetch.

Great episode, fellas. Very excided for Year 4.

Spokane should trade him to Seattle or Everett

Pretty sure there’s no room for Catton on The Kraken next season, but it sure will be fun to see him get something like 150 pts in Junior.

I know I'm going to be attending as many chiefs games as possible this next season

[@chrisstorment1123]

Wow, anything else McCann can do for Mr. 7mill.? Damn they're really gonna bleed J.M.'s bargain basement contract for all its worth. And why the heck is Tanev still here.?

[@mimi-sf1ih]

Saarinen to ncaa college

[@rickyaz8640]

Can’t imagine Bylsma won’t find a place for Winterton in the lineup. Tanev can sit if they can’t move him
