Is it sane? Is it possible? Still, I ask myself, are we? Am I? In our game, it's not logical, but you contemplate, are we? Am I? I think it's said, I think it's logical.

10, 10, 10, 10, Ladies and gentlemen, how could that not pump you up? Let us absolutely go. We are about an hour and 20 minutes away from game number 6. I got to shift over a lot. Game 6. Leaps Bruins. Leaps can't win at home. Bruins can't close at a series. The Bruins are giant chokers. The Leaps can't get anything done. Somebody is going to do it tonight. Somebody is going to do it. It's going to happen for one of these teams, and I don't know who. I don't know who. I believe it's the Toronto Maple Leaps, but you never know. It's playoff hockey. You never know. I wore this jersey last episode, and you got to... Whatever worked last time, you got to go with it again. I hope you're watching in the same place you were watching last time. I hope you were on that same couch. I hope you were wearing the same clothes, top to bottom. We got to bring that good juju to our Toronto Maple leaves. We got to get game number six here. Push it to seven. Anything can happen in game number 7. That's the beauty about game number 7.

[00:05:51]

Anything can happen. The leasers need to get it there. Let's go get that for you. Thank you for being here. You could have been anywhere in the world. We should be watching this right now. And I appreciate you for hanging out with me right now. This is the pregame stream. Steve Dangle, who is coming up on the Sdpn YouTube channel in about an hour and 15 minutes now. If you are here, You can just stick around here and he'll pop up if you're on YouTube. If you're on Twitch, you'll have to head on over to our YouTube channel, catch Steve Dangle livestream, Bruins, Leifs, tonight. So let me know in the chat, crowd people, let me know how you're feeling. Let me know how you are feeling about tonight's game. Is it like, are you just super confident they're going to get this done? No worries at all. I believe that the Toronto Maple East will win. Diehard believer. Mitch Marner is going to show up. Willy is going to show up. No Austin. If you needed the confirmation, it has been confirmed. No Austin Matthews tonight for the Toronto Maple East. But that hasn't stopped them before from winning a hockey game.

[00:07:13]

So we have here... Oh, my Gosh, Dapper Duck starts it off. Dapper Duck. I'll get the music going for you. Dapper Duck just gifted Five memberships to SDP VIP on the YouTube stream. We appreciate that dapper duck. These are the draft lottery results in our NHL 24 sim. Here, let me explain what's going on if you're not familiar with this stream. And then I'm going to get to your answers about what's going to happen tonight. I'm going to read through some of them. If you're not familiar with what's happening right now, we're pregame streaming Steve Dangle. This is our series that we call One Since '67. My quest as general manager of the Toronto Mapleief to win one Stanley Cup since 1967. We have been unsuccessful in two seasons so far. We have played through two full seasons, and both seasons, we have come up short. Last season, we lost in the first in the first round to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Not great. We got up to a 3-0 deficit. We tried to climb our way back into the series. We couldn't do it. We lost in the first round to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

[00:08:27]

The year before that, the 2024 season, we in the second round to the New York Rangers, where we blew a 3-1 series lead. Now we are in the offseason of year two. The second line on our team didn't show up at all during the playoff. So our main goal this offseason is to rebuild our entire second line, and Maybe get some help on D. That's what we're looking at. Maybe another backup goalie, but we got Wolen Samson off. That should be good. That's going to be our main objective here. Trade Mason-McTavish, who's on our second line, who didn't show up at all in the playoff. And we have a lot of young prospects here that will come up and fill the gap for our team as we get rid of this second line. Phil Kessel didn't work out. Cory Perry didn't work out. We tried signing some vets to help us win in the playoffs, and they did not help. So these are the draft lottery results. As you can see, Vegas absolutely steals the draft lottery, moves up from 12 to second. Insane. Nashville, unfortunately, drops from... They have the worst odds. They dropped to third place in the draft Some of your thoughts on what is going to happen tonight with the Toronto Bay police and the Boston Burns.

[00:09:37]

Also, shout out IFX798, who gifted a dollar. Every dollar is appreciated. Thank you. This is from Maxwell. Lefs have driven me insane as per normal. This could be amazing. This could be an amazing lease effort or a major toilet bowl blocking diaper full. Yeah, that's pretty much... It's either I'm going to go one of two ways. I've outsourced my leaf's misery, grief, and all leafiness to Mr. Dangle, so I've been peacefully zen the entire season and play-off. That's from SDBR 42. This is from Josh. If the Bruins don't put it away early, least will win. I agree with that. One thing we've seen in this series is the Lees can be front runners. If the Bruins don't get out to the start first in the least, we get it started early, the least are going to be good. Couple of early goals for the least, they're going to be Excel at being front runners. They won't let Boston get back into the game. I think that's how it's going to go tonight. I think the least win. Somebody said, Trade, Reilly. Ben has clearly been here for a couple of streams. Reilly has been a liability on our stream so far, has not shown up in the playoffs.

[00:10:58]

But I think we're going to go out, we're going to try and steal Kael Mccar, Quin Hughes, something like that, and get Reilly a stud number one defenseman so that he is no longer the number one defenseman on our team. Carter says, Mitch Marner about to have a legacy game. That is what I like to hear. Have some faith in your buds. Austin Rodgers, $2. He says, Greetings from South Carolina. Love Love the channel. Hold on, Austin. Austin, here's some Ola. Thank you. Appreciate the two bucks. Every donation is appreciated. All right, let's do... Hold on, cancel. This is retirement. Okay, yeah. Retirement. Let's get up here. Let's see who has retired. Maybe a couple of guys on our team because we had Cory Perry and Phil Kessel. Let's see. Joe Povowski, done. Chris Littang, done. Artiman Nisimov, done. Jason Demers, Matt Martin, Jamie Jordybend. Jordybend. Out of skaters in the NHL, EA, come on. Two skaters in the whole league retired? All right, that makes a lot of sense. So Can we just get to the rest of the people on here? Jumbo Joe Thornton. His numbers are wrong. That's not correct. That doesn't make sense at all.

[00:12:42]

His numbers are wrong there. Yeah, you make one hell of a game. Cary Price officially retires. Alex Stalek. What's happening here? How old is Alex Stalek? How can I see his age? They don't just show... Oh, 37. Alex Stalok is 37? I had no idea. I guess he's been around forever. All right, retirement's pretty Two guys. Two guys on NHL deals retire. Chris Littang, Joe Pavelski, who's in Montreal. Chris Littang obviously retires a Pittsburgh Paco. That's pretty tame. Joe Pavelski is now a coach for the Montreal Canadiens. That's pretty cool. Stalok, Scout. Price, Scout. Joe Thornton, Scout. Nice. Coach Retirements. We have to fill up Marley's coaching slot. Breyland on the Marley is retired. Trade Marner for Hughes. Is a chat we just got. Shutout. Coosie93. We're not trading Marner for Hughes. That's what we got Mason McTavish for. All right. Day ahead of the draft. We can't make any trades yet. Here's our roster. If you're not familiar with our roster, this is what we got going. We got $7 million in cash space. Mason McTavish, I'm going to sign... Well, we don't even have to sign him to the extension. We could just tender his offer sheet?

[00:14:16]

What's his contract extension looking like? Yeah, one year, $2 million. Extension dollars remaining. Asking price, $2.2 million. Oh, that's Noah Gregor. What am I talking about? Extension. There we go. $8.2 million. So we are just going to tender this RFA once we get to the draft. We're going to do that. We're going to trade him for a top-end defenseman, and we're going to be laughing. Corey Perry, we're going to release. Phil Kessel, we don't need. Robbie Fabry, garbage, did not show up in the playoffs. Noah Gregor, we'll get that extension for Noah Gregor. One No, no. Noah Gregor, $2.2 million. No, no, no, no, we won't do that. And Timothée Lills, 2.8. We'll do that for Timothée Lills. And everybody else is signed. This is going to be a pretty tame off season from us from a contract standpoint and a roster building standpoint, because a lot of guys are just signed. We have a lot of RFAs, but the core pieces of the team are all there and signed through this season. So we're We're going to make a lot of moves on the trade block front. But contract-wise, it's going to be pretty easy.

[00:15:37]

Just bring back a whole bunch of the young RFAs. Did I lower injuries? Shout out AAPO, who just reminded me We need to lower injuries. And Carter, who said check goalie contracts. Joseph Wall needs one. Offer extension. Joseph Wall, $1.2 million, two years, one way. We'll probably do that one. I'm going to wait a little to the resign period. There's no rush here. Because I don't even want to trade Mason McTavish at the draft. I want to do that a little after during the offseason, just so we can see where we're at. Injuries. Injuries. So injuries is something we will change because we changed this in our last franchise mode, way back when, and it really helped because injuries, they set them way too high as default, and I tried to play with them again, and it's been awful. So it's not under this screen. No. On time scale. No, not here. Gameplay settings? Gameplay sliders? No, that's gameplay. Audiovisual. Assistant chat. It should be on a rule, shouldn't it? I'll go back to gameplay sliders. How do we handle these? Let's try gameplay sliders. That would make more sense because it's gameplay, right? Injury, fatigue.

[00:17:09]

No. What do we got? Ai. Ai learning, face off, under-icing? Did I miss it? Did I miss it? On gameplay sliders. Right at the bottom. Right at the bottom. Okay. Gameplay style is right at the bottom. Oh, injury occurrence. There we go. Boom. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We're going down to 30 out of 100. It's at 50-50, so we'll do 30. That should be good. 30 out of 100 makes sense more than the... Because everybody on our team is injured all the time. It's just very unrealistic that everybody on our team is always injured. Having five guys out during our playoff run, it was a whole defense corps was out. Let's make this game a little bit more realistic. Let's check the draft scouting. What we got here? So we can game plan a little for the draft. View draft class. 25? Everybody's saying 25. Matt says 25. Gravely says 25 like last time. All right, we'll We'll go down to 25. We'll go down to 25. If that's what we did last time, then we'll do it again. Shout out everybody in the chat one time. That's why I got you.

[00:18:44]

That's why I got you. 25, 25. There we go. All right. Chat says 25. We go 25. With the game plan for the draft here, ladies and gentlemen. I trust our scouts to give me... Can I not see the gems from... I guess I can't see Oh, here we go. Let me just do draft class. Let me see the gems. Here we go. Gems. All right, so we can't get this one. Last time we... We got a gem here at one... Oh, my gosh. Marshall Drummond. We're taking them. There's the gem that we need. Okay, so Marshall Drummond is going to be a Toronto Mapleleaf. 6'5, right winger. Damn. 6-5, 2-12, right wing, power forward, sniper. Marshall Drummond, we are drafting you. So he's going to go 124, which is... Because 30 teams... Oh, he's going late. 30, 30. That's 60, second round. 90 is third round. So he's about a fourth round pick. About a fourth round pick. So we're going to take him with our second round pick because that's what we got. We could even trade back if we really wanted to. So we'll do that. And then We can even trade back till next year because Marshall German is the only player we want.

[00:20:24]

So we can even trade back that second round pick we have till next season. I don't hate that at all. I don't hate that at all. We take our one guy. We want the gems. That's all we got to do. Backup Tendi. We could take a backup. We could use that second round pick. Fine trade. All right. Fine trade. Let's find trades. Guys who are not coming back, Ryan Fabry. Yours left zero. All right, so Fabry, we're not resigning. Hey, free seventh. We can get a free seventh round pick for Fabry. Because we're not going to resign him. And is anybody willing to give up higher than a seventh? No, no. Okay, so free seventh is Fabry. Kessel. What if we Kessel And Cory Perry. We're not bringing them back. No trade is found. Kessel and Fabri. Seventh round pick. Okay, so we'll do that one from Dallas, I guess, but that doesn't make sense. Kessel Sorry. Perry and Fabri. Let's see this one. Seventh round pick. Okay, so that doesn't make sense. Just Kessel. We're trading away signing rights here. Josh, no. I just want draft fixed. Those guys need contracts. Hey, shout out Balloon Sue.

[00:22:09]

Just started following. I appreciate you. All right, so let's move Fabry for the seventh. What else We got in terms of unsigned. No, those are all RFAs. Jake McCabe, we're not bringing back because he wants too much. We package McCabe and Fabry. No, can't do that. I'm going to try to upgrade a... Let me get the last... 2026, seventh. Okay. Edit this trade. We're going to try and upgrade a sixth to a fifth next season. Draft picks next year's 2026. Third. Let's try and move a 2028 fourth. A fourth to a third for Ryan Fabry's signing rights? Hey! All right. Hell, yeah. That's a tiny piece of work. Oh, damn. All right, let's see if we can do the same thing with Phil Kessel. Holy God. I'm shocked that worked. Wow. Oh, somebody took a draft pick. All right, let's offer a fine trade. Anybody who wants Phil Kessel, let's find him. So far, age is the easy way to pull them up. All right, let's try Cory Perry first. Cory Perry So Montreal wants it for Savard. Kessel. Savard. Pair them together. No trades found. All right. Phil Kessel. Trade Gregor if you aren't going to resign him.

[00:24:17]

That's a great idea as well. Let's get Noah Gregor in this. Where is he at? Gregor did want too much money. There he is. Ufa Noah Gregor. No way. No, because he's an RFA, right? Noah Gregor's expiry is an RFA. So We can just tender him. Does it say his expiry here? One way. Pending availability. He's 26. I don't think... Is he expiring as a UFA? I forgot to check. I completely forget. We can't view our contracts, can we? No, we can't view our contracts from this screen. Does anybody remember if he's a... Yeah, He's expiring as an RFA, says Matt Brooder. So let's not move Noah Gregor because we can always just tender him and then trade him later because he won't be a UFA, so that's not crucial. It's not All right, let's go back to fill the throw. We can always move him later. That's bad TV says, Jesse, do that, but we don't have to do it now. That's the beauty of moving Noah Gregor. We don't We're not going to have to do it now. He's an RFA. We can do it later. So we're going to move the 53rd pick.

[00:25:52]

We're going to try and get a second for next year. Montreal wants it because we only want one player. So I'm going to try and move our second back till next season. Even if we... Can we get a second and a third? 2026, Montreal's second. And 2026. Just give me a late rounder, like a fifth. All right, so we're going to swap seconds. Hopefully, the trade value is not going to work here. I can already see that. Maybe we just swap seconds and see if that works. Trade rejected. All right, we'll take those pics. We'll use it. Can we move back? Maybe we take two-thirds? So we take a third. Find trade. So maybe we can move back here. Let's do draft picks, a second, our better second, And then let's get Kessel in there. Age. Let me get a way to pull them up. Kessel. Sort. Montreal. Edit. I'm going to try and trade back in this draft, try and get two-thirds. So a third this year, the 89th, and then a third next year. All right. So we're looking for two-thirds. Trying to trade back because our guy that we want is not scouted till 127.

[00:27:41]

We're going to get a next year's third on top of that. So we're going to Move back, get our guy, and get another pick on top of it. Let's see. Trade accepted. Okay. All right. We move back. Do we do it again? So no love Like, nothing lost with this moving back. Get an extra pick on top of that. Beautiful. It. Don't hate. Look how we're set up for 2026. Love it. Love it. Love it. Who called me Dubis? Who called me Dubis? No, I refuse. Boo. All right, do we trade back again? Do we keep trading back? Do I take two-thirds next year and just keep accumulating? I think we keep trading back. This is You guys, hear me out. Do we just keep moving back and back and back? Anaheim right now wants to give us two-thirds next season for our second round pick. I think it might be fun to keep moving back. I think it might be fun. Let me know what you think in the chat. Because I'm willing to take this right now. I should go through and see what else people are offering, but in a heartbeat, I'm willing to take these two-thirds.

[00:29:26]

If the chat disagrees, I won't do it, but it looks It looks pretty sweet in my eyes to take two-thirds from the... Oh, somebody drafted. Let's get back. Let's get back. And Em Sundeen was drafted. Oh, no. So what do we got here? A lot of people want our second round pick. We'll go back to Anaheim. Stop trying to trade us, T. J. Brody. Trump trying to trade us, Justin Hall. What is happening? Stop trying to trade us, Mason Marsh. But your ex leaves everywhere. Jeez. There we go. Arizona. That's this year. All right, let's edit this one. Don't do it. We're getting a lot of, don't do it. Jessie, please never be the GM for any team. That's from Rasmus. How dare you? How dare you? Now, a straight swap of seconds is a whole different ball game. Remove that. Remove that. Why do I have to pay a sweetener to move back a year? I hate that. I hate that. I hate that with a passion. I will pay you a sweetener to move back a year. Your sweetener is Cori Perry. All right. Even if I take out this seventh, Cori Perry, we're just going to move back a year.

[00:31:25]

Move back a year. Cori Perry, we're not going to resign him. Let's see what happens. Move back a year. Trade-ejected. I think they want the seventh sweetener to move back a year. Is there another player that we don't want? That we can just sell on for nothing? Oh, Jake McCabe. Jake McCabe, we're We're not resigning. Too many players. All right. Jake McCabe is more valuable than Cory Perry. So move back a year. Propose. Trade Rejected. Might have thrown a seventh sweetener. A seventh round sweetener. That's crazy. A six. Okay, we're moving back one. So let's go a sixth to a seventh. How about them apples? How about them apples? A six? So we move back around. We go six to seven. You get McCabe's signing rights. You got a second this year. We just want your second next year. Anaheim. Oh, no. I was wheeling and dealing. It kicked me out. All right, fine trade. Just get back over here. Let's get back over to this. We're wheeling and dealing here. We got a lot of things cooking. We got a lot of things going on here. I might take these two-thirds. You guys, two-thirds might be it.

[00:32:51]

I'm just trying to move back a year so I don't waste this time on a stupid prospect that I don't want. I want the gems, and there's only one. All right, this is the last move. And then if we don't make this move with Anaheim, we're making the pick. I'm telling you, those two-thirds, though, those two-thirds They look at... They're haunting me. They're on my shoulders. I'm thinking about those two-thirds. Kyle Dubas is in my ear saying, Trade back. Trade rejected. All right. Embrace the inner dubas. I'm telling you. Let's go make a... Oh, no, because our second is the one I'm trying to move. I wonder if I can start a poll. All right, quick poll. New poll. I got to write this. Hold on. We're starting a poll. Stop trading. Okay, no. Kevin said it. Kevin said it. Stop trading back. Use the pick for once. All right. Kevin, I'll listen. Kevin Brevin? We're taking the pick. Let's go. I'm listening. It's on I'm you, Kevin. If anybody disagrees, blame Kevin. Kevin, Airhorn. He said it really sternly. And I got intimidated. He was really mean about it. Kevin Brevin was like, Oh, Jessie, you better make the pick.

[00:34:56]

And I said, Okay, all right, we're going to make it. All right. So this is it. This is our draft. We got 2 minutes and 42 seconds. This is what's on the clock for this second round pick. We got Ardem Kolesow. We got Dimitri Volkow. There's our gem. He's still out there. Marshall Drummond. We'll take him with the next one. No worries. How do I sort by... Do they have an X-Factor? Just tell me if they do. Tell me if we got another Gem. Previous rank, CS rank, Hirsch. Let's sort by potential, at least. Oh, all right. We got elite, but a one. Okay, a two here. But There's no scout rank on them. This is... No. Top 6 forward. Troy Flude. This is pick 66, remember. Top 4 defense. Okay, so Ardem Kolesow might be the guy. Top four defensemen, offensive defensemen, medium potential. We got two little lines on the binoculars, meaning pretty good. Or we go with the guarantee, Gregemir, Gregory, Bomeister. So this is it. Gregory Bomiester or Artam Kolesow. I think it's Bomiester. We take the sure thing, top nine forward, sniper. We probably just go with him. No. No.

[00:36:52]

Meleki says no. I don't think it's Meleki. Meca Soli says no. Meca Soli says no. Ty Smith says, Guaranteed Bo. That's bad TV says, Bo. Noted European legend, Gregory. Let's see their pro-Okay, we got 40 seconds. I'm leaning towards Bo Meester. Everybody's saying goalie? I don't want a goalie. Goalies. We got 30 seconds. Goalies on the scout rank. 97. We're not taking a goalie. We got 30 seconds. I'm going to buy us more time. Hold on. Call time out. Call Call time out. Call time out. Call time out. Okay, we call the time out. We got five minutes more. Okay, make pick. We're not doing goalie. None of the goalies are good. What are you guys talking about? I'm not taking a fringe starter goalie or these potential elite goalies. No more goalies. I'm done listening to that. We're doing Bowmeister or Kolesaw. Pick the sniper that is 81st. Where is he? That's Bowmeister. Bowmeister is a sniper. B Smith? Who else we got? Since we got four minutes on the clock here, let's see what else we got. No. Grinder. Bang. Nicholas Bang. That'd be funny. No. Amari, Canon. Canon. Not bad. I don't hate that.

[00:39:00]

Bo would be my pick. Take the defenseman, Bo Meester. They mean Lingren. Where's Lingran? Here we go. Oscar Lingran, Swedish sniper. The elite scout isn't accurate, though. That's what I don't like about that. Very inaccurate. No, that's not. That's too risky. I'd rather go Bo Meester. Bo Meester, we know what we're getting. Instead of doing Magic Beans, let's go with what we know what we got. Inaccurate. Kolesow is still inaccurate. I'm taking the top nine forward. Let me see. Play Style, Snipe, Scout Rank. What is it? Strength of Competition, C minus. That's not great. Leadership Ability, Maturity, Sniper. Weaknesses, none. Gregory's the boy. Nhl ETA, four years. No, I'm so dead set on Greg. Greg's the boy. Would imagine Top four. Nhl ETA, five years. No. Okay, we're done. Gregory, welcome to the Toronto Maple East. Four years is terrible. Everybody said, No, but What are the other options? Four years is terrible. Why is everybody saying four? Okay, three years. Yeah, there's one. But who knows how accurate that is? Five years. If four years is terrible, then Kolasov is worse. Let How do you see your boy, Lingerin. Five years. And now it's pretty accurate.

[00:40:51]

Look at that. Four bars. Bukestad. Two bars, three years. Bomi sure is our boy. We're drafting him. Make pick. Welcome to Toronto, Mapleree. Gregory Bowmeister. Hell, yeah. I'm going to play. He's going to get Olaid. Oh, who does

[00:41:45]

That's okay. No, it's okay. It's okay. He's right in the range of everybody else. He's right in the range of everybody else. That threw me off. That looked really bad, but he's right in the range of everybody else. We drafted Gregory Bowmeister. I'm very happy with it. It's a top nine forward. Seventy-sevens across the board. He's going to be good. He's going to be good. We're going to sim to next round, or we're going to check some of the other players around them. Let's go back to round two. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Okay. Medium Stasiak, the goalie, just thrown out late in there. Carter, medium potential starter. I don't want a goalie. We're not in the goalie business. We have Oliver Rodriegue. I'm good with our top four defensemen, or top nine forward. Sorry, I was reading Hirsch. I'm happy. I'm happy with the pick. Let's go get our gem at the next pick. We did it. Same to pick 89. I'm taking our gem, and we're calling it a day. We're calling it a day. Marshall Drummond, you've been the whole reason we're here today. Thank you. Thank you. Marshall Drumond, welcome to the Toronto Maple East.

[00:43:33]

Fight it out with Mr. Gregory for a spot on the Toronto Maple East. All right. I still wish I traded back with Anaheim. We'll see what happens. Same options. We're done. Same entire draft. We are done. That was chaos. That was a lot. Andrew said, It's all about that gem. Count it as a win. I 100 % agree. That was a win of a draft. I will not hear anything else. All right, let's set up. The following scouts have expiring contracts on your team. Go to assign scouts. So let's resign some scouts here. All right, who needs... There we go. Resign scout. Five years. Yeah, I'm going to give all the scouts all the money they want. They have done a great job for us, especially these guys. Robert, Aiden. And one more. Offer contract. Resign Scout. I'm going to offer you a little bit less. Alec, I haven't been that happy with your work. We have A plus scouts across the board. I don't want to lose Jaro Carny, I'm going to offer you a little less. Resign. As you can tell, I could care less about how much money these scouts are making because they're all A pluses.

[00:45:14]

In In my minds and on the paper, they are A pluses. All right, coaches, we are not firing Mark Giordano... Sean, what is his name? Sven? Stu. Stu Giordano. We We do, however, need a new coach. We need an NHL goalie coach. So we will go out and sign an NHL goalie coach once we have that ability to do that once we get to the signing, period. All right. Resign phase. We can't make the big Mason-Mctavish trade just yet, but we will tender him. Ty Smith says, Fire the pro scouts. You don't need them. You have fog of war turned off. Is that how you do it? Because I feel like the scouts still help when you're scouting the draft prospects. All right, so Jake McCabe wants too much money. Yeah. Oh, my goodness, Jakey! Bye. Cory Perry. Oh. Bye. Marsha Rafei isn't going to get any better, unfortunately. Probably have to relieve him of his duties as well. Let's tender all these RFAs. Qualify. Yeah. Baudin. Qualify. Benoît. Qualify. Bjornfoot. Bjornfoot. Qualify. Max Ellis. Do we need to qualify Max Ellis? Come back to that decision. Alex Steves? We need people to play for the Marlies.

[00:47:13]

That's for certain. Mason McTavish, the important one. Also, what does he want? Still the... Oh! I'm on Lilligran. Why do I keep doing that? Qualify. We only have $5 million in cap space. That's not great. Cukinit. Gregor. Qualify. Ellis. We'll Marcia Refai. Marcia Refai. We're going to release. We'll take that contract spot. Warren Fogal. No. Bye. Release. Bomiester will leave off the roster. Parasack, our draft pick from last season. We traded up to get him in the first round, eighth overall. We're signing him. Maybe he can make the show this season. Let's offer him a contract. His rookie deal, it's kicking in. We could also just wait another year. I think maybe we even wait another year, let him get a little better, and then kick it, start off that That three-year contract. We're going to have to make that decision right now. William Villeneuve. Let's qualify. Alex Steves. How many contract slots we got? Oh, we got plenty. Coconin. Yeah, great depth here. Marlies, you're looking good. Marlies, looking good. Alex Steves, bring him back. All right, we're done? And goalie Hildeby, Petrazzeli, Joseph Wall. I think we release Hildeby... Or sorry, we release Petrazzeli because we don't need HL starter.

[00:49:15]

No. Bye. We'll save that contract slot. Joseph Wall. We're going to qualify and then check his offer contract. $1.1 million for a backup goalie. That's not bad, but maybe Oliver Rodriguez Rodriegue is the backup goalie, and we let him mature into a starter. I'm thinking we go Samson off Rodriegue. Joseph Wall, if he wants that little qualifying offer, he can take it. And then Hildeby... What's the contract? It's got to be a two-way. Two-way, yeah. Doing this. All right. Hildeby can get an actual contract. And some of those RFAs, let's go look at some of the actual contracts we can offer them because the two-way contracts are free money in NHL 24. They do not count against the cap. They are not real dollars. Oh, Fraser Mitten might make the lineup this year. Let's go. Offer contract, two-way, three years. Do we even want... Is it 76, 24? I got to be a little bit more... I can't just be handed all this money. Okay. So Marlies, you're going to stick around. Villanuve, you want a two-way? Perfect. I'll give you a bunch of money. Give you three years. I'll give you 925. Take it.

[00:50:40]

You can have it. Alex Steves, do you want two-way? Two-way, perfect. Two years. We'll see if you get any better. 900. Perfect. Alex Steves. Taupey. Two-way. Amazing. Free money. Topy might get better. Let's try and sign Taupey forever. Three years is the max. Mason, can't do it. You want $8 million. Lilligren, we can't do it. You want 4.3, and we're stacked on D. Two-way, free money, three years, 975. You might get a little better, Mr. Cocanin. Noah Gregor, RFA, tendered, one-way contract, not committing. Max Alice, two-way, free money. I don't want you for that long, though, because you're not going to get that much better. You are a Marley's player for life, probably. 900. No, just take your qualifying. Jorn Offer contract. One-way contract, Tobias. Oh, my goodness, Tobias. Never. Simone Benoît wants a one-way as well. Nick Baudin, two-way. I'll take that every day of the week. It's free money. 875. What do you say? Afanasiv. Afanasiv. Afanasiv? Igor. Igor is much easier. I don't know. Egor, if you want a one-year deal, I'll give it to you. I'll give you your one-year. One-year 800. You can stick around. All right. There we go.

[00:52:27]

We got a lot of money out there. Let's get some of these guys signed. This is my favorite part of the game, by the way. I love the stupid contracts in the offseason. Hey, Scout signed. Scout signed. Baudet signed. Yep, Igor's back. Kukudin's back. Villain is back. Hey, Alex Steves is back. Hildeby is back. Toppie is back. We love us some Toppie. Some Sloppie Toppie Niemela. Is that an okay nickname? Hildeby's back. Toppie's back. We love us some Toppie. Some Slopy Toppie-ne, Amala. Is that an okay nickname? Is that an okay nickname? Slopy Niemel. I think we figured something out. All right. Defensemen. We got Peshi, York, Ghouli. So we can move off of Lillegren. We can move on. Back of Noir, I agree. It was bad. It was awful, and I wish I didn't say it. I wish I never said it. I'm going to be honest. I wish I never said it. We got 30 minutes to go until Steve Dangle. If you're not familiar with what's going on, we are pre-game streaming for Steve Dangle stream, which comes up at the top of the hour. The Boston Bruins are playing the Toronto Maple Leaves.

[00:54:00]

I think the least are going to win. I honestly think the least are going to win this night. I think they get off to an early Can they start? I think they get a lead and they hold it. That's how the least are going to win this game. It's the battle between two teams who can't win in these situations. The Boston Burns can't close We got a series, and the Toronto Mapleies can't win at home. We'll see who gets it done. We're about 30 minutes away from Steve Dango relieving me. I got some hair here sticking out. From relieving me of this stream where we come up with nicknames for Topping the MLA. All right. So I was looking to see if we can move off of Lillegren, because Lillegren wants $4.3 million. That's too much for an 83 overall defenseman. But the qualifying offer is going to be pretty low, so we can just hang on to this for the rest of the offseason. If we run out there, Reilly, Peshe, York, Gouly, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, six. That's perfectly fine. We can move Lilligren, and then we want to move Mason McTavish and get a top six or top two defensemen, because that's still the plan.

[00:55:34]

Benoît is great. So then the Marlies have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, six. So we'll need Benoît for the Marlies. No, he wants a one-way. We already did that. Tobias wants a one-way. Okay, so let's see what else we got. I think we're all good. I think we move past this screen here. Parasack, we don't have to make a decision here. Max Ellis. Oh, let's make a decision on Max Ellis. Do we want to offer him a real contract? Four words here are. So this is our forward group right now. Justin Fisher just donated $5. Justin Fisher, do you want the olé music? Because I'm going to give it to you. Olé, olé, olé, olé, olé. Justin Fisher just donated $5. Justin Fisher, do you want the olé music? Because I'm going to give it to you. Olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé. O Thank you, Justin Fisher, for your five dollars. I appreciate it. Our forward group. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12. So we get down to Brad Lambert, our 12th forward. Let me check the Marlies. Count up from the bottom. One, two, three, four, if it's Max Ellis, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.

[00:57:09]

So we'll need our boy here, Max Ellis, for the Marlies. Yeah, we don't have enough depth there. We barely have enough forward. So we'll bring him back one way. 8,25, free money. There you go. You can have it. Parisat could easily fit in in the Marlies. Maybe we bring them over. But I don't want to kickstart that contract. I think that's bad GMing if we kickstart it when we don't have to. Let's get over the free agency period. Ohl MVP. Yes, yes. Ohl MVP. Shout out Warrior Wamp one time. Warrior Wamp. I finally got to meet Warrior Wamp in person. I felt like I was meeting one of my idles. Warrior Wamp was at our Boston Pizza Show in Bowmanville. Alex Schultz rejects our contract. Warrior Wamp, I hope you had a great time at our live show at Boston Pizza. Hey, Max Alice signs. I'm going to load in. If you're okay, I'd love to show the picture of us together, Warrior Wamp. I'll load it in, and next stream that you're on, I'll show it off just so I can brag about how we met. Let me know if you're cool with that.

[00:58:44]

Thank you to everybody. If anybody else in the chat came out to Boston Pizza, I was going to Scouts, to watch the Steve Dango podcast live. We had a fantastic time. Cory Wamp says, Boston Pizza was great. The game, however, was disappointing. Yeah, it was very disappointing. One scout needs resigning. Schultz here. You can have the money, Schultz, off our contract. All right. 25 minutes to go. At the top of the hour, Steve Dangle is coming up. He's going to be livestreaming the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple leaves. If you're not familiar what's happening here... Oh, my gosh. Carny doesn't want it. If you're not familiar with what's happening here, This is our series called One Since '67. It's our quest to win one Stanley Cup at the Toronto Maple leaves since 1967. We're on the offseason of year number two. We bowed out of the play-off in the first year. We lost in the second round to the New York Rangers. In the second year. We didn't get swept by the Tampa Bay Lightning. We almost did. We went down 0-3 in the series early on, and we battled our way back, and then we We lost in the first round.

[01:00:16]

We won the division. We had a very good team. I loaded up the team on offense. Our forward group was absolutely incredible. And in the end, it was a part of our downfall. All right, all the scouts are signed. Let's move over to free agency. We can finally start making trades. 42 contracts. Yeah, cool. Awesome. We finally are now at free agency. What we need to do here is make a big splash. This whole stream, we have been waiting to get to this at the moment. Nobody wants Mason McTavish. Okay, whatever. It'll be easier to trade him if he has a contract. That's for certain. But is there a contract out there that Mason McTavish will accept? Because right now, it's Yeah. So we're just going to wait out the offseason until he becomes an RFA, and that number goes down. We have no real holes here. We just want to move McTavish Or someone like, I don't know. Kael Mccar. Quin Hughes. Big name defenseman. Quin Hughes, what would it take? No trades found. Mccar, what would it take? I got 20 minutes. Hopefully, I can make a big splash before we go here.

[01:02:06]

Kael Mccar is going to be impossible to trade for. I think Quin Hughes is our first target. All right. Quinn Hughes, first target. Lefty. So let's get... No trade for him. Okay, let's get over there. Let's get Why didn't I just go the other way? If anybody else has some young defensemen they want on the Toronto Maple Leaves. This is the offseason. I don't do this very often. I don't just go out and trade all willy-nilly for the big-name defensemen. But this year, that's got to be the move. What's happening here? Why are we over the salary cap? It's the offseason. The salary cap doesn't exist. The salary cap doesn't work in the offseason. Suggestions right now. Makar, Chikrin, Fox. Adam, what does the Fox say might be good? Thomas Shabbat, Don't hate that at all. Mo Cider. Hold on a second. What's the trade that? Let's go to find a trade on Mo Cider. I don't have the dancing fox anymore. We'll have to bring out the panda. I used to have a dancing fox for Adam, what does the fox say? Oh, baby. Oh, Moesider is so attainable. Look at the trade value.

[01:04:21]

Parasack, Samson off, Peshe. Okay, edit. Edit, edit. Somebody said Evan Bouchard. Evan Bouchard is attainable, too. We're not moving Parasack. That's our boy. This is easy pick-ins. I'm sorry, but we're ending this thing with Mo Cider on our team. There's no... I should have traded back. I should have traded back. I would have three... I would have two third-round picks to put in this deal. We should have Kyle Dubist it. We should have Kyle Dubist it. Broken Records, somebody with X-Factor team. Veto, Veto, so right. Veto, so right. Hold on. Mo Cider, what are your X-Factor X-Factors. X-factors. Mo Cider has X-Factors, everybody. My goodness. My goodness. Mo Cider is the boy. One for one, Mctavish Cider. Trade rejected. Okay. If we had simply traded back, we would have had two first-round pics. Sorry, first-round. We'd had two third-round pics on top of the third-round pics we already have. We would have four third-round pics we could have thrown in for this deal with Mo Cider. I'm upset. I'm upset. This is spicy. Oh, damn. They didn't want the second. Let's go! Let's go, Mo Cider! Let's go! Oh, baby. Who needs Mason McCavish when you have Mo Cider?

[01:06:55]

Who needs draft pick when you have Mo Cider? Who You need anything when you have Mo Cider? What a time to be alive. Oh, man. Look at our defense. We got Reilly Cider, Peshe York, Gouly Faber. Oh, who's competing with this? List one team that can compete with this decore. We're set. We We are set? We are good? All right. Let's go figure out this forward group. Forward group is a little tricky. We only have $1.3 million in Capsuase left. I'm a little concerned about our cap space. We need to figure that out. We're going to have to make some moves. We're going to have to figure out the cap. That's okay, though. We got a defenseman for life in Moesider. Kevin Labank might be the trade. 5.286 overall. We're going to have to move That's for certain. That's a no choice. About the $1.3 million. But what are we missing on our forward group? Down the middle, we'll go Matthews, Monahan, Robertson, Lambert, I guess. Nick can play forward. Maselle, Yarncroke, Nabors, Nyeze. Who's on the left? Willy Marner, Labank, Kappinen, Holmberg. Who are the two? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

[01:09:13]

Oh, I'm not setting. I'm not sorting by overall. Where do we end? 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Okay, so we need depth scoring here. But we got to bank on Lambert getting He's an elite player. He's going to get better. Jake Nabors is also going to get better. He's 23, top 6 forward. We're fine there. We end our forward group at Homburg. 78 is not too bad. Fraser Mitten is going to be good. Nye probably gets a little better, maybe an 81. I'm fine. I'm 100% fine with this forward group. Masele is going to get a little better. He's 24, and it's a grayed-out medium. Robertson's getting better. Naibard's getting better. Lambert's getting better. Holmberg's not getting better. Nye is getting better. Mitten's getting better. And then in the system... We got Noah. Noah Gregor's not signed. He'll have to do an RFA deal. Something really cheap. Steve's. Thank goodness, we kept him around. Beacher. No, then we're getting to like that. Now we're too low. Let's go see who's two-way. No grit at all. No grit at all. Who is that? Mews. Mews says... Hey, oh, Warrior Wamp. Shout out warrior Wamp again.

[01:10:44]

Masele does want a contract extension. Let's see what he wants. Offer extension. Five mil. We'll probably have to do this just because he's going to be a lot better. So it's 24. We lock him up for 6 mil. He wants that. So if we did 6 mil, 6 years, that would take him to 30. Even if we did 5.8, 5.8 for 6 years, we'll offer that next time around. We can wait on that a little, but I think that's a decent deal. We have $17 million in That's what we're going to do in the last phase next season. So we're just having one year of pain. Because we're going to have Monahan coming off the books. We can always trade Monahan right now, if we're being perfectly honest. Robertson, meh. And then Masele. So I'll do that. If we get him 5.8, LeBanc is going to be... But he's at 5.2 and 86 overall. That's good. Most iders deals are amazing. Brett Pesci might be selling on. Goalie situation. I'm always looking at this goalie situation. Samy got better. Sammie is in 87 now. I think when we start the game, he's in 85, but now he's at his peak.

[01:12:15]

Joseph Wall. Let's go check the two-way players on free agency right now. See if we can steal anybody. Extend Lambert. Oh, let's do that. There's a whole bunch of extensions. Let's get to the extensions next episode, because I think there's a whole bunch of extensions we got to do. Shane Theater is commanding so much money. Two-way contracts. Who wants two-ways? That we can do here. Hey. Hey. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Free debt for Vladimir Mastikoff. Oh, my Gosh. Two-way. I'm going to give him... I want him for more than one year, but as long as he accepts that, that's free money. It doesn't count against the cap. Wow. Eighty overall, free debt forward. Is this Justin Danforth? That'd be good, too. Jack Johnson. We don't need Jack Johnson. I think That's a great deal. Let's check goalies. Oh. Prospective. Louis Doming, the King. Who would have got here? Who would have got here? 26, 79. Fringe starter. Best potential, I guess. Shout out Zack Leak. Zack League donated two bucks. Zack League donated two bucks. We appreciate that. We're Coming up nine minutes away from Steve Dangle hopping on stream.

[01:14:20]

We're going to try and poach some more two-way contracts while we go here. I think that's going to be the end of us here. We can do Leeson. Brett Leeson, right wing. Let's do this. Brett Leeson, right wing, 26, free money, free depth winger. I like this. Offer contract. We're going to get him 950 two-way, one year. Amazing. We don't really need Robin Sal, 78 overall. I think those are the two depths we'll need. Bro, check on Wall. He's there. He's good. He's chilling. Wall's chilling. He's got an RFA. He's been tendered. Is that Mark Muckle Carcone? Yes, that is him. Somebody mentioned extending Brad Lambert. Rfa. Oh, that's such a great idea. Oh, my gosh. Who said that? Who said that? Because Brad Lambert is going to go with Zonkers this season. And we're going to have him at 975. I'll do an eight-year deal. I'll give him all the money he wants. You can have $1.2 million, Brad. This is how you cheat the system. I'm going to give a one-way contract, $1.2 million. That's the extension for next season. I'm going to give you $1.35. You're not even going to know what to do with all this money.

[01:16:26]

This is so against the rules. Let's see if this works. That would be... Because he's going to grow crazy amounts of potential. Can we do this more? How have we never thought of this? How have we never thought of this? I guess it has to time perfectly with when the extension happens and when their contract ends. Maybe we should kick off our boys' contract, Parasax, so that we can sign it to an extension earlier. If we offered them a one-way deal, No, we can't do that. The entry levels. Maybe we kick off the contract now, and then we can sign it to the extension earlier because it'll kick off in 2028 or 2029. Then we can sign him a long-term deal and super cheap. Something to consider here. But we are definitely bending the rules of the game here, trying to sign Lambert for a long-term deal. Nick Robertson as well. Oh, nick realizes his potential. This doesn't work the same with nick Robertson. He's a little better. His agent is a little better. Monahan. What was his extension looking like? Oh. So Monahan, very reasonable extension, 2.2. Kappinen, 1.8. Very reasonable, again. Yarn Croke, 2.4. Let's do the Masele extension.

[01:18:18]

We'll end it. Can everybody in the chat let me know where you are watching from? That is what I would like to know right now. If you can tell me where in the world... Oh, there's an awesome message. Oh, there he is. Where in the world you are watching from? I'm going to shout you out, where that's how we're going to end here. Steve Dangle is coming up next. You don't need to go anywhere if you are here to watch Steve Dangle. Let's do this Maselle extension. Let's say goodbye. We're going to low-ball him. We're going to hopefully get six years, 5.8. Not even 5.8. 5.675, 5.650. Seven years. No. Six years. We can do this. 85 overall. 5.6. That's nice. I'm going to offer a lower. 5.5. There we go. Offer that extension. Let's do it. All right. Then we're going to... Next time we come back, which will be on Saturday... No, tomorrow. There's a stream tomorrow Adam Wild is streaming tomorrow for the Vancouver Canucks Nashville Predators game. So I'll be on pregame for him as well, I think. I think that's how it should work. We should be back here tomorrow again.

[01:19:39]

Yeah. If everything goes to plan, we will be. Okay. So now that we figured that out, let's find out where you are watching from. We got Steve Dangle coming up in three minutes. The Toronto Maple leaves, your Toronto Maple leaves, are going to win tonight. They're going to defeat the Boston Bruins, and we're going to be here for game number seven.
