Quitten Byfield and a big extension. I'm starting with this because it does affect the leaps. Steve, I don't know if you saw his reaction, or you could hear his reaction. When you see the Quitten Byfield contract, he shakes his head and he goes, Why do you shake your heads? And you go, When Quintin Byfield gets $31.25 million.

[00:00:24]

Dude, when that extension was first sent to the CJ show, I think it was the CJ show, Group Chat, I was like, I want to start a fist fight. I've never seen a contract extension for another team so good that it made me like... I just want to start a fight. I want to Russell Crow this.

[00:00:41]

Now, I know how you guys feel about Quitten Byfield, and I feel the same, but I'm going to be internet guy for a second. No, that's fair. But Quitten Byfield only has... His career high in points is 55.

[00:00:50]

Dude, it's a totally fair point. It's a very legitimate point.

[00:00:54]

Up until this season, his career high in goals was five.

[00:00:59]

Wow. Holy crap.

[00:01:01]

Yeah. And he had three the previous year.

[00:01:03]

Yeah, but sometimes you know. And I think with him, we know. That's been the argument for so many contracts that have actually gone quite well. Kaprizov, Kharol Kaprizov, for some reason forgot his first name. It's July. Jack Hughes, Quin Hughes. Oh, man. This wave of defensemen making nine million plus. Will they live up to it? Remember, it was all signed within a week or something.

[00:01:36]

Adam Fox.

[00:01:37]

Adam Fox, Kael Mccar, and Charlie McAvoy. Kael Mccar makes nine million, and it might be the best contract in the league. It's up there. It's got to be top 10. He should be making 40.

[00:01:49]

I think the fact that Kael Mccar is so good, it's hiding the fact that Adam Fox is a generational defenseman as well.

[00:01:57]

Yes. He's so We're a lucky man. I always used to do this for Hat Picks and Dang. It's, yes, we're talking about it. Relax, relax. Stop DMing me about it. normally take a couple of years. Oh, yeah. It's just we've been spoiled the last decade.Yes, we have. Now, wait a sec. Jesse's burying the lead. Did you see the huge headline that after signing the five-year extension out of his ELC, one of Quentin Bifield's teammates' agents did a huge interview talking about how bad the contract is?No, I didn't see that.Oh, that's because it didn't happen because that's a psychotic thing to do.Okay. What are you referencing?Darren Farris. You suck. Stop it.
