Yoni Hakenpaw. Yeah. Because it's for doing Leaps. Yoni Hakenpaw. Cj is feeling very optimistic about this. And I think- This is news. It is news. When you're looking at the Leaps lineup, Yoni Hakenpaw fits so perfectly in it for what he brings at one and a half million dollars, which is what they apparently mean to sign him to eventually.

I still don't totally understand exactly what the plan is here.

What do you mean? Where to play him?

Well, they don't There's some finagling that needs to happen, but if I'm not mistaken, they have less than one and a half million dollars in cap space right now. They claim to have every intention of signing nick Robertson, which they cannot do if they sign Yanni Hakenpa. And Steven Lawrence is here on a PTO, presumably with the hopes of making the team. So how are they going to do all these things?

Well, I don't think they're going to do them all.

And if you're listening guys who need deals, like SDA still needs a deal.

No, SDA was lent to...

Simeon Durg.

The Leaps, they maintain his rights, but he's in the KHL.

No, he's not going to sign any contract with the Marlies or... I don't think so.

No. If he wants to come back here, yeah. He played one NHL game and didn't look out of place. But no, he's in the KHL.

I was at high hopes for Simeon.

I know. Dude, that duo I thought was going to play together forever. Robertson. Sda was Robertson's set up, Major Junior. I think they might have played a shift together, or Robertson might have been hurt. Who knows? And now neither of them are going to be in the lineup for any team in the organization. Come the beginning of the season unless something changes.

It's weird that they're discussing doing this Hawk and Pa thing when you have $1.2 million and you got guys to need money. Where's the money coming from?

It's nuts. That whole thing like, I want a Bugatti. They don't... Yeah, do I want a Hawk and Pa? Sure. With what?

We can't figure that out right now. What I would like to figure out is what he brings to the team. If he's playing here, what's he going to do?

A 6'4 It's seven frame. And just...

Kills penalties.

A frigging beard that squirrels could hibernate in. And winter is coming. Yes. They could shove walnuts in there. Holy Guys, I think there's someone walking up behind me every five seconds because acorns and walnuts and everything, I think it's just acorns, are falling off trees right now because winter's coming. Where were we going with this? Where? Oh, yeah. He's a big bastard. You just need big bastards. He's six, seven, and I want to say a top 10 heaviest player in the league. He's big and right-handed, and they don't have a lot of big players, and they don't have a lot of right-handed players. They need both of Where does he play, though? Dallas. Oh, in the Leifs lineup? Yeah.

So this is what is confusing me. They already got eight defensemen?

I'm not all that interested in Simone Benoît being a healthy scratch this season. I know there's got to be some... I mean, Red Wings fans got on us at the beginning of last season for, Well, I guess you've never heard of a rotation.

When they were rotating Justin Hall and paying him $40 million a month.

Listen, it's not a good contract, guys.

That's not usually how it works.

No, you don't want to rotate in your guy who makes three and a half million dollars. No, you don't.

You know who would be a better option than Justin Hall tonight? Jeff Petrie. At this stage in his career, I don't know. Where was it going?

Well, I- Simone Benoît, you were making- Oh, yeah.

I assume he's going to have to sit some games. But if you look at their decor right now, all right, we got Reilly Tanev. There's your top one. Oel, McCabe. I wouldn't be totally shocked to see OEL sit in an occasional game just because of the age factor. Then you have Benoît Lilligran. I totally forgot about the $3 million guy, Lillegren. And then Hakenpaw.

Hakenpaw is a right shooter. Simeon Benoît is a left shooter. It makes me think that the piece here that they're still not sure about is Lilligran. I know they resigned him, but I just feel like- I should say how I reshuffle it in my head.

The way I reshuffle it in my head is Riley Tanev, McCabe, If there was a lefty playing on the right, they would force over to the left. Oel drops down to the third pair.

I think they want OEL on second pair. I think they need a part moving second pair.

Well, then you have OEL Lilligran or something like that, or OEL Hock and Pa. What about OEL? And then McCabe Lilligran. Don't you dare tell me Lilligran at $3 million is going to sit games, which he might.

Well, I think he is. Didn't we just say how ridiculous it is to sit Justin Hall when he's making $3 million? Yeah.

It'll be just as ridiculous when Lillegren does it.

I'm not going to sit here and advocate the Lefs to do the same thing.

Yeah, no. No, no. The reason I criticized the Red Wings here, just for when this clip eventually, I think it's a bad idea no matter who does it.

They've actually clipped-Including the team that I like. They're not including this. They already clipped your hot take, man. You think they're going to include the part where you're like, Hey, I also think it's a bad idea for us to? No. That doesn't play on Twitter.

Red Wings fans and fans of other teams, get off my case. You don't dislike the Lefs more than me. They haven't hurt you the way they've hurt me. Not since 1993.

Adam, when you ask, What does Hock and Pa bring the team? My question is, How? How does he bring those things to the team?

Well, I think he's playing. And I think they're trying to push Lilligran and Benoît, and Hawk and Pa, I guess, too. But I think everybody's like, Timothée Lilligran, this is the year. We've seen this for the last three years. This is his year.

He's pissing me off.

And there are games where you're like, Okay, I see it. And I thought last year there were more games where I didn't see it. I want us to know what Barube does with this, but I think you've got a pretty solid seven. Do you go 11-7 more this year than you ever have because you are thinner up front?

Well, and you just dropped the left side.

Yeah. Okay, so why do we need four left wingers when really we only have three good ones?

It's really not. It's a good point. It's not a terrible idea.

That's a first this year.

Well, it's not a terrible idea.

Took till the third show.

It's not a terrible idea unless you are someone in and around nick Robertson's life. And then you're like, I think I hate you.

nick has given us the double birds at the moment.
