Classic SDPN, haha. I like the pick-up for Toronto. I saw him a lot in Seattle last year and he was doing really well on a middling to bad team. Didn't have as big of an impact on the Flames as one would have hoped, but he'll be a good bottom 6 guy for a team which needs bottom 6 help.
I guess so, I think some people take issue with they boys being very outspoken about social issues, talking about how serious gambling addiction can be when the evander Kane stuff happened, and then saying absolutely nothing about it when people comment on how head first theyve dived into all the gambling stuff. Yes you can always skip, but it’s off putting how they have handled things
I read something on Twitter about Gaudreau’s wife being a childrens hospital nurse, and Columbus has one of the best on earth. Maybe possibly not only looking out for himself but setting his wife up to do what she loves where she can have immense success
That ain't the reason. Columbus is a small market with less media attention. The negative attention superstars receive can be crippling especially after CGY Flames lost to the Oilers, Gaudreau doesn't like that & he would rather play in a market where nobody will focus on him!
@@danieldengL4R “that ain’t the reason” says the guy who knows nothing about the situation. He’s consistently said “we” throughout the process. Even if his wife’s career isn’t why he chose Columbus, she was heavily involved in the situation (as she should be as his wife).
@@tylersteele5048 thank you! Didn’t think too much about what Danny said there since his profile pic says oilers 😂 But yeah, he says WE so much talking about this decision, and a part of me wonders if the pandemic having the international border closed for a while may have had him wanting to at least be in the same country as the majority of his friends/family Neutral party observer here
Gaudreau to Columbus. I think "wanted to be closer to family" was code for "after the past two years, being in the same country as family is important."
I’m so glad he picked Columbus if only to cause this level of bewilderment. Hockey fans who act like they have a perfect understanding of all the players, teams, the relationships, the future of any given team, etc. are repellent to me. I hope the next big free agent goes to Buffalo and then immediately requests a trade to Arizona. Who cares.
Ducks fan here! Super happy you guys brought them up. Wish you guys would do it more, But all good. The Ducks I feel are going to be fine. Henrique is linked to the Penguins and Rangers right now. Plus Jakob Silfverberg is potentially going to get bought out. The guy just can’t stay healthy. Ever since his surgery he hasn’t been the same. The Ducks I feel need to go out and get a big name player. Kadri would be an amazing fit for this team. Skill, toughness, and size. After the Bob Murray stuff that happened Verbeek has been doing a great job cleaning up his mess. He’s made a ton of progress. I could see Fowler, Zegras, Terry, or Drysdale taking on the alternate captain roles or captain role. They all lead by example. Lets Go Ducks!
Calgary was a small market team with low expectations when Johnny entered the league. He was surprised to find out that most Canadian fans will actually be fairly patient with young players in the early stages of a rebuild. He started his career the same time as Sean Monahan , and the two formed a bromance of epic proportions. The city loved them , and they had some surprising early success. But when playoff success didn’t increase , and his best friend’s role on the team started to decrease , it wasn’t fun anymore. Being away from his family was more acceptable back when he was young and a minor rock star in the city along with Sean. And even though things went well for him personally during the past regular season , more playoff failure and fan frustration/anger , and the probable end to his best friends time in Calgary being near , Johnny wanted to try and get back to a situation that existed when he started with Calgary ... a small market team in a city with fans who would appreciate him , that’s closer to home. Since his signing , I heard him say that he got the advice not to go too close to home. Columbus was the perfect situation.
Lemme give you my guesses that no a single person asked for: Kadri: Flames (Panic overpay is still very much there) Bergeron: Bruins or retirement Klingberg: Seattle Kessel: Flames (Lol I just wanna see Kessell on a Sutter team) But actually Anaheim or San Jose maybe? Warm and small market, kinda seems like Kessel is on a retirement tour still Stasney: Anaheim (Getzlaf replacement) Niederriter: Edmonton or Calgary (whichever doesn’t get Milano) Milano: Edmonton or Calgary (whichever doesn’t get Niederriter) Rodrigue: Nashville Holtby: Retired
Kadri is staying in Colorado, he denied a trade to Calgary because he doesn't want to be there if he did he would have signed already Calgary offered him 7x9. Colorado is trading Girard for room. The others seem pretty accurate except Klinger to ottawa 1 year deal
Chuck fletcher really killed hockey in Philly. Everyone in the city is trading their flyers gear for phila union (MLS) kits . Hockey is on life support here
@@Aytrex87 it's not your fault lol. I blame the broad street boomers (bobby Clark, paul holmgren) for this. They found a patsy they could manipulate and push their archaic method of hockey. The next GM has no hope
Just saw the jankrok signing, 2.1 million for 4 years.Thats the last of the cap until someone is traded, or depending how much they go over the cap ( i believ they're allowed to be 10 % above cap), then a trade may be coming
Galaxybrain thought: Maybe they're gonna 'Kucherov' Muzzin? He's gotta have some injury that could use surgery considering he's been playing forever and is very physical.
..Gaudreau is American...seems natural he would want to raise a family there.......hoping for some kind of loyalty from players is ludicrous...ownership screws over everyone they can to improve the bottom line..
You're right. It makes total sense to want to go "home" when you're starting a family. But, Columbus was the worst defensive team in the league last year. A bit of a head scratcher in that respect. All they did to bolster D was sign Gudbranson to what is arguably the worst contract of the FA thus far.
With the jackets signing Johnny hockey, does the over under on goals for Laine go to 60 now? Ahhhh I don't wanna think of the leafs losing Matthews for a month, Jesus Christ at least not in July. Don't get me more depressed before my birthday lol
"Why is Wes McCauley the most personality the league has?" "Why are players putting their unique number in the contract instead of it being neat and uniform?"
Instead of asking "Why Columbus?", the right question is "Why not Columbus?" Because it's not a major hockey market? Many players prefer not having to deal with media/fans in places like Toronto or Boston. Because he could've made more money elsewhere? After taxes, is it really that big a difference. And once you earn that many millions, is a few hundred thousand really noticeable? Because Blue Jackets aren't a Cup contender? Neither was Tampa Bay several years ago. Gaudreau could take Columbus over the hump.
If Jiricek can step in right away and play a good two way game with his frame even at a young age, then their right side of defence is set. What Columbus really needs (despite resigning Laine at a reasonable rate (it's probably above 7M on a long term deal, but 7x7 would be "reasonable" for Columbus)) is to get another dependable center so that Sillinger and Johnson don't have to progress to quickly. My idea is to push a trade with Arizona for two good starting players in Schmaltz and Chychrun. Sending Bjorkqvist, Nyqvist, Gavrikov, Texier and Korpisalo along with other assets (picks and non (probable) NHL roster prospects.
Great show fr the three Amigos as always. I do Columbus is peace & quite plus the work factor for the Mrs The kid showed me something an I applaud him. I'm Rangers by birth.
putting all the info together...Gaudreau grew. up as a Flyers fan...Flyers didn't want him (Why? NO IDEA)...Playing for the Devils or Islanders (division rivals), doesn't feel right, but if they pay, then he would have gone...he desperately wanted another team to come into the mix so his agent tried the Jackets. I think he would have chosen the jackets at a lower cost just to NOT play in the tri state area.
Alright. I think it’s time to stop watching SDPN. If I wanted a gambling show, I’d look for one. Good luck whenever you guys eventually start selling yourselves for crypto.
40:36 Goaltending makes the difference. Look at Nashville in the playoffs. The year Stamkos was out after 12 games and missed the whole season and Toronto got the wildcard spot by 1 point. It's anybody who can take advantage of a team in a slump or a injury that tanks the season. I definitely agree teams are going to take the points that would normally get being there isn't a lack in the bottom 4 teams. Boston, half it's main roster out for 6 months, how does that affect them come Christmas/All-star break? Who takes their slot? Tampa would have gone 3x if the Avs didn't punch through. Only takes one piece to be different to set the stage come post season and even at that whoever makes it, can throw a monkey wrench in it by pushing through. Panthers make it to a ECF or Toronto making 2nd round.. Lightning having a injury that keeps them out of the post season, who knows.
100% his wife said " we are not staying in Calgary" and he signed the best deal he could get on the east coast. End of story !!!! Reason 4628 to never get murdered ....LOL
I think Larkin will get a lot of money, but I'm not really sure he deserves it. I'm worried that he's gonna be overpaid A LOT, because while, yes, he is good, he's no Matthews, he's no Stamkos, part of it was being in Detroit, but actually, this is the year where he either shows he's got it, with support around him in Kubalik, Perron, Bertuzzi, or, he's not as great and he gets 7 mil for 5 years.
Since when is Charriott a top 4 D? did you guys see what he looked like when he was playing top 4 in Florida? Cause I saw it and he was terrible and the year before the Habs he and the habs, got away with mugging players cmon!!! The rest of the signings I like but this Charriot thing that Bergevin started when he got him from Winnipeg as a free agent and he was trying to justify his acquisition,,, if you tell me he’s paying for leadership that’s a lot to pay for a guys who’s in the room,,, cause I saw him here in MTL for years and that was the justification, but look at him play , he constantly coughs up pucks
Maybe this will pull the population of Ohio that still thinks that the year starts with a 1 and 9 into the 21st century. Nothing against the Blue Jackets; but if people are asking “why Ohio?” Ohio is kinda backwards. This is known. No offense to good people from Ohio; but let’s admit it - there are reasons why the stigma is there. Once Crosby’s retired, Pittsburgh will regress to the same “Rust Belt Horse Doldrum Stigma.” That said, glad that this shakes up the Metro - go forth and kill.
Is gaudreau actually that good? He’s had 1 good season worth 10 million but other than that no…. And I mean he had a killer team in Calgary to help him and he doesn’t score in the post season
He is more deserving than Tavares and Marner lol… has an 85 point season, a 99 point season under his belt and before this season Calgary has not had an explosive offence.
LA odds should be enticing. They should get to the west finals at minimum. Edmonton can stop them but they have an interesting comparison: Edm- elite elite offense Average, maybe less than average defense. Average to Less than average goaltending whereas LA: Great offense Above average defense Great goaltending (tandem) Rumors are Edmonton wants to trade for patty kane. That puts them over the top.
I can understand maybe not wanting to raise you kid in a small hockey mad Canadian city. But he sure lead Flames on hard to make it to free agency so they couldn't trade him for a year or year and half to some other city. I'm no Flames fan but I get why they're pissed they got played hard and lost him for nothing. Columbus is smaller than Calgary and only has one professional team but Ohio has a ton of professional sports team and the bluejackets fall in somewhere after Ohio state teams. Lol At least he could take the new kid to IHOP and no one in the restaurant will have a clue who he is. Lol
According to what he’s actually said since signing, he didn’t know that he was leaving Calgary until a day or two before free agency. Maybe if Calgary had come in with their last offer a week before he might have signed it. It seems like if a player gets to within a week or two of free agency, he starts to think about what offers might be out there instead of what he’s got where he is. Teams that wait until the last minute to make the panicked higher offer basically don’t get their guy. Trust me, Columbus did exactly the same thing with Panarin.
@@bmess55 Calgary has 500k more people and is 325 square miles larger as a city. Ohio state football game gets 15.9 million viewers. Columbus vs Tampa Playoff game got 1.84 million viewers. It's easy for Hockey players in the US to live fairly anonymously. Do you think Payton Manning or LeBron James could live anonymously in small town USA? In Canada it Hockey Football Baseball Soccer NBA. At Christmas the world junior hockey championships are as much a part of the holiday has US Thanksgiving and football.
@@bmess55 1.61 million columbus 1.68 yes lots of smaller cities and towns scrunched up next to each other. Hard for Calagry to have town after town scrunched up beside each other when it's next to 2564 Square mile Banff National Park. Doesn't change the fact that in October and November all those little towns will be watching Buckeyes football before they'd watch a blue jackets game. And bangles until January and Cavaliers all season. And During Playoffs the Guardians. Lol
Meanwhile Brisebois hasn't proven he can actually build a team without stevie lol He's real good at over paying his middling players and winning cups against terrible teams. We'll see how long that works out.
I wouldn't call sergachev an overpayment. Also once the season starts they are going to be under the cap because they have 8 dmen on the roster once bogosian is off of IR. That means they can send down one of their other dmen and that will put them officially back under
When has calgary last won a cup? Also how about tell the goalie of yours to stop a shot in the 2nd round. A g.a.a. of 4.8 and a save percentage of .840 jesus christ
The anti Calgary podcast lol good to know where sdpn stands even with gaudreau nobody actually takes Columbus seriously lol they have a fractured roster without zero identity and suspect goaltending lol I’m not concerned even as a flames fan we could beat them today lol
@@JarradBruessel32 doubtful lol he was clear he didn’t want to be Canada anymore even worse a USA shirt on a Tim and friends interview afterwards to prove his point
@@generalimlerith8356 he wanted to be closer to family. He said in an interview yesterday that he is working on something to say thank you to all of the flames fans for the time he was there. If his family lived in quebec he would have gone closer to quebec. He just wanted to be closer to home. Philly didn't want to trade away their first round pick to get rid of jvr. New jersey is an old rival of flyers and it was flyers or somewhere not new jersey. The islanders offered less money. Plus he asked a lot of former players that played in Columbus that had families and they had nothing but positive things to say about it. He also asked about whats better for distance and they all said close but not too close. Columbus is a 1 hr flight home. That's plenty close but not too close to where he has to worry about his parents being around him every single damn day. Also calgary waited until the final minute to offer him their best deal. That probably pissed him off somewhat too because for months they said they couldn't afford to give him that money then all of a sudden poof they can afford it?
@@JarradBruessel32 doesn’t really matter that much he did the selfish thing instead of running it back with a top team now he’s stuck on a rebuilding team if he didn’t want to be in Calgary I say good riddance Islanders did fine without JT I’m sure we will too
Lol Leafs literally signed Calle Järnkrok like 40 mins after this pod went up. Legendary timing.

Rumors are Edmonton wants to trade for patty kane. That puts them over the top.
This show can never be on time can it?
Talking about Chiarot, I'm old enough to remember when he wasn't the biggest strongest guy on his own pairing.
Jarnkrok!!!!!!
Booooooooooooo Johnny Boooooooooooooooooooo
I can understand maybe not wanting to raise you kid in a small hockey mad Canadian city. But he sure lead Flames on hard to make it to free agency so they couldn't trade him for a year or year and half to some other city. I'm no Flames fan but I get why they're pissed they got played hard and lost him for nothing.
Columbus is smaller than Calgary and only has one professional team but Ohio has a ton of professional sports team and the bluejackets fall in somewhere after Ohio state teams. Lol
At least he could take the new kid to IHOP and no one in the restaurant will have a clue who he is. Lol
Columbus has a larger metro area than Calgary and they also have an MLS team
According to what he’s actually said since signing, he didn’t know that he was leaving Calgary until a day or two before free agency. Maybe if Calgary had come in with their last offer a week before he might have signed it.
It seems like if a player gets to within a week or two of free agency, he starts to think about what offers might be out there instead of what he’s got where he is. Teams that wait until the last minute to make the panicked higher offer basically don’t get their guy.
Trust me, Columbus did exactly the same thing with Panarin.
@@bmess55 Calgary has 500k more people and is 325 square miles larger as a city. Ohio state football game gets 15.9 million viewers. Columbus vs Tampa Playoff game got 1.84 million viewers.
It's easy for Hockey players in the US to live fairly anonymously.
Do you think Payton Manning or LeBron James could live anonymously in small town USA?
In Canada it Hockey Football Baseball Soccer NBA. At Christmas the world junior hockey championships are as much a part of the holiday has US Thanksgiving and football.
@@TH-tl6sy Columbus metro is 2.1 million Calgary metro is 1.4
@@bmess55 1.61 million columbus 1.68 yes lots of smaller cities and towns scrunched up next to each other. Hard for Calagry to have town after town scrunched up beside each other when it's next to 2564 Square mile Banff National Park. Doesn't change the fact that in October and November all those little towns will be watching Buckeyes football before they'd watch a blue jackets game. And bangles until January and Cavaliers all season. And During Playoffs the Guardians. Lol
Meanwhile Brisebois hasn't proven he can actually build a team without stevie lol He's real good at over paying his middling players and winning cups against terrible teams. We'll see how long that works out.
So how come your team couldn't make the finals? Hmmm????
I wouldn't call sergachev an overpayment. Also once the season starts they are going to be under the cap because they have 8 dmen on the roster once bogosian is off of IR. That means they can send down one of their other dmen and that will put them officially back under
He gave up on ever winning a cup with going to Columbus. By year 3 at the latest he will request to be traded.
Columbus will be a cup contender in 3 years
When has calgary last won a cup? Also how about tell the goalie of yours to stop a shot in the 2nd round. A g.a.a. of 4.8 and a save percentage of .840 jesus christ
First?
Nobody cares
@@Michaelholt32 HAHAHAH you lost 😂
@@Michaelholt32 why would you say no one cares and type in first afterwards. Bahahahaha
Nvm your great name says it all 👍
The anti Calgary podcast lol good to know where sdpn stands even with gaudreau nobody actually takes Columbus seriously lol they have a fractured roster without zero identity and suspect goaltending lol I’m not concerned even as a flames fan we could beat them today lol
How about the guy in your profile picture makes a save in the 2nd round and maybe johnny stays.
@@JarradBruessel32 doubtful lol he was clear he didn’t want to be Canada anymore even worse a USA shirt on a Tim and friends interview afterwards to prove his point
@@generalimlerith8356 he wanted to be closer to family. He said in an interview yesterday that he is working on something to say thank you to all of the flames fans for the time he was there. If his family lived in quebec he would have gone closer to quebec. He just wanted to be closer to home. Philly didn't want to trade away their first round pick to get rid of jvr. New jersey is an old rival of flyers and it was flyers or somewhere not new jersey. The islanders offered less money. Plus he asked a lot of former players that played in Columbus that had families and they had nothing but positive things to say about it. He also asked about whats better for distance and they all said close but not too close. Columbus is a 1 hr flight home. That's plenty close but not too close to where he has to worry about his parents being around him every single damn day. Also calgary waited until the final minute to offer him their best deal. That probably pissed him off somewhat too because for months they said they couldn't afford to give him that money then all of a sudden poof they can afford it?
@@JarradBruessel32 doesn’t really matter that much he did the selfish thing instead of running it back with a top team now he’s stuck on a rebuilding team if he didn’t want to be in Calgary I say good riddance Islanders did fine without JT I’m sure we will too
