0:00.0	Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri
0:16.3	Filipovich.
0:19.7	Welcome to the HockeyPedioCast. My name is Dimitra Filipovich. And joining me for our Sunday special here in studio is my good buddy, Thomas Strands. Tom. Tom, what's going on, man.
0:28.0	Oh, man. What a crazy weekend of hockey news and hockey games. Lots to break down. This one's going to be extra special. This is an extra Sunday special.
0:41.5	I'm very excited about it. Yeah, because, you know, midweek, I'm always thinking, all right,
0:45.0	jotting down notes. What are we going to talk about? We had some trade stuff already planned, I think, and then the NHL rewarded us because on Friday night, they drop the
0:51.1	blockbuster of all blockbusters. I think probably the biggest trade we're going to see
0:55.7	during this trade cycle. Arguably one of the biggest in-season trades we've seen,

1:38.1	And the reason why I bring that up is because at the time, I believe that happened on like a Friday evening as well. And it was during the
1:45.1	summer. And then you and I on Sunday, just like we're doing now, got together and broke that
1:51.3	trade down. And it was one of my favorite shows we done, I think, for the listeners as well,
