episode 679 of after the whistle a few things we'll discuss today we got some

milestones that we have to keep an eye on in the NHL we'll talk about that a little bit

later the Sabre's getting ready for one of their last two preseason games and looks like

they're going to try to put a full NHL roster out or at least as

much of an NHL roster as they can, you know, with all the injuries that they have. But I think

the talk of the NHL right now is the record-breaking contract signed by Carrille Caprisoff.

Yesterday we talked about it as it hit the news.

Yeah.

And, you know, you let it process more and more.

And I just think like, what was Bill Garron thinking?

Yeah.

That's a terrible.

That's a terrible deal.

Terrible deal for Minnesota.

It's a terrible deal for the market itself.

It's just, it's an awful deal.

Great for what do you mean the market itself? Like a smaller market in Minnesota? Is that what you're no, not no. I just mean like the free agent market and contract market because what it's going to do to it. Well, yeah, what it's going to do to it. I mean, look at the way the contract structured. Like if Alex Tuck, let's just use Buffalo here for an instance, for an example.

I don't want to go. Because we know it's going to be spinning back to him. It eventually will be, but it's going to spin back to all of them. But the end of the day, are we worried about the Rangers not front loading Panarin? are we worried about the oilers not front-loading mac david are we worried about

the vegas golden nights not front-loading jack eichol i mean if these are we worried about the Oilers not front-loading McDavid? Are we worried about the Vegas Golden Knights not front-loading Jack Eichol?

I mean, if this is what the players want, they're going to get it.

And Capriessov just kind of set the marker.

Matthews does it.
