We go north of the border on today's Capitals Talk podcast. J.J. Regan, is there anything more

fascinating or fun than to watch the Toronto fan base and Media Corps go nuts over an RFA like

Mitch Marner? No, there is nothing better than that. The only downside is that the compensation for offer sheets are so crazy that that's probably not a realistic scenario.

Because can you imagine if there were whispers of offer sheets coming for Mitch Marner?

Oh, there are whispers.

There are certainly whispers.

I don't know if it'll be reality, but the whispers are there.

Meanwhile, Brian McNally, Montreal, I mean, look, they've got all the history, but it's been a long time since they've really been a true Stanley Cup contender. They're an interesting team now. Yeah, kind of a weird dynamic with them, where their two best players, Carrie Price and Shea Weber, are kind of in

win now mode and the rest of that organization may not quite be on that page. They certainly

were a good team last year. They almost made the playoffs and maybe they make a run again at it

this year. But it's kind of that push and pull dynamic where the stars want to win now and the organization wants to kind of use its draft capital and add young talent.

And they got to find a way to make that work.

I'm not sure if it's going to.

I'm Rob Carl on the Capitals Talk podcast starts now.
