So, I do have a cigar at the end of every free agent day.

At the end of every year, I have one.

I was working on a signing late last night after we were off the air, and I actually had

the cigar in my mouth when, you know, I put it out there and...

Did you feel like, gee, Jonah Jameson was Spider-Man with the cigar in your mouth, banging

I try to think of something more regal than that, even though I am the antithesis, the

Elliot, we'll get to some proper thank yous at the end of the podcast, but I do want to

start by saying, this is our final podcast, so to everyone listening right now and anyone

who has downloaded, listened, dropped in, maybe dropped out, and then came back, or however

you consume this podcast, thank you.

This will be the final podcast of the season for the three of us.

Johnny Goodrow, Columbus Blue Jackets, and the question for everybody, I suppose, is,

what happened here?

I spent a lot of time over the past 24 hours just trying to piece this together.

I knew we'd have to talk about this on the pod, and I really spent a lot of time.
