Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEOCast. My name is Dmitrara Filipovich. And joining me is my good buddy Thomas Trans. Tom, what's going on?

Well, it's July 2nd, which means I get to pretend that I'm a big insider and be like,

and I'm off to the cottage. But of course I'm not. I'm still going to be grinding away for at least a week here.

Well, now that Mate Blumel and Justin Danforth are off the board, I feel like your interest level has really dropped off.

The Justin Danforth sweepstakes could not have hit all of my hockey observer pleasure centers more squarely, like from the breathless Aaron

Portsline updates in the lead up to the market opening to then there being like four

teams in the mix for Justin Danforth.

Like if you were a Danforth head for me and my Danforth heads, the way this played out on

Tuesday.

Me, Justin Danforth, his family.

Was just fantastic. And then Mattai Blumelon, and we'll talk about this more, but.forth, his family. Was just fantastic.

And then Mattie Blumel and we'll talk about this more, but.

The full show today is just a breakdown of those two times.

The Blumel thing for me is just that the obvious profiles of like a free agent flyer worth taking,

those aren't getting done on August 15th.

In fact, there are none. There are none that are as obvious as, for example, Pugh-Suter was

two years ago when he signed in Vancouver in mid-August for 1.6 times two. Usually we get deep

into the summer and people are like, why hasn't anyone signed X guy who obviously should be on a roster?

And this year, those guys absolutely do not exist and did not exist on July 1.

But that doesn't mean that there's not bets worth making.

You just have to make sort of like longer odds profile bets.
