hi Panther fans so good morning good morning uh real quick here for those of you who are wondering how fluffy is doing he’s still he’s still fighting um we have some problems solved some new problems come up it’s it’s wacka but he is still um eating pooping peeing walking and chewing on a stick so it’s just day by day don’t know if it’s day by day by day or day by day for months don’t know at said um couple things going on with the Panthers first or hegy looks like we’re going to sign him to a long-term deal they’re talking I think 8 years somewhere 8 8 and a half um that’s not a total shock obviously right we knew we were going to have some other issues next year with Veri eblad and Bennett needing contracts now there’s been some innuendo from some people saying that um it looks like the the Panthers have a deal with Reinhardt in place but here’s the real kicker as we can talk about for hegy is that going to you know how’s that contract going to age when he gets older that’s not our concern right now the the thing that’s come out is that the Panthers are possibly probably likely shopping Aaron egg blad oh boy now I understand look nobody has been more critical of EG BL than I that said when you take into consideration the locker room um I know I understand all of the salary cap implications to the whole thing are we trading eblad to to um to keep mour I mean stranger things have happened that wouldn’t shock me none of this would shock me because we all trust Bill Zito now what would we get for eblad in and well I mean we have no first or second going into the draft tonight so there’s that but mainly this would just be a move to clear the c space so we can keep as many of these other guys as possible not he anything about trading Spencer Knight so there’s that I think I think from the looks of it with KN partying with the team um he must feel pretty secure in his position but back to eblad for me personally now I’m going to throw something out here that I know it’s crazy and I know it’s never going to happen but allow me to say it what I would prefer to see happen is ebl just oh oh I’m busted my knee oh I hurt my hip and he goes on season long ltir his cap isn’t a problem if he can come back for the playoffs in a reduced role that’s fine he plays out his contract he’s still part of the room in the season where we’re trying to repeat as Cup champions and then you let his contract expire and then he goes on his merry way wherever he would want to go I know that that would mean we wouldn’t get the return in assets but is the return in assets that we’re going to get worth how that’s going to change the actual culture in the actual room heckl is one of the most if not the most popular guy in terms of the players what Beggars can’t be choosers we win the cup we knew that there would be sacrifices and I know some of you thought that eblad might be that odd man out I didn’t think they would do it cuz like I’ve kind of joked then they got to take him off of the glass at the arena that’s rough I suppose that they could make it bark off and kachuck or bark off in the Stanley Cup although is there is there a cup already there I don’t remember but what the report alluded to is basically um kind of what I’ve said all year which is you know egl is telling him hey look I I’ll take less money I want to stay but there’s this year to worry about now I suppose if montor has said this is how much money I want and zitto was choosing between Montour and eblad ouch ouch that that is that is a tough tough tough decision it’s not a decision any of us would really want to make but we already know zto would trade hubero right we already know he would trade cuberto um so that’s tough news I don’t know if he’s going to actually be able to pull the trigger on the deal do you lose mon I mean I don’t understand if why not just let Montour walk and you go the one more year eblad and then you move him but for Zito looking at it assetwise and this is the part I’ll have to admit Asset Management wise if you could get a first for eblad and then keep Montour that’s better than losing Montour and then losing eblad for nothing you see what I’m saying so Zito’s got it different he can’t be a fan he has to look at the totality of the situation and say what’s best for the hockey team and damn but I like my LTR you know if if you put him on season long you know if he accidentally was to trip during one like in the parade it would be too late to trade no it wouldn’t be too late to trade him in the parade he trips and falls off of one of the if they’re going to have floats or if they’re just walking by his he’s glass anyway so he trips and falls breaks his leg season long ltir magically comes back Mark Stone style for the playoffs we win another cup and then he can on his mry way that’s my plan that’s what I would do I don’t think that’s legal but I don’t care all right Panzer fans well we K and I will have what we can have Karen had to sit with the dog for me to pump this out one for you um I wonder what we get for him I don’t I don’t know I can’t I man there’s so many different things in play there his age he’s still a good player the contract there’s only one year on the contract can you get can can you just do a swap for eblad and a first is somebody willing I’m sure somebody would be willing to do that I mean people pay firsts for trade deadline Acquisitions he’s got to be worth at least that all right I in one hand they’ve got the cup celebrating and on the other hand Bill zto is having to worry about possibly trading part of the face of the franchise that’s a tough job all right B the FR we’ll see how this goes I’ll see yall later
