Transcript of Sidney Crosby To The Maple Leafs!? | SDP

Plumped up kicks.

That's funny.

2024, November 26, 10:23 PM. Would you trade Matthew Nies, Dennis Hildeby, and a first-round pick for Sydney Crosby, regardless of a cap hit? Maybe even Easton Coughin to sweeten the deal. This was actually a conversation we had in a group chat, where I was just talking about how much I love Matthew Nies and Crosby getting traded and Toronto and whatever got brought up. The conversation was basically, who gives a shit? It's Sydney Crosby. I would be so sad to lose Matthew Nye.

I'd want him playing with Crosby. Yeah.

That's a bad trade.

For who?

For the Leifs.

Easton Kowan included or not?

No, giving up Matthew Nye for Sydney Crosby is a bad trade. With everything in between, that's That's not good.

They don't have the strength on wing to make up for it.

So you make your team suck in another area. You get really good down the middle, and then you suck on the wing.

Your one, two, three is Austin Matthews John Tavares, Sydney Crosby, in whatever order you want. And you have Marner, who can play right wing. You have Nylander, who can play right wing. I'm sure Does their social media coordinator have skates? Does the training staff have skates?

The Sydney Crosby trade is some combination of like, minting cow in a first. You're giving up the top young guys. I would rather have nine. You're sending them all to the moon.

I think Nize ends up being better than all of them.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Oh, so you're saying... No, I'll find the penguins, I tell you to shove it up your freaking nose.

Cowen, Minton, a first. Who else you Hildeby, too?

It's not enough. It's Sydney Crosby.

I think you're really close there.

I think we're also saying that we're puffing up Dennis Hildeby's value at the NH, which is like nil. He might not even be their best goalie prospect. Yeah. Not that I don't love Dennis Hildeby and don't hope that he plays for the leaves, but the reality is that the trade market is what it is, and Dennis Hildeby is not on a lot of teams' radars. He hasn't established himself yet.

Mckenzie Blackwood is one of the best goalies available, and look what he just fetched.

Yeah, exactly.

Howen, Minton, 2-1, Morgan Reilly. Why? I don't know. Just throw him out there. Because we have so much D. Pittsburgh?

Yeah, I'll probably take that. Yeah, see?

Oh, yeah. You keep nice. I'm saying there's a lot of other-Now, you don't have Morgan Reilly. You have so much defense. I can give up. I can spare Morgan Reilly. There's so many trades you can combine with Leifs guys if you're willing to just send them out without giving them Matthew Nies.

Yeah, I think Cauen, Minton, and you can have our entire 25 draft class. Sure.

Yeah, and if I'm dubious, I'd probably take that. If it's like, We have to trade Crosby, thing, the least can do a godfather offer that doesn't involve NICE. That's really good, and they get Sydney Crosby.

You need NICE.

We will not make a pick this year.

That's fine. Yeah, who cares? I get Sydney Crosby. Who cares? It doesn't matter.

Take it all.

If Sydney Crosby is ever on the table, the least have a serious shot at him. I'm genuine about that.

Yes. It's been described as less than zero if it ever came up. Man, nothing would make Pen's fans of this show more pissed off than Crosby being a leaf. They'd be just furious about it.

Or they'd be happy.

You think they'd be happy? I don't think they'd be happy.

Let me turn it around. Would you do Crosby for Michkov? And then he ends up on the flyers.

Oh, no.

You get the image of Cindy Crosby in the flyers.

I don't know if the flyers would do that. They're not in the right place.

What do they need Cindy Crosby for?

No, they go on a run. They're crazy. They're great.

Steve, Steve. They'd be on a run because of Mitch Crosby.

None of this is Steve.

I thought you could do Capriza for Cindy Crosby. Probably not. And that's the thing. This is where I need everybody to be careful because when you talk of players value, there is a point where, yeah, there is a number. And what's the value to people? Like, oh, who cares? It's Crosby. Yeah, but it's 38-year-old Crosby. And there is a cap on that value.

That's why I put my foot down on Matthew Nye's, because if they're in a position where they're winning, the things you have to give up is not Matthew Nye's and all of the things that are supposed to be futures.

Here's the thing. Oh, Sydney Crosby, now Toronto Maple, if you gave up so much, high ankle spray, misses the whole play-off. What if... That can happen, guys. You got to make sure that you still have a lineup left when he joins in. That's Pittsburgh's current problem. They don't have much of a lineup around them. Yeah.

Leaps got all their pics back from the Felino deal. God. That'd be nice if you could do conditional pics based on game.

A hundred %. Well, you can. Oh, yeah. You literally can. Oh, yeah. All right. From Bonsi. From Bonsi. I'm a big fan of Prime Monday Night Hockey, and I'm super excited for what could come in the future for the NHL with Amazon. The only issue is I play It's like, We're making Monday nights, and after the game, we go out for a beer, just one, and wings. Do you know what it would take to get bars to get games on their TVs when the broadcast is hosted by Prime? I assume the costs are prohibitive for only a view games they host right now, would love some input. Bars have to pay a license fee to be able to do it. It's a lot of money.

It's not cheap.

It's not cheap. I don't know what Amazon is charging for that, but maybe it's entirely possible because these rights were announced so late in the year that Amazon hadn't even set up something for that yet.

I think you would just have to pay for it. No, I think it was in Vegas because the NFL had games on Prime first, right? Or was it Apple?

No, Amazon. Thursday nights are on Amazon for the NFL.

I want to say it was in a casino in Vegas that had the NFL games on.

That's completely different. It is? Yeah. The NFL, there's They had long runway, sorry, to get that done. It's also the NFL. There's no option in America to have a bar when on Thursdays there's one NFL game on to say, We're not playing this. There's not- There will be riots in the street. It's not an option to own a bar and not show football on Thursday when that's the game and it's on Amazon. In Canada, it's very interesting they brought this up because, I don't know, maybe Amazon didn't do the contract with all the Or maybe it's just the bar you go to.

Or maybe find a bar that has a fucking Amazon Firestone.

Yeah, I think- Maybe your bar just doesn't have the streaming capabilities, and they're so old school, they just have the cable box. Yeah, it could be that. Where it's not airing.

It could be that. Totally that. Yeah, it could just be the bar. Remember, I would imagine that most sports bars in the country are carrying it if the game's on. Yeah.

Or just go to the one that has a smart TV.

Here you go. Jesse, next question.

Next up, we have a question from Julian, 1124. Hey, guys. For your Barry Trott shouldn't have made himself GM rant, which we did probably a week and a half ago at this point. He's just the GM. He's not the President or anything. Why do you think that?

Well, look at how great it's going to go for them.

Barry Trotz is just the GM in Nashville. He's not the President or anything above that. Why do you think that's the case?

Because David Poil is alive.

Adam, what's the management structure of Nashville?

I'm just looking it up right now.

Predator.

David Poeyle is among us living and breathing.

It's as simple as that. As long as Poeyle wants the job, it's his. Yeah.

That's probably the only reason he stepped aside is because he basically got kicked upstairs.

There you go, Matty, you can bring it up.

Staff listing, here we go.

It's on the screen, Adam. Okay.

If he has no president above him, that's odd.

Here are the owners. Look at all of them in their pictures. There's so many minority owners. Wow. Not minority They're all white people. There's Warren Wolf. Warren Wolf made it. All right.

Wait a second. Was that Sharkstown? What? Or Shark Tank or whatever? Here, Oh, down? Yeah, that guy.

Brett Wilson. Yeah, he's from Calgary.

There you go. Minority owner of-He's famous. The predator.

Yeah, TV guy. Yeah. And horrible on Twitter.

Yeah. Horrible. Actually? Yeah, he sucks. He's just the worst. All right. Okay. Executives. Sean Henry is their CEO. The President is Michelle Kennedy. So there you go. President CEO. Oh, they got a Kennedy. Alternative governor.

There you Where's David Poeyle?

Broadcasting under 10. I think he's retired.

Isn't he? God, Chris Mason's beard is unbelievable. I thought Poeyl was still the President.

Administration?

I'm looking through it and I'm not seeing business strategy.

Community relations?

Premium sales. I'm looking through it myself and I'm like, Where?

I thought David Poeyle was still the President. Let me go to Hockey Ops. We're just on the-Yes.

Why are we? That's the problem. There isn't a Hockey Ops.

There isn't one. They must have different pages. Operations, maybe?

Did they have more people working for them than any other team?

Oh, my goodness. This is a giant...

Yo, wait. No, no, no, no, no, Andrew.

Yeah.muchtich.

Maintenance mechanic.That got rules. Took his team photo in a preds jersey with gloves and a stick. No one else has done this.

Andrew, if you listen to this show, please let us know you are an absolute icon, and I want to know how you got them to do this. He's correct.

Well done. Absolutely. What a legend. That guy's got some sass, too. There was a big beard guy.

No, but everybody's just... You have your regular office photo, and they let him do it in his hockey gear.

I like the dude flexing, too. Who's Wes Holden?

Is that him? The next one over? No, next one over on the right.

Oh, this guy. This guy. The mechanic.

What's him holding?

A screwdriver.

Oh, yeah. That's awesome, too. That's awesome, too. But it's not a Jersey gloves and stick. Absolutely. Do you think the pants are on, too?

No, it looks like no.

What a superstar.

Andrew, you are a jeb. Sabertooth Entertainment. Yeah, maybe they don't have Hockey Ops on this page. Okay, let me look for Hockey Ops.

Sean Henry is the CEO. Michelle Kennedy is the President in Alternate Government.

I got it here. There you go. Okay. Oh, Hockey off. He's Senior Advisor. At the top, they have all of it here. We had staff listings. Here's Hockey staff.

Yeah, but here's the deal with Barry's thing. Who's above Barry? Nobody.

Also, in terms of Hockey staff, he He was Top Dog. I did not know that. I'm not going to lie. I could have swore David Poeyle was present.

No. Remember, they made a big deal about David Poil stepping aside.

Wasn't that at the draft where they spent 10 minutes thanking David Poeyle before every single pin?

The other team was like, David Poeyle, you sure are a guy. It's like, Bro, okay, we get it, man. We get it.

How do you think Brian Poeyle got this job?

Stop.

Jesse, stop it. What do you guys think? Why do I know the name Jeff Keelty? I feel like he was in a trade trade. What do you guys think?

How did he get there?

Stop it, Jess. You're being bad. You're being bad.

Quality of character?

Yes. Resume.

Stop. You're a piece of crap. How dare you? Listen, it's the preds. You got to have a poil in there. They have to be a part of it.

And there's a coach. Yeah, they have one. His name's...

Oh, that's for Todd Richard. Yeah, Todd Richards. Assistant Coach.

There's Darby Hendrickson, former relief.

There you go. All right. Todd Richards has been on some teams.

He sure has.

Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Okay. So to answer your question, I mean, Poil is there. So if Trotz wants to lean on him, he can. Having Trotz as the first-time GM, never been an executive, and no one above him is a mistake..
