00:00Let me start with Gensel. I said yesterday that he, I believe, has a brilliant career
00:10because of Sidney Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Hornquist. I thought those cup teams made
00:17him a star. And I thought he was good in Carolina. I didn't think he was great. And he's replacing
00:24Stamkos. The fans didn't like it. I think they'll like Jake Gensel, but he's not what
00:29he was in Pittsburgh. I'm sorry. I'll never believe that.
00:33Except for one thing. He's got this guy named Kucherov on his line. He can make me look
00:39good and I can't skate. I get it. Like, here's the thing, Scotty. Steven Stamkos, and I get
00:44it, from five on five, he scored 40 goals. Even with Kucherov. How many is Jake going
00:51to get? 40? 42? And you're paying him nine million more than Stamkos is getting in Nashville.
00:58I didn't like the move. And I don't like the way, more importantly, Scotty, I don't
01:01like the way it went down. Like, I know that, like, he's not owing anything because he won
01:06there. They paid him. But you need some transparency on what happened here. Right? And here's the
01:11thing, Scotty. They took care of everybody on that franchise. They took care of Point
01:16and Kucherov and Sergeyev and Brandon Hagel and Eric Chernak. But not this guy? I don't
01:23get it. Like, I don't get it. Everybody else got loaned. Everybody got deals, Scotty, including
01:29into the next decade, but not Steven Stamkos. And Breeze Bar, the GM, said, well, I don't want to
01:34get into the details. No, I'm sorry. For this player, you have to get into the details. Like,
01:39we need transparency on why this guy, not for me necessarily, but for the fans. Like, this guy's
01:44loved. He had a C on his jersey for championship and captain. Like, he was owed better. Like,
01:50he was owed an explanation to the public of why this went down. I get it. You want to move on,
01:54think it's not the team didn't do well in the playoffs. They lost to the Panthers in the first
01:58round. I get it. But a little bit more transparency on why this guy isn't still there.
