Trade Deadline Reflections | Real Kyper & Bourne Full Episode

1. I literally lol'ed when McKee said he was going to lose sleep over Rantanen

2. Danato needs to sign in Chicago

3. Best opening in show history.

4. Blue chip prospects for the Leafs are not blue chip prospects everywhere in the league. Leafs nation always overvalues prospects. I think the moves they made will be more beneficial for the team than a Rantanen deal would have been.

5. Wow, really, Minten, Cowan, and two 1st for Mikko

6. woof. a lot of copium in TOR.

7. I might be wrong but wasn't the Avs willing to give rantenan a contract around Mackinnons deal for 12.6 but because they didn't want to pay him more than that they traded him despite rantenan saying he was willing to take a "discount" afterwards. And now rantenan goes to dallas for less… thats interesting…

8. That was all the bruins could get because he had to be moved….. he wasn't getting signed because of Pasternaq

9. Sammy is like "You just made the LIST!" lol

10. 8:02 what does that say about Marner? Here's the Leaf's saying we're willing to spend $13 million on Rantanen. That would leave how much for Marner? Do they know that Marner is not wanting to sign with them?

11. Panthers sealed the deal in the east today. They may sweep their way through the playoffs.

12. Go Avs Go!!!!!

13. I was surprised Donato and Murphy didnt get traded. I was actually hoping the Leafs would acquire them.

14. @sportsnet

    Heres an idea 💯

    For the @nhl to get better and create chaos among the teams
    Much like how the nfl creates real hype

    Change the length of a max contract from being 8 yrs max
    To 5.5 years max contract . Yes i added a half yr to the contract max

    Because
    1. Player gets a shorter contract ,ability to relocate if wishing ,not resiging with said franchise
    2. Instead of everyone wondering what a player is gonna do in the last year of his contract , having half yr really forces teams to make deals and /or trades on a consistent basis.
    3.with this idea to create chaos, hype ,fun here is the kicker ……

    2 trade deadlines with the 82 game season

    With 1 trade deadline focusing on goaltending and defense

    And the 2nd with forwards or a combination such as centers with defencemen

    Or wingers with goalies only

    Only these players can be traded during period of games such 1 to 41 42 to 82

    Something like that

    I think it cause so many more people to watch there teams and have you the gms actually be forced in a much quicker approach to rapidly improve the teams

    As there some teams that get hot/cold could do a switch early

    Thoughts

15. The Leafs getting Rantanen makes 0 sense. I'm thinking he's either making this up or Brad was smoking crack. And Brad couldn't have been smoking crack because he got Laughton and Carlo while keeping Cowan.

16. Ya only the leafs would think , We are losing JT off the books, we need to find another forward to fill the core 4 taking up all the money… Because we know how will it works

17. Im surprised Canes considered that offer. That would mean the Canes (cup contenders btw) ultimately trade Necas and Drury for Taylor Hall for the 2025 Playoffs. It would however allow Canes to buy Laughton, Carlo and possibly Boeser for themselves so idk

18. Leaf fans wanting to keep core 4 going, knowing it works so well lmao , paying 4 forwards so much, lmao piss off

19. Col got Necas for Mikko, which works better in Col. Then they get Coyle from Bos, Brock, Lindgren, EJ….brand new team with heavy reinforcements. Wow

20. Carolina shaking in their boots, trade Rantanen to anyone literally anyone except the Leafs because they are too afraid to face them in the playoffs. Pfft what a biased delusional take.

21. Steve you forgot about the Leafs secret playoff weapon Hakanpaa. He will be on the Leafs 3rd pair with OEL. Beef!!!

22. Id have taken Dallas' package too. Stankoven is a way better prospect and they got two 3rds rounders as well on top of it. Cowan and Minten are completely overblown because they're Leafs.

23. Never give up first round draft picks.

24. Marner will walk, Boeser will walk, we are actually sister franchises that go through the same crap. If a team needs to end a losing streak, or a player is going for a record, or need the first goal against their old team, we both let it happen. 4-1 leads are the most dangerous for both of our teams haha. The only difference is we don't make the playoffs as often but go further when we do.

25. Takes more than one guy to win a cup Sammy (which is a girls name)

26. stankoven 2 firsts and 2 thirds is way better than cowen, minten and 2 firsts….

27. Marchand to the panthers ……. just to screw the leafs.

28. Thanks Elliot for calling out these clowns. 31:42 Cowen and Minton over Stakoven? Dreaming 33:11 Colorado never offered 12… Yeah because Rantanen was likely stuck at 12.5-14.

29. I love to listen to passionate hockey talk. Just wish people would stop falsely promoting the tax issue. I heard tax difference of 4M mentioned between Colorado and Dallas. Puckpedia does state roughly this number, however they also admit to following:

    "The calculator does not factor in the proportion of income taxed at different rates based on where games are played. For instance, a player on the Calgary Flames may earn part of their income in lower-tax Alberta but still owe U.S. taxes for road games."

    I'm sure taxation has many other variables which make it even less straightforward to compare than this detail.
    Would be nice if numbers are actually verified before laid to to general public in this fashion

30. Leafs ain’t doing nada . We had o Reilly n he is better than Laughton . Carlo is good but not good enough . This all falls on the soft core

31. Hey McKee give it up with the Panthers have no fans. go ahead and replay last years playoffs.

32. Marner n Tavares Need To Go after this season . Then Brad can actually get tough grit players

33. Would they be able to sign knies though if they had Rantenen and marner signed . Oh well next year we can sign marner and go and get a stud winger who can work with nylander . Bennett???

34. No state tax in Dallas

35. man as a local in north texas, dougs words about dallas felt so damn good to hear. casuals in comments on social media dont know stick and puck when all they talk about is their confusion on hockey in dallas as a concept with southern hockey markets but a respected Canadian sportscaster calling dallas A GREAT HOCKEY TOWN is so so so validating

36. KYPREOS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO KEEP MARNER’S LEVERAGE

37. As a bruins fan, I am more offended of Marchy going to the cats vs the leafs. I'll still watch the panthers during the playoffs, but it was an emotional day as a fan. Think we got good value in trades other than that, that's how it goes sometimes.

38. Tre has done an exceptional job in building this team. Love the pick ups.

39. Hahahahaahaha

40. Dudes
    Arguably the rivalry started with the last trade that they made
    'thank you Kessel'
    There is no way in hell Boston deals Marchand to Toronto and there's an equal place in hell for every Toronto fan that allows it
    … But then I do like spicy food and hot weather

41. Gotta get Doug a better mic.

42. I think Kyper was right that Mikko had never the intention to sign Carolina. He told himself that Raleigh was not the place to live nxt 8 years. He had few options and he chose Dallas. Period.

43. Carolina did not wanted Rantanen to sign Leafs, because , as Kyper said, they are , and were afraid of Leafs in play offs. They pushed him to West. 100% correct conclusions.

44. Thank you super fan Sammy
