00:0025 puck talk live right here on this Tuesday on the early line

00:08on SportsGrid.

00:09He is Donnie right side.

00:10I am Ben Stevens.

00:11Now the Donnie dry sidle household goes back into the

00:14Donnie right side household after the Edmonton Oilers came

00:18up just a little bit short last night in the Stanley Cup final

00:22in game number 7.

00:24Leon dry sidle did not score a goal throughout the Stanley

00:27Cup final, but that's neither here nor there.

00:30The reason Donnie right sides household is celebrating on

00:33this ceremonious day is because Matt met Matt.

00:37They Mitch cough is on his way to Philadelphia.

00:42The RS.

00:42When was he selected in the 2022 NHL draft?

00:47He's been or was it last summer the Bedard?

00:50Yeah, it was it was the question was going to be who would

00:53actually go number one between Mitch cough and Bedard.

00:56Obviously Bedard meant number one because you knew he was

00:58coming over right away.

00:59There was a chance for the Philadelphia Flyers that would

01:01never even ever see Mitch cough if he wasn't released from

01:03his contract, but the expectations been were three to four

01:06years out of when he was drafted.

01:08Now granted, he's not 32 years old.

01:10He's I believe 18 or 19 when he was drafted.

01:12So eventually when he came over that would be fine.

01:14But now we're taking a look at him coming over much sooner

01:17than expected, which means the Flyers took a risk but got

01:19an absolute steal in the draft last year with how quickly

01:23he's coming over for them.

01:24So that whole rebuilding process for the Flyers ends right

01:28now the minute he comes over and now you're looking for

01:30expectations.

01:31Certainly the minute he takes the ice in Philadelphia.

01:34And the Flyers were pretty close and we're certainly in

01:37playoff contention down the final few weeks of the NHL regular

01:42season just missing out on a wild card spot.

01:44So Matt, they Mitch cough makes his way to Philadelphia already

01:49has a season points prop.

01:51The over under stands at 46 and a half.

01:53I can only imagine Donnie you are betting me over for Mitch

01:56cough and his rookie campaign in the National Hockey League.

02:00Yeah, one of those players that the minute he comes over

02:02as basically a teenager Ben.

02:03He's the best player on the team and expected to be one

02:06of those players.

02:07That's going to have an impact on an NHL season.

02:09Unlike that.

02:10We've seen and I don't know since Eric Lindros coming up.

02:12No, those expectations are lofty and rightfully so because

02:15he should be seen as the savior of the Flyers franchise and

02:18keep in mind dating back to when the Flyers inception of

02:21what the late 1960s.

02:22That team is absolutely beloved in Philadelphia and has fallen

02:25off a cliff.

02:26Now that you have a new obviously coach with Tortorella.

02:29They have a new regime in general manager.

02:30Danny Breyer.

02:31You also brought over Keith Jones was a longtime Philadelphia

02:33Flyer is almost that front office PR guy that can actually

02:36talk to the fan base and explain to them exactly what's going

02:39on and a guy that most people like so things are looking up

02:42for the Flyers, but there are massive expectations.

02:45Now the draft coming up this week and free agency.

02:47The Flyers should be expected to make the playoffs next year

02:50as you pointed out Ben.

02:51They weren't expected to do anything this year and base

02:53basically should have made the playoffs, but they did fold

02:55late, but that's obviously the talent on the team as opposed

02:58to the coaching or the front office.

03:00Things should start getting better immediately in Philadelphia

03:03with these news.

03:04Still a relatively long price on Philly 55 to 1 to win next

03:08year's Stanley Cup.

03:09The team that won it this year is the favorite entering next

03:13year at 9 to 1.

03:14One of the things I love about hockey.

03:16One of the things I love about the Stanley Cup championship

03:18odds is unlike the NBA or even the NFL where last year's

03:23champ or last year's runner-up or last year's team that played

03:26in a conference championship gets the benefit from the odds

03:29makers and maybe rightfully so so many teams around the same

03:34price and compacted there in the top five.

03:37We've got five teams at a 10 to 1 number or less all separated

03:42by a dollar then the Golden Knights.

03:44They're at 11 to 1 as well.

03:46The top six prices DRS all just $2 of distinction between those

03:51numbers to hoist the Stanley Cup is next to you.

03:56Very much different than other sports here and you see it time

03:58and time again.

03:59It's almost like if you can just get hot at the end of the

04:01season have a good goaltender.

04:03You can ride that all the way to a Stanley Cup, which makes

04:06it fun for a lot of fan bases.

04:07The parody truly is there and as you pointed out those odds

04:10are certainly pointing to that where if you say right now,

04:13like a baby, you know Panthers just won the Stanley Cup.

04:15They're going to dominate next year.

04:16You know, we're saying that in the NBA like well who's going

04:18to beat the Celtics?

04:19I don't think anybody's saying right now.

04:20Like, oh my goodness.

04:21Nobody's going to be able to beat the Panthers next year.

04:23They should run away with things.

04:24So I love the parody and hockey gives every team a chance

04:27and as long as you make it into the tournament at the end

04:29of the season, you actually have a legitimate chance to make

04:31a deep run as long as you get good goaltending.

04:35Will next year finally be the year only two teams in those

04:39top 10 prices that we showed you from the Great White North

04:43now, it will be 31 years plus since a Canadian team last

04:47won the Stanley Cup the 1993 Montreal Canadiens.

04:52That's more than a three-decade drought.

04:54I believe the NFL award show is on Thursday and that will

04:58be when we crown this year's winners, but Connor McDavid

05:02after winning the cons might albeit in a losing effort more

05:05than likely to win the Hart trophy.

05:08That's the MVP is the favorite entering next year at plus

05:12180 follow followed by the avalanches.

05:15Nathan McKinnon Donnie's guy the sway man, Jeremy Swayman

05:20or on the early line.

05:21Our three comes away next.
