Host: “Okay, you mentioned the money in this regard.
Anthony di Marco: “I believe this range is 5.3, and I think the salary cap could be about $110 million in a year. I mean, I mean, I can’t imagine Mike Matheson getting less. So maybe you’ll get $6 to $7 million, like they did. The salary cap goes up, even in a world with a $110 million salary cap, do you want to pay the third pair of defenders north of $6 million.

Like I had to get my calculator out, it was my friend, back to my days in high school, but like, I just couldn’t imagine it would work, especially when you’re someone like Struble (like Xhekaj) you can sign a deep veteran left shooter defender in a free agency, or a deep defender in a free agency. So, I mean, I don’t know. I just want to think, yes, they can get him into a team-friendly deal, but if I were to be on a third pair, I could imagine how friendly it might be. I just think it does come down to the long term of Guller and Mike Matheson. ”
Host: “I don’t think you need to go up with the hat. You may be more flexible. It’s interesting, you said, this is something we discussed yesterday, we’re going to continue the conversation at 12:00 today, this is Mike Matheson is not Mike Matheson is not someone like David Reibacher, not trying to jump in, and not needing this decision, and not needing this decision, and this is Matheson that doesn’t need to extend, and not needing today.
It doesn’t even need to happen before the camp begins. You can enter the season if you want and you can wait. Very good, you can make this decision. But, it can be said that David Reinbacher shines in training camp. He started the season. They paired. Everyone fell in love with it. You might think, yes, I like the next few years. Then it changes your decision about extension. ”
Di Marco: “Yeah 100% and look, I don’t think you have to make that decision now, because what if the Canadains are way out of the playoff picture come the trade deadline. Mike Matheson is probably one of the top rental defenseman on the market, and you could probably fetch a first-round pick plus for him, but I think the Canadains are going to be in the playoff picture this year.
The way this blue line shaking is if you have Matheson and Reinbacher in the second pair, then you have Guhle and Carrier in the third pair, Lane Hutson and Dobson as your top pair. First, in my opinion, this has the potential to be one of the best defensive capabilities in the Atlantic division. Second, like the real drop between Hutson and Dobson, the magnitude from the second to the third pair will be higher than the rest.

To me, it’s like 1A, 1B, the second pair of that team. So I mean left, right, each pair, in each pair, and then you take Xhekaj and Struble as your seven, eight. Like, I won’t run into it now because for Canadians who are starting to quit the other side of reconstruction, you don’t have to rush to make those decisions, but just worry about here and now, now and now, providing Canadians with a very good option to have the most diverse and talented blue line, even at meetings, maybe at meetings. ”
