00:00 My phone rang. The New York Rangers just offered Joe Sackett $15 million
00:05 upfront signing bonus. This is a crisis. Joe Sackett was the call around the
00:13 avalanche. Charlie Lyons can become a movie mogul. Life after Marc Messier for
00:20 the New York Rangers. We needed to do something to plug that hole. The avalanche
00:24 lost eight million last year. Once we launched this offer sheet they were
00:28 gonna have seven days. Everybody's watching. The connection of the movie was
00:32 so out of the frame. Will the Avs match the Rangers offer? I had no idea.
00:38 Wednesday August 13th that's the Avs deadline. We're gonna go into this like
00:43 Warriors. A city that loves its hockey and its team's best player holds its
00:48 collective breath. My job was to find the money.
