#96: We're Talking About Braden Schneider Again

August 6, 2026·1h 25m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Episode 96 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Emerson Etem episode. Joe and Eric dig into whether Braden Schneider's one-year, arbitration-avoiding deal actually makes him easier to trade, tying it to the Yankees' demotions of Anthony Volpe and Jason Domínguez and the case for trading a prospect a year too early rather than a year too late. A Scott Morrow mailbag question spirals into a standing moratorium on trading with the Carolina Hurricanes and a rundown of the Rangers' worst draft misses—Lias Andersson, Vitali Kravtsov, and Dylan McIlrath over Cam Fowler and Vladimir Tarasenko—with credit to Chris Drury for firing Gordie Clark's regime before it could pass on Gabe Perreault. Also covered: whether James Dolan trading the Knicks and Rangers for the Yankees would actually be a downgrade and early picks on which NHL coach gets fired first. Plus: the return of jail-or-no-jail airport rulings, a listener asking what it costs to never hear Joe say "catheter" again, Morgan Freeman versus James Spader to narrate your life, ranch versus blue cheese, and a F***, Marry, Kill featuring Chip's imaginary sister.Watch & subscribe to the podcast on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to Blueshirt Banter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for $85/year to read and comment on all of our great content!
