Aaron Ward

It's not a motley crew.

I mean, they have names back there, and guys are fully capable, but the amazing part is...

They're all able to move their feet.

They're all able to play offensive.

They're all able to play physical.

I mean, look at the dish out that Walker gave on Carlson.

I mean, these guys understand what the job is.

They execute it incredibly well, and they're not going to go down, specifically maybe Slavin, yes, clearly for his accolades, but the rest of them,

They're there and they perform a duty without expecting like a major pat on the back or needing headlines.

And they do an amazing job at it.

And they're not all the same kind of style player.

Andrew Ladd taking out Rolison and Andrew Ladd taking out – Well, there you go.

That's right.

There you go.

I won't put it out there.

I think the most fun is looking at this roster and getting everybody's little story, right?

So, Carolina, everybody thought, all right, for Carolina to go to the next step, to finally win, they got to get a, like, we lost out on Gensel, we lost out on Renton, and wait a second, we're bringing in Ehlers.

Like, this is a Winnipeg team that is recently disappointed.

They're supposed to, like, it's almost as if he's transferring from one disappointment to another environment where, well, why are you bringing that here?

And instead, he emerges as a key piece for this team on a third line.
