Playing on that top line with a Kirill Kaprizov, with either a Matt Zuccarello, maybe a Matt Boldy, if you really wanted to go top-heavy there, that line would be, I think, transformative for the Wilds' offense.
It would probably require you, for cap reasons, to move on from a Ryan Hartman, but that's where...
that's where I think Jesper Wallstead's trade value does carry it.
Um, maybe the other super, super short list in my mind is, uh, 87 Sidney Crosby, uh, just because he is still playing at an elite level.
It's less term, much older guy, but that is a, that's, that's a different animal.
And I think people can understand that.
Um, but Robert Thomas, Sidney Crosby might be, and that's a very weird, weird, like combo for you to say, because two very different things, but, uh,
different situations for sure i do think too when you think about let's be cutthroat here you can only play one goalie in the playoffs granted it's not it would be nice to have a backup plan but also one if you spin zone it it's nice to take that temptation of
You look at what you look at Dallas stars.
I think it was last year.
They yanked Jake Ottinger, you know, after whatever, two or three goals.
And it's like, you have that temptation of going away from the guy that, you know, should be a net to the backup.
Not that I don't, I think yes, for Wallace, it's a much more capable backup in this situation.
It's a one, a one B, but there's no, there's no tinkering there.
There's no Mark Andre Fleur, Philip Gustafson from, I think two or three years ago under Dean Edison, where he,
I think Gus almost essentially wins you a game on the road, and then it's, well, maybe let's mix it up and go with the other guy.
You shouldn't.
The other thing is, what we've seen this season, this bounce back,
it is there is a reality where this is just what it is and then it's going to fall back off the shelf and last season um jesper walsted in the ahl floundering maybe is who he is i personally do not believe that
But there is a reality where that's potentially what is the case.
