They get it.
Yeah, it's been a long time.
And so next year, there's going to be immediate Carolina-Florida storyline that's already baked into... Even if Carolina doesn't win the series and win the Cup, you already get that Eastern Conference friction of Carolina versus Florida right away.
And how much is Florida going to puff their chests out coming into next year?
Like, hey, we're all healthy now.
And so that impact, I think, is going to be huge.
And to your point, if you...
Yes.
So that's part of it.
I also think, like, we get frustrated in the short term of, like, oh, people don't want to play in Canada.
I would imagine there's going to be a byproduct of that, I suspect, from Canadian players.
Like, what do you mean?
It's awesome.
It can be awesome to play here.
We had Carson Carls talking about, like, I want to play in a Canadian city.
As we get more of these departures to get out of Toronto, Vancouver, like, whatever it is, Ottawa.
I suspect there's going to be a growing group that says, no, I do want to play for the glory.
I do want to play in the city where it's hockey-centric and is the focal point.
And so it might take four or five years to have that sentiment start to grow out.
But hopefully that's part of the dynamic that evolves.
