For us, and, you know, when we've been talking about these D-men in this draft class, we spend a lot of time saying, you know, they're –

all the different profiles of D-men feel so different.

And so, hey, you can take whoever you want and it's fine.

But for San Jose, like, is Reid the one that makes the most sense because he's the one that probably has the power play upside that feels like it is kind of missing in San Jose?

Yeah, and look, we were talking to the conversation earlier today as well at the top of the show, so you can go find it on the podcast.

But are you starting, if you were to do it, is it like the moment when you've actually had the asset mature to where you need it to go?

Now, you brought up the example of Roenick's kind of at peak value right now.

Marcus Pedersen had a tough year, especially as a minus 19 player.

for a guy who's a defensive D man, I know that's not everything, but I'm just trying to frame it of like for a defensive D man, he did not have a very good year.

No.

And so are you kind of doing that as a low, as much as you right now, like want assets draft picks and you want all these things, are you doing it at a very, very low moment for, for a team that's in your division as well?

What would you be getting from them in that scenario?

Is it worth just waiting to try to have the rehabilitation process of the asset?

Well, so San Jose does have two set first round picks.

That's a different conversation.

Yeah.

But yeah, that would fit also in the mold too.

It's like, Hey, the, the age range is 23.

Yeah.

So he's not, you know, he's, he's not too old.
