So that's one of the motivations.

And the other one is get to the cap floor.

Well, if a bunch of teams you just mentioned that are below the cap right now, their internal work is going to push them above the floor anyways.

Yeah, does that take them out of them?

And especially with some of the teams you mentioned there, the reason this situation got created is he's not getting, right or wrongly, he's not getting frequent enough playing time.

Well, does San Jose, Anaheim, and Columbus offer those same situations for him?

I would say San Jose is very much... I know there's rusher spots, but they're trying to push towards playoffs as well and want to be a very competitive team.

Anaheim.

They're in a weird spot, even after they signed some guys.

They're either really old or really young.

I don't know if Gallagher bridges that gap for them.

And they've got Killorn.

They've had Trouba.

Are they going to keep leaning into that, or are they past that phase?

A lot of these teams that you mentioned, too, feel like they're kind of graduating out of that phase.

Washington, if they sign Ovi...

Right?

Like, are they in a spot where, like, oh, we got to bring in other players in the final end of our deals, or are we trying to inject this with younger players to give this kind of one more spin?

And the Washington team actually, like, looks pretty decent as well.

They need a couple more things as far as guys coming through, but...
