And again, day one, and we'll see what they end up doing with DeBrusque.
voice-verified
We'll see if they end up doing anything with Elias Pettersson, whether it's Brock Besser, the Philip Hronik thing.
voice-verified
One continues to be intriguing, I think, for a lot of people here too.
voice-verified
But as far as, you know, how did Vancouver do on the first day?
voice-verified
It's all moves that made sense.
voice-verified
I think the last time the three of us spoke, we talked about, we know what happened in the room recently.
voice-verified
And there seems to be, and whether it's at the draft with Caleb Malhotra, or whether it's Brendan Gallagher, or whether it's Luke Shen, or whether it's Jamie Oleksiak, there is a real premium being placed here on having really good people in the room.
voice-verified
Like having really likable people and having good people in that room and around that organization.
voice-verified
It's too coincidental not to say that it's deliberate because they're going after, like right now, a lot of these, and these are all players too.
voice-verified
I don't want to disqualify that they're good hockey players, but a lot of these too have a sidebar that their culture moves, their good culture moves.
voice-verified
Huge ones.
voice-verified
I think it's always easier to play better when you're comfortable.
voice-verified
I know that there's the idea that you don't have to like someone to do this with them, and I understand that.
voice-verified
And there have been some situations where there have been teammates that have openly amongst one another hated each other, and they still won Stanley Cups.
voice-verified
You think of Bob Ganey and Serge Savard.
voice-verified
No love lost there.
voice-verified
They just went on and won a bunch of Stanley Cups.
voice-verified
But by and large, I don't know how many games Vancouver is going to win, but I know it's not going to be miserable when they lose.
voice-verified
I do think that it is easier to stand up for teammates that you like because it doesn't feel like you're putting on a performance.
voice-verified
Like when someone runs whomever, if Oleksiak doesn't take your pick and he goes at him, part of it is like, well, I'm expected to do this.
