So you have to change a few things.

But talking about running it back, I'd say they have as good a chance as anyone, which means very little chance.

It's a tough, tough, tough thing to do.

16-3.

Did we just see one of the best Stanley Cup performances out of any team in the NHL in the salary cap era?

Yes, for sure.

16-3, it could have been worse.

They could have won one or two more games.

It was remarkable the way that Carolina did this.

Final, now that the season is done, like more of our conversation is going to revolve around the draft and trades.

And as you mentioned, offer sheets and all this kind of stuff in the off season.

When you look back on this season, that was Carolina's on top after all of it.

The number one team, as you always mentioned, only give out one cup.

I know you check with the league on a daily basis.

I get that.

What's going to stand out to you from this season?

Like the big stories for Brian Brook that you followed.

Well, I think Carolina's, I think the Stanley Cup winner is always a big story.

And also, the way they've done it very methodically, a coach that stuck with it, they made systematic additions to address the shortcomings they had.

They did a really scientific job of putting the team together.
