We're still moved forward.

And here's the thing about it.

I find it distasteful when a player leaves and everyone, and especially local media, just like, okay, here comes, it's pinata time.

Now we're just going to slam them on the way out.

Like, okay, good riddance.

Here's your hat.

What's your hurry?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I find it really distasteful.

I understand why it happens and fans like it.

I get it.

I understand that.

But what I'm going to say about Brady Kachuk in Ottawa might sound like an insult, but I don't intend it as an insult.

He's probably better as a complementary player on the Florida Panthers where he doesn't have to be the captain.

That's Alexander Barkov as opposed to being the guy leading the charge in Ottawa.

Everybody's got a place.

Everybody's got a spot.

Everyone's got a role where they are most comfortable and most effective, right?

And if you force someone to be something that they're not, it can be really uncomfortable.

um what's the old line cows don't make ham you can't make some you can't make someone turn someone into something that that they're not this one does seem like a better fit for brady kachuk there were plenty of times where you saw brady go into crazy mode and you would see the eyeballs rolling on the bench like okay here here we go again here comes the show um
