I'm not saying that is one.

But there's just a lot that goes into analyzing what's going on around the league.

I did hear Keith Kelly talking about, you know, Buffalo and Montreal kind of snuck up on them.

I found that a little bit surprising on the basis that Buffalo has had four, one or two picks.

10.
