But you're going to need that kind of effort, or you're going to... I mean, if I'm the coach or if I'm the management, I'm going, Jesus...

Is this the kind of guy we really want, that when the chips are down, that they don't give their best effort?

That's not what you want to see, I don't think.

Well, I would think thinking about it, I think they need at least six new faces in there.

And the right kind of faces.

And, I mean, you know what I mean?

There's some talent.

You know, when you talk about if Nyes has a better year, Matthews, Nylander, even Easton Cowan, who I think is going to be a really good player.

But you've got to get, to be complete, you've got to have those guys that are willing to go into the, not only into the corners, but into the rough games.

and play that kind of style.

I mean, I'm not talking about going out and get Ryan Reeves, but I mean the guys that will not only stand up for your teammates, but it will be hard to play against all over the ice.

I think that's what they were going for this year a little bit, but I think they missed out on that really badly.

Well, I don't know.

I mean, if 31 other GMs are not watching any of the Leaf games, maybe, but if they're watching the Leaf games, I think it would be a pretty hard sell.

You'd have to lose the trade.

You know, you'd have to lose the trade all the time.

But, I mean, if you're willing to, like, almost retool, sometimes you have to lose the trade so you can have enough resources to make better picks in the future.

And, I mean, there's some guys in there that I think that are just getting too old in the tooth or just not the fits that you would want if you want a successful team.

Well, I mean, somehow when you play in that building in the playoffs, and I mean, I think Montreal is going to get 100 points.

I mean, they only have to win six more games out of their last 11, I think they have.
