You take this guy.

But it's funny how we doubt everything when you don't have to make that decision.

And that's where I am now.

I'm saying, what's the best thing for the Leafs to do to be really competitive for the next five years?

And is it rebuild or retool?

And let's worry about Austin Matthews.

He's only got two years left.

What's he going to want?

So there's a lot of things going on in Jacob's mind right now.

I hope he makes the right decision.

Well, I think you've got to take a little bit of time.

You can't think about it in the moment.

I mean, listen, it happened to me.

I mean, it's almost identical to Colorado in that we had 121 points in Washington, and then we lost to Montreal in the first round.

And you sit back and you go, what went wrong?

Or did...

Did injuries or did you try to make up excuses?

I think when you look at it overall, Colorado was a great team, but were they a great regular season team and not a playoff team?

Because they haven't won since 22, I think.

And I would really have to rethink the roster a little bit, the makeup of the roster.
