So, I mean, first of all, great identification of talent from inside the organization.

I think that's

You don't want these people to get out to other teams, so that's great, just generally speaking.

Callie Larson, we've talked about a number of times, the change in the development program inside the Edmonton Oilers organization over the last couple of years has been...

uh spectacular um he's a big part of that and oiler fans can see that in the number of kids that came up last year uh either you know part for a few games or for uh in josh samansky's case most of the season uh and impacted games in a positive way that you know that's a lot of his work uh toby cell line and i know a little a little bit less about but it's hard to argue with the results of

Curt Hill, I think he's an up-and-comer.

He's a, you know, no disrespect, I'm not saying this disrespect, Curt is a hockey nerd, an absolute hockey nerd.

He uses his eyeballs, he uses analytics.

I've talked to him at the rink a few times.

I really like the way he operates.

And then Michael Percati, I just think that he is...

I'd be hard-pressed to see both of them, but Michael Percetti for sure in conversations for much more senior roles in an NHL organization.

Well, I don't know that the interest has ever been more.

Like, I mean, those were heady times that you referred to.

I think the key here is, is that the organization identified people who kind of, you know, are, you know, in Mark Partetti's case, came from outside the organization, but was more active.

I don't want to call him a fan, but, you know, that sort of role and identified him and, you know, instead of this person going off like Tim Bards in particular or Tyler Delo going off to other organizations, they made aggressive moves to get him into the organization.

And then when they saw...
