To me, it's a slam dunk.
He's on the team.
Thank you very much, Bob.
Appreciate that.
Yes.
I mean, for sure.
Let's start with different regime.
You know, the organization, which, you know, is really come under Stan Bowman.
They've spent a bunch more money on development.
And I think they've surrounded the group in the HL, the coaching staff, with some support groups.
there and then I think what they've also done is create a mindset with that coaching staff about what's the priority and where they should be focused and it should be on development of players and consequently in a very big game against a very hot team in Henderson when they went to overtime William Nichol ended up
starting three-on-three in overtime.
And, I mean, that is just something that didn't exist in prior regimes.
Oh, of course.
Well, let's deal with Paul and Chuck first.
You know, as you know, and we've talked about, and even I've had a couple conversations with some of the Orndorff's group, I was pretty critical of how...
They focused on the development of younger players when Olin ended up as the head coach.
To be fair to him, he had very limited experience when Jay Woodcroft and Dave Madsen played.
you know basically moved up to the Oilers and so a little bit unfair but I but I think he kind of just went back to what he knew to be his comfort zone and didn't have a lot of support around him both in Bakersfield and in Edmonton and I think when they did that
you know, he took off.
