Caleb Malhotra

optimistic to the point of folly, right?

Like, it's still effectively delusional.

Well, I don't think the club has come to that moment that I'm waiting for where they accept that they've got nothing and begin to behave accordingly.

And I don't think, you know, like, I think, again, the idea that, like, Heronic, I say Heronic for second overall to San Jose to you, and you're like, I think you'd have to add.

And I don't think the Canucks would even consider it, right?

And it's like that gap is a problem.

I still think in terms of how this organization maneuvers.

well the coach too like the coach you know because that's another angle from the Canucks ending up in three the three hole where Caleb Malhotra should be the betting favorite to be their pick uh by by no means is that locked in because also a GM will have influence on this yes right um you know I think Caleb Malhotra should be the betting favorite based off of

where the club's process was trending when Patrick Alvin was at the helm.

Right.

There might be a totally, there's going to be a twist on this story at some point.

Right.

And we'll see if it actually fundamentally alters evaluations and organizational stances, but also the coach, like,

if the Canucks have their eye on Caleb Malhotra, Manny Malhotra is not going to be the next head coach of this team, which is deeply unfair to a super talented bench boss, by the way, like we should prominently note that, that that's like not fair to Manny, who I think is an extraordinarily talented bench boss based off of his, you know, two year record in the American league.

It's not like untoward.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, no, no, no.

But it's an unfair spot for someone to be in professionally, right?

Yeah, it's unfortunate.

Sure.
