So I just think we're going to be way more prepared for that travel.

Well, first of all, it's obviously very exciting to have the control of the number one pick and, and again, just props to our players who continued playing on, not knowing, you know, with expansion, will they even be part of it that fought so hard for us?

And I think it shows a lot about the character of our players and,

And how much they love the city of Vancouver.

I mean, it's pretty amazing that we were actually one point out of fifth place finishing in our first season and ended up with the first overall pick.

But, you know, for me and my scouting department, I mean, it's lucky for me because I've been out of a college game only one year.

So I know all these players quite well and I know them.

all the tangibles and intangibles that they can bring to an organization.

And there are quite a few franchise players in this draft year.

I like that.

We know that we get the first pick overall.

And again, if, if expansion depletes one position, it's going to change your outlook on maybe that pick.

So it will also come down to position at the same time, because there's great players that play both positions.

And I'd say there's,

there's a handful of really good draft picks that are going to be program changers.

Um, I agree with you.

It was something special.

I got goosebumps every night and I was brought to tears a few times.

I mean, I'm, I'm not sure if those emotions will go away next season.

Um, I used to get a little bit more used to this response, but the fan response was incredible.
