To me, they brought in more players because I think they're all in.

What they wanted to do, I was joking, saying they wanted to guarantee themselves at least to get to the finals.

They grabbed Corey Perry.

They are a knock on wood for the most part.

A lot of their players didn't go to the Olympics just based on their nationality.

They should be flying.

Now, they haven't played great coming out of the break that much, but I think they're a top-tier team.

But I was surprised at teams that I think could have pushed themselves even further down.

the chain of command, like Carolina adding another special player, that type of stuff.

Vegas, they went and got Rasmus Anderson, which was kind of their big trade.

Yeah, but not a big splash, but you look at it,

I think teams were fine being status quo going, it's a weird year, and guess what?

The Cup champs aren't good.

We don't have to go through them.

That's the other thing.

There's going to be a new Stanley Cup champion this year, in my opinion, unless Florida goes 20-0 down the stretch.

Not going to happen.

And we were actually, sorry to interrupt, we were applauding the moves because Brandon Carlo was a tough guy to play against.

And Scott Lawton was the type of guy you needed, hard to play against.

You know, a centerized position can kind of go up and down.
