Artificial intelligence has actually been around, you know, seven or eight years.

Including extraterrestrial intelligence.

Okay, now we're getting heavy, Matt.

Let's get an answer.

We're going to have E.T.

No, I think it's apparent they need to hire a president of hockey operations.

That is a massive organization and somebody who can figure out what the vision is going to be and then implement it by getting the general manager and then filling out the staff, whatever holes they need to fill.

I don't know the exact structure that they have.

There's obviously a bunch of names on titles on the website, but what exactly they do and how they operate and work together is above what I know about.

But there has to be, I think when it has worked its best, when Shani was there, you have a president of hockey operations setting, in this case, the Shana plan.

And then executing down, getting the right GM to execute on that and be in sync together on what that looks like, the types of players you like, the type of team, the style.

And then you've got to get a coach.

You know, if it's not Craig Berube, then you've got to get a coach that matches the players that you're going to put into place.

Because a lot of times...

We see them hire a coach and then the players you have don't fit the style that that coach likes to play.

So it has to be from the top down.

It's got to be a good fit.

And they need to be in sync.

well only he would know what he's being told by Keith Pelley but he's got another year in his deal you're not going to walk around feeling sorry for yourself and acting like you're gone you still have to finish the season and coach he's looking to get another job somewhere if he does get fired at some point
