I mean, the Hurricanes were like, if we're doing this deal, it's for Logan Stankoven.

And I think about the move to center.

And I remember when Rod took over, he was skeptical about moving Ajo to center because of his size.

And Ajo's, I think he's listed at six feet.

I think that might be a little generous.

Yeah.

But, you know, Ajo's not the biggest guy, but Ajo, you know, his two-way play convinced Rod.

And I think, you know, they had a decision to make this summer.

The Kokuniemi thing just, you know, hasn't worked out, obviously.

And they gave the kid a shot.

And I'm telling you, he is – he's a pit bull.

And he scores from the – you know, between the circles endlessly.

I mean, he is – it's not like he's –

taking shots from the outsides of the circles and picking corners.

He is in the middle of it at all times.

And he's relentless, and Blake's the same way.

Those guys, I mean, they terrorize the other team.

You know, I talked to Jordan Martinuk the other day after Rod made the quick little switch and switched Martinuk and Jarvis, and it leads to the Jarvis goal that ties the game.

I said, I was just talking to him about, you know, when Rod does those things, what's it like, et cetera.

And he's like, we have one line that you can't touch right now.
