I think you just saw that with with Carolina and I think you've seen it the year before with Florida.

Their depth players become really important down the stretch.

I think it's gonna be a cross between both.

I mean we're uh we're we're working on it throughout the summer to have this down to a science, but I think the one message and the one thing that you that you can guarantee with Mike's teams is we're gonna really be a lot more competitive.

We're gonna push competitiveness, take away time and space and I think when you play in a zone a lot of times you're giving the other team time and you end up standing there.

I think you're gonna see us put a lot of pressure on people.

We're gonna put pressure on people

the neutral zone, we're gonna put pressure on people in the D zone and you know ultimately try and eliminate time and space.

I think if you look at Florida and Carolina both, what do those teams do?

They just come at you and come at you and come at you and they work and they don't get outworked.

And I think that's the number one thing is no matter what you know Mike decides and and and and as a uh coaching staff, you know, we decide to to come at systems, you're gonna see a a constant theme is we're gonna

put pressure and we're gonna work.

And you know, I I think it's pretty clear with Mike, if you don't work, you don't pull.

Well I think and obviously my Michael make that final call.

I think just ultimately how do we make the team the best?

And it and it can't you know, and I think that's been maybe uh you know, some of the complaints maybe is that it's top heavy, um and and not to say that those two won't play together, um, 'cause they very e easily could.

But how do we make all the pairings better?

How do we make the team better?

To spread it around a little bit more.
