I want to hear the Canucks are leading the league again, not, quote, one of the only teams that doesn't have X. And I think that question about resources...
is a very good one because the practice facility kind of sums it up.
And, I mean, you know, Jim Rutherford had to answer how many questions about the practice facility in his tenure as president of hockey operations, right?
Right up until the last press conference he gave at the end of this season he was talking about it.
Is that going to be โ like, are the Sedins on the practice facility portfolio now?
Is that shifting more to the business side?
I think that's an interesting question.
But that general question about โ
the resources and the commitment to not just, hey, we're going to ice this team and we'll pay to buy out a player.
Is the money going to be there for all of the off-ice stuff that goes into making a team great?
Especially is it going to be there in a rebuild where you might be having a tougher time selling tickets and selling season tickets and doing those things?
Are you committed to that investment even in the down times?
I think is a very fair question from Tim.
Look, there's a lot that this organization has on the go, and it's all extremely high stakes.
I mean, how... You know, I still think your...
I still think the practice facility is a critical part of this rebuild, in part because, you know, I've been saying it a lot recently, but you don't draft a great team.
You draft the wealth required to build a great team on the trade market or through free agency or by a variety of other means.
Well, and sometimes, and I think about this as we talk about, you know, you and I have talked a lot about, like, the convergence of the NHL and the NBA.
