And even like the follow-up interview with Patrick Waugh,

With respect to everything that has gone on in the hockey world, I think Patrick Watt told him, look, of course I'm interested in a second interview here, and that's likely going to be face-to-face.

But he wants to get through all the Claude Lemieux funeral arrangements and everything that's gone on to saying goodbye to a good friend.

So there are lots of things that are factoring into this.

Yeah, I think O to the NHL altogether, to be fair.

And I don't know that it's a hard no.

You know, David is, he's a bit elusive.

You know, he's not campaigning.

He is listening.

He is evaluating.

But he doesn't have an agent.

He's not campaigning to jump into the National Hockey League, what we know he's doing.

is what has been announced and reported on the last couple of days, and that's looking after player personnel with the Denver Pioneers.

That's where his focus is, right?

it sure doesn't seem like it's likely that he's going to make that NHL move this year.

But based on last couple of years, not just this year, the interest around David Carl, I think he's confident in his own coaching ability and future that he believes that the opportunity is going to be there when he and his family are ready.

And the opportunity, whether it's in a market that he approves of,

closer to wherever he wants to call home financially, all of that, it's going to be there.

It just doesn't seem like it's going to be this year.

Well, both.
