Yeah, and look, I think all that is fair, but you also have to really analyze the next five games, right?

Starting tonight against the Buffalo Sabres and where you're at.

Because as we've talked about, and you guys shared yesterday on the show, I mean, if this trip doesn't go well...

The answer might be right there that Brad Terleving can't turn away from, right?

I mean, if it doesn't go well, you know, what do you do directionally?

And where is that pressure coming from?

Is it coming from above the general manager's office?

It feels to me like, and you guys weigh in on this, it feels to me like this team needs a spark.

But as players...

Does it have to be a meaningful piece?

Or can you just make a trade where you get a depth defenseman to bolster what you've got?

And that's a shot in the arm.

Does that count?

And you don't have the assets to do anything bigger than that, potentially.

If you did, and there was that player available, and we know that Trilliving is still eyeing the defensemen

Well, if there was a piece that he could bring in, he would have done that by now.

There's nobody available that moves the needle.

That's why I say from a player perspective, sometimes it's just a little injection, just a little bit of a difference maker.

Because, look, the coach has done everything, right?

He's had blow-ups on the bench in the first half.
