And I don't know how these guys are.

I have no idea.

But it wouldn't surprise me if they just weren't quite there just yet with all that they've gone through, especially the American guys.

And it's, you know, there are some players that have, you know, the opportunity to kind of wade in a little bit slower.

Dylan Larkin would be another one in Detroit.

Austin Matthews in Toronto.

Jake Enso's fortunate.
