He's, he's.

Training with the Ontario Hockey League's Ottawa 67s right now.

I mean, Evangelista, I think, is still in Nashville for the time being.

But depending how long that goes, we'll see where that ends up.

But I think right now the trickiest one seems to be McTavish.

Because it's a combo.

It's not just a contract and money.

And they're far apart on both term and dollars.

But it's also just usage.

He wants to know...

Is he going to take his game to the next level or be given that opportunity to claim a second-line role on that club as a 2C and cement himself in that position?

Is he going to get more power play time?

What's it look in five-on-five?

What's his usage?

He wants to develop and take the next steps in his career, whereas with some of the additions the Ducks made, there may be some barriers, at least optically, for him to do that in the next season or two.

And that's part of the concern as well from his camp.

Yeah, I mean, you can't replace a 102-point player.

That's for sure.

And I'm just outside their practice, Frank, right now.

And the last couple of days have been a combo of, look, he's gone.
