You want to do what you can to drive the fusion.

And that's also partly why like making a ton of draft picks, making 10 to 13 draft picks a year for the next three to four years could pay huge dividends for the Canucks because you might arrive at a place in three, four years where being in this madcap Canadian hockey market with

you know, a regional broadcast rights deal that's locked in forever and is significantly more lucrative than your competitors.

And, you know, having this local brand and the partnerships that flow from that and that sort of revenue, even in a revenue sharing environment, gives you a massive edge where teams like, you know, Columbus and Florida and Dallas that, you know, have to, even when they're good, paper the building or charge far less than you can for tickets, right?

right are staring at you know staring down the barrel of do we want to pay x guy we've drafted in a in the future 20 million on his second contract and they're sweating that and you have a really good cost controlled guy that you've drafted because you've drafted so frequently and that's like a trade you can do because they're avoiding the cost and right like that's what the canucks need to be

preparing for in my mind and also helping to drive like help you want to create an environment in my mind anyway as a higher revenue team where the cap keeps going up where non-traditional hockey markets struggle to keep up with your spending power

And where you can take advantage of those sorts of things, right?

That's basically like Montreal taking advantage of the flat cap during their rebuild.

Like Vancouver might be, if they're able to spend and if they're clever about the bets they place now, able to position themselves to be the team that was able to rebuild faster because the cap went up so quickly and they had buying power in a traditional Canadian market, right?

Like that...

that is sort of in my mind anyway, sort of what they should be focused on trying to create.

I have more than one World Championship Canucks team.

Shockingly good.

He's sick, man.

I'm holding stock on both these guys.

You know that I'm holding stock on both these guys, but especially Linus Carlson.

Man, the otter otter usage like I was looking at it.

the other day and I do rock to like the Canucks were really bad last year.

We all know this.

It's not like I'm breaking news here, but the extent to which almost every single Canucks player was outscored two to one, five on five in their minutes is like, cannot be understated.
