some of these candidates, how long they feel their rebuild would need to be.

That's definitely been one of the questions and other questions about rebuild as a subset to that, including what were some of the most important lessons you learned, but they've definitely been asked about how long realistically they feel a rebuild there could be.

I think they've asked them to rank their top three picks, um,

Because that's where Vancouver could pick from one to three.

So they want to have an idea of what everybody thinks.

And I think also they've been asked about coach.

from what they've seen, would they want to keep Adam Foote or would they want to make a change?

So I believe all of these things have come up in conversation as part of the interview topics.

And I heard there's been five people on most of these Zooms with the candidate.

So that's some of the stuff that I know so far.

I don't think the draft lottery matters because they know where they're going to be picking, one, two, or three, and they're asking these candidates who they would take in those spots.

They have an idea of how their candidates feel.

I think they want to do in-person visits before they hire someone, and that's obviously a smart move.

OK, what about Toronto?

So Toronto.

So James Myrtle in The Athletic had a line about.

Toronto being turned down, asking to speak to a current general manager.

I believe that was Julian Breezeball of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

That's who I think they asked permission to speak to.

And I don't think anyone is shocked to hear that the Lightning would say no.
