I think by and large.

There's the odd person who would disagree with me, but I don't think there's many of them.

A lot of people pine for, I hate to use this phrase because I'm an old guy, but the old days, and being so connected with the community.

That's important to the fan base.

And part of this is business too, guys.

You know, when people see, and it was sincere, what Daniel and Henrik did, and Ryan Johnson, they talked about it at their press conference, that connecting with the community is important.

And, you know, you wonder, what does that have to do with the on-ice product?

And I think it connects the organization and the players to the community, where they'll enjoy being here.

They'll get it.

And they want players who are like that, who get how lucky they are in life.

And that serving a community and reaching out to people is important.

The Canucks have always been like that, except for the last few years.

And Daniel and Henrik clearly realize that.

So does Ryan Johnson.

And I think that's really, really important.

Oh, gosh, guys.

You know, you hear all these scenarios.

It's funny.

I will say Ivor Stenberg, and I just, you know, the little I've seen him play, I just think he, and I don't care about NHL ready.

I care more about what he's going to be like three or four down the road.
