I did not. voice-verified

And I had spent way too much time thinking about designing, cooking up offer sheets. voice-verified

And really got to a place where I found it to be so difficult to disincentivize the Anaheim Ducks from matching. voice-verified

And frankly, that still may be the case. voice-verified

But I think what is really clear that no matter which direction the Ducks go here, they're losing either way. voice-verified

You're either jamming up your cap for their foreseeable future, eroding your team's depth and making other players voice-verified

like a Cutter Gauthier about to embark on negotiations really unhappy, or you're watching your 21-year-old franchise center walk out the door. voice-verified

And how do you replace that guy? voice-verified

So the Ducks are unquestionably between a rock and a hard place, and it's provided great theater and drama, and probably even more so for agents around the league who have dealt with the Ducks over the last handful of years. voice-verified

What your question was, what do I think we've learned? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Like what, what could they have done differently? voice-verified

Oh, well, never let it get to this point. voice-verified

The only way you can be subject to offer sheets that can rip your team apart are by allowing players to become restricted free agents anyway on July 1. voice-verified

And I would have thought that the Oilers and the way they did business a couple years ago in 2024 would have scared enough teams off. voice-verified

But I think the Ducks were thinking, because we have $30-some million in cap space, yeah, go ahead, come at us. voice-verified

We've kept our powder dry. voice-verified

We're going to try and do things the way that we've always done it. voice-verified

I mean, look at the place that the Flyers arrived to here. voice-verified

Their team made an unexpected run to the playoffs. voice-verified
