Sure.

And two, like I really have to squint, and it's hard for me to envision the Florida Panthers having the assets to make the Detroit Red Wings better right now.

Like as attractive as that number nine pick might be, Detroit's trying to end a playoff drought.

they can't wait another two to three years for that number nine pick to begin impacting their team.

So that can't be the centerpiece of the deal.

Minnesota, I see a much clearer path, but it's also going to involve some pretty difficult discussions because, man, Jesper Wahlstedt really seemed to be the guy.

Are you willing to give up on a 21-year-old franchise goalie to land the center that you've been craving for a while?

Maybe.

I mean, I don't know what the Wilds think of Cosa, but I can tell you this, that Sebastian Cosa is not going back to the Detroit Red Wings next year.

So wherever he lands, it's going to be somewhere else.

They've just this is a classic case of a team over seasoning a goalie.

Right.

Yeah, I mean, not shocking that that would be the case, but look, I view this as a really difficult situation on both ends.

I don't think anyone wants the specter of Dylan Larkin having to step on the ice again at Little Caesars Arena in September.

I don't think that's going to play out well.

The toothpaste is out.

You can't put it back in the tube.

So does...

If, if Iserman reaches, like, you know, he's going to get a good deal first off, because there's a really special player.

And with the, the lack of difference makers and the total thin center market, having someone that's basically a point per game player under team control for the next five years, under 9 million bucks is a massive deal.
