Frank Cervalli

And I would say one other thing that stands out is like courage and conviction about what I just talked about, your beliefs and how you want to build it.

Very clear sighted vision, willing to take chances and also just authentically himself.

He hasn't tried to change and be anyone that he isn't.

Well, didn't we put this debate to bed when he won the Hart Trophy?

Like, are we really having this again?

He's reinvented himself multiple times.

I remember talking to him in Chicago a couple years ago.

Kind of looked like his career might be on the ropes again.

Not that much interest in trading for him.

How's this all going to work?

Obviously had a big believer in Tyler Dello from their time in New Jersey together.

And Edmonton.

Yeah, and advocated for Taylor Hall in Carolina once he got there.

And I talked to him.

He spent four months living in the Philadelphia area, unbeknownst to everyone, rehabbing his knee.

And when you are going to the gym every day, far away from home, far away from your family, where I think he had a young kid at the time, if I'm not mistaken, and everything in your life gets put into some perspective.

One thing that stood out in my conversation with Taylor Hall was how much he loves the game.

There's a lot of people that play because they can get wealthy.

There's a lot of people that play because they're really good at it.

Some people like the perks that come with it.
