Oh, 100%.

Look, I'm not convinced that they're ever going to relent here, even if they win the Stanley Cup.

Part of that is because it's not really just about being in your division.

It's

It's the long game or longer game, which is, yes, Bruce Cassidy might make the Edmonton Oilers better.

But more than that, if the Oilers crumble, part of their thought process in the back of their mind has to be, we know how good of a coach Bruce Cassidy is.

He led us to a Stanley Cup.

He could have similar type success.

But if it's someone less than Bruce Cassidy and if things blow up, what if there's a John Tortorella in Vancouver type experience?

well then, hey, maybe we might be able to get McDavid out of our division for once and for all.

Well, it's multifaceted, right?

Because then Nico Hesher...

even though he's one of the leaders on that team and has been there from the start, the question he probably has to ask himself is, can I win here?

It's a fair question to ask when you get to these stages of your contract.

And so I think it's a mutual examination period.

I think the true answer is that we don't really have a read on it just yet.

He's a name that

teams have been percolating about, teams have asked about, that they're curious to see where this goes, in part because it's so incredibly difficult to find centers who can make a difference, and they look at the complete nature of his game and see what a great fit he'd be.

But then that same side of it exists for the Devils, which is, let's say we trade Nico Heischer, we now need to go fill that void in our lineup in order to become

a contending team.
