You got all your money, but then you had to deliver, and you had to win, and then year after year,

Marner, Matthews, Nylander, Tavares, the guys who were making all the money, they didn't win.

Flat cap world, I get it.

But you can't really lean on that as an excuse.

So all the optimism, all the hope, that went down the drain.

And then we got to the point where it was like something had to change.

Someone had to go.

Okay, he's gone right now.

So boo him because you're pissed about the way they performed in the playoffs.

Boo him because he's gone.

Someone had to leave.

And it turns out it was his time to go.

Pierre, in some of your talkings with GMs and executives around the league, do you get the sense that there's any team sort of operating with a soft deadline with the Olympic break, just wanting to get some business done before everyone takes off?

Or is everyone okay with the trade deadline really being that hard deadline this year?

Unfortunately, Pierre, you saying that it wasn't that long, that was my longest tenure with any team in the league.

It was a good run for you.

Well, the one that I think might deserve a little attention, and it got the attention earlier this week, was Cole Caulfield scoring the goal with 15 seconds left in the game.

And it's kind of crazy that it's against Billy Guerin's team, Minnesota, and Brock Faber was the guy who didn't, like, flex out to him in the zone to cover him.

And that's, you know, he's going to be part of Team USA.

But we always talk about these games, you know, no space, but we also talk about the clutch factor and can you score a big one at the right time.
