So all of a sudden now, a four-game suspension is really a six or a seven, and I'm out $100,000 more on my salary.

And everyone has to be okay with that.

And if they are...

If the PA is okay with that, they can go to the NHL and say, we are lobbying for tougher suspensions.

But then the other side of it,

is the NHL and the GMs, they're going to have to sit there and say, okay, well, now we have to be okay with our star, well, maybe not star players, but our players being suspended longer and being out of the lineup longer.

And so both those sides need to kind of come together and say, we want to change the standard, and here's what we're willing to do.

I guess until you have that kind of initiative, we are where we are, where GMs don't necessarily want their regular players out of the lineup when they commit infractions.

And if push came to shove and you asked me, like, you know, do I want more of a financial penalty because I'm going to be suspended longer?

Because you're on both sides of it.

The PA is on both sides of it.

The players who get suspended and the players who get hurt.

So what's the priority as a group?

And

Like that feels like a complex situation for all those parties to agree and say, okay, here's where we're moving.

That's a big deal, AK.

Like, I remember playing in the league and being a guy who was not known.

Like, you know, you're just a guy, right?

And within our...

you know, our conversations, we would always say, like, if Jonathan Tabes or Sidney Crosby or Patrick Kane, if those guys speak up, then it means something and then you can get stuff done.
