Like, if...

Tristan Jari plays well, we should have a better goalie here.

Why wait that long to make a trade for an if?

Why not eventually do it for a sure thing or as close to a sure thing as you could possibly find?

And so you were patient, patient until you weren't, and now you're dealing with a goalie that makes too much money for what he is and is not going to be part of your solution.

It doesn't seem like anyways, unless things really turn around, but it has not gone well for him there.

Man, like, imagine, like, just imagine this for a second, though, Dave.

Like, you try your best to build a team that you think can win and compete.

And, you know, the season starts, and now, what are we, six months later?

You have to try and convince yourself that you have to reverse engineer it and go the other way.

Like, that is, that's a tough, it's a tough line of thinking.

I don't care who you are or how bad your season has gone.

It's tough to pivot to that.

You know, my experience having been on a team that finished in last place and eventually got the first overall pick is it kind of just happened organically to a certain degree, right?

Like we had...

We had a bunch of players that got traded at the deadline.

And then we had guys that had nicks and bruises and aches and pains, and they all got shut down.

Hey, you have a little bit of a strain?

Gone.

You took a puck off the foot?
