Pretty excited to dive in and try and figure out more because got 25 games deep on the trade targets board already.

And I feel like we're kind of just getting started.

Well, in terms of opportunity lost, I mean, it's almost surely going to be the Colorado Avalanche, right?

Sure, yeah, okay.

And I thought the press conference, in fact, from Julian Brisebois in Tampa was really interesting over the weekend where he talked about his team's championship window relative to some others, and he was pointing out very specifically, like, Colorado is way older than us.

And so maybe just some...

a little sense of mortality to consider for the Colorado Avalanche that, hey, look, as strong a job as this team has done at putting themselves in a position and being as deep as possible at almost every position, that doesn't always mean you win.

And it's kind of crazy that this team with...

Nathan McKinnon and Cal McCarr might only end up winning one.

Who knows when it's all said and done.

This is their first time to the conference final since 2022.

And that sounds unbelievable enough.

I still think the lightning are facing a pretty harsh reality because he can say what he wants about some other teams averaging out, including ice time relative to age being older.

I just,

I can't help but get past the feeling that the Tampa Bay Lightning window is closed.

And part of me just thinks maybe the quickest thing to do is to get to the bottom as fast as you can, hold some of these players up for auction.

Hagel, Kucherov, Point, go down the list and totally rebuild it and hope that you can do it with all the assets that you collect by the time the Montreal Canadiens, for instance, are...

turning in a downward direction.

I don't know.

I just think there's some crazy things to reckon with, and I'd include Tampa on that list.
