Like you still need to have pieces to play and you need, like you talk about culture.

These are really, really well-liked individual players.

and someone that I believe has properly set the tone for exactly what they seem to be talking about at their introductory press conference.

So I think you're going to need him as one of your leaders moving forward if you're trying to reestablish that culture.

Yeah, I think the machinations are going to be interesting to see title and all those things, how exactly it's going to work.

Um, not entirely surprised.

Um, I mentioned on my, in my conversation with sat and Beck earlier this week that the Sedins were pretty big proponents of Ryan Johnson.

Um, and that if they were going to have a larger say that he was their guy, that was their choice.

Um, with that.

I think there's so many interesting things to look at here.

Um, because Ryan Johnson has paid his dues.

He's worked his way through the organization.

Um, he's been at this for 14 years now, but he he's never run a team.

He's seen how a team is run, but he's only ever seen it from one perspective, really.

I mean, there have been regime changes and everyone has a little bit of a different style, but.

He hasn't sat in the chair before, and that can be a positive and a negative.

I just wonder, in the end, for the Sedins having increased say, who don't have any front office experience really themselves, outside of jumping on the ice and working with players in a development role, there's a lot to learn here, and there's a lot of things to nail.

And that starts with the drafting.

So they've got some, I think, probably a head start on...

that spot with how they want to see things come together and obviously have a really good draft pick to begin the process.
