Yeah, the toothpaste is out of the tube.

I mean, I think they needed a change anyway.

And I think the most simple way to say it is this.

This is the last, or potentially the last year of the Connor McDavid experience at Edmonton.

Are you willing to bet...

the best player in the world potentially walking out the door based on his and Leon's, I settled public criticism of the coach over the course of the season.

Are you willing to bet this all important last year to try and get things right on a guy that they've already been critical of?

I don't know about you, but I don't care if he has a three million, three year contract remaining and whatever's left on it.

I'm not wagering that on, uh,

keeping Connor McDavid for the long haul.

And by the way, I would bet that it's the entirety of the coaching staff and not just one person in Chris Knobloch.

I think they need a complete fresh start.

I think the first and most important question is goaltending.

They haven't been able to get it right.

And I did a real deep dive on my show yesterday with Kevin Woodley, the, the absolute man, myth and legend, um, from in goal magazine.

And he was so good just working through not just which teams are in the market, but the free agents, the trade targets, all the possibilities.

And the guy that we landed on for Edmonton was Jordan Bennington.

Um, but no matter what, the most important thing is Edmonton's defensive zone and environment needs to change.

So that will start with the coach.

And then after getting the goalie, the next thing will be personnel.
