And that's not casting shade or dispersion on any one person individual.

But I look at how this has played out from Nashville to Toronto to New Jersey to

I mean, you see why New Jersey wanted to act so quickly.

They felt like they found a true difference maker in Sonny Mehta, and we're like, hey, we're jumping on it.

We're not lingering into a four- to six-week process to do this.

This is our guy, and we're giving him the contract, and we're moving forward.

I feel like part of the reason why this has gone on so long in Vancouver, the more I think about it, the more I'm just going –

why not Brian Johnson?

Like he he's, he's there.

His, his, uh, chance of success is, is probably indistinguishable from anyone else outside the organization.

He's got some familiarity with it, but has been at enough of an arm's length of making the actual decisions that he can chart his own course and go his own direction.

And more than anything, understand the political climate and dynamic that comes with working for the Vancouver Canucks.

So sign them up.

Let's go.

What more do you need to hear or see?

Maybe.

I mean, not outside of the realm of possibility.

I'll say the one thing that I think Pierre Dorian is really good at is being a scout and evaluating talent.

I think his decision-making processes and also to be totally fair and balanced,

I think part of that process is clouded also by working for a number of years for a very mercurial owner in Eugene Melnick and how that impacted maybe some of his plans and processes.
