So we've had two now fairly broad, far-reaching regime changes.

It hasn't made the team any better.

So, again, I'm kind of open-minded to the idea that if you have really good people, you don't need to throw them out as well just because it's regime change and you want to appear to be changing everything.

Sometimes the best change is from within.

Vic, I hope you're lying down.

I know you usually are.

on your couch, but I completely agree with you.

And I think that's part of this as well.

If it turns out that Daniel and Henrik are in those senior positions, I think building the culture and having an understanding of what that culture is, is a paramount part of it because the Canucks haven't had the culture really since they retired.

And it's been kind of lurching from one crisis to another in terms of the team's identity, in terms of chemistry and culture.

And they understand that as much as anybody.

I think they and a lot of people who have spent time in hockey were fairly appalled at some of the things that happened with this team in terms of its chemistry, in terms of the relationships,

between players.

And so I think that would be a huge part of it.

I was actually concerned that maybe they wouldn't have anything to do with the new organization because, you know, they had a stint where they were sort of advisors to the general manager and they've had a stint in player development.

And I think they were extremely successful at that.

And, you know, what's next then?

These are people, obviously, if you're going to keep them, you have to have meaningful work for them to do.

They're not interested in just being, I think I said this when I was on a couple of weeks ago, they're not interested in just being these ceremonial parts of the Canucks organization, a legacy segment from the greatest era in franchise history.

I really hope they are part of it, and it wouldn't surprise me if they do have very senior positions, because I think they're suited for it.
