That's how much he has improved and risen in stock over the last 12 months.

So it's not out of the question that they draft Caleb, and he ends up, you know, doing what Braden Coutts did.

He gets a handful of games and then goes back.

And right now I can't remember whether he's committed to university yet.

It's a BU, yeah.

BU.

And so, you know, whether he goes back to school next year after five games or three games or nine games, it's hard to know.

But it's also I think people just need to remain open to the possibility that even if they draft Caleb Malhotra,

he's not going to be an everyday player in the NHL for them next season.

So, and again, that means there's going to be less overlap between his career and Manny's career.

But I think the bottom line is Ryan Johnson just feels that the Malhotras are of high enough character and conscientious and professional enough that they're not worried about that becoming a conflict that one's,

You know, the father and one's the son.

If you have good enough people that it's not going to matter.

They're just going to do their things and be good Canucks.

Yeah, I definitely think there's that possibility.

I think the fact that Ryan was so clear when he was first hired in his first press conference that

that he talked about, you know, basically said how much he valued Cami Granato and Emily Castonguay, that they weren't going anywhere.

And I thought that was great to make that clear as well, because there was a lot of conjecture about that.

Like, is the management staff going to be like the coaching staff?

Is this going to be an entirely new group?
