James Mirtle

And their next contracts don't kick in until next year.

So, yeah.

And in that Eastern Conference final, that line was basically their first line in terms of the number of minutes that they were getting from Rod Brindamore.

Yeah.

But you look out throughout their lineup.

I mean, they do a great job of finding players that are undervalued in other organizations and acquiring them.

And I think Keandre Miller is a great example.

You know, they trade a first and a second round pick to the Rangers, but they're using Miller, 26 years old, great skater size.

They're using him as their number one defenseman.

He's playing huge minutes for them and he's been excellent.

I think he's been a, you know, he's on the list of cons life candidates with how he's played.

So,

How does an organization like the Rangers not value a defenseman like that properly and basically give them away?

I mean, I had, they got like a late first round pick, but, but so what?

I mean, it looks like he's a real difference maker for a team that might win the Stanley cup.

So, you know, and I think Vegas is good at that too.

I mean, if you look at the way both of those teams are built, it's not really through the draft, but there's not a lot of Vegas doesn't have any first round picks on their roster that they made.

They they've gone around the league and poached other players or, or signed them in free agency.

And Carolina is a bit of the same thing.

I mean, the only first-round picks that Carolina has in their lineup are Svechnikov and Jarvis.
