I had to chuckle a little bit right but he said you know look every team uses words like compete and accountable and guess what we're going to use those words too but we're going to be specific and we're going to have very very specific definitions tailored to us about what those actually mean and what those what that translates to for our players which I had to laugh like I enjoyed him saying like listen I get it they're buzzwords but we can translate them into things that actually apply and actually make sense for our players

What's your process?

Like, what does it actually mean in this environment, in this situation?

And beyond the –

the ability to communicate and the weight he carries and, you know, the consideration and the thoughtfulness.

There's a couple of specific topics.

Like I think it's worth touching on that he addressed.

And of course, one is the, the, the situation with the Canucks picking three and his son, Caleb being a very highly rated draft prospect.

And, you know, he, he acknowledged as Ryan Johnson did that, that was part of the conversation during the hiring process.

He,

He also said, look, it's a bit of a fool's errand to go down that road too much to start planning things that haven't even happened.

We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

You know, I liked his answer about we have a rule in my house, right?

When you're talking to me, yeah, I might be a professional hockey coach, but I'm also your dad, so you kind of get to choose.

Do you want to talk to dad or do you want to talk to coach when we're having those conversations?

And, you know, he certainly was open to it, but I also –

he didn't want to necessarily go into detail on his thoughts on exactly how it would work.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I agree.
