And of course the big story, other than the Stanley cup this week in the NHL was the Mike Babcock story or whatever you want to call it debacle.

I don't know if the Edmonton Oilers potentially trying to hire Mike Babcock.

Of course, the NHL PA wants an investigation into whatever happened in Columbus when he didn't even make it to training camp with the team.

Frank Cervelli has reported there's,

Significant details that or complaints levied against Mike Babcock from his time in Columbus that were never made public.

And those could be much more relevant than the stuff about going through the phone.

I mean, it's kind of wild coming off the heels of trying to talk to Bruce Cassidy, not being given permission, firing their coach.

And now they're even in an even more bizarre situation with a potential head coaching candidate.

What do you make of Edmonton's decision to go down this road?

What's unfolded since then?

And and where do you think we're headed with this story?

It just seems like pouring gasoline on a fire in some ways, right?

Like you've already got the looming storyline of Connor McDavid and his potential free agency or, or choosing to leave Edmonton.

And if there's one thing with Mike Babcock and again, leaving aside any of the sort of like ethical considerations, um,

He's hard on his players and it just feels like you are adding a very combustible element and it's at least as likely to blow up spectacularly in your face as it is to actually work out in any real way on the ice.

And last one for you, Wish, you know, it's the Dylan Larkin trade request has been out there for a little bit now.

Short list of teams we understand at the moment, although it sounds like it's maybe expanded a little bit from the original three.

But either way, a tough spot for Stevie Y in Detroit, considering the playoff drought there and now his number one center asking out.

If you were in Steve Iserman's shoes, how would you navigate the Dylan Larkin trade request?

Wish really appreciate the time.
