And then all of a sudden you're just trying to survive.

And I think that's when the process you're talking about kicks in where it's like you're just in survival mode and the skills start to atrophy and you actually start, you can start to regress a little bit rather than developing.

And I think if Manny Malhotra can just come in and make sure everyone understands what's going on, we're bought in, maybe it's simple and maybe sometimes it is just off the glass and out because that's what we're going to do.

But we all know that's what we're going to do and reduce just some of that mental stress.

burden that clearly the players were under you got to think it gives them a much better chance to actually develop and take those steps forward than whatever that was happening on the ice under Adam foot last year for sure and again like just my experience of it it's

There's a baseline.

Everyone needs to hit your bottom.

So this guy doesn't matter.

It's like, no, you can contribute.

One of the things I find most interesting about how... Jordan Stahl's a monster.

One of the things I find really interesting about how Carolina's built their team this year, but also it's been a trend for them, is they do not spend at all on their power play quarterback.

Their resources on defense go to the big minutes eating, you know, mobile, athletic, the Slavins, the Keandre Miller, right?

You know, Jalen Chatfield, they're not spending big money, but like he plays big minutes for them.

And then you go find Shane Goss to spare to be your power play quarterback.

Tony D'Angelo before that, right?

I also don't look at...

To me, it's similar to the pod calls and thing where it's I don't know, but it's like an evaluation problem, right?

Where you're like, oh, you missed what you had with Jalen Chatfield.

I think it's the case that he landed in the perfect spot for his skill set, like the absolute perfect spot.

And I think more of it.
