They're going to have to make a decision because three require waivers next year.

Those three guys, not all of them are coming back.

One of them is going next year by the time home opener next year.

I don't know who it is.

That's the thing, exactly.

These GMs, this is what bothers me.

I talked to an agent yesterday.

All the AGMs that put work in, they're in the rinks every night.

To your point, Brian, they'll know who Hildeby is because I guarantee you they scouted him at the AHL level.

They should put their work in.

They can't just be a figurehead or just look them up on a computer.

You better darn well know who you can trust and who you like, who you don't like.

I know lots of those AGMs, and they work.

They're tireless.

They run their AHL team.

They're in the rinks.

When I'm in the rink, name a rink.

I was in Detroit a couple weeks ago.

Ran into a few AGMs that are just out scouting, out knowing the league, because they're looking for their own team, but they're also helping out the big team on guys that maybe have expiring contracts.

You've got to know the league and the minor league and the East Coast League and who's coming and who's not.
