Outside of the actual business, there's real money involved.

Knobloch could sit at home for the next three days.

Seven plus million bucks.

So there you go.

Let's call it eight million bucks.

You got to answer for it.

You signed Trent Frederick for eight years, you're fired.

You got to answer for these things.

And that's from an actual business standpoint.

You've got to look at it and go, you know, we didn't get the Game 7 home gate where they were probably hoping for when you go into Anaheim and you lose that.

That's a gate that they probably worked for.

It's a lot of money.

It's a lot of money.

That's why there's so much pressure in today's world

when teams are like, make the playoffs, do this, because it's money in the door for these owners.

That's just the business side, not just the actual wins and losses.

Who's better for the Edmonton Oilers than Chris Knobloch?

The only two guys that I can think of personally is Lavi and it's Cassidy.

And not because of... Well, maybe throw Berube into the mix now.

But I'm just saying tactically.
