Don't you think one of the questions that should be posed to him on Thursday is, do you believe that your body will be 100% next season?
Well, I mean... Can you imagine if he said no?
That's the crazy... What I'm getting at... Mom, my back's a little rickety.
What I'm saying is that if you believe...
It's clear he hasn't been 100%.
There's obviously been stuff nagging, obviously the knee injury, all of that type of stuff.
The challenge for me looking at him, all of us looking at him as a player, is I believe he can get back to whatever I was talking about, whatever we believe, the standard.
But that's if he's 100%.
Johnny, you talked about NHL edge, the drop in his velocity, the drop in speed, all of that type of stuff.
Those are real numbers.
That's real.
We watched it with our eyes.
I just think, guys, he's 28 years old.
He's not 34.
Yeah, maybe 29 in September.
A lot of miles.
A lot of years.
Like, my point being is, if he can be 100% from a body standpoint, I believe in the player.
I just don't, like, that's... And I know he's not going to answer that question on Thursday, but I just... That's the one thing I think about, is if Austin Matthews has the ability to get back to 100% physically...
Now you've got something.
