Jannik Hansen

But is he good enough to push the team out of the bottom standings and into that bottom

uh 10th overall draft pick instead maybe if if the player is good enough so that that's where it's like maybe you you bite the bullet here and again you the player got to be on board because this player is dead set on going to the to the nhl he has the skills has the abilities um but long term it might be better for the franchise not to you got to have some conversation with again families and an agent around this player to see what's better for for the long-term future for for the for the organization here

Yeah, it's a confident boost.

There's no question about that.

And I'd say, again, Buffalo obviously finished higher, but like in terms of playoff experience and acumen, like Montreal is probably looking at Buffalo and said that this team might be

a little bit better suited to us in terms of their experience this we're on an even footing that there's no I shouldn't say no I don't know but there might not be a whole lot of Stanley Cup winners on on Buffalo I might miss a couple players here and there but

Tampa, they're loaded with winners.

They've been through it.

They've done it.

They've been in these situations where Buffalo, let's see when they run into a little bit of headwind here.

They did not have a lot of that in the first one.

How will they respond to adversity where you know if you get Tampa on a little bit of their heels, they've been through this before.

So it's not like it's going to get them thrown off curve.

Yeah, it's like you look at the East and it looked a lot easier to get through.

There's no question about that.

Carolina was at the top of the standing and they lived up to those expectations through the first games here.

They still got to do it, but there is something a little bit different about this team.

I know Stan Colvin is not...

uh the the star of the league in the sense that a lot of other teams have um but i'll say that they they look like they have a couple more game breakers than they've had in the past where they relied on a four-line team just uh what do you say quantity over quality sometimes and it works out in the regular season but when push comes to shop they've been kind of uh

short sticked a little bit and lost out to teams that had players that were just a little bit better.
