Their Ds, we just talked about Edmonton's D, but like a Brock Faber, like their Spurgeon, like you can go through them and it's quality players throughout.

So it's like...

They're just a little more, the team isn't, they have their superstars, but they're not set up around their superstars.

They have quality there, no different than when Minnesota played with Gavaric back in the day.

They were still a very good team, and yeah, they had one special player, but they were coached, they played the right way, but now they have the spices added in here to where they're becoming a very, very hard team to play against.

well i think like i said earlier like mcdavid and dry silent edmonton you're still looking to them next year vegas still looks like the team and those that's been the team um what do you say for the last many years now as well colorado's not going anywhere dallas doesn't seem like they're going anywhere so but lag there is some up and coming teams no question about that and then these are teams that have been that have been in the basement for a long time

Anaheim, Phoenix, Utah, whatever it is that have accumulated draft picks that have skill and they're starting to sniff.

But we also have to be worried about is it a one-and-done or is it more?

Anaheim don't seem like it because their players are legitimate in terms of where they're coming from, credentials, where they're surrounded with.

I'd say Utah is a little bit more of an unknown, over-performed team

easier conference, so to speak.

But again, there's no question that there are some young players coming that's going to make a statement this year, the next.

You have a Celebrini and the Sharks that were up sniffing with the playoff spots that are

turning the corner as well.

And you can say that if there's any falter in Edmonton or something like that where the older players are either leaving or are not performing anymore, they'll drop real fast because there are so much talent and skill being infused into these teams that have been sitting at the bottom of the standings for three, four, five years that eventually they'll accumulate enough players to where they can make a push.

Again, I don't know him just from playing against him.

Again, he was a hard-work, hard-nosed, straight-up, no BS kind of player to play against.

In terms of how he would do in an effective role, I have no idea.

That's where you leave that one up to somebody else who knows what they're doing in terms of interviewing and what they want, and then you find out if you get the right answers immediately.

that there are so many people to pick from here, that every day it seems like another name gets thrown in the mix of who this next guy is going to be.
