managers so to speak that they have to be teachers now they have to be communicators as well because there's more than just the x and o's now they're like you gotta yeah teach players how to play something that they would have been taught by somebody else before they kind of land in your lap

Yeah, that's where the bad habits and the proper playing the right way comes in now.

That's something that gets learned in the NHL.

The skill and the physical part, it's there for these players when they step in.

The part they don't have is like the bad habits, the cheating, the shinny, the offense that they've been used to doing for so many years because they drafted early.

So they're obviously good.

So they put up hundreds of points the last couple of years, wherever they played the best players.

When you are there, you play a different game and take different chances.

And now you show up in an environment where everybody is playing

probably better than you they might not be better than you a couple years from now but like in terms of their awareness and stuff like that it's right there and they can check and then do all those things and expose these little mistakes that you do make um so so that's the teaching part that comes in well and the thing that's uh that is also interesting um is the fact that

Yeah, they knew him.

And it was Kes, Juice, Burr, Josh Green.

There was all these guys that were fringe.

Obviously, three of them turned into the mainstays.

But there was a bunch of players that played for AV.

And again, it also means that

the coach knows them.

So you're bringing guys in and putting them in a situation where you can kind of succeed, maybe, knowing the highs and lows of the players.

What do they look like on their best day?

What do they look like on the worst day?
