It is a very nice city to live in.

There is a ton of scrutiny.

But I can guarantee you if you're winning here, there's no better place to be.

I would assume so.

It was no different than when we were good here.

You were able to attract players as well.

Yeah, it was their sweetest connections in terms of Samuelsson coming here from Detroit on a nice deal, so to speak.

Getting Manny to come here as well.

We were on the cusp and you were able to get these players.

Now has Vancouver, outside of maybe Madsen Dean, landed the biggest fish?

I can't recall, but that's because...

The talent has been homegrown, so to speak.

It's come through draft, and then we build, and then we build around those players.

And that's still the way it has to be.

Yeah, Florida have brought in all of these players, but still the core of that team, that came from players they drafted, whether it's a Barkov, an Ekblad,

The assets they gave up in order to get Matthew Kachuk with drafted players as well.

So there is that to it as well that you have to build from the draft and then you have to surround these players with enough talent and enough abilities to kind of push them over the hump.

Yeah, you can hope down the line.

There's a couple of local kids that are obviously just coming off their entry-level deals now.

And we don't have to be worried about tampering and stuff like that.
