So again, you're going to be in this situation and there will be questions asked and there's nothing you can do about it now.

Like I said, outside of him blowing the socks off and he is who he is.

And yeah, we can't argue with the ice time, the deployments, because he is the best.

Yeah, I would assume that.

Most of this will probably happen early.

Most of the noise.

Because he's coming in on a team where there's a lot of guys fighting for position.

This lineup is not close to being penciled in.

So come training camp, there will be a lot of roster spots up for grabs.

Performance would dictate who goes where, who gets an opportunity.

And that's where...

Does he get an option or an opportunity over somebody else that's equally deserved?

That's where I'm saying if he's better, it'll quiet everything down.

But if it's a coin flip between two equal players that are performing at the same level, then it becomes a little bit harder now.

And now you're going to have to answer some questions.

Best player available.

Just look at the Kachuk trade.

You'll move it for a ton of pigs, young players, no different than Quinn, and then you see if you make the best of whatever you're getting from that.

You have to do that, and then you hold their rights.

And if they don't want to be here five, seven years from now, well, then you'll make a trade to recuperate some of the stuff.
