Can't argue with what Kachuk did have done for Ottawa before he wanted out.

Can't argue with what Quinn did here in Vancouver before he wanted out.

There were years where the teams were close, where they were in the playoffs.

Can you keep a player for his entire career, 15 years, if they have that?

No, that's also unreasonable.

So you go back, you take the best player, and if they don't want to be here, well, then you move them for assets and stuff that will help you down the line.

I have no problem with players wanting to win, if that's the legitimate reason.

It should be why everybody plays.

It's because we want to win.

If we can see we can't win anymore, send me somewhere where I can win.

So no, I don't have an issue.

And again, these two players we're talking about...

they're coming up towards the end of their deals as well.

So it's not like they sign a six or seven year deal.

And in year two, there's like, Hey, let's get, get me out of here kind of thing.

Um, so it's like they've tried to make it work.

Um, yeah, I know you're, you're, you're restricted to your team for what is it seven years or whatever it might be.

Um, but, but they've, they've put in their dues.

Um, if they don't want to play there anymore for whatever reason, um,

find somebody else who wants to be here and then like let's make the best of the situation
