And guess what all the teams do?

They bring more than eight guys

Yeah, I started in Nashville.

I was there for five solid years, and then I moved over to the Florida Panthers in 2010, and I was there until 2020.

So we were fortunate to come through some really good draft classes there.

versus major junior because we are seeing a significant uptick in scoring in major junior across uh across the three leagues this uh the last couple years yeah no it's not easy i will say that especially if you look at my top five like you're pointing out uh iris denberg who's playing in the shl the top of pro league in sweden and then of course mckenna what he's done at penn state then we get into chase reed and bearhoff and mahultra so we have a mix of all three is what you're

you're talking about here, it's not easy.

The one thing I will say about Stenberg, and that's where I was splitting hairs.

I was really, truly splitting hairs for the first time in a long time because McKenna's game from, call it November, when you, and you guys, you and I have talked even off record, like just, you know, talking about hockey.

And my concern was that his off puck play and his willingness to do the other things when he's not scoring, it just wasn't good enough.

Now that's improved exponentially.

I'd say at least 35% from where it was.

But it's still not quite at Stenberg's level.

But the offense is so dynamic that I was very, very close at this time to putting McKenna back at one.

But Stenberg wins out with the SHL.

As everybody knows, your listeners can certainly appreciate this, pro hockey in any league gets very, very hard after Christmas.

When you're tracking towards playoff position or in Europe, like relegation to the Alspenskin, for example,

Those games are really, really hard.

And Stenberg, when he hasn't been scoring, Bob, he's still a plus player.

He does all the other things very, very well.
