So when we come in in the morning and we set the table with that type of a question, really what you're really outlining is a strategy because now you're coming up with comparative strategies, not only in the dove, but in the O and then even in Europe.

Very, very important to get as much information as you possibly can in relation to the peer group competition level at the time of the draft cycle.

There's no doubt about that.

Where it becomes exponentially more difficult for me is when we start trying to ingest the Stenberg and the Bjork.

in relation to the SHL and their cohort group in the SHL when we date that back several years, because it's different even in the SHL year over year.

So I guess I would offer up this as an extra

kind of point of discussion, if you will.

And that would be let's break down their individual games against what we would classify as the highest leverage competition in their league.

OK, let's just do that.

So but with the caveat being this,

that anybody in college hockey on any given weekend and this is a fact anybody could beat denver on any given weekend they could that's a fact they could because college hockey is more like that pro game where you got older stronger like there's a bunch of variables there that you have to factor in right so that one there kind of stands on its own but when i'm talking about the major junior guys let's take a look at these types of things okay caleb

What was your defensive zone winning percentage in the face-off dot forehand, backhand against the top six teams in the league?

What was your power play production against the top six teams in the league?

What was your 5-on-5, yada, yada?

You go break that sound layer over layer over layer.

And then you come up with sort of a number scheme, if you will, that presents to you results against the best of the best at that level.

And I think that's that's really wise to do that, because if you find an athlete who's got 40 percent of his points, 50 percent of his points against the top six compared to another guy, he's got 30 percent.

Now you're asking yourself some other questions, right?

Why?

So let me go back and break down some tape and maybe just put it on him to give me the answer.
