And that's the beauty of the process.

I totally agree.

And I got to tell you, some of the clips that I broke down as well include defensive zone process.

So I'm talking about off a loss block where there's a switch in the defensive zone.

And if they're man on man, you know, when a teamwork is a subtle pick or a switch down low, I'm just looking at him, protect the house, identify who his guy's got to be, spill out and pick up the right check.

Like,

his hockey sense and his awareness off puck when you lose a draw that tells i know people don't like to hear because it's kind of boring right you know you guys we all talk about goals and assists and tracking and all this other kind of stuff guess what fellas you only handle the on your stick for about a minute and a half a game on average unless your name is connor mcdavid and it's maybe three minutes a game what are you doing the rest of the time you have to digest what's going on around you on and off puck

and especially in the defensive zone.

So that's why guys like Stenberg and Bjork are mature beyond the years of some of that cohort group at the top of this draft class.

That's, that's the beauty of the process, right?

Absolutely.

So when I ended my, my tenure in Florida, uh, what we did was we didn't have our year end meetings until after the combine.

Like we waited, we went into draft week early and we had our year end meetings there.

Why?

Because we had, uh, we hopefully we had enough of a story that like it was an A to Z type thing where if we cut our nose off to spite our face in may, and then we come here and then you don't want to change it all up again.

Now it's like, well,

Are we second guessing ourselves?

Are we rushing the conclusions?

So I'm really looking forward to all these guys.

I'm really looking forward to Gavin McKenna.
