I don't know that they were able to do it.

They weren't able to get past where they want.

Let's compare the Leafs team to the San Jose Sharks.

I had no idea that Kiefer Sherwood was even on their radar.

When I saw that trade that they made, Mike Greer made for Kiefer Sherwood, can you imagine the excitement in that room?

This team, I don't think they, maybe they may believe it.

I didn't believe they were a playoff team to start the year.

They've come out, and to your point, Hayes, they've exceeded what I think most of us would have thought the Sharks were going to do.

So what does he do?

The GM goes out and rewards him.

Hey, we're bringing this guy in.

Yeah, they're going to try to sign for an extension.

I get that.

But you're thrilled and excited to get that in there.

The same can't be said of the Leafs.

They've been okay all year.

They're kind of around.

But are you going to reward that group for being maybe less than what you expected?

I don't know.

I think it's two different organizations.
