Or Austin Matthews doesn't want to be at that spot.

He doesn't want to take a number of years to get up to the point where they're pushing for Montreal in his contract situation would suggest that he's probably looking to move ahead.

So if Pavelski comes in, is he able to jump a lot of levels that Marty St.

Louis had to do and become...

the coach that can help you build but also take this team deep with a high-level player on their team.

And that is what Austin has to be thinking about because, you know, Havalski was a hell of a player.

Maybe one of the best tipping players we've ever seen in the NHL.

And smart, and he was a late rounder.

Like, he was even drafted after noodles, which is getting pretty late in the draft.

The lights are off.

But I think the message you're sending to Austin Matthews is one I'd be really interested to see, you know, how do you sell that to him?

Say, no, we've got, this is our guy.

Well, is he a head coach?

Well, he's going to be a head coach.

Well, I want to win or win quickly, not in a few years.

Let me add on to that.

Go ahead.

Well, absolutely.

So let's assume that they're going to draft Gavin McKenna.

Could Pavelski help that player?
