Yeah, it's a pretty big swing for the fences.

The thing that Babcock has, I think that the players are obviously looking for,

is a very detailed attention to those details and a very stubbornness to this is how we play.

You know, Knobloch was a really nice guy and he's a good coach and he'll get another chance.

You know, I don't know that he had that same type of approach that we'll see from a Bruce Cassidy or a Laviolette and or specifically Mike Babcock where this is the way we play and he'll be on it every minute of every day while they sleep, while they eat and they're thinking about it.

So it's an interesting, you know, it's not finished, I suppose, but it sounds like it's pretty close.

Really interesting one, but I do believe this one had to have started in some part from the players.

So my concern is up-to-date.

Are you up-to-date?

Have you been watching the game?

Have you been following the trends?

Do you know various players on the Oilers, around the league?

So you can say, you know, we want to bring in Jeff Merritt, Jason Stratton, whoever.

This is the type of player I want.

And that is the concern.

You look at a guy, Bruce Cassidy, who's very up-to-date, coached in the NHL just a couple months ago.

And he knows everything that's going to all the people.

So has Babcock kept up to date?

I don't know.

I have no idea.
