Like, it's one thing if we're talking about the late bloomer that the Canucks are drafting 24th or 33rd, right?

But when we're talking about 30, the third overall pick, and there are a lot of these, like, pedigree guys –

who've been, you know, like playing you 18 hockey when they were 16 and you 17 hockey when they were 15 and have been the best player and the best team on the best teams in their leagues all the way up and are being up jumped by their federation to play for the senior men's national team.

And they only turned 18 three months ago.

Like when there's still those profiles on the board, my tolerance for that sort of risk analytically, like as an analyst,

goes down.

And that's, that's not to say like if the Canucks had made the Beckett Seneca pick, I probably would have been like, wow, that's a wild roll of the dice.

I think ahead of a scoring profile like Pettersson's, probably, yeah.

I would have.

I would have.

I would have said, given the scoring profile on Elias Pettersson to sort of reach on tools.

I mean, McCarr was such an insane scorer, but he was in such an under-fished league.

We just didn't have much.

And honestly, even his age...

19 NCAA production that first season at Lowell.

Now he wasn't playing on like a loaded team and you were already starting to hear the like whispers, right?

The, the like scouts being like, you got to go see the scale McCarr kid.

Like you were already starting to hear that.

Right.

Yeah.
