We have the puck a little bit more than we used to.
And, you know, like I said, you put out a young kid out there and ask him to win draws, and they're winning draws at 35%.
It's a little tough, you know, as skilled as they are.
And you see it a lot, right?
We all ā
we all try to force our young guys into soon.
And Jake's got a lot of experience.
He was here when they went to the finals.
So he's a guy that, you know, quite frankly, guys like Susie and those guys that come to us and said, you know, he'd be a big, he'd be a big miss if we traded him.
Yeah, I think so.
You know, we kind of fit into what we're talking about, right?
He plays center, plays wing, can score, can kill, has some experience winning.
His age was pretty good when we got him.
It's kind of like when we traded for Duck, right?
We moved some picks.
We did some things just because, you know, if you're like we said about earlier, we talked about earlier, you draft an 18-year-old kids all the time.
It's hard to like move this along.
So you get a guy like Newey that maybe is not quite top six yet in Colorado.
They've got a lot of good players.
You get a player like him, you get Kirby.
