Now, I don't know if there's language in the contract.

I don't know if there's a labor lawyer that gets involved.

But Bill Daley's comments to our insiders is like, we're okay with it for now.

And I wonder if once the cup is handed out, maybe there's change there.

Exactly.

They go out to hire the coach, and if it's Babcock or Cassidy or somebody like that, Tortorella, it's clear they needed something, a hardened guy with detailed and structure.

But, oh, you talk about it.

How about Stan Bowman put some players in there that you don't have to move away from?

You know what it is?

Exactly that, Brian.

Like, the PA is in a tough spot here because it's almost like a suspension.

When you go into a suspension hearing, the PA is defending the player that got hurt or hit or whatever and the guy who's going to get suspended.

This is the exact same scenario.

You're going, the players in Edmonton potentially want Babcock, potentially, again, according to Ryan Kershaw,

And the PA probably has to take a look at it and say, well, what was the problem in Columbus?

Because some of the players had problems with him there.

So it's the chicken or the egg.

That's probably the confusion.

Remind me where Pavelski's been the last year.

Has he been coaching?
