Again, what is the cutoff point?

We don't know.

People are saying 95 points, 96, whatever it is.

It's going to be a high number.

That's what I think it is.

That division, unfortunately, that conference, I think those wild card spots are going to be the mid to higher 90s, and you need to get that.

So you just do the math with the Leafs.

It's not impossible because they've got to get on a run.

And the weird thing, Brian, I don't know how you feel about this, there's teams that probably didn't want to shut down.

Columbus was on fire.

Columbus, Buffalo on fire.

And now you come back and it's like, okay, you know, the goalie.

Eat himself into oblivion?

Did you have this guy not work out?

You don't know what you're coming back to.

It's almost like a new season.

Here's what I think, and maybe this is why you're starting to see some trades trickle out.

Managers, as much as guys who have skin in the game, Kyle Dubas is over there, a bunch of general managers and that.

But there's been a lot of time for general managers to formulate plans moving forward, whether you're in it, whether you're out it, whether you're on the cusp.

You probably had to meet with owners and figure out the plan for the next couple months and maybe the next couple years, depending on what you have to sell for your owner.
