In the early years of the Matthews run...

But then it became this kind of like forced, okay, we've got to get up.

They're playing in the playoffs.

I think they can win.

Oh, they didn't.

Uh-oh.

Like maybe kind of missing and resetting everything.

possibly like exactly you reset you get back you appreciate it the city goes crazy again we'll see i mean i don't i'm not going to sit here and predict when that's going to happen it could be next year maybe the year after maybe it's five more years from now maybe it's seven eight nine ten i hope not but it's possible it's great to be optimistic and think that hey you can you can kind of do some kind of you know different approach but there are so many pieces that have to be removed from that roster and that's my concern

Well, he's a U of A, but I understand what you're saying.

Those types.

You've got to get it right.

It's a two-pronged attack, as Pat Quinn might say.

It's one thing to have... This is how he said it.

There it is.

The player leaving is one thing.

How you fill that role and make it an upgrade is another thing.

But there's also some organizational...

pillars that, in my opinion, need to be established.

First and foremost, it's scouting and drafting and developing.

They've got to get back to that, which is not just what does Austin Matthews think or William Nylander.
