There's analytics, which is one way to evaluate players.

There's maybe coaches use a different... And I won't say that they don't use analytics, but maybe it's done in a different way or the emphasis is on different types of numbers.

And so I just think that everybody has to understand each other's point of view so that...

Not necessarily that you're agreeing all the time, but you understand where both sides are coming from.

And I just think there's a lot of information and the communication between the coach and the general manager is critical.

Sure, sure.

Well, let's put it this way.

I mean, I was here when we had the good fortune the last time we took a first overall pick, and that was Austin.

Now he came in and he scored four goals.

I don't have to tell you the history.

So I've had experience with that.

Now...

Every player, every first overall pick that rolls into town is not the same.

And we know that.

It's either position or size and strength, physical maturity at that time.

They all get there, but they get there at different rates sometimes.

So we're just going to have to see.

We're extremely excited.

We know we're going to get a very talented player.

And let's just see exactly where that player fits in.
