And I think that's what happened.

And then the losing, right?

Right now, I know Connor Hellebuck is upset and he wants to win, but he wants to win in Winnipeg right now.

That's why this summer is so imperative.

That will change, I feel, that's just my opinion, if another season of non-playoffs happen.

And what I think we're seeing is not just this American team dinners and who's happy where and what could things be like, and I'm just speculating on that, but I do think that's what happened.

I think the other part of it is, is what we're seeing with him and Dylan Larkin and Quinn Hughes and stuff is players aren't going to the days of a player like Dylan Larkin retiring as a red wing and missing the playoffs and only making it two times in an 18 year career are over.

They understand their careers are short and they understand the power they have.

And I think we're seeing as changing of the guard where you don't have to trade me, but I want out.

Um, and then that becomes a factor for the team that like, you gotta, so there's two things that are happening here.

I think Kevin Charles AF has to get this team back into the playoffs this summer.

That's why I think he has to take some risks and, and take some gambles.

Cause if they don't get in, I think he's going to lose his job anyway.

So you might as well take some risks.

Um, and, and then the second thing that's going to happen is.

It's two different things.

If Connor Hellebuck says, I'm not happy and I want to win here.

And it's another different thing.

If Connor Hellebuck says, I'm not happy and I want out and that hasn't happened yet, but I'm it's, it's, you know, the window for that happening is open.

And what's really going to be difficult.
