I've always loved their team.

I love what they had going into last year.

The changes that were made in the offseason with Marner, it just didn't work.

And the injuries...

I look at the Florida Panthers when Billy Zito there.

Billy Zito was an associate GM with the Columbus Blue Jackets when he left.

I got to know Billy a little bit, you know, well enough.

He was a guy with unique ideas and fully thinking.

But when he went there, I was so impressed with how he changed the culture by bringing in Patrick Hornquist.

That was his first move.

And

What I'm saying is his knowledge of players, his knowledge and relationships around the league enabled him to make some decisions, plus provide himself with a big staff, a good staff, a working staff, not just people around wondering what they're doing in the organization.

No figureheads, if you will.

It's put together very well.

So the success of these teams, that's my favorite quote.

I heard it like three weeks ago, and I think that's a brilliant thing to say.

It put me at this time of...

And the other big move he made was he traded Huberto.

And he got Kachuk.

You know, is Huberto, Nylander Huberto in this situation?
